Chereads / XenoX / Chapter 7 - Chapter 7

Chapter 7 - Chapter 7

Narrator: AdC are the cutest and most perfect thing I've seen in my life.

*opens his arms and leans back* Until I met Sabrine.

*uses one hand as a pillar for his head and other flails around as he explains* Then AdC became the second cutest thing in the world for me. *slowly tilts his head* Buuut *points up* they still are the numero uno perfectest thing upon this world still.

*sits straight and does the thing with his fingers that villains do when they're plotting something* And yes. Sabrine is a spoiler heheheh.

*stops posing like the goofy goober that he is* Anyway.

As much as having a mythical ability is all fun and games. It's really hard to grasp an ability that allows you to do almost everything. 

*raises his open palm* Here's the thing.

*makes ok with his hand* Common abilities are easy to master.

*leans forward and squeezes the air in between his hands as if something was there* But the potential they have is very little. 

Yes. *sits straight and looks away* A good use of a common ability can obliterate hundreds of people. And The Light *cracks up and looks at camera beside him* another spoiler alert *and looks back at the usual camera with his open palm raised* is a perfect example of that.

*points at YOU yes YOU* And mythical ability is perfectly reversed in that matter.

*spreads his arms away* Mega hard to master, *puts his hand on chin and turns away* if not impossible for a human being. *and goes back to his first pose* With seemingly infinite potential. 

And people DO know just how much power it will hold if given enough time.

(serious) So. Some want to put the problem that may come into oblivion. *looks elsewhere* While other grasp it for themselves.

And because there are uuuh*leans back, looks up and thinks*

*he counts on his fingers* Time, Space, Heal. 

...

Sol. 

Overal controll.

...

Sol less.

...

*sits straight and makes his hands as if stopping you* Okay there are few of them.

But yeah. *scratches his head tilting it* I only know about existance of those 6.

Or at least saw them with my own 2 eyes.

Well. Anyway.

I... *tilts hies head confused* Where was I again?...

...

...

...

*snaps his fingers flinging his hand right to left* Dammit I forgor.

*sighs and facepalms letting his head down*

...

You know what? *raises his head taking hand off of his face and takes vhs tape*

I think that the title will say everything. *piuts it in the tv, the room fills with slowly fading but blinding light*

Myth-hunters

*??? breathes heavily as it looks upon a castle wall from the woods*

...

???: (crying) C'mon...

Leael...

Please...

...

This is YOUR! NATION!...

...

Please... Come before me... right now... stop me from destroying it...

Your beloved country...

...

Please...

*looks down clenching all his muscles* Why... Won'tch you swing your blade against me...

Arek: *wakes up with a jump, he's terryfied* 

...

I...

F-fuck. *he curls up in his bed* 

...

...

...

*deep breath followed by a sigh, his face slowly turns emotionless* 

... 

That's. 

Enough. 

...

I... 

... *frowns angrily gritting his teeth*

I AM! 

The unyelding demigod of this universe.

And I WILL win it all. *clenches his fists with duvet in them*

...

*smiles brightening up his face with content and goes back down in his bed* Today's the day.

*raises his eyebrows* Finally getting to do 2nd part of my exams.

Hm.

*smiles devilishly* I will win.

*and opens his eyes widely* And then I will laugh at them all. *"a terrible chill goes down your spine" he frowns with that feeling letting down his smile*

Unless my guts say otherwise. 

*Arek reaches to his phone but before he does he receives a message, he checks it, it says Dialga&Palkia, Arek reads* The gym got destroyed again. I heard the same explosion.

(writing) What now?

(reading) Someone from the insidedestroyed it.

(writing) Was it a student/teacher?

(reading) I'm not sure. It might have been a planted bomb. We'll check for people that have abilities involving explosions.

(writing) Text me later when you have more info.

(reading) One more thing.

(writing) What's up?

(reading) That explosion caused the floor to go down into something like catacombs. *Arek raises his eyebrows*

(writing) Oookayyy? That sounds weird.

(reading) That's all. Later.

(writing) See ya at school.

*he sighs painfully and lies back down* 

...

(speaking) This is gonna to be a rough day. *jumps out of bed*

(later at school right before the exam) 

Arek: (anger) I can't fucking believe that those fucking idiots actually allowed this fucking exam to fucking go! *stomps down making his hands into claws* What the actual fuck even is this fucking bullshit?!

Aiden&Cynthia: At least they told all of the students about the situation.

Arek: *turns and points at Aiden&Cythia and says with moar anger* You know what those motherfuckers should've done? 

*opens his eyes widely* They should've closed the school! *looks away pointing there his hand* And later choose some other *looks at AdC lets his arms down and stands up straight with a bounce* FUCKING place for the exam!!!

Kayle: *appears out of nowhere* Agreed.

Arek: *startled jumps back flailing his arms with his eyes wide opened* Holy shit!

Kayle: *frowns a bit* I'm not holy shit. *brightens up* And by the way, *closes her eyes and nods filed with content* your choice of words probably described most of what I had on my mind. 

