Chapter 9: I Need a CPR Shot, Stat!
"Hey, do you think I can stay here a bit longer, Julius? It's pretty late and I want to take a bath just in case I go on an adventure tonight." Ace said stopping the silence that had went over the room.
Julius and Alice both stared at the Knight, "I don't see why not. Just don't interrupt me." He said before Alice hopped off his lap.
"Ace! Oh, Ace! Follow me!" Alice said excitedly while she grabbed his hand and skipped outside the office, "You can take a bath with me!" She sang as she dragged him up the stairs; it was pretty obvious from the look on his face he did not disagree.
-.-
"This is boring… The whole reason I decided to take a bath with Ace was because I thought it was going to fun!" Alice pouted as she leaned against the wall holding onto her towel that hung around her chest.
"Hey Ali, why do you have that towel on? We're bathing, so that's pretty weird." Ace said rising from the water a bit showing off his chest a bit more.
Alice shrugged, "When my big sister and Mama took baths in tubs as big as this they always used them like this. I thought I should too!"
Ace nodded an understanding expression etched on his face. "That makes sense. But if you want to play the game I thought of, you have to drop the towel."
"What kind of game is it? Do you want to hear my heart again?" Alice asked curiously.
"No. You have to find something that's under water." Ace informed with a nod, "Your towel is going to get really wet."
Alice looked down at her towel a frown on her face, "Aw… But the towel is wet anyways… I don't wanna take it off, I'll be really cold."
"You don't have to take it off, I guess. It'll just be real hard to move under water with it." He frowned.
Alice grinned, "Okay! So what's the game?"
The Knight of Hearts now gave Alice a dark look as he waded over from his end of the tub towards her.
Alice's eyes glowed with determination, "No matter what it is, Ali can't lose to you!" She declared right before Ace pushed her against the wall. He used his arms to cage her from escaping.
"It's a fairly easy game, I suppose." He smirked as he pressed his bare chest onto Alice's. The little girl stared up at him eyes with innocence. Ace dropped his head close to her ears and began whispering. Alice raised a brow, "That's super duper mega special easy!" She exclaimed.
-.-
"Ace? I thought you were going to take a bath in the other tub, not the main one…" Julius asked blankly as he came in with only his towel on.
The Knight looked up from the murky water that reached his navel, a grin planted on his face, "Oh, I'm taking a bath with Alice. The other tubs were too small for the two of us."
"But where is she?" Julius asked looking around.
"Under the water, about right here from the feel of it." The brunet replied while pointing down in front of him.
Before Julius could respond Alice's head popped up from the pink tinged water right in front of Ace.
"I found it! I found the pink snake!" She grinned excitedly at Ace who smirked.
Julius' face was in pure shock he watched Alice jump up and down in the water while shouting accusations at Ace who laughed.
"… What pink snake?" He asked cautiously attempting to stay composed.
"The one Ace has." Alice responded innocently.
Julius fell into the bath with a splash as Alice and Ace watched him curiously, "Are you okay!?" Alice asked worriedly while going over to him as he resurfaced.
"I was talking about the rubber snake Ace brought for us to play! He had his foot on it so he cheated!" She said with her tongue sticking out at the Knight's direction while he raised the short bouncy pink snake toy up from the water smiling.
"I said it was going to be on me didn't I?"
"But that counts as under you! Not on you!" Alice said pointing at him.
Julius now allowed the situation to fully sink in as he held a hand to his now throbbing head.
"This is the last time I play a game with you!"
"Fine, but if you must know… You grabbed the wrong snake anyways." Ace grinned at her and Julius gave him a glare, "Shut up, Ace."
"What!? There's another snake! I need to win!" Alice proclaimed as she prepared to go under the water again but Julius grabbed her arm.
"No, Alice. Stop." He sighed.
Ace pouted, "Well, I guess that still counts for winning."
Alice smiled brightly, "Yay! Your games are always so fun, Ace!"
Julius sighed as he began walking out the tub, "I'll be using another tub—"
Before he could finish both Ace and Alice grabbed one of his hands with grins.
