Hello everyone! I just got past this part in the game and had to write something about it. This might even become a two-shot if I see Crow again. NO SPOILERS! But yeah, I already know Crow is a robot, I mean it's kinda obvious. Anyway, here we go! Make sure to review!
"Huh, another flunk eh..."
The boy dressed in blood-red clothes with trinkets decorating him sat back in denial. His short black hair waved in front of his eyes, messing up his always-perfect vision.
The blue moon was far up above his head in the clouds, and as he looked at it he scowled. Vibrant colors danced around the slit-like moon, making the sky feel rather alive.
The boy only shook his head. Alive was something he'd never felt. He never felt happiness. He never felt sad. He never felt worried. He never felt content. All he knew was he had to find where he had come from.
Gathering to his feet, the boy who called himself Crow began walking back to the main entrance of the Fun Park. Tall overgrown weeds reaches up to his thighs as he trudged through them. While he could easily hop through the shrubbery, he decided to walk instead. After all, it wasn't like he was in a hurry or anything.
A sharp and menacing growl pierced the quiet air, making the calm night suddenly not so peaceful. Crow calmly turned his head to see a giant dog, it's beady yellow eyes focused on Crow's throat.
"My, my, you're quite a dumb thing!" Crow said mockingly to the beast. "I'll have you know I cut down your brothers and sisters just for the fun of it all! You'd have to be the biggest idiot in the world to fight me!"
The dog charged at the young boy, it's large jaws gaping for the promise of food. It reached the boy, who didn't react, and bit down hard onto his leather boot covering his leg.
Crow didn't even so much as move a muscle as the dog attempted at ripping him to shreds. He knew it couldn't do it. "Wow. You are dumb." He said; placing his gloved hands into his hips in annoyance. "I guess I'll wait until you're finished gnawing me, huh? Then I can play with you..."
The starving creature quickly bit down harder, but nothing happened. So it tried again. No change. It looked up at its prey, and Crow smirked.
"Now, say bye-bye." Crow then grabbed the creature's neck with lighting speed and strangled the thing ruthlessly. It had been barely a minute before Crow let the corpse of his "foe" down onto the ground with a THUD.
"Hm, not even a challenge." Crow said to himself before spitting onto the ground, inches away from its face. "That's another I don't feel, pain!"
Throwing his tousled hair away from his eyes, Crow began once again walking back to the main entrance of the Fun Park.
It wasn't long before he reached the abandoned square of the Fun Park. Humans used to come here from all over to well, have fun. Crow thought to himself, stupid humans...
"H-huh...?!"
Crow quickly super-jumped away onto the ceiling on the entrance. "There's something here..." He mumbles to himself, keeping his usually loud voice low. He quickly cartwheeled across the ceiling and heard the thing talk again. It's words where too far away for him to hear however.
Crow stopped in a nook of the wall and stared down at the mysterious thing. He quickly analyzed it, and gasped. "Human..." He said to himself unhappily, "What is it doing here...?"
Crow leaped from his perch and landed on the statue of the stupid looking animal. "Well well, what do we have here? Tell me, what are you doing in a place like this?" He asked the human boy, who was looking quite shocked.
"H-huh?!" The boy exclaimed, "W-Who are you?!"
Crow slowly got himself into a handstand and then flipped himself over to face the young human. "C'mon! Didn't your mom teach you any manners?! You first!"
Crow stuck his head as close as he could to the youth, an annoyed expression on his face. The boy shook his brown shaggy head as he talked, waving his hair all around, "M-My name? It's Seto..."
"Seto, huh?" Crow repeated as he began cartwheeling away. "And what kinda name is that?! You can call me Crow! C-R-O-W!"
"Uh, sure, Crow..." The youth named Seto said slowly, his voice unsure of himself.
As he talked, Crow felt something weird. A small burst of...something happened to him. He had never felt this before...in fact he never felt anything until now. "Don't act like we are friends!" He snapped coldly to him, afraid of the weird signals going to his motherboard. He didn't mean to snap though, but he made sure to not show Seto that.