Arek: *smiles unsurely with one side of his face raising his eyebrow* Oh it did?

Kayle: Yup. *points it out to him* Tho you missed a few spots. But don't worry don't worry. *pats Arek on his back* I'll get them fired in no time. *shakes him a bit*

Anyway. I've heard what happened last month. So I'm really glad to see you in good shape.

Arek: *smiles so hapily* Ayyy.-Thanks. 

(curious) By the way when do the exams start?

Kayle: Oh. *looks at her watch* 30 seconds ago.

Arek: *dumbfounded frowns and opens his arms* Wha? *points at her with them* Then why are you not there already?

Kayle: *shrugs with her eyes closed as she goes to the gym* Like something bad is going to happen cause of it.

Arek: *sighs painfully before putting on a smile* And how cool is that? *they follow her*

Kayle: One more thing Arek.

Arek: *tilts his head* Sup?

Kayle: It would be unfair for someone as weak as you to go through tests. So *takes out a box out of literally nowhere and shows it off to Arek* I've managed to get a soul suit for you. (Narrator: Soul Suit is something in kind of armor that you can charge up with soul power and later get a boost to your strength, how much stronger you'll get depends on the suit you're using, this one over here will boost Arek's strength around 2.651 times, by the way, those are at this time super expensive, only a couple thousands of people have them)

Arek: *stars sparkling in his eyes* GASP! You did it, for mee?! *happily and gracefuly puts hand on his heart*

Kayle: Yup. Charged it up myself, so you better be thankful. *hands it toArek*

Arek:*holds it in the air* Oh I am thankful a thousand times. But how did you get the right size, and how did you get one in the first place?

Kayle: I have my ways.

(few minutes later at the gym)

Arek: *waltz out the locker room with soul suit on him* Ay yo look at me.

Hubert: Bro, you look so f-ing awesome in it.

Arek: Don't I?

May: I bet I could get you a better one.

Arek: Bu'cha didn't. *May rolls her eyes* Anyway. Now, we play the game of waiting.

Hubert: Aren't you going on the 3rd or 4th?

Arek: Impossible. After the first one is chosen everybody else wants to be after him. I'll be either last or almost last.

Hubert: I mean, what's so bad about being the last one?

Arek: The ever-rising stress.

Hubert: Makes sense I guess.

*silence*

Arek: Well, let's hope that*interrupted*

Arek: MAY! *she gives a sign to Hubert, he grabs Arek and runs the opposite way, several of May's guards burst into action*

*Arek flails around in huberts arms* WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!? *everybody already ran from the gym into what seemed to be catacombs, the only light are lamps spaced out onceevery few meters, May her guards, guy1 and 2 went the opposite way, the ceiling and walls finally fall down with a huge slam blocking the way back*

HUBERT WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!? *breaks free from Hubert's hands runs to the blocked way and tries to dig through* NONONONONO!

COMEON! COME THE FUCK ON! 

...

*he stops after a while, punches the wall once and breaks down*

Hubert: *concerned reaches out to Arek* Are*he turns to him*

Arek: *with anger and despair in his eyes making his hands into claws* WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO THAT!?

Hubert: If I wouldn't do that you might've di*interrupted*

Arek: YOU THINK I GIVE A FUCK THAT SOMETHING MIGHT'VE HAPPENED TO ME!? SHE NEEDED US, MAYBE SHE GAVE YOU A FUCKING SIGN OR SOMETHING, BUT SHE STILL NEEDED US! AND GUESS WHAT!?!!??

...

*looks away* I don't want to lose anyone else... I can't... *looks at Hubert with fury again* AND NOW SHE MIGHT BE DYING! *cries his eyes out while groveling in the ground*

FUCK*punchesthe ground*... FUCK*again*, FUCK*again*FUCK*and again*FUCK*andagain*FUCK*and again*FUUUCK! *breathes heavily*

...I hate this fucking floor...

Hubert: (angry , looking down on Arek) Then stand the fuck up. 

You're supposed to be our boss, our leader. 

So at least try to give us good orders. *realization hits Arek like a train, he opens his eyes wide* At least try to save her, instead of doing absolutely fucking nothing.

Arek:*clutches his fists gritting his teeth and stands up* Challenge fucking accepted. *looks at Hubert still so furious* Kayle, protect everyone. *starts to walk the opposite way to a nearest crossroad* Hubert, AdC, we're going. *they follow him*

Kayle: Hold it right there*interrupted*

Arek: *turns his head* Too bad. I'm not losing, not again. *looks at his fellow schoolmates* And someone has to stay with the shitheads. *Kayle is astonished and angry*

Kayle: Stop joking around we're not in some kind of*Arek stops, so does Hubert Aiden&Cynthia else, he turns around and looks at her with furious red from tears eyes, after 5 seconds he walks to the crossroad again, Hubert and AdC follow him*

Arek: Time, space, go right. Wolfy, we're going left. We meet on the opposite side of the collapsed tunnel. 

