????????????
HUH!? WHO!
WHAT! HOW! …… Well, that would leave out when and where, doesn’t it? But why is
Axl in my bed? Why are we both nude?
…..?
Ah-HA! Now
I remember everything that happened yesterday! We fucked each other and such!
Yeah, can’t believe for a moment that I forgot that. I guess I shouldn’t have
overdone it with the alcohol yesterday. Almost got myself a heart attack there.
But it’s okay now. I wasn’t all that drunk and I pretty much remember
everything now. I sure hope Axl won’t end up panicking. He might only went
along with this because he was drunk… If that’s so then I’m in big trouble. Why
don’t I try to think of something else… Ah! I got it!
I got up
from my bed and went over to my desk, taking out another one of my packs and
lit up another cigarette once I got it out. Seems as if my troubles go away
when I smoke. Wish they really would. It feels so good to get some warmth into
my lungs when I’m stressed. Heh, I forgot that I don’t have lungs.
I stripped
myself back into my armor which was lying around the floor, and got myself
ready to plan ahead on some things. Biting onto the end of my cigarette, I
turned on my computer and put in the disk Zero gave me yesterday. It’s time for
some spring cleaning. Browsing through the files I discovered that those were
all recent reports. Most of them at least. Things to write… things to file off…
AND IT’S DELETING TIME!
Ech… I
wish. They’d just give me another one of these disks and it’s back to work. I
think I’ll just delete one one with the Mavericks attacking a hot dog stand. I
think I wrote a report similar to that the last time. Okay, perhaps the one
about the attack in a music store. DELETE!
Hoo
yeeeeeeah! Watch them disappear! That’s what I love about spring cleaning! It’s
almost as refreshing as smoking! I’m only working on the stuff about the report
where the earth almost became destroyed by some huge secret weapon that was
created and had to be destroyed by us. Say… wasn’t there another similar report
like this somewhe
Hmph… I
shouldn’t allow myself to get so cocky over these reports. I always have to
reflect all those who fought along with us that lost their lives. I pay a lot
of respect of those who died while fighting. Like good old Dark. He was a good
fighter but didn’t last too long. I remember how I grieved on that day when he
died.
(Small
flashback)
Dark:
They’re closing in on me! Arrrrgh… They got me!!! I’m dyiiiing……..
X: Oh my
god, they killed Dark! *Points at Mavericks* You bastards!
Uh-huh…
don’t you dare laugh… Knock it off! I bet we all saw this coming anyhow! Okay…
so I don’t seem to take my fighting life as serious as I used to. Why should I?
It’s always the same: We kill Sigma. He comes back alive. We kill him again.
Same thing happens what I mentioned. Then same thing happens on the other thing
I mention. Etc, etc, etc…
Maverick Hunters didn’t kill at the end and I’ll show you what market product
isn’t on sale yet. Aw well, I’ve gotten used to it. Kinda.
I took a
final puff from my smoke and jammed it into my astray like I always do. I’ll
think I’ll go log out before I light up another one. I don’t have to work today
or tomorrow. I’ll slack off the whole day today unless there’ll be another one
of these dumb emergencies going on again.
“What a
night…”
Oh crap!
Axl’s awake!? I spun around, wondering what’s going to happen next. Not really
what I expected to happen. Axl just sat up and rubbed his eyes, facing me with
a tired yet also cheerful look.
“Good
morning! That was some fun last night, huh?”
“F-fun?”
“Don’t you
remember?” Axl blinked, confusion in his eyes. “You know, we… together.”
“So you
remember it.” I was impressed that he didn’t look frightened at all. “I was
almost afraid that you’d wake up and wonder why you’re naked.”
“What? No,
I remember… You didn’t even seemed to mind.” He blushed slightly. “Would that
mean…?”
“AH!”
Something struck me. “Now I remember what the news were that I wanted to give
you!”
“You won
the lottery…?” He muttered tiredly.
“I wish. I
still not done with my old work. I’m nothing but some slave driver around this
place!” I flopped myself onto my bed next to Axl after I said that.
“A very
sexy slave driver at that.” Axl added.
“Livin’ the
time, baby. YEAH!” I said in an Austin Powers voice. “I mean: How true, how
true.”
Axl let out
a brief chuckle. “You are really acting strange. It’s almost amusing… So, what
is it that you remembered exactly?”