"What? But..." Seto couldn't get any words out of his mouth. The boy in front of him was anything but normal, but he was still strangely attracted to him.
"I said don't act like you know me!" Crow snapped again, still extremely puzzled by the mix of things going on in his system. He got in Seto's face again and continued talking, "Listen up, I am the one who is gonna ask all the questions, you just answer! Is that clear?!"
"Mm...yes." Seto said, nodding.
Crow began bombarding the boy with questions. His final one was the only one he truly cared about though. "So, you're a human..."
After hearing Seto's answer, which was a yes, Crow grabbed a locket from around Seto's neck. He then leapt up onto the statue, waving it around. "Want it?!"
"GIVE IT BACK!" Seto screamed.
"Catch me first!" Crow hollered before jumping away. "That should get me some time to clear my head..." He whispered to himself.
Crow dangled his legs off of the Ferris wheel, impatience bubbling inside of him. The weird signals in his brain were something like...well, feelings he guessed. He never had felt anything like this before. His mechanical heart had began beating so fast when he had talked to Seto, and he didn't know why...
"There you are! Give me my locket!" Seto yelled from down below him, his face full of anger. "I'm done racing after you!"
"Come up and get it!" Crow said, waving the skull-necklace around. "Or are you too lame to get it?!"
Seto scowled and without another word began scaling the Ferris wheel. "I-I went up on the Roller Coaster, so I can easily do this!"
Crow know knew his fun of messing with the young human was almost up. That didn't stop him though. "Come on! Come a-"
Crow put out his leg to take another step, but instead of rusty metal under his foot, there was only air. In a mere second, Crow was falling right through the air, no way to stop himself. He quickly flung the skull necklace back to its rightful owner.
Seto caught it, but his eyes were kept in shock. "CROW! NO!"
The black haired boy just kept smiling as he fell. He knew he'd be okay. Seto didn't of course, but he would know soon. With a giant BANG he crashed right through the carrousel's roof and right into a metal horse.
As usual, he felt the same. No pain.
"CROW!" Seto screamed at the top of his lungs and ran to the other boy. "CROW! Please be alright! You have to be okay!"
Crow didn't say anything. Why did he feel this way? Why did he want to feel pain? Why did he want to feel the things petty humans felt?! They were just sacks of meat that had mental thoughts...and he wanted to feel them so much...
Seto then began crying. And that was the sign to stop pretending do be dead.
"Hey! Stop crying! I'll have you know I never cried a day in my life!" Crow yelled as he rubbed his head. That was indeed true. Except he couldn't actually cry. He had tried countless times, but failed every time.
And it made him even more jealous of humans.
"Keep it safe in your locket, okay?" Crow said as he gave his newly-found friend his skull-shaped ring.
Seto nodded, "I will. Tha-"
Before he could finish, Crow had leaned in and kissed Seto's warm lips. Humans were so warm, while Crow had never really felt warm...
As he continued kissing his new friend's lips, the seconds seemed to go by slowly. Even though Seto didn't kiss back, Crow didn't care and continued his kiss.
Once eight seconds of lip-locking had passed, Seto fell backwards in shock. He held his hand over his mouth, his eyes wide. "W-what the-?! Did you just...?! Did I just...?! What was that?!"
"What's wrong? We're friends now! And friends give each other kisses! Right? I, uh, read that!" Crow said, looking away smiling as he said the last part.
"B-But that was my first kiss ever!" Seto said quickly, his entire body shaking and cheeks flushed red.
"Oh. Huh...Well, I guess that makes me your number one buddy! Best friends, right?" The black haired boy held his hand out for Seto, who took it.
"M-my best friend..." Seto repeated in disbelief. "...Yeah! Best friends!"
Crow smiled and pulled his new friend up to his feet. "You bet."
Crow watched his best friend leave from up on top of the rotted fence. His new friend gone.
The boy put his gloved hand onto his lips and kept his cold fingers on them. That boy, Seto, was so nice. He made Crow feel feelings. Feelings he'd never felt before.
"One day we'll meet again...my best friend..."
