Chapter 28 - Part 26

"Hey, you okay?" Noah asked. He sounded more entertained than worried. The echoes of their voices collided in the long expensive hallways. In the eerie silence only their noises accompanied them.

"Yeahh.. Yup." Neo answered. His eyes were droopy and lost all life. He was stumbling on his feet and crashing against walls.

".. Real convincing." Noah said. "You want to go back?" He asked Neo, already done with the tired boy who looked drunk.

"Nah, I'm fine." Neo said as he bumped his against another wall.

"You're sleeping on the floor." Noah said, looking annoyed. His brows were furrowed as he was about to kick Neo back.

"No I'm not. You're seeing things." Neo said with a tired voice. He was in fact in the middle of falling asleep on the floor. With his small body curled into a ball for warmth. He turns into a weird specimen every time he's tired.

"Ughhhhhh.." Whined Noah. "Fine." Noah said 'I'm used to this.' He thought as he held the sleeping Neo's feet while dragging him.

"Y'know.. Weren't you supposed to be a system? All you do is.. Beat me up. You had one job.." Neo muttered. Taking out courage from his ass that he never could while training with Noah. Noah's veins popped on his forehead.

"Ah, is preparing you for the future not part of my job?" Noah said. He was annoyed but when Neo was tired nothing could get through ahead of him. Not even G0d could get through him.

"Did I ask for it to be your job?" Neo answered back, looking tired as ever.

"Yes, yes you did. In fact you begged me to train you." Noah said, already done with Neo.

".. Oh." Neo said. "Wait, I don't remember begging-" He said only to be cut off by Noah.

"Oh you will be in tomorrow's training if you don't shut up and sleep." Noah said, calmly.

"..." Neo didn't answer back and decided to sleep and forget about troublesome matters such as Noah.

"Did you knock him out?" Lily asked. Not looking concerned at all. As if this was a normal thing. They all had arrived back in the room before Neo and Noah.

"Oh my god! Is he dead?!" Conny screeched, looking way too worried. Now looking scared of Noah. That was when Noah knew he found another kid to bully.

"I'm sure he's not dead-" Louise tried to reason, raising his hands to assure the others that Neo for sure was not un-alive.

"He's dead!?" Elias said, worried. This made Louise sigh as he tightened his fists. Louise's smile was nonetheless present all-throughout.

"Neos dead?" Leo asked, looking like he was on the wedge of crying. His voice was soft and angelic, cracking a few hearts.

"For you! I shall live.. Forever..!" Neo said in his sleep. Going back into a peaceful slumber seconds after.

"....." Silence followed. Leo just looked very happy Neo was still alive.

"Z-z-z-z-zombie?" Conny said, scaring Rose in the process. "D-d-d-don't say that-'' Rose said, her hands and legs shaking as she remembered the washroom incident.

"No, no. He is alive. No zombies." Louise said as he got in bed. Today was enough for him. "El, Bed. Now." He said to Elias as he closed his eyes.

"But-" Elias tried retorting but was shot down by a glare and finally agreed. "Goodnight everyone and Conny." He said as he lifted the blanket on top of himself in the bed with Louise.

"Wow, talk about favoritism." Rose said she too set up her bed. Conny stung out a tongue to Rose in return. Forgetting about his previous social anxiety. Then proceeded to head to his bed where Leo lay sleeping.

"You should have dieeddd..." Lily whispered ominously into Neo's ear. "I'll take you with me.." Neo said back in his sleep ominously.

"Lily-san, Where will you sleep?" Liliana asked with a beautiful closed eye smile. Dragging Lily out of her ominous conversation with Neo.

"Ah.. I don't know?" Lily said, sounding un-sure. She was caught before acting innocent. She still doesn't know how to act with the villainesses now. Still she kept an awkward smile on her face,

"Why don-" Liliana said but was cut off by Rose. "Why don't you sleep with me?" Rose asked with a bright smile. A lightning bolt went between Liliana and Rose's eyes.

"I will allow you to hug me all night." Liliana said. Placing a hand on her chest to show her truthfulness. She looked very determined.

"I-i- I will allow you too- too, uh take all the pillows?" Rose said unsure. But still determined, fired in her eyes.

"Eh?" Lily looked confused, she was sure they would hate her more after she accidently let her true self out. But, it seems the two didn't change much? It filled her with determination.

"Sleep with both onee-sans?" Lily said, testing if her innocent act still works. It did as the two stood in place looking as stiff as a rock.

"Yes." Both answered in unison. Lily giggled, liking the attention. They snuggled in a bed together keeping each other warm. And, also to embrace each others cuteness.

"What about me? Eh? Eh?" Lanai said out loud, confused about being left alone. No one was left to sleep with her. With a deep sigh she opened the gate and went to her mother's room leaving the kids sleepover.

"I'm sorry, but I want the huggees." She said her last words as she exited. Looking like a soldier who was forced to betray their home country.

"..." Noah was left alone with a sleeping Neo.

"Sigh.." He took a long breath as he dragged Neo by his feet to the bed. Yeeting the poor sleeping boy on top of the bed. Making Neo wake up.

"Fucckk" Neo muttered tiredly holding the arm that got twisted in the process or yeet. "Youu.." He continued. Then silence followed as he fell asleep. Not even a mere 3 seconds took for him to fall asleep even through his arm pain.

"..." Noah sighed, he really couldn't deal with a tired Neo. He basically threw himself at the left over bed and drifted off to sleep. Awaiting the new adventures of the future.