Hubert: Got it!

AdC: *nod* Hm! *they run left, Arek and Hubert the opposite way*

...

Arek: *calms down a bit* Hubert. 

Hubert: I hear ya!

Arek: *cracks up* Can you next time just kick my ass and tell me to stand up when I have a breakdown?!

Hubert: *smirks* You got that boss!

*moments later*

Arek: (distressed) Nnngh! Still nothing!

Hubert: Don't worry, we'll find them in no time!

Arek: Do you know what is the average maximum time someone can keep their armor on?!

Hubert: I don't!

Arek: It's 7 fucking minutes! May can keep it up normally for around 19 minutes, but now she's fighting!

Hubert: C'mon, give her a bit more credit. And believe in her more.

Arek: (desperate) My belief wON't, sAVe her! 

*silence, but the footsteps are so loud*

*you can hear a powerful slamcoming from the front Arek opens his eyes wide*

FASTER! *they run at top speed, and after few seconds they run into a wall*

BREAK IT! *Hubert puts on his armor speeding up and destroys the wall with a powerful kick, they go through it to see May barely keeping up with two pieces of shit, her guards are down, so are several other people, Hubert summons a gun and shoots at them, May looks behind before she backs off*

GET FUCKING GOOD! *Arek throws an iron rod at them, it hits guy1 doing close to no damage, the rod just bounces off of him they back up a bit*

*everyone keeps eyes at each other...*

MAY! *jumps at her with a hug* FOR FUCK'S SAKE! 

Don'tch-you ever dare do that again! *he lets her go quickly taking out another rod out of his pants and takes on a fighting stance*

May: I'm... sorry... *she didn't move much, she keeps being ready for their move*

Hubert: What now?

Arek: Now? *takes out his mp3, his voice slowly changes, puts in the earbuds* I might not look like it but I'm reeeaaally fucKING PISSED! *he smiles with his eyes wide open as he says that, he chooses the music*

*May and Hubert glance at him a bit scared*

(he's fucking furious) Oooh...-I'm sOOO! going to PUT this FUCKing,-ROD UP YOUR ASSES! *turns it on, he suddenly starts to feel powerful,everything around him slows down*

Hubert: E... *sighs* What do you say I take the one on the second one while you take care of the first one?

May: Sounds good to me.

Arek: *all hapi as if nothing happened tilts his head happily raising his eyebrows* Sounds like a plan to me. *changes his tone to furyful madness again as he turns on his mp3 and takes deep breath* LET'S! FUCK! THESE! FUCKERS! UP! 

*XenoX rushes with an iron rod at guy1 and attacks swinging at him tripple time, he parried all of them before he goes for a jab at XenoX but May dashes in and wraps her whip around his arm, guy1 tries to attack over and over but every single time he gets more tangled until he can't move his arms at all he still tries to no avain, XenoX with a devil's smile appears behind him and proceeds to pound back of his head with his rod while laughing maniacally*

CRY SOME MORE AHAHAHAHAHA! *guy1 tries to cut May's legs but May doesn't give in, she moves back with a spin making the him loose balance and pins him down on ground, Arek drops his bent rod and takes another as he rushes at guy1 and attacks over and over again with every single attack obliterating his face, guy1's Armor breaks and turns off, XenoX attacks several more times* 

SERIOUSLY?! *turns off his mp3*

IS THAT IT!?... *May lets him go de-summoning her whips and jumps back up, Arek just drops his rod on the insignificant piece of shit bored*

*meanwhile Hubert summoned a second gun and starts to shoot at guy2, he takes the bullets like a master and summons a machinegun*

Hubert: (that moment when you know you fucked up) ... Fuck... *guy2 starts shooting at Hubert who tries to outrun the bullets while shooting back at him, Hubert hides behind a wall and guy2 turns his fire at XenoX and May*

Oh. sHIT! *he runs away with May to a wall hiding behing it, Arek's shot, he mufles* NNH! 

*guy2 stops shooting but you still can hear the barrel spinning* 

*covers the gun shot wound on his arm frowning and gritting his teeth* ShSHHH! AHH... Fuck. 

May: Let me see it. *she takes Arek and turns him to her, he takes his hand off of his arm to let her see*

Okay it's not too bad. *she uses the last bits of her ability to take out the bullet and sighs painfully closing her eyes* Come onnn... Please work...

*the wound stops bleeding and regenerates a bit*

Okay. It'll do for now.

Arek: *sigh* Thank you.

May: No probs.

Arek: Now then. *takes out his phone goes to the walls edge and uses it as a mirror, he's aiming at where Hubert's hiding* You do realize you have no chances with us!? *he turns to Arek* It's 3 on 1! Just take your friend and get out! *guy2 looks at a console at his armor's wrist* Hmm. He modified his armor... interesting... *guy2 takes the guy1 and holds him like a shield against Hubert, he then turns to Arek and May and slowly walks to them*

Dafq?...

Hubert: *disgusted he's aiming at guy2 who uses guy1's body as a shield* THAT BASTARD!

