Blind trust carries risks, so does eating gas station food but that doesn't mean we don't try it.
"Why should I trust you?" because for real, nothing screams 'trust me' more than a shabby figure with for all he knows could be a cold blood murder.
"We share the same enemy" on the other hand his dad's a bounty hunter so who's him to judge?
"I gotta send a message to my father" the stupid piece of shit die on him like 3 times if he just could get a better position "can you amplify my signal?"
"I can show you the way" the figures moves and yells before disappear "now run!"
You didn't have to tell him twice.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
The air in the planet was humid but fresh so Gary was just enjoying the little trip while Mooncake ooh and coo around him, the plants and the colors mixed with the flashy sky bring him some sort of peace and for a second Gary was gone into the sensation an let his body relax.
"Hey, man" and then a hand come out of nowhere and proceeded to scare the crap out of him.
"Oh! Oh, my gosh!" Gary felt how his heart try to break free from his ribcage and his blood goes direct to his feet as he speak "You just don't cleave everybody in the neck meat, Avocato!"
The feline let a subtle chuckle as he apologize "ok, I still don't fully get why this "thing" with princess 'get in my way and I will castrated you myself' is so important to you but let me give you some advice, buddy"
The blonde just node as they walk together.
"If you want Quinn to trust you, you gotta step up and show her you can lead" Avocato make a gesture with his hands as he continues "Make direct eye contact, then don't let go until you kiss her soul with your eyelashes" there was ire in his eyes like a so passionate believe.
Gary chuckles at the analogy but stay serious, if one person could help him with Quinn that would be the ventrexian, he's an intelligent fella so how cou-
"Like this" Gary swears that sparkles came out of him "too much, or just enough?"
Oh, my wow "Oh, my wow! It's glorious!" and it really was Gary might just by this close to cry and by the wet trail he already was."Do you really think it would work with her?" he just didn't need another break into the already fragile relationship; there were too many bumps to cross he dint need a breach.
"Normally I will said yes, but that girl is a walking bomb so be careful man" the feline put one of his pawn in Gary's robo arm, guilt swimming in his eyes "you can't afford another lost"
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"You're a nobody"
Who say girls have to be sensitive.
To be honest Gary wasn't surprise, after all she was an amazing leader and pilot, has so many skill and super mega brain; maybe galaxy size, anyone with 2 functional eyes can notice that, but when it comes to social, well…..
Good Lord.
"Look, Gary, I'm not trying to be mean" yeah he can tell "we aren't friends, I'm just a person who was caught in a bad moment, and I been with you for too long and still; you don't know me and I don't know you, if you get hurt or die well, that's a responsibility I don't want"
If that's her way to not be, he didn't wanna know when she tries to.
"I don't accept your truth" even if he feels like he was hit by a meteor this won't stop him "and that was incredibly mean"
"I'm sorry"
"I don't think you are"
"You're right" she looks at him with boring eyes "I'm not"
Every being inside him scream to stop, this wasn't worth it but he shush it and keep going "you will end up trusting me" he put an hand in her shoulder and send her the most serious look he can conjure "I promise"
And for a split of second something changes in her eyes.
But then a wild nightmare shrinking demon appeared.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"I told you, I'm doing this on my own"
"The hell you are" ok normally he was a peaceful guy, except with KVN but this was getting in his nerves "like it or not, we're a team"
"A job worth doing is worth doing together"
"Thank you, tiny Avocato"
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Quinn was two steps to have a fucking aneurysm.
"Have you all lost your minds?!" the alarm in the background growing louder as the seconds pass "you're working for the Lord Commander! We're Infinity Guard the last vestige of hope in the universe"
How this could be happening, everything she believes, everything she was taught was shattering in front of her, she want to scream and punches something or someone; more specifically punch Stone.
"I'm begging you, stop"
She look at her commander, the guy who welcome her, trained with, even help her when she need it, his expression morphing into a sick grin "that's a good speech, but nah, ain't happening"
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"You were right about everything" to be honest he was still a little surprise about that.
"I know" he smiles sadly at her "it's a blessing and my curse" but still he waits for her to continue, this must be really hard revelation to take in.
"If the Lord Commander corrupted the Infinity Guard it means there's no good guys left" now, that's ridiculous, he saw her sad expression morph into something that he's very familiar with.
Self-loathing.
And that ain't happening.
Not if he can help it.
"Yes, there are"
Quinn finally looks at him with a quizzical expression.
"Who?"
"Us"
He offers her a fist bumps and smiles expectantly.
She looks at it and with every second that pass Gary was getting more nervous until she lifts hers too.
"Okay, then"
Gary smile grow bigger.
"We're the good guys now"
:D
Hiiiiii! Nope not dead yet!
I'm gonna be straight forward with ya dudes, I been pretty down this last months (emotionally, physically, etc) and at one point I was like "I give up man"
My brain hurt, my body hurts and my emotions were a mess (they still are but I'm getting help)
But the funny thing in these cases is when you decide you had enough and choose what to do next and I decide to fight back.
I'm not 100% fine but getting there (listening to undertale soundtracks and ben Platt had help me good) sooooo I'm like ok let's do this!
Don't worry I'm having a blast aging writing these stories, i update these on first cuz honestly, it was already finish but as I said pretty down lately so even with that I could bring myself to end them until now.
Don't worry I'm working on the new chaps of Roommates (where almost done huraaay!
thank for all your kind reviews I really love reading them!
So read you later.