“I’m
supposed to test you of what you have learned so far. That was Signas order at
least.” Then I began doing a lousy Pokemon slogan. “So you wanna be a Maverick
Hunter!? Do you got the skills to be number one!?”
“Huh?”
“Nothing…
If you really want to be a Maverick Hunter so badly then you gotta show your
knowledge.” I held up a piece of paper and pencil. “I’ll be asking questions
and mark the points you get at each right answer.”
“Bring it
on!” Axl said as I stood from my bed and began to put his armor back on.
“’Kay, I’ll
be reading out the questions one by one and you have only one second to answer
them. If it takes longer than a second then I’m forced to take points off.”
“I can
handle it!” He sounded very confident.
“Then let’s
begin. Question one: What is the Maverick, Helmhead, main weak point?”
“It’s
face!” Axl answered in a quickily without hesitant.
“Not bad.
Next question…”
It went on
for about five minutes and I eventually came to the end. I was reading out loud
pretty fast.
“What do
you do when a Maverick attacks from behind and uses it’s special element?”
“Defend and
use the element that I posses!” He answered quickly, not wasting a second.
“Good! Now,
what do you do when you see someone dancing around on the roof, wearing a
Scream mask!?”
“I shoot
him! … Oh wait…” Axl hung his head down with disappointment. “Crud…”
“Hmm… Well,
I did the same thing so I’ll let it go.”
“All
right!”
“I made the
last one up anyhow…”
“So what’s
my final score?”
“Not bad at
all.” I said as I looked through it. “Yes, I think Signas is going to be
pleased. I sure hope he’ll leave me alone…”
“I see.
You’re not in the mood to come face to him, are you?”
“Why should
I? He only wants me to do work!” I let out a small grunt. “I think I’d rather
go back to the Maverick hunt to reduce stress.”
“Any way I
can help to reduce your stress?” Axl suddenly moved towards me and ran his
tongue through my lips again like he did last night.
At first I
became startled again but then I grew amused. Perhaps I’ll be able to add
another checkmark for Axl before noon. I leaned forward to go along with his
teasing but then I immediately pulled back when I suddenly sensed something
horribly wrong.
Heartbeats…
I was sensing my heart racing fast as if there was a reason. No way! I never
really get that unless I have feelings for someone… Feelings? Oh my fucking
god! I’m not falling in love with Axl, am I!? I so fucking hope not! Ever since
I broke up with Alia I had sworn to myself that I’ll never fall in love again!
If I had sex or kiss someone then it only be because of my own amusement but I
can’t afford to fall in love! Not that I think I ever really was in love. I hit
on a few girls… had a few one night stands… Alia was the only one who I had the
longest relationship with. I swore myself never to go into another love
relationship with no one after that.
Axl, who
was staring at me with bewilderment as I was making different facial
expressions while thinking, didn’t seem to know what was wrong with me. I
glanced back at him and shook my head. Naw… I doubt I’m in love. I think my
body was just trying to play tricks with me. Axl is just in my game list. I
ain’t going into another love relationship.
“What are
you thinking about?”
Before I
could answer, there was a knock on the door making me sorta wonder who that’ll
be this early in the morning. I stood up and went over to open the door,
realzing that once again I had forgotten to lock the door last night!!! But I
don’t think anyone came barging in last night. I guess I have more luck than
Alia has about these unlocked doors.
When I
opened the door I was in a slight confusion when I saw who it was. It was the
big guy who loves to think of himself as my boss. Signas… and he looks like he
has something ‘important’ to say. Don’t worry, he’s not on my list.
“Good
morning, X… Oh, I see Axl is here too. Did you give him the test?”
“Just
recently, yeah.” I murmured. “What brings you here?”
“I don’t
want to you you uncomfortable but I musk yok you to go to Lifesavers office
for a check up.”
“What for?”
I groaned.
“It’s
nothing serious, is it?” Axl asked, sounding concerned.
“We don’t
know…” Signas answered slowly. “That’s why he needs to get himself analysed.
Many have been spreading rumors around that X is acting very strangely. We must
check to make sure if it’s not a Maverick detection in you…”
“Naw,
wouldn’t worry.” I said simply. “I’ve been kinda dirty at the very beginning. I
suppose I’m not afraid to show it. Not like it really is much of a biggie.”
“Pardon?”
“I said
nothing.” I slowly began to move toward the door. “I’m going to Lifesaver to
make sure I’m okay. See ya some other time, Axl.”