Arek: Alright. *hides his phone and looks at* May. We jump at him on 3. 

May: *nod* Got it. *Arek looks back at where they're about to jump to and prepares his mp3* 

Arek: One...

*guy2 keeps waiting for someone to peek as he slowly walks closer*

Two... 

...

*but then AdC appear from behind soundlessly and take away guy1 and bruise guy2 a huge bit while doing so, guy2 stuttered tries to shoot them down but Hubert starts shooing at his head* 

THREE! *they jump out, May wraps guy2 in place while XenoX smashing os rod on him over and over again, his armor turns off in matter of seconds, Hubert stops shooting just at the right moment to not kill him while Arek finishes him off, guy2 drops down like a tree*

Arek: *opens his arms happily and with a smile* Aiden! Cynthia! God bless you for coming here!

*they make an ok sign* 

Arek: Anyway. *thumbs up and looks at his team happily as he puts hand on his waist* Nice teamwork everyone. 

Hubert: *raises his eyebrows* But... *points open palm at May* why did they want to get May that much.

*opens his arms* Like. *and then at AdC and looks at them for a second* Why didn't they go for Adc? *loos back at Arek* Or you?

May: I'm the mythical healer AAND the only heir to my family's fortune.

*raises her hand and puts weight on rear leg* If they get me. They can threaten my mother as they please.

Arek: *nods and crosses his arms* Yup. *rolls his eyes* Aaand *looks at May* I think that people would see you as the most powerful and important between the four of us anyway.

*makes the _/|\_ pose* Like.

*before putting both hands on mis chest and smiles uncontrollably* Me?! 

*\/|\/* They can only use me as a lab rat! *shakes his head as he looks at his team* High value but still not too much!

AdC. *points at them with open hand* Powerful. Unyelding. *and tilts his head a bit* But I don't think that they would want to bend time or space if they have an undying army!

So yeah. *raises his arms even higher*

*looks at May* I think that objectively May is the most important between all of us in all places. *poor May is just standing there embarassed*

*AdC nod*

Hubert: *scratches his neck* I can't really disagree...

Arek: Anyway. We just gonna sit here and do nothing?

Hubert: Yeah. *waltz up to Arek*

Let's go back. I'm hungry. *pokes Arek with his elbow* What do you say Boss we go for a casserole? *they take May's guards by legs and drags them along*

Arek: *closes his eyes and thinks about it for a bit with a smile* Mmm. Yea.

I feel like casserole now. Lezduit.

*they start to walk to Kayle with guards*

*but then, Arek opens his eyes wide as his pupils contract in fear, he starts turning, everything slows down several times, they hear a quick chain of explosions that lead to destroying a wall somewhere around the place from which Aiden&Cynthia came from, someone with punching gloves bursts out in seconds*

*Arek's turning to them so slowly, the guy with the gloves suddenly bursts full speed at Arek and hits him in the gut, the time flows normally again and Arek is thrown back many meters and hits a wall, his lungs lock and he's unable to breathe as he falls unconscious*

...

... 

*Arek wakes up, everything is blury, the noise, the sight, the touch, but he can see people fighting in front of him, tears immedieatly flow down his cheeks*

Arek: (thinking in pain) The... hell's going on?... *he tries to focus his vision to no avail*

My everything... it hurts so. bad... *all he can hear is that high pitched noise*

Where... am I? What... happened? Think... *he's looking around and... nothing*

...

Oh... yeah... that happened...

What now?... They're fighting, but everything hurts, so, much... I don't know what to do... 

focus your eyes... *he tries to do so* It's. Hubert... Aiden... Cynthia... 

Hm... 

(scared) Hold on... where's May? *he tries to stand up trembling but something from his left stops him from moving, he turns his head and sees May without her armor already, she's worryingly saying something to Arek, but he can't hear a thing, he reaches her with his hand*

...

*she graps it and says something smiling, from the movement of her lips Arek makes out a few words*

May: Don't worry, it's going to be okay.

*she takes Arek in her arms and starts to run away* Everything is just fine. 

Arek: Liar... 

...

Thank you... I guess I should do the same. *he smiles and says without hearing himself* Kay. *she smiles back*

*ground trembles underneath them*

Arek: (thinking) They're still fighting... and here I am, unable to do anything. What even happened?... Why can't I use my legs?... Or feel them...

Am I paralyzed?... 

...

Maybe...

...

...

...

I really fucked up... hadn't I?...

...

I just wanted to save May...

And now others might die. *tears appear in his eyes* I'm one huge shit of aleader... 

...

Ain't I?...

...

(nextday at the hospital hospital, Arek lies alone on a bed, emotionless...) 

...

Arek: (thinking) Maybe someone will come at some piont... 

...

Press x to doubt tho... *blink*

It's a bit too early for that...

Unless?...

...

... *blink*

...

So boring... There's literally nothing to do... I can't even frckn' watch memes... 

Laughing would destroy me from pain... *blink*

...

