Chapter: I know who you are


Brick's P.O.V

I looked at my phone again and doubted my feelings. Confusion was still having a hold on me when I got a brilliant idea. Whatever outcome I was going to choose, it was probably for the best to keep her locked up inside my castle anyway.

I ordered the Ganggreen Gang to arrest her, but I didn't tell them why. If I was going to keep her alive it was important that no one would know she is Blossom. If I was going to keep this a secret from the outside world it needed to be perfect.

It didn't take them long before they had brought Momoko to the throne room where I waited for them. I hadn't made up my mind yet but as our eyes connected I felt all kind of emotions running through me. Killing her wasn't one of them and that also gave me great concerns.

I ordered the Ganggreen gang to leave us and I took a step closer while I crossed my arms. Momoko looked calm but now I could also see the fear. I took a deep breath before I said to her what I wanted to say for the last few minutes.

''I know who you are Blossom….''

Once those words left me I saw panic rise even more on her face, but what surprised me was that Momoko still didn't try to run. Instead, she crossed her arms and stared defeated back at me. I hadn't expected this but I took the opportunity to grab her and pulled her towards my room.

I felt her shake off fear as I pulled her along but I ignored it. Once we arrived at my room I released her and locked the door behind me. I observed her and watched as she settled down on my bed while holding a pillow in her lap.

That's when I seated down before her and stared at her pink orb. She was almost crying and It was hurting me. Never in my life, I left this horrible….and so did she…

''Blossom…I'm not going to hurt you.'' That not only surprised me but also my counterpart, who was now wiping away some tears. She found it unreal and thought about me lying as she held on her pillow even tighter. Luckily she also seemed to realize that If I wanted her killed, I could have done it already.

''Why?'' She said softly as disbelieve was still having his hold on her. I understood her very well. We had both found ourselves in an impossible position with only a bad outcome for both of us.

''I guess I'm willing to except my lover for who she is, even if she's my counterpart that I was destined to destroy. '' I said with a lot of hatred towards myself. Loving Blossom would mean that I was going to defy my own destiny and everything that would come with it.

Momoko's expression seemed to soften once she understood my words and for the first time, she answered back to me. ''Brick… I'm in so much conflict right now… I am scared for my life but I'm even more scared about you breaking my heart.''

Now I let my wall down and smiled softly at her as I tried to rub her arm and comfort her. ''I'm not going to break your heart anytime soon and If I wanted to destroy you I would have done it already.''

She knew I was telling the truth and now we both smiled a little. The conflict I was having today had been with her from the first time I had asked her on a date….Why hadn't I noticed it before? Did love really make me this blind?

It stayed quiet between us until Momoko suddenly leaned back against the bed board and spoke to me. ''You found my compact didn't you? That was a smart move to lock us up in the classroom.'' Now I smiled brightly, realizing that my plan had worked. If she would have known we were going to search her house, she would have hidden her compact were I couldn't have found it.

The more time we stayed quiet again, the more we began to enjoy each other's company. It seems we are now beginning to realize how much we have wanted to be together. Like fate was pulling us towards each other instead of repelling.

I moved so I could sit next to her and hugged her. The hug I got back was one I had only dreamed of and it made me feel secure. I made the good decision to keep her alive.

Once we broke the hug I gave her a small kiss on her lips before leaning back. Momoko then watched me move as she was debating on telling me something. I wanted to know what it could be and I didn't have to wait long.

''Does this mean we're okay…. and I can have my compact back?'' She looked cute as she tried to convince me to give her compact back. Unfortunately, for her I never wanted to fight Blossom anymore, what also meant I couldn't have her transforming into her superhero form.

''No''

''Why not? If we..''

I interrupted her by holding up my hand. Then I narrowed my eyes at her and quickly stole another kiss from her. Without saying anything I stood up and walked towards my door to open it. Then I turned around and smirked at her surprised but startled face. ''Look at it this way Pinky…without this, I don't need to fight you ever again.'' I moved my right hand in my pocket and took out her compact. Her eyes widen as she now got the ultimate proof of me having her transforming device.

''Get used to your new home Momoko, cause you're not going home anytime soon'' I then stepped out my room and locked the door behind me.
