Ryder's Point of View
"Can we just get this one and be done?" Kyle asked.
"Kyle, if I had known that you were going to sit here and bitch, I would've left your ass at home," I ground out through my teeth. I was trying to grocery shop, but Kyle was working my last nerve.
"Kyle! Ryder!"
I looked away from my brother and saw Tsubaki standing at the end of the aisle.
I smiled and walked towards her. I liked Tsubaki. She was nice, wasn't completely bat shit crazy and wasn't god awful obnoxious. She'd come to the garage with Soul a few times, when Black Star managed to grind her nerves. He must've been something, because Tsubaki was the most patient person I had ever met.
"Hey Tsubaki," I greeted.
Kyle muttered an unenthusiastic "Hi."
I elbowed him in the side. "Go pick out some damn candy or something. I don't give a shit."
He smiled and literally skipped off. He fucking skipped. I let out an annoyed huff. "Can't take him anywhere."
"At least he didn't knock down half of the store, when declaring that he needs food to fuel his godly powers."
"You're a saint," I told her. "I would've killed him. I thought my merry band of fuck heads was bad, but between Maka-chops, rants about surpassing God and asymmetrical freak outs… Shit. You make us seem normal. I was surprised by a simple nose bleed."
"A nose bleed? Soul?"
"Yeah. Out of nowhere. It was weird. I answered the door and blood started pouring like a faucet."
She giggled.
I was confused. "And it's funny how?"
"Well, Soul only gets nose bleeds around women, who are… well endowed and…" she trailed off trying to think about the right word. "I want to say exposed, but sometimes Blair is fully clothed, when she makes him have one. It's not right to say that it's girls, who flaunt it either, because that's not necessary."
I thought about it for a second. "Sports bra and yoga shorts," I said.
She giggled again. "Yep. That'll do it."
My brother reappeared, running towards me with arms full of candy. He slipped and dropped it everywhere.
I face palmed, before pulling my wrench out f my purse and throwing it at him.
"YOU'RE TWENTY-FUCKING-THREE YEARS OLD! ACT LIKE IT FOR ONCE IN YOUR GOD DAMN LIFE!"
"Well it was good seeing you, Ryder. You too Kyle. I have to finish shopping, before Black Star comes looking for me."
Author's Note:
It was short. Yes, but it was necessary, because look at what Ryder found out. There will be another one in like an hour or something. it's almost over, but there is a sequel that will be posted called If She Only Knew the Tides Were Getting Higher. Shout out to who ever knows, which two songs I used for the title.
Review replies:
BlueMoonBrightStars: I was gonna go ahead and click next until I noticed this story didn't have any reviews! I have no idea why, I've read these 1st 6 chaps in one sitting...
Anyway I have a bunch to say
First of all, I love Ryder. She reminds me a lot of Winry from FMA (don't know if that was intentional?) and she seems like a good match for Soul.
Secondly, this story is totally original (as far as I know) which is super impressive. It's not the cookie-cutter OC story and that rocks!
Finally, I love how a few chapters ago you just casually mentioned that she had dated a girl as well as a guy before Soul. It's great that you didn't make a big deal about her being attracted to girls as well as guys.
I'm gonna shut up now, but I really hope you continue soon!
I'm glad you like it. It really makes me happy for you say that. You're review came at the perfect time. I'm going off to school, my dad's being a twat, and some little bitch spewed bull shit about me stealing shit from other authors, so I haven't really felt like updating, but dude you got me back in the right mindset. Thanks for that.
Now that you say it. I hadn't seen the similarities between Winry and Ryder until now. I was actually inspired by Ratchet from the transformers franchise.
As for the dating girls and guys thing, that'll come into play later on if I post the sequel, but I might just make it a one shot.
Anyways. Once again I'm glad you like it.