Haaa… I can
already imagine my results. It might not too pretty.
(Time
passes, yadyadyadaya…)
“Hmmmmmm…..”
I watched Lifesaver from the distance as he looked very thoughtat mat my
analysing results. “Hmm-hmm-hmmmmmm…….. Strange.”
“What?” I
finally felt some suspense rise up in me. “Did you detect anything?”
“No…” He
put down the results slowly. “There is no Maverick detection in you whatsoever.
That’s what I find so strange because the attitude that you’ve picked up has
gotten some of your comrades very uneasy.”
“Aw, they
just want me to act like a wuss. That’s all there is to it.”
“Excuse
me?”
“I broke up
with Alia, okay?”
“Oh… so
that’s the reason.” He shrugged his shoulders. “I’ve heard about the rumors
that you two broke up. I suppose that is a decent enough of an excuse on being
so upset.”
“…Right…”
“Right!” I
nodded my head, eager to get out. “I don’t think I need to stay here any longer
so I’ll just be on my merry way!”
“Just a
minute,” Lifesaver suddenly made himself look important. “Before you go, I
think I should give you a piece of advice. You shouldn’t let some break-up
change you like that. I recommend you take some of the days off and enjoy
yourself. Hang out with some friends. Go out on some fast food joints. Do
something you really love. You’ll see that things will be much better then.”
Hmm… Lifesaver
obviously doesn’t know that the personality I have right now is what I secretly
had for a long time now. I’m just not afraid to hide it anymore. Funny how that
makes others think I’m going Maverick.
“I
appreciate your concern but I think I don’t have to bother changing back into
some innocent wim-”
“You do as
I say!” Lifesaver suddenly raised his voice. “I’m getting tired of everyone
shrugging my suggestions off and go around doing what they want! You go and
become your old self NOW! I’m tired of others coming in and telling how weird
you’re acting and that I should take a look at you, and all that other stuff! I
really don’t want to hear about this anymore so go out and relax already!”
“Geez…” I
muttered under my breath. “How come everyone is such a bitch lately…?”
“WHAT!?”
Lifesaver whirled around, facing me as soon as I said that. I tried not to grin
nervously.
“I said;
How come everywhere on me has to itch lately?”
Saying that, I scratched my left cheek to make it seem a little
convincing.
“Oh, okay.”
Lifesaver turned around again and resumed his work. I can’t believe he bought
that.
Not in my
better moods, I left Livesaver’s office. This is not really my idea of a good
time on my day off. I think I prefer if someone hits the emergency signal so I
can go and kill something. My urge of killing something increased when I saw
Alia and Gate walking together arm-in-arm from a short distance. They didn’t
see me yet so I hid myself from the side corner where they weren’t coming
toward to.
“What do
you want to do tonight, hmmm?” I heard Gate’s voice getting all sickly
seducing-like.
“Oh Gate,
must you ask? I know you know what I want.”
That’s all
I needed to hear to allow myself to let out a steam. My face became bright red
with the great urge to bite something. Or someone for the matter. I need to
kill SOMETHING soon! It’s driving me mad! I could just go up there and…
killlllll………
“Yo
“ACK!” I
jumped slightly when someone suddenly placed a hand on my shoulder from behind.
I grew even more pissed and whirled around. “All right! Whoever wants to mess
with me can… Zero?”
“You’re
still not thinking about her, are you?” He asked unexpectedly, looking kinda
upset.
“Wha… You
mean Alia? Hell no! I don’t want nothing to do with her anymore!”
He lowered
his head slighly. “If that’s so then why did you just looked so… jealous?”
“Eh?
Jealous? I was NOT jealous!” I had to blink a bit when I noticed Axl next to
Zero. “You two going somewhere?”
“We planned
to come over to Lifesaver’s office to check on you. I told Zero about it.” He
replied. “What was the result?”
“Negative.”
I shrugged. “As in, I’m a-okay.”
“That’s
good to hear.” Axl said, looking a bit relieved.
“I suppose
I’m marked insane anyway.” I added. “I wouldn’t know how to define myself. A
weirdo, a bitch, or my most favorite word of all time: Devious (My favorite too
^_^)… any one of those.”
My two
friends looked at each other with more confusion after I said that. Heh
heh heh… I did it again. I say
the darnest things, don’t I?
“Has he
always been like this?” I heard Axl whisper to Zero.
“Not since
recently.” Zero whispered back.