"You can't leave!" Alice giggled.
"You just got in!" Ace said smirking, Alice backed up a bit as Ace dunked Julius head under the water while laughing.
Alice laughed even harder when Julius resurfaced and did the same to Ace, except he held the Knight's head down for so long bubbles began to come up. "That looks like fun!" Alice said wading over to them, "Can I join!" She asked excitedly as she was suddenly tugged down under water with Ace.
Under the water her eyes made out the face of the grinning Knight whose hair was held captive by Julius' hand from above. Without warning he took his free hand and pushed her face to his. Eyes widened Alice frantically attempted to push him off, Ace opened her mouth with his tongue and began sucking in as though performing CPR.
As soon as he pulled away, Alice breathlessly resurfaced from the water with teary eyes that were unseen to the confused Clock Maker.
"Wah!" Alice cried running out the bath, "Ace gave me the cooties! Wah!"
Julius watched her dumbfounded as Ace came up from the water, "Phew, would've drowned if she didn't give me air." He claimed innocently as Julius shook his head and began getting out the water. "Alice, Come back." He called.
-.-
Alice on the other hand was hiding under her bed with her special teddy bear clutched in her hands, still dripping wet and in her towel.
She flinched a bit as the door opened. All she saw was a pair of someone's shoes. She frowned as she dragged herself down to the farthest corner of the bed.
Julius had finished changing and managed to check in Alice's room to see if she was still in the building. Of course the wet trail she left tipped him off. As he entered, he saw the puddles that led to under her bed and sighed.
"Achoo!" He heard Alice's voice sneeze from under the bed.
"Bless you." Was his stimulated reaction.
"Thank y— Er, I mean, no one's here!" Alice exclaimed pouting.
Julius rolled his eyes as he got on his knees and looked under the bed to where the little girl was holding her teddy close to her as she laid on her stomach. "I don't want any more cooties! Ace's own is already making me sick!" Alice shouted before throwing her bear as Julius' face.
Cringing at the furry toy that got projected his way, Julius watched at her firmly, "Alice get out from under there before you catch a cold." He attempted to keep his tone stern though Alice rapidly shook her head.
"No! I'll get more cooties if I do!"
"There are no such things as cooties." He rationally retorted.
"How do you know that? All boys have them so it doesn't affect them!" Alice crossly defied.
Thinking quickly because it was obvious she wasn't going to get out any time soon, Julius eyed her impatiently, "But I already got the cure. So I don't have them anymore." Julius lied through gritted teeth.
This answer caught Alice's attention while she watched forward at him with wide eyes, "There's a cure?"
"Yes. And I'll give it to you if you get out from there." He persuaded her with a nod. Alice hesitated at first but slowly crawled out.
"Where's the cure!?" She asked anxiously while clinging to her dripping wet towel and she got to her feet.
Julius stared down at her with a sigh. "Put out your arm."
Alice obeyed with hesitance. Julius frowned as he pinched a spot near her elbow causing Alice to give a shriek, "Owie!"
"Zero, zero dot dot. Now you have a cootie shot." He said plainly.
"Cool!" Alice said with wide eyes as she gazed at her arm, "Now I can't get sick from cooties anymore! Thank you, Julius!" She exclaimed happily as she hugged him.
"You're still wet and in a towel." He said pushing her off.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Maybe this can make it up to you!" Alice chirped as she stood on her toes and planted a kiss on a Julius' cheek. She pulled back before taking in a deep breath, "The shot worked!" She squealed before running out the room.
"Ace! I forgive you!" Alice sang throughout the building as she rushed back to the bath as Julius touched his now red cheek. "Stupid amnesia." He growled angrily as he walked out her room.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
See… I'm not THAT perverted! So let's tally everything up: Peter kissed and slept with her. Ace touched her chest and kissed her. Blood got his ear bitten and touched her chest. Boris got abused. Twins got abused. Julius got hugs and a kiss. Elliot got abused. That's pretty sad XD
Where should Alice go next? Because I have no clue… Castle, Park, or Mansion? Hm…
