Asch had told his replica to meet him in the central area of the city at noon. As usual, he had barked most if his demand to meet and before Luke could say anything more, Asch had broken the connection. He didn't feel the need to explain himself to the Dreck and felt his replica should meet him whenever he said so. Asch had used the excuse that he needed to talk to Luke about something, but in reality it was more to see the idiot than anything. Not that Asch would ever admit it.
He had been watching and following his replica for some time now, making sure he was kept out of danger. This meant running into Luke more. He had denied Luke's offer to join together as a team simply because he didn't feel like admitting to himself that he had developed some feelings for his own replica.
"... Tch..."
Asch nearly cursed himself as he stood waiting at the very center of town for the Dreck to show up. He crossed his arms as his scowl formed more obviously on his face.
It was nearly an hour before noon and yet Asch hoped the idiot might show up sooner. He had told Luke to come alone, not wanting to deal with the others Luke had in his company.
The slowly passing hour seemed to take forever. Asch felt more impatient by the second as he continued standing there in the same place he had started. He sighed with annoyance as it was a few moments after noon now. Just as he was about to connect to Luke to scold him for being even a minute late, he saw the short red hair of his replica come into view. However, Luke was walking down the adjacent street in front of Asch and not turning to walk down the street that would lead right to him.
Asch was about to yell at the Dreck for this, but stopped when he saw Anise grab Luke's arm. Everyone else seemed to come into view as they all didn't notice the mad looking god general just a few feet away. He watched on as they all smiled like they were having such a good time, his replica most of all.
Asch felt a scorned emotion as they all left his view, including Luke. He continued to stand for only a few minutes more before he turned and walked off. Luke clearly forget him and that wasn't forgivable.
As he walked towards the town exit, Asch cursed himself for this.
