Tyler caressed Mavis's face as he kissed every freckle on her cheeks and nose, and placing a final one on her lips, which made her blush. He stared intently into her eyes. The pair were laying in bed together, as they'd made a habit of napping together after Mavis finished ballet practice. Though, sometimes those nap sessions would be make out sessions. "We've been together...a month now?" Tyler said, smiling widely. Mavis smiled back and snuggled up to him, burying her face in his chest, feeling the soft fabric of his t-shirt against his skin and taking in the smell of vanilla fabric softener and lemon soap. Tyler was probably the nicest smelling boy she'd ever known. She loved how clean he was. She gave out a small giggle. He was sensory heaven for her. He was soft, smelled nice, and always said encouraging things to her.
Ever since Tyler had professed his love in the arena on Mars, he'd been visibly happier. He couldn't seem to let go of Mavis, and being around her could instantly improve his mood at least thirty percent.
"I know...it feels like just yesterday I was crushing on you from afar..." She giggled a bit.
Tyler gave her a small, sappy smile, as he snuggled closer, wrapping his long arms around her small body. He stroked her hair and gave her a kiss on the forehead. He then trailed kisses down her face, eventually landing on her lips, and then giving a few more vaguely desperate kisses. His tongue soon found its way into her mouth, as he gave off a soft moan. Tyler was very careful not to be too noisy when kissing her, so his mom wouldn't know they were in his room making out. Mavis put her hands on his chest, gently tracing the scar on his right pectoral, slowly moving her fingers to his arm.
Tyler shivered, it still hurt, but he liked it. Mavis tugged his shirt, eventually pulling it off. He was now shirtless, as he'd taken off that first layer after getting in bed. She gently put her lips on his scar, kissing it. Tyler shivered again, since the sensation gave him such a weird feeling. He wrapped his arms around Mavis tighter. He laid his face in her soft, red curls.
Bruno camped out in Cornbury, since, after his humiliating defeat in the arena, he was too embarrassed to show his face to even his sister. Sure, Scarlet would probably let him in, she had to. But nonetheless, he still stayed out in the Cornbury woods. He ate a twig, whilst sitting on a log.
"I'll survive. I am Prince Bürunarkus Ren Miltiades! I can still rule the Earth! I-I can still..." He took another bite of twig. "I-I...I'M A GLORPDAMN FAILURE!" He yelled, to himself. A spider crawled over, and Bruno screamed, and fell of the log with a thud. And his twig got caught in his matted hair, that was tangled and messed up from being out in the wilderness for a whole month. "EVEN THIS EARTH LAND CRAB CAN BE MORE FEARSOME THAN I! WHY MUST I FAIL SO BADLY! I AM BUT A PATHETIC DOORKNOB!" Bruno screamed more, and activated his battle ball, summoning his laser sword and slicing the log into a million pieces, in a temper tantrum. He screamed more, as he sliced into some more trees.
When he finally calmed down, he panted loudly, and deactivated his ball, and sitting on the ground, and then crying like a small child that was told they couldn't have a pony. Herman his fingers through his matted, tangled, greasy hair, wishing so desperately to shower, so he could condition his glorious black mane. He cried more. He was so sweaty and he hated it. Curse the warm earth.
When he would become ruler, he swore to himself, to find a way to make the earth colder.
The next day at school, Mavis and Tyler walked over to the other 4 noobs, hand in hand, when meeting them in the lunch room. The other noobs were happy that Mavis and Tyler finally admitted their love for one another, but still found their kissing to be a little...awkward...however, Yolanda and Shope, and Scarlet and Kevin, were too busy making out, that the only noobs that could have been paying attention to Mavis and Tyler kissing was Roach, who kinda wished he had a girlfriend too.
"Professor" Zero walked over, and whacked his yardstick on the table.
"Mr. Bowman! Take your lips off of my daughter, right this instant!" He shouted, not even paying attention to the other two couples making out.
Tyler panicked and pulled away from Mavis. Although Tyler wished he could fight Mavis's father once and for all, he couldn't. He had running away powers. Mavis's father appeared to be ripped. Tyler knew, even with his battle ball, he couldn't take this man on and survive. So instead, he used his wit. "Well sir, I just saw my friends doing the same, and figured I had a right to join in on the fun. Don't you have a "coworker" to be doing? Or are you too busy paying for her breast implants to have time to spend with her." Tyler narrowed his eyes.
"Professor" Zero went red in the face with either anger or embarrassment that a fifteen year old boy completely owned him with wit. "MR. BOWMAN! I WILL HAVE YOU KNOW I AM MARRIED AND I AM NOT HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH ANOTHER TEACHER, HOW DARE YOU EVEN IMPLY SUCH A THING!" "Professor" Zero yelled, although he was lying, since Tyler was right about the affair thing.
"Oh, right, Mavis's mother...tell Mrs. Zero's flask I said hi." Tyler said, smirking. He could admit, that usually he wouldn't say rude things, as he disliked rudeness, but something about saying things about Mavis's abusive parents was so exhilarating. Tyler laughed.
"Professor" Zero was so embarrassed, he just stomped away without even punishing Tyler.
Mavis smiled widely at Tyler, who gave her a kiss in response.
Caden, Mavis's older brother, walked over. He was surprisingly sober, as he'd tried his best to clean up his weed smoking act in the past year. "Mavis, I saw what your boyfriend said to dad." Caden sat down. Despite being sober, you'd have thought he'd look healthier, but of course, something still looked off about him. He looked more tired, and maybe almost like he had an air of sadness to him. He was laughing, but his emerald green eyes showed anything but happiness. Mavis, knowing what it feels like to he secretly miserable, wanted to intervene, but she didn't want to pry, so she saved all questions for another, more appropriate time. Caden stopped laughing, and awkwardly shuffled away, to rejoin his table, which was the one the Cornbury High School football team sat at. They weren't really his "friends" per se, but he was part of the team, and other than his girlfriend, Mary Jane Anderson, he didn't have any other "friends", so the football team was as close as he could get to a social group. It beat eating lunch completely alone.
Mavis and Tyler continued with their kissing until lunch ended, when they part ways. Tyler had plans for a surprise after school for Mavis, for their one month anniversary, and he eagerly waited until school was over, since it was one of those lucky days with no training, AND Mavis didn't have ballet practice. All he needed was for the last bell of the day to ring, and then he'd surprise Mavis with a special picnic in the park. He loved spending time with her, and he just couldn't wait.