“Anyways…!”
I said loudly. “I’ve got no time to get angry over little things!”
“Such as…?”
Axl let out a bad example that killed me. “Watching Gate going out with your
ex?”
I tried not
to flinch or make a gagging noise. To make it worse, Zero joined in.
“I saw them
recently outside. She was feeding Gate’s mouth.”
It felt
like a dagger just stabbed me. She used to do that with ME! Damn it! I’m not
going to get excited about this anymore!
“Didn’t
they just say they’ve got plans for tonight?”
For the
love of… Are they doing this on PURPOSE!?
“And what
about the fact…” Axl stopped when Zero nudged him.
“Shhh… I
think that’s enough.”
Then they
just stood there and stared at my reaction. My face was pretty much burning and
I know I had a real pissed look on my face, twitching my fingers. Sort of the
kind that gives the urge to kick something or someone. I think I was breathing
loud too. Like some mad bull for instance. Damn it! I swear to god that I’m not
jealous! It looks like they did as a test to see how I’d react. What the hell
for?
“So deep
down you still get very jealous when you see them.” Zero said almost sounding
disappointed.
“I am NOT
jealous!” X growled while giving him a nasty look. “I’m just upset! Out of all
relationships I’ve had, Alia was the one who I had a relationship with the
longest!”
“Soooo… How
many relationships did you have in your life?”
Why do they
seem so interested in that? Why the hell should anyone care how many
relationships I had!? It’s not like I really care myself!
“Who
cares!” I blurted out loud. “I don’t even think I cared about any of the girls
I’ve been with except Alia… until of course I caught her cheating on me! She
turned out to be like the rest of them! I’ve had it with girls!”
The was a
long pause between us. It lasted about five seconds. Long enough for me.
“I hope you
two are happy now!” I began roughly. “Both of you have succeeded in making me
mad and remembering the things I wanted to forget! Now I can forget about all
the things I planned today on my day off and sulk! I’ll just do all my work now
and get it over with it! Even the one about the hot dog stand… Oh wait, I
deleted that… Well, I’ll work on whatever I still got on the disk!”
“Uh… Did we
do something wrong?” Axl seemed to act clueless on purpose.
“Geez X!
Chill out, will ya!? You don’t have to make such a big deal out of it! What’s
up with you lately anyway?”
“I thought
you might have known…” I said in a mocking tone. “Not like anyone can expect me
to even consider that I should act like my old self! I’m through with that as
well I am with girls!” And I don’t like breast anyhow.
“Then what
is it exactly that you really want!?”
Zero’s
question caused me to freeze. What do I really want? Now that I think about it,
I’m not sure what it is that I REALLY want. Sure I want beer and sex, all that
other stuff but it isn’t really a goal or anything. I wouldn’t know… I wouldn’t
even know if I were content or happy at anything that I could think of at the
moment. Pfffph! I’m not going to let my brain explode over that. If I do then
I’d just be acting like my old self again and that’s the least I want.
“I don’t
know but I don’t care. Do I have to know?”
“I dunno…”
Axl shook his head and left. Why he just turned around and walked away from us,
I don’t know. He must have gotten bored.
“If you’d
ever make up with her,” Zero started suddenly. “Would you want to try it again
with her?”
“Wha… NO!”
I almost hesitated there. “Why the hell should I!? So I can come in her room
uninvited and catch her cheating on me again!? I’d much rather not!”
“Okay…” He
sighed, seeming relieved. “I’m glad that’s over with.”
I raised an
eyebrow. What was that all about? Zero left me standing there to ponder about
it. Of course, in case you think I’m THAT clueless then you’re wrong. Yes, I
have considered the fact that Zero might have a crush on me! And yes, I’ve
considered the same thing on Axl as well! The thing is… I don’t want to accept
it! I don’t even want to believe it! Every time I do, I just shrug it off.
Why?
Because I already had enough bad experience with relationships as you all know!
Love… I don’t know if any of the girls I’ve been dating or fucking with even
knew what love was about. Or if I had known even though, as much as I hate to admit,
I felt something for Alia because she was different. Or at least that’s what I
have thought. All my fantasises has disappeared just like that after I caught
her screwing with Gate. How would I know the same won’t happen again if I’d go
out with Zero or Axl? Sure I trust them. Sure I could fall in love with ‘em
with the fact that I’m bisexual. Sure I like hanging around with them but let’s
just face the fact. Those are the same thoughts that I had for Alia before Gate
stepped in. How would I know that Zero or Axl would drop their own masks and do
the same thing that Alia did?