...

...

being disabled is so annoying. *rolls his eyes* No shit sherlock... *he blinks and looks straight again*

I can barely f-ing move my hands, almost unable to speak.

...

*sigh*

And I still... Wait... *blink*

...

Now I feel so bad for all those disabled people... Unlike me, they don't have the ultimate healer in the reach of their hands. *blink*

I just have to wait until she's back and I can move properly again. 

All I have to do is play the game of waiting... *blink*

...

...

... *blink*

My mind is. so. blank. 

...

*looks elsewhere thinking* Well, *and straight again* almost blank. 

There is this one nice thought. *smiles and closes his eyes*

What if... 

*Arek's imagination, Arek seems to older, he's standing in front ofhis house, he's also dressed in really formal clothes* 

Arek: *unlocks the door and enters the house* Hi Maaay!

May: (from kitchen) Welcome back! The dinner will be ready soon but don't come in! it's a surprise! *Arek takes off his coat and shoes*

Arek: *raises his eyebrow* Surprise? What's the occasion? *he walks up to the kitchen door and leans on them*

May: And why should there be an occasion?

Arek: *nods twice with his eyes closed* I see I see. *points up* Now you just gave me a really good idea.

May: And what is it?

Arek: *smiles so brightly* It's a surprise.

May: *disappointed sighs* Why have I expected something else?

Arek: *closes his eyes and shakes his head* Not even I know the answer for that.

May: You don't know the answer to almost anything.

Arek: *looks elsewhere tilting his head and nodding* Kinda tru. Kinda tru. *smiles* I'll give you that. 

*tilts it other way* But at the same time not really.

May: I said almost.

Arek: I know. But you can't say that I don't know almost anything if you don't know everything yourself. 

*raises his eyebrows pridefuly* And I know at least one more thing.

May: Can't argue with that.

*silence*

Arek: (dumbfounded) So umm. Are you going to ask what is that one thing that I know?

May: (smug) I knew you'd ask.

Arek: (same) And I knew you would. 

*tilts his head* Sooo?

May: Right. AHEM! 

(acting all high and mighty) And what is that one thing that you know?

Arek: *closes his eyes proud of himself* I know that in my eyes you are the most beautiful thing in the world.

*silence*

*opens them smug* You're blushing, aren't you?

May: Maybe.

Arek: *and closes them again and nods* I'll take that as a yes... Well, have you finished?

May: I'm almost done. Just give me a few more seconds.

Arek: *impatiently wags his head around* But I can't wait to seeee youuu.

May: Too bad cause you have to wait.

Arek: C'mon May.

May: No.

Arek: May.

May: No.

Arek: (angery) MMMMM!

May: No.

Arek: *winks and looks to hie left* Pretty pleeeaaase.

May: *sigh* How many more of those do you have?

Arek: *cracks up closing his eyes* Enough to keep saying them for the rest of my life and not get bored.

...

May: *sigh* 

Okay, but just for a sec. *Arek jumps off of the door, they open, in them he sees older May, she has a wedding ring on her hand*

Hi.

*backin the real world, Arek is at peace with that happy profound and content smile, someone enters the room breaking Arek's imagination, he opens his eyes startled* 

Arek: (half-dead whispering voice) Hey, hi... Listen I can't hear so if you wanna say something to me you're gonna have to go in front of me and tell it to mi in wingdings... *chuckles*

I don't know any other sign language... *Arek partially regains his hearing and the pain slowly fades away*

(confused) I, can hear again? Da hell? 

*pog and smiles afterwards* OHH! *closes his eyes as he nods* I get it now. 

Hi May. *he turns his head back to look at her*

May: *she waves to him all hapi and cute* Hi Arek.

Arek: I was actually thinking about you just a moment ago. (thinking) Us.

May: *walks before Arek* Really?

Arek: Yup. *raises himself and sits using arms as pillars*

*smiles so happily* Thanks for saving me back there. 

*looks to his side a bit concerned* And bringing me all the way tothe hospital. 

*and to the other side a bit sad* Aaand healing me right now...

*and at May for a second but decides not to, he just glances at her and looks back down* And. Yeah... Everything...

May: No probs. *stands so pridefully* Buuut there's one but.

Arek: *tilts his head curiously* What is it?

May: Because of your bad commanding. *walks to his side* 

You! Almost died. 

*leans to him* Everybody else! Almost died.

*boops his nose* Wee! * and takes him by his cheek* Don't want that. *she lets him go* (Narrator: Hey to those who know the reference.)

Arek: *scratches his head nervously* Heheh, sorry about that.

May: *stands back straight* I guess that it was the best option you had. *closes her eyes* But still. You messed up, so I will be punishing you now.

Arek: (distressed) Ummm, and what is it that you are going to do with me?...

May: *tilts her head happily* Oh don't you worry. I promise that you won't feel any pain.

Arek: *even more distressed he looks elsewhere and nods to himself with a frown* Yea. Cool. That's reassuring...

May: *nods back* Good to know.

...

