Black Pov.
At first I thought those words wouldn't mean anything or lead to anything. I think back to it and realize, if Tepig had never urged me to talk to him then my life would not have been nowhere near the same, we would have never became as close as we are now. For one I wouldn't be sitting here right now in this Ferris Wheel car with him debating my feelings for him.
"N...," I say slowly. He sighs and looks over at me before glancing out the window again, his black eye prominent on his pale complexion. "Never mind."
It didn't seem like the time to ask questions or talk about anything for that matter. Conversation wasn't really important in the friendship we have now. Before yes, we would tell eachother everything or more like me talking and N listening.
But it was okay, because that is what worked for the two of us. I was the talker and N was the listener. However, I knew more than anyone else knew about N. Although, that seems like good news, there are some things I wish I could forget. Well more like, I wish he could forget. Heck! There are things I wished he never had to go through.
He had told me all about his father wanting him to strive for perfection and what he did if N disappointed him. I had met Ghetsis before I had even known that him and N were related. I already had the impression that he was off his rockers but I never thought he was that much of a perfectionist to rape his own son!
I swear when I heard what he had done I wanted to back hand him a couple million times. I mean, who wouldn't do the same! But, I really just wanted N to be happy and never cry again unless those tears were made of pure joy and happiness. I know I can't do that myself, I don't even know if he even likes me like that.
I can't even figure out how I feel about him, much less how he feels for me! If only I could read his mind and just find out what he is thinking. Then I would know what to do with myself.
"Black what are you thinking?" N asks me as our seat in the Ferris Wheel reaches its highest point and he tilts his head in question. He has been pretty quiet since he got his..em black eye, but I guess he is feeling a little better now since he is talking to me.
I smile and twirl my fingers, "Everything, I am thinking about everything." He smiles and raises an eyebrow, "What kind of everything?" I grin and shake my head, "Maybe I'll tell you later..."
He nods and the rest of the ride is silent as our car eventually reaches the bottom of the wheel. Once the door opens we head straight for the woods and he tells me to stop. I already know the routine, I stop while he checks to make sure Ghetesis isn't home and then we can head into the garden behind the house or should I say castle!
"He is on some kind of trip he won't be back for a few days." I smile as we head up the winding staircases into N's room. I would never dare to ask why N had so many little kid toys or why his room looked like that of a 6 or 7 year old's. The whole subject was taboo. I knew N had his reasons and asking about certain ones were even too personal for me to know.
I merely sit back and read one of the many books that lie around his room as he does what he normally does, which consist of controlling his train on its never ending tracks that wind around his room like vines. He always seems so peaceful when he is here, it is only when there is the slightest creak or bump when he becomes tense.
I look up when I hear him laugh to himself, I smile and he looks up at me. "Um...you want one?" He says, holding up one of the many trains to me. Normally, I would have said no. But this time, it seemed different. "Sure," I say taking the train and obviously making his day.
I set the train down on the tracks before pausing, I hadn't played with trains or any kind of toy for that matter in years. I wasn't exactly sure what to do next. N must have noticed this for he stopped what he was doing and looked over at me before handing me the remote control. I smile and control my train around the train.
Throughout the whole activity we are both quiet, it is only when my train flips off the tracks that I say something. "Oops!" I say laughing reaching in to fix the train at the same time N does.
I end up laying my hand directly on top of his. We both seem to freeze for a moment, before I slowly squeeze his hand. He looks over at me nervously as I slowly pull his shaking hand into mine. I use both of my hands to hold his small one.
I look at him softly before pulling him into a comforting embrace. At first he is tense but he relaxes in my arms eventually. I rub his back softly before brushing the hair from his face revealing his black eye. I stare at it for a moment before he turns away from me, covering his eye. "N," I say softly. "Don't look at it, I know it makes me look even more hideous than I already am! Ghetsis told me!" he replies still covering his eye and now crying.
I move to his side and he looks up at me, his eyes red from crying. I move my hand to brush his hair out of the way when he flinches back yelling, "Please don't hit me! I'm sorry!" I frown and bite my lip before slowly wrapping him in another hug, "Don't worry I could never hurt you."
He looks up at me before bursting out in a fit of tears. I rub his back softly while he lets everything out. "Ssh," I say, "It's going to be all right. Don't worry." "Okay..." he manages in between tears. I sigh in content and scoot myself against a wall while I rub his back soothingly as I think.
If only he knew how much I loved him...
Me: :) I think this chapter was fantastico! But, I wanna know what you think!
Tepig: Well it was me who made him talk to N in the first place! I need some credit!
Me: Yatta yatta, whatever!
Tepig: Of course -_-