I don’t
believe they’d do that but I really don’t want to take the chance and go though
this again. I’ve first trusted her and now I hate her. I don’t want to end up
hating my friends because I’ve gotten into a stupid relationship with them! I
really don’t want to take the chance!
…. Holy
crap! Once again I sounded like my old self! It’s almost like a curse being
around those two! It’s getting veeeeery frustrating and it’s not even funny!
Feh, I don’t even give a damn on relationships anyhow! All I want out of it is
sex! And I still have a game to finish playing.
Back in my
room, I felt a strange urge to get something done but wasn’t in my best mood to
use the computer now. I took time to clean up my room a bit before getting to
my other work. I took out all my playboy magazines hidden underneath bed and
stacked them up somewhere. Hey… so that’s where my old 2pac CD went! Talk about
cleaning up more often… Hmph! I feel stressed! I’ll smoke another… No, I’m more
thirsty. I’ll have a drink instead.
I went to
my refrigerator afterwards and opened it to see what I got in there. Not much…
A few packs of beer, some soda pop… I haven’t open some of them. I took one of
my beer can and opened it, gulping it all down without pausing or taking a
breath.
“Burp! I
needed that…”
I REALLY be
needing a lot! Even on my free time I can’t relax so I’ll just work on my file
reports and get them over with like I mentioned before. What I’d do after that,
you ask? Sheesh… does anyone really care? I got nothing special in my to-do
list. I should take a break on my game for now. No check mark for anyone today.
(Many hours
later)
Can you
believe it? How many reports do they expect me to do!? I feel kinda better now
because I’m so ahead of my work that I can pretty much do everything for a few
days but I wouldn’t know what to do. Ever since Zero threw me that annoying
question to me about what I really want, I’ve been getting a few distracting
thoughts in my mind. Not like I would really want anything… or do I? If I did
want something then I wouldn’t know at the moment.
I refuse to
think anymore! I’ve been working like a dog past these many hours and, before
you even know it, it’s ten p.m.! I have closed the lid on my capsule after
lying myself down in there, feeling as if I were some vampire closing my own
coffin. Feeling alone somewhat, I tried to catch a snooze. Perhaps it’s my mind
that’s keeping me awake. Why’s my mind giving so much thought on something serious.
That’s only what I would do in the past… I blame it on the song I heard
yesterday…
Bah! I’m
making too much of this! I ain’t becoming a bit like my past self again! Just a
little irritated what I saw and heard… My attitude is marked as Maverick, is it
now? Ha! They’d better get used to it! I’m not going through this again…
Minutes
pass and I think somewhere around there I finally dozed off. I wasn’t sure if I
was or wasn’t but I know clearly I heard my door to my room open. I didn’t know
who it was but to my own amusement I kept my eyes closed, pretending to be
asleep while listing to know who that certain someone was up to. I could hear
footsteps making it’s way up to me. I swear, if this is going to be a prank or
something…
motionless when the lid of my capsule opened. I could hear that but I still
pretend to be asleep. If I feel someone drawing my face with a marker for a
tease then I’m definitely not going to accept mercy! I dunno what was going on.
Things remained rather quiet for some time now but I still felt the presence of
someone standing next to my capsule and staring at me. Meh… bores me. Maybe I
should open my eyes and make sure it’s not someone who wants revenge on
whatever I did.
Two hands
came out of nowhere and rested on my chest. I could feel someone bending him or
herself down toward me. Next thing I knew, someone was kissing me on the lips.
I didn’t really mind. Not like it felt too bad either. And because of that
fact, I nudged my tongue on those lips until I managed to open a gap. Our
tongues danced around, moving it deeper at each touch. When my tip connected
the other, I simply slit it upward and lowered it inside, almost forcing it
down the throat.
There was a
muffled gasp and I felt the person moving away from me. At that point I
immediately sat up and almost nodded my head with amusement. There he stood
right before me, blushing and covering his mouth with one hand as if I had
started all this.
“Yo PrinCharCharming!” I snorted. “You’re in the wrong room! Sleeping Beauty’s room is one
up!”
“S-sorry
about that… I just…”
How cute. I
don’t get the chance of seeing Zero all flustered and embarrassed like right
now. Perhaps this is the first time. Makes me wanna get all horny again… Erm, I
mean…
“It might
not be that late but I’d like to know why’d you came into my room at this
time.”