Okay, I'm finished.

Arek: Well then let's *tries to get out of bed* get out of heEEEEE! *he falls off of it, May catches him last second, he says distressed and with a frown on his face* Ummm. May?

May: *she puts him back in bed* Mmm-hM?

Arek: Why my legs aren't working?

May: *maliciously opens her eyes and looks at Arek with power and pity* That is your punishment.

Arek: (=_=)... Please tell me you're joking...

*no response, she gets in front of him and smiles and tilts her head so gorgeous*

...

*Arek makes a sound of a soul leaving a body as he stares into the void before taking a deep breath* 

*sigh* Okay I guess. *looks away* Not much I can do now. 

*and back at May* Can I? *she keeps on smiling*

Tsch-Shshh... Yeh...

May: *tilts her head* Oh don't worry. I'll take really good care of you today, so you don't have to worry your little head in the slightest. 

Arek: *she pats him on his head, he makes a grumpy face* Hmph! 

*back in his casual self looks at May* Anyway, what are we doing today?

May: *stops being so malicious* Well. *looks up thinking* You already skipped on examining your soul last month *looks at Arek* so that's the first thing on our to do list today. *malicious again she tilts her head smiling* After that, we can go to the city if you want to. (Narrator: Because Arek has no soul power, his soul is checked every month to check if something changed, last month he was destroyed by Mark so he skipped the examination.)

Arek: *opens his arms angrily and frowning and says sarcastically* Why of course, I want people to see me, and... *puts his hand on his mouth and thinks brightening up a bit, and says with a delicate smile* Actually, what do you say we go shopping?

May: *confused backs off* Umm... *smiles uncontrollably scratching her neck* I expected a bit different reaction.

Arek: (smug) There's a very old saying "expect the unexpected".

May: *sigh* Can't argue with that. 

*tilts her head* Still, I can't really understand why you would want to go shopping disabled.

Arek: *shrugs with eyes closed* Don't worry. *glances at May* I'll tell ya later if you'll be kind to me, *looks away* not that I expect anything else of you.

May: You have a big mouth for someone who's disabled.

Arek: *puts hand on his chest filled with glee* Why thank you.

(doctor's office, Arek is sitting in a wheelchair, there are a lot of cables connected to him) 

dr.Rue: *reading the results on her computer vacantly* Well. Everything seems to be normal.

Arek: *points fingers at her winks and says jokingly* You mean that everything is out of normal?

dr.Rue: *sigh* I swear. 

One of these days I'm going to kick you out the window.

Arek: *happily goes back and forts on his wheelchair* And I've been looking up to that day for 3 years now.

dr.Rue: You're lucky you're in a wheelchair right now. *takes the cables off of Arek*

Arek: *smuggest he ever way drops his hand* Oh DOn't let the stop you my dear.

dr.Rue: Get out. *turns away and points at exit*

*goes back to her computer* I have other patients that need physical and or soul treatment. Unlike you who needs 7 therapists.

Arek: *head tilt* The rapists?

dr.Rue: *facepalms and tries to not crack up smiling, she fails* 

...

Away you go.

Arek: *gigles* Okay okay. Geeez...*puts on his shirt* See you in a month! *drives to the hall, May is waiting there for him*

May: Anything new? 

Arek: *shrug* Nope, same old me, just as always.

May: *prepares* Now then, here comes the best part. *she starts to push thewheelchair towards the elevator for the disabled*

Arek: (smug) Have fun while you still can. *turns and stares dagers at her* Not that I'd do something as bad asthat to you tho.

May: (but she's so much more) But I do.

Arek: Yup. *looks up and tries to see May* Anyway, do you know if anybody else is coming with us today?

May: Nope. Just the two of us.

Arek: (thinking) Kinda feels like a date... *blushes opening his eyes wide* HOLY SHIT IT ACTUALLY IS A DATE!

May: But because Cynthia won't be with us today I had to arrange some guards.

Arek: *dumbfound glances at May* Guards?

May: *she leans over to look at* Arek. We're one of the 4 most important people in the world when it comes to our souls. 

Arek: Oh yeah. *she goes back* And how many of them did you take?

May: Take a look yourself. *they drive up the window*

Arek: *stares for a second* Ho,-ly,-shit...

May: *they drive to the elevator* For you, it might be confusing but for me, it's the most normal thing. *May pushes the button and they drive down, she then turns both of them to the mirror*

Arek: But there was like! *looks away in disbelief* What? 

*and looks at May again raising his hands* 150 of them!?

May: 160. 

Arek: *makes his hands into claws* Then why at your house there's only about 25 of them?!

May: 200 at least.

Arek: *looks away with disbelief and frown shaking his head* Wha?-Yh-*and looks at May*Where the hell even are they?!

May: They're hidden. *elevator door opens, they ride towards the exit*

Arek: *with despair puts his head on hand sinking in the wheelchair and stares into the void* Cool. 

Please tell me that they're not watching me while I'm in the toilet.

May: They don't.

