'~ CHAPTER 7 ~'
A/N: Ok, I know what you're thinking. I thought you said Sunday. But what I thought was: screw that, I'll post today! Plus, I have nothing better to do today, and I'll be busy tomorrow so…here you go! I felt that the past maybe one or two chapters were moderate, so I have spiced up this chapter a bit *evil smile*. Anyway, have you seen Jerome's first Seattle Vlog yet? Jason is…so…CUTE! Enjoy!
Seto's POV
I rubbed my eyes the next morning, as I stumbled slightly down the stairs. I stopped halfway, seeing Lea passed out on the love seat. A leg was dangled over the seating and her arms were crossed. It almost reminded me of one of those lazy guards of like a museum or something in the movies...don't ask. I smiled to myself, now thinking of that as I stared at Lea's sleeping form. I stepped down the rest of the stairs, and walked over Lea and lightly tapped her shoulder.
"Wakey, wakey, Lea," I whisper close to her ear.
"Oh my Notch, Seto," Lea mumbles back, "I just got on the freaking couch…please," she then swats aimlessly twice before turning to her left.
"Sky's here," was the two words that popped Lea upright. She frantically looks around, before glaring at me.
Lea's POV
"You little snitch. You realize one of these days I won't believe you, and I'll not listen right?"
"Ok, ok, I'm sorry," Seto chuckles, "You should really freshen up."
"Yes, Mom," I joke, pushing myself off the couch. I jogged up to my room and went to the connected restroom. At least, to me, it would be called the connected restroom since it connected Seto's and my room. After I had splashed water on my face, I furrowed my eye brows at my reflection. I leaned in closer, eyeing the top of my head. My hair roots were not blond, but black just like when in my mixed form. I tried to focus on changing it back, but it wouldn't. Was this a sign of some sort? Trying to keep my mind off of it, I went back down stairs to the back yard where Seto was at.
"Hey Seto, do you think was a result of one of the potions I had like last week?" I ask, tilting my head downward so Seto could see. I couldn't see his reaction as he tip-toed a bit to overview the spot.
"I…don't think so," Seto replies with a puzzled tone now looking at me.
"Ok, say Seto, you don't think…this could be something squid related don't you? Because, if you haven't noticed already, this is my hybrid hair color," I briefly point at my hair, whispering the last few words panicking slightly.
"But until we find out what is causing this, I recommend you wearing a hat so no one would question it."
"Great idea," I clap, heading upstairs again. I swear this is as good as going to the gym. I search my closet and found a beanie, wearing it straight away. Adjusted it, I made my way downstairs yet again.
"My Notch, Lea, I didn't know you had a beanie," Seto gawks at my hat, "How many more outfits and clothes are you keeping from me?" he incredulously yet jokingly asks.
"It's not your bees wax," I chuckle, as Seto sets himself down on the couch. I let out a squeal, as Jerome jumped from the corner turning to the kitchen, making me in return jump back.
"What the Nether, Seto…Jerome, you friggin'…JERK! Ugh!" I childishly stomped, as Jerome and Seto laughed their little square asses off.
Sky's POV
The laughing was my cue. I burst through the front door that Seto had just recently unlocked once Lea headed upstairs. I casually looked towards Bajan, who hid behind the same wall that Jerome popped out of and nodded at him.
"Sky? Ahhh!" Lea yells, as Bajan pushes her towards me. I caught her halfway holding her with my right arm and my left stretched out behind me like some duos would finish a dance routine. Lea's shocked look slowly became a smile, as she continued to catch her breath.
I soon heard soft whistling, and the next thing I knew I had fallen to the ground with Lea. Somehow though, I had manage to fall on top of Lea. A shy smile shone on her face, as we both stared into each other's eyes both of us lost in them. It was only till Bajan came to help me up before I had snapped back to reality. Jerome then helped Lea up; Lea blushing afterwards.
"Well…" Lea breaths out, "that was an interesting way to start my day." Everyone, including me, laughs at that fact.
"I got to admit that was really funny of you guys to do that. Like my Notch, who planned this?"
"It was all Seto," Bajan waves his hands towards said person. And Seto proudly takes a small bow.
"Ah, Bajan, I can't take all the glory here," Seto shakes his head, "Bajan came up with the chain link."