“Oh… yeah!
I remember why!” He still seems a little nervous. “I wanted to know if you’d
like go out for a drink?”
“Naw…” I
murmured slowly. “I usually never really say no to a drink but I have been
drinking yesterday and… I just don’t feel like doing that on two nights in a
row. I’d probably get a headache.”
“Is that
so?” He looked disappointed. “You don’t want to go anywhere today, huh?”
“Aw, why
not!” I said, getting out from my capsule. “We could go down town or something.
Eat a Pizza or something.”
His face
brightened when I said that. “Great! I have nothing to do tonight so let’s make
the most of it!”
“Meaning?”
He grabbed
my hand and pulled me toward the door leading out.
“You’ll get
the idea.”
I could
have sworn my heart almost racing. I have to be very careful… I can’t allow
myself fall in love with him no matter what reason.
(Another
hour later)
“How did I
let myself get talked into going into this human Bar?”
I took a
sip out of my glass. Zero frowned slightly as he took a sip on his own
glass.
mal>“It was YOU
who suddenly said, ‘Hey, a Bar! Let’s go get a drink!’ remember?”
“Oh… yeah…”
I suppose my love for alcohol makes me forget that I had different thoughts
from before. “Then let’s hurry up and drink so we can get out of here!”
“What’s
your hurry?”
“No hurry.”
I drank up everything from my glass and banged it down onto the table with
heavy force. “I just want to go and buy myself another pack of cigarettes! I
pretty much smoked everything up while working on my computer.”
He didn’t
say anything. He threw me a look that I couldn’t describe. I shrugged my
shoulders and let them drop.
“Are you
thinking about something that I should know?”
“I’m just
thinking…” He groaned slightly. “Your new personality seems to shock
everybody.”
“It ain’t
that new.”
“It seems
new but to be honest I had a feeling that you weren’t really who you seemed to
be for some time.” He slowly admitted.
“R-really?”
I was a little doubtful. “How so?”
“I know
about the roof incident for one thing.”
“The roof
incident? What a minute! You don’t mean…”
He nodded.
“You probably didn’t know but I was nearby where you were. You just haven’t
noticed me. I think that the first instinc sho shooting something
strange-looking isn’t the brightest move.”
“Aw, come
on!” I grunted out loud. “What kind of retard would go wearing a Scream mask
while dancing on top of a roof anyway?”
Zero
crossed his arms and looked rather disturbed.
“It would
help the fact that it was Halloween at that time.”
“…” I froze
before gritting my teeth and sinking my head down low with embarrassment. “Shit
happens…”
“Every
single fucking day.” Zero finished off for me.
(You
remember the conversation we made about this, Ran?)
“Okay! So
you saw me doing something stupid but how does that prove I was secretly
someone different!?”
“I stuck
around long enough to see you realizing your mistake and that’s when you were
cussing around. I was rather surprised.”
Oh yes… I
did swear out loud, didn’t I? Now what was it that I said…? I think it was
‘Holy crap! That wasn’t a fucking Maverick! God damn SHIT! I screwed again!’
Eh heh…
that sums up about everything…
“Let’s
change the subject.” I said, sighing.
“Sure. What
are your plans for tomorrow?”
“Dunno.
Perhaps I’ll go and get drunk or something.”
“Is that
all? Is smoking and drinking the only thing you care about?”
He left out
sex.
don’t think so. But if you already were aware about me then how come you were
still hanging around with me?”
“Because…”
He seemed ready to answer but he stopped himself shortly.
“Never
mind…” Why am I feeling oddly depressed? I can’t really think of a reason why I
ld bld be. I gotta try to get myself into another mood.
“I’ll think
I’ll order another drink!”
(Thirty
minutes later…)
“I like the
way you do that right thurr! Switch your hips when you’re walking, let down
your hurr.”
“Sounds
catchy.” Zero remarked.
“Yeeeeeah…”
I’m not really all tdrundrunk but I feel rather hyper. “Where do you wanna go
next?”
“I don’t
care. Anywhere will do.”
Observing
carefully, you’ll notice Zero’s drunk. Not fully drunk but I doubt he can think

should hate you… budon’don’t… Not even close to that…”
Stop beating so fast! He’ll hear it! Awww… shit… I’m really screwed now. Perhaps
