Beth popped a piece of bubble gum in her mouth as she looked at her british 'boyfriend'.
"Hey James, did frootloop say exactly who this Avon-Er...Sorrow kid was?" she questioned curiously. James shot her a look.
"Frootloop tell me something? Nah, he'd probably tell you first." he said casually, turning into a shadow and going across the floor towards Beth. Beth shuddered and glared at him.
"You'd said you explain your 'shadow powers.' Now explain." growled Beth in a threatening voice. James smirked.
"When did I say that?" laughed James, ruffling Beth's hair. It was a poor choice on James part, and he was quickly pinned to the wall by his throat.
"Tell. NOW." shouted Beth. James put up his hands in surrender.
"Fine, fine. Let go of me please?" he begged. Beth sighed and reluctantly released his throat.
"Fine." She and James walked over and sat down on a comfortable sofa. Well, at least James did. He sat in a black office chair and grabbed Maddie, who was waddling around for food. He dramatically spun around, stroking the white cat evilly. A flash of lightening completed the scene, and Beth almost laughed at the irony.
"Wow. So, Villian, tell." James stuck his tongue out at the ridiculous nickname.
" Villian?" he asked incredulously. Beth blushed and averted her icy gaze to the ground.
"Shut up. Just tell the story." growled Beth. James chuckled and stroked his chin as if he had an invisible goatee.
"Should I, or should I not?" he questioned out loud, glancing at Beth as he spoke. "I mean, you've been a very naughty girl, throwing me against a wall and clutching my throat..." He trailed off, and waited for Beth's reaction.
Beth crossed her arms and huffed.
"Excuse me for you being a butthead." she muttered. James let out a chuckle, and smiled at her.
"You really are a frisky girl, aren't you?" he teased, getting off the black office chair and 'shadowing' his way over to Beth, reappearing behind her back. Beth growled and closed her eyes in frustration.
"Of course. It's in my nature." she said, one step closer to exploding at him. He grinned and placed his mouth right next to her ear.
"So it's in your nature to like my kisses?"
Beth's eyes flung open and she blushed furiously.
"Y-you were the one plant it on me! My body went against my permission! It was a natural reaction!" she sputtered. James chuckled.
"It did shut you up..." he mumbled under his breath. Out loud he said, "But you're not denying you liked it."
If it was humanly possible for a human to turn more red, Beth would've broken it.
"I-" she started out. Her red face turned triumphant as she stuck her pointer finger in his face.
"You're changing the subject! You still haven't explained how you got your powers!" she said triumphantly, her finger sticking up proudly. James just gave a gentle smile and did something utterly unexpected- he took her finger and kissed it.
Beth gave a quick gasp, not really comprehending the situation. James smiled and made his way back to the black chair.
"Now," he stated, "for the back story."
Gah! So short! So sorry, but the backstory is coming soon!