Arek: *sighs with a bit of relief* 

...

At least that. 

Still. *raises himself back up* I can't really think of many places they can be hiding in.

May: Don't worry. *still so proud* I don't fully know either.

Arek: (sarcastically) Yes, because that puts me at ease. *they leave the hospital and ride towards the limo*

(later at the shopping center, they're driving through a clothes shop)

Are you enjoying yourself?

Arek: Absolutely. *does that thing with his hands that every villain do when they plan something evil with that devilish smile* Look at all those 13 to 17 horny teenagers. Do you know what they think when they look at a disabled guy with a 13/10 girl?

*smiles devilishly* Envy.

May: You're evil.

Arek: Part of me? *closes his eyes a bit and says with evil whisper* Yesss...

May: But you know what?

Arek: (back to his casual self) Hmm?

May: *her eyes are filled with glimmer of hope* You think that they all look and envy you. But it's not all bad you know. Some of them might see some hope for humanity. 

Seeing as two so different people get along. *Arek's face go -_- after that ssentence* Just think about it.

Arek: *full of sadge goes back and forth on his wheelchair* I don wanna give em hope!... *stops* well, not just yet. *looks up right tilting his head*

One day in the I'll be the beacon of light. *reaches forth* But now I'm young and want to *clutches his fist smiling* piss them all off as hard as I f-ing can. *May gigles*

May: You're probably going to have a good chance in a short while. My mother is coming back in several days.

Arek: *his face changes to sadge+scared* NooOOOO!

May: Hahahaha. *deep breath* This is way too good.

Arek: I DON WANNA SEE THIS DEMON. 

May: If I were to call that then I'd lie badly. 

She isn't the worst you know. In the end, *closes her eyes happily* she does want good for me. 

*she tries hard to actually say it* It's just that... uh... sometimes she does things without thinking what I want... *Arek turns with Dwayne Jonson's face, May looks at him and sighs* Okay. 

*looks away* Almost every time.

Arek: *shakes his head once* I NEVER. Saw her thinking about what YOU want.

May: *she looks away unsurely* There were a few times.

Arek: (surprised) Well that's something new. 

*plants his open palm on his cheek making the pog face and pointing before him at the thing* gasp! Look! *it's a shirt with an astronaut cat*

May: Hm. Looks nice.

Arek: *excitement 100, the wheelchair is gonna break if he keeps jumping in it* And look it's in the cheap section! *they drive over to it*

May: *shakes her head* Price doesn't matter Arek.

Arek: (angery) Well maybe it matters for ME! *takes it on his lap*

*he says concerned but he's still looking at his shirt* But remember May. At some point she might do something so bad that you won't actually believe it for a second.

*turns to May* You HAVE to fight her off one day.

May: Hm... You're probably right. 

It's just so hard. *she makes her hands into mantis claws and makes a jab with them while smiling a bit embarassed, Arek looks at her funny through the mirror* She has that attacking voice of hers. *they both crack up*

Arek: It's one of those mountains you have to climb through if you don't want to get burned by an angry crowd. *picks a shirt with a pug onit while nodding to himself as his concerned face compleately changes* This. 

*makes ok sign* Now, this is beautiful. *puts the shirt on his lap* That's enough for me. *happily jumps on his wheelchair while pointing at* Changing room! C'mon-Cmon-let's go! We'll buy some jeans and blouses in other shops! *she drives them over to it*

May: Okay. But. *cracks up and shakes her head with confused smile* Where that angry crowd comes from? 

Arek: *shrug* I dunno. A sudden thought? 

*crosses his arms and* C'mon, you're asking too much of me.

May: But do you honestly believe I can do it?

Arek: Yeah. Easy stuff. Just take a big breath, tight your muscles and go reach for the sun. *he does so before he looks back at May*

May: Well. If you say so. *they stop*

Arek: Anyway. *turns and with angery look on his face says while pointing up* Don't peek unless I allow you... *cracks up smiling and drives in the changing room closing the curtain*

May: *crosses her arms and puts weight on rear leg* Don't assume I'm a pervert just because some people are.

Arek: *holding up the T-shirt* May. One of us is definitely a perv. 

AND I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT IT'S NOT ME! 

Anywae, I look so dumb in this wheelchair. *May sighs painfully as Arek cracks up before he starts to change*

...

You know. It's not that hard actually. *puts on the Astro-cat shirt* Maybe because it's just the top but still. I expected it to be a bit harder. *turns and opens the curtain popening his arms in question* So?

May: *points at Arek with that cute as hell smile of hers tilting her head* Looks nice.

Arek: You bet it does! *puts a hand on his heart so gracefuly turning his head to right* III, only pick the HIGH-quality stuff. *glances at her*

May: *closes her eyes a bit thinking* But... Mmm... Something's wrong with your hair. *she leans to him and straightens his hair a little bit, and Arek... tries not to stare... he's gonna loose nnn because of this, he's all red and embarassed, May walks back * There we go-*but she trips on her leg* Eh?*Arek wakes up from his trans and distressed tries to catch her forgetting his legs don't work, he catches May by her hand and tries to pull her up but she pulls him down along with her, they fall with a massive thump*

Arek&May: Ow!