"Aw, thanks, Seto. That's too much, too much," Bajan replies, putting a hand on his chest.
Lea's POV
I shake my head at the moment, looking towards Jerome who had the same reaction as mine. Before I could take a glance at Sky, a knock on the door was heard. Since no one seemed to hear it, I walked over and opened the door. Turned out it was Bodil40.
"Hey Bodil, what's up?"
"Um, CaptainSparklez called for a-"
"Lea, who's at the…door?" Seto asks, slowing his words pace once he saw Bodil, "Who's this guy?" he asks in a barely noticeable defensive tone. Soon Bajan, Sky, and Jerome appear behind me and Seto.
"This is Bodil40. He was the one who made the parkour maps I did yesterday," I then turned to Bodil, "So Bodil, this is my brother Seto, and our friends Sky, Jerome, and BajanCanadian."
"Hey, were you the one who made an ultimate trolling map recently?" Sky asks out of the blue.
"Uh…yeah." Bodil nervously laughs.
"Oh my Notch, dude, that made me rage so much! Other than that, I must say, you did a really good job on that."
"Thanks, Sky," Bodil replies, "Shall we go now, Lea?"
"Sure, Bo-"
"Wait, where do you think you're going?" Seto interrupts, as he comes out and stands somewhat between me and Bodil outside of the house.
"I agreed to go with Bodil to one of his friend's house," I briefly looked at Bodil before back at Seto, "…ya'll can come too if you want."
"Would love to, but me and biggums have a date with the hunger deans," BajanCanadian speaks up for the both of them, Bajan putting an arm on Jerome's shoulder.
"I don't mind going," Sky volunteers, "I don't have anything on my schedule today."
"Ok, and I'm of course going as well," Seto says next.
"So, Sky, we'll see you later?" Jerome asks, as he and Bajan walk out closing the door behind them.
"Yeah, have a good time guys!"
"You too!" they both shout over their shoulders, and we started going our separate ways. Bodil and I took the lead as Seto and Sky wandered a ways behind us.
"Why are you inviting them over?" Bodil panics in a whispered tone, "You realize that we are going Sparklez's house, and what I couldn't finish was that he called us over for a private meeting."
"If I told Seto to not come with, he'll become suspicious, and I can't risk that. Maybe a miracle would happen and we three can talk in a separate room. Besides what else would he need to talk to us about? I thought we pretty much covered everything at the meeting yesterday at you know where."
"He didn't tell me," Bodil sadly responds back, "All Sparklez said was to get you and go over to his house, nothing more."
"Let's just hope he's prepared for company," I sighed, as Bodil did as well.
Sky's POV
"Dude, I can't tell you how genius that was."
"Thanks, Sky," Seto replies, "You know though, this so called 'surprise attack' was really inspired by…you."
"Really?" I raise an eye brow at Seto, "In what way, besides the fact I am indeed awesome?"
"Don't deny it, Sky," Seto shakes his head, "Don't think I am not aware of your actions towards Lea. You like her, don't you?"
"Oh, and how in the Nether would you know that for sure?" I scoffed, "The Butter king submits to no one."
"When you brought her home after the pool hang out," Seto replies thoughtfully.
"All the other guys were bushed, and Husky had to stay and clean the pool. Isn't exactly a reason for your information, Seto."
"The fact that you brought her home was good enough for me. She could have walked home by herself, as she has done many times before. And when I opened the door to you guys, I saw the way you looked at her."
Seto's POV
"Fine, you want to put me in a corner? Yes, I sort of do…like her…" Sky trailed off, looking forward instead of at me, "Does she…happened to, I don't know…like me back?" Sky expectantly glanced towards me, as I was in deep thought.
"I don't know…" I lied through my teeth. I knew Lea had maybe…at least a crush on Sky, but with the life she lives, I don't know if she can juggle a relationship with the things she already has piled on her.
Sky is a nice guy and I would approve of him, had not Lea's squid side been added into the situation. Yesterday was almost a disaster, had Lea not have the power of changing to a normal squid. A normal person I can foresee can hopefully take the news of someone being a hybrid ok, but the hero of Minecraftia who has a burning hatred for squids finding out about this. It's not going to end well.
