Echidna
sighed heavily as she stirred her cup of the latest invention by the
doctor - at least, that's what it looked like. It was supposed to be
a cup of tea, Charden had proclaimed, but somehow he had managed to
accidentally put some Tao-influenced expired milk and the batch of
Kyoko's latest kitchen disaster (which involved some mud and fur
clippings off her pink teddy bear). Echidna had to be polite, though
(after all, Charden really had tried) - it was just that no one
except her and the doctor could actually cook, and the doctor kept
getting his experiments confused with the dinner. Echidna could have
sworn that she had seen an eyeball in the last lunch he made.
"You,
see I wish that Creed could be straight, or even bi, but nooooo, he
has to be gay, doesn't he?' echidna said sadly.
"Well, you
don't know that." Charden offered, trying to be
comforting.
Echidna gave him a look.
"Ok, well, maybe all the Apostles know that he's gay, but that still doesn't mean he can't be bi, does it?'
Echidna sighed yet again. "Well. That's what I thought, but when I asked him what dates he had had when he was a teenager and all, he replied that the only prominent things in his love life were several crushes on people in college. He went to an all-boys college, Charden."
"Oh."
"I can't help it,
it just happened. From when I first met him I knew that we were meant
to be together. That wonderful long, silvery hair that just brushes
his back and those wonderful deep blue eyes, like ice but so
tender..."(Charden rolled his eyes). "And at first I
thought it would be easy. I mean, look at me. I'm the most famous
actress in practically the world. All the men fell over me. You know
just how many fake porn pictures there are of me on the internet? But
I never fell for any of them, only Creed. I just HAD to fall in love
with a gay! RRRRR!" Echidna pounded the table, causing the tea
to spill and burn through the table.
Charden looked at the tea,
jaw dropping. "Is that corrosive?" he asked, shocked.
"Forget
about the table, think of me!" cried Echidna, bursting into
tears in a very passionate and dramatic way, being the actress she
was. Charden rolled his eyes (again), then, remembering that Echidna
was there, tried to look sympathetic - and failed miserably. After
all, he
didn't have a giant crush on some fur-wearing, gay phitophile. In
fact, Charden was very happily straight. And maybe in love.
Echidna looked up, eyes filled with tears, just in time to see Charden rolling his eyes. "Oh, you're no help at all!" she sobbed, and ran out of the room, not looking where she was going. Suddenly she bumped into something very furry yet hard and fell down. After rubbing her eyes, she looked up.
It was Creed, wearing his
most magnificent fur coat and polished boots, staring down at her
with narrowed eyes. Echidna gulped, knowing that her eyes were all
red and her mascara was running.
Crap.
Crap. Crap.
Her
heart beat so loudly that she was sure Creed could hear it. Was her
hair all right? Were her eyes really that bad? Why did she pick this
time to run into him?
Creed spoke in a haughty, condescending
voice. "Echidna, is there something wrong?"
Echidna
thought quickly. What else caused tears besides crying?
"Oh!
I...ummm...was just yawning a lot! Yeah! You know, Uhh, when you yawn
your eyes get watery? Well, I just, uh, yawned a lot! Yeah!"
Creed
stared even harder at her. Echidna felt her face turning red. She had
never been good at improvising. Or lying.
"Oh, well then. Go
on." Creed waved his hand.
Echidna ran to her room as fast as she could, slammed the door behind her, and jumped on her bed, bursting into tears.
Authors note: awwwww, poor echidna...