Arek: *raises himself a bit* You oka-*opens his eyes to get shocked, he's right on top of her*

I... *they stare at each other embarassed for 4 seconds before Arek quickly gets off of her and lies beside her*

May: (her nose has blushed out of existence) Umm... I...

Arek: (f-ing same) ... S-sorry... I...

May: (red af) I-it's okay... My bad... I shouldn't have fallen in the first p-place...

...

*she takes a deep breath followed by a sigh before she stands up*

*she reaches to Arek*

Arek: *all red and blushing they try to not look at each other* Thanks. *takes her hand letting her raise him up in his wheelchair*

...

*scratches his head nervously* I... guess I'll check the other shirt...

May: Yeah. *he closes the courtain and tries on the other T-shirt in silence* (Narrator: Oh the happy accidents. Don't we all love them?)

(later that day in front of Arek's house, May's driving Arek up to his house)

May: *leans over to Arek and asks happily* So. Did you enjoy your day?

Arek: *nods furiously* Mhm-mhm-mhm-mhm!

May: *nod* Hm. Glad to hear that.

*she goes back* Anyway. *she stops at the door a bit concerned and scratches her neck* Your mom is probably gonna be angry at me. *sigh*

Arek: Oh. *drops his hand* Nah. *and snakes his head* She's not here. 

*loks up-left* Same with Amy.

May: (surprised) Oh...

Arek: Yeeeaaah. *takes out keys out of his pocket and hands them to May*

The're gonna be here in an hour. Max 2. *she takes them and opens the door*

May: Well. Where are they? *walks up to Arek and pushes him inside*

Arek: A concert. Kochanek? I think that's his name?

Not sure tho.

May: *smiles so kindly* Well that sounds lovely.

Arek: *nods smiling* Yeah.

...

May: *light bulb lights above her head* Hey Arek.

*goes to his side and leans over* You want to sleep over at my place?

Arek: *hapi&excited GASP* LEZDUIT! *takes out his phone* I just gotta call my mom.

But let's move already!

May: Alrighty then. *turns 180 and waltz out with Arek happily*

*some time later at her mansion*

Arek: *yawn* You know, sitting in a wheelchair all day is *rolls his head* sooo exhaaauuusting. *and looks at May*

May: Don't worry, just one more day and you'll be back on your legs.

Arek: *distressed frowns and shakes his head in fear* Hold on a minute! *looks at May* One more day!?

May: (smug) You heard me right.

Arek: *facepalm* You've got to be kidding me.

May: *pats Arek o head and plays a bit with his chaos of a hair* Don't worry, tomorrow will be a very fine day at school. 

Arek: *makes sound of a dead man giving out his last breath and says sarcastically flinging his hand angrily* Why yes! *nods several times to himself* A very fine day... A veryy fiine day...

*they approach Arek's room*

May: Do you need help with climbing on bed? *opens the door for him*

Arek: *a bit angrily looks at May* Aw come on, gimme a bit more credit! *approaches bed himself*

Hmm... This is going to be a bit tricky. *tries to climb on it somehow, he grab the duvet and pulls it, not much effect, 3 seconds pass, he leans forward and tries to do the same with bedsheets, nope, 0 effect, 7 seconds pass, he frowns angrily and grabs powerfully the arms of wheelchair, before he LAUNCHES HIMSEL-he falls down, he tries to raise himself, but... eh... 16.87 seconds pass*

*sigh...* I know you're watching me May. And I know how much you enjoy this.

C'mon, just... help me over here.

May: *sighs and stops leaning on door frame, she walks up to Arek with that delighted and pitiful smile of hers* And what would you do without me? *she takes Arek in her arms like a princess making him blush, he tries to not look May in the eyes, she then puts him in his bed and covers him with duvet, before happily walking to the doors*

*she takes the handle* But if I'm being honest with you. *and looks back* I enjoy helping people *rolls eyes* way more *and looks at Arek* than teasing them. *tilts her head a bit and widens her smile* It's just that you're that exception. 

Arek: *points his finger up* See. I told you I'm not the pervy one between the two us. 

May: *sighs... before she cracks up belly laughing and facepalming and shaking her head delicately* Why?... *turns off the lights and raises her head to look at Arek one last time* Goodnight.

Arek: Night. *May leaves the room and closes the door*

...

...

...

*exhausted siiighs painfuly putting his hand on face* God-fucking-dammit. *blushes hard* So embarrassing... 

It's the second time she princess carried me... 

*makes open spots for his eyes with his fingers* She's so kind and beautiful... and I love her... so, so, much...

*looks away* I just wish I could do more for her... She's so cute when she blushes... 

...

If things were to stay as is... 

If I was to stay disabled like this forever... I truly wouldn't mind...

Because she's my beautiful guardian angel... *falls asleep*

...

...

End
