London
The last few nights I've been helping Kusuo control his strength when he throws. A wall suffered much damage before he could move to a human's average strength, which at that moment was me. He was hesitant which led him to throw the ball too soft but after some bribery, he threw it a bit harder, but soft enough to not cause damage. We ended up playing an hour-long game of catch. He improved a lot, and I'm proud of him!
"Stop that!"
"It's true though! I'm proud of you!"
This afternoon I had to run to the store to buy food for the week. On my way back I hear a loud sound like a wall crumbling. I run to where the sound came from and I notice the wall unbelievably clean.
"Wait…"
I hear Nendo's loud voice.
"Ah crap!"
I place the shopping bags on the ground by the wall and climb up the wall. I see Kusuo without one of his limiters. He notices me, his eyes widen.
"So, it has begun."
"Nendo!" I call, successfully distracting the dunderhead.
"Oh, ramen buddy! What are you-," he grins and waves rapidly.
"Let's go get ramen!" I blurt out cutting him off.
"Sure!" his grin gets wider.
"Thank you."
"Anything for you."
Kusuo disappears. Distraction was a success! I get down from the wall and grab my groceries while Nendo comes out to meet me. We go to get ramen, but I get a call before we order.
"Yes?" I answer my phone
"Ena, Kusuo collapsed in our living room!" Kurumi's frantic voice comes from the other side
"I'm on my way," I hang up then turn to Nendo, "Raincheck on that ramen, there's an emergency I gotta take care off."
"No problem ramen buddy," he nods with a goofy grin.
I smile and start running towards Kusuo's house. Once there, I knock on the door a bit harder than I intended. Kuniharu answers.
"Ah Ena, come in," he moves aside, he looks worried
"Thank you," I say between pants, going in and placing my groceries on the floor.
Kurumi is on the phone with who I assume is Kusuke. I bend down carefully in front of Kusuo.
"You came fast."
I take his hand.
"Of course I did; when it comes to you, I'll drop whatever I'm doing to help you."
His face contorts slightly in pain.
"His head is getting filled with a lot of thoughts."
An idea hits me.
"Hold on."
I run up the stairs to his room to find his germanium ring. Once I find it, I run back, takes his hand, and slide the ring into his finger.
"Better?" I whisper squeezing his hand gently.
He nods.
"Ena could you come with us to London to see Ku's brother?" Kurumi asks after hanging up.
I look at her and nod. Like that, I board the plane with the Saikis to London. I volunteer to push Kusuo on the wheelchair. His parents start taking pictures of the city the second we leave the hotel.
"Ay."
I watch them have a one-sided conversation with Kusuo. Suddenly Kuniharu walks up to me and hands me the pieces of Kusuo's limiter.
"He wants you to hold onto them," he says.
"Oh ok," I put them away safely in my bag.
"Alright next stop Cambridge!" he cheers.
Well, that is the idea, but we end up sightseeing instead. In one of the stores we go in, I stay off to the side in the store with Kusuo. I spot a cute beanie with snowflakes stitched all around the border on the stand next to us.
"Cute," I giggle trying it on then go around facing Kusuo, "Look what I found!"
He looks at me, a small smile appearing on his face.
"Cute."
"I know right?!" I grin, taking it off to look at it again.
"I guess the hat is cute too."
It took me a hot second to connect the dots and realize what he said. I feel my face go red; I hide a little behind the beanie glancing away from him.
"I…um…" I splutter, getting redder.
He chuckles. His parents come back with new shirts on that make them seem like tourists. I buy the beanie and put it on happily. We go to the London Eye and get on after passing through bag check; I sigh, placing my hands on Kusuo's shoulders, knowing what he's about to do and what's about to happen.
"Don't stand up," I lean forward to whisper in his ear, "He'll show up here."
I notice his ears get red when I lean back.
"Did me whispering in his ear cause that? Hmmm."
True to my word Kusuke shows up, flying with a jetpack. I look up at him, unimpressed.
"I've seen this countless times, it doesn't impress me anymore, unlike Kusuo's powers."
We get off the London Eye. Their parents run to him; he ignores Kuniharu while he greets Kurumi. He goes up to Kusuo and me.
"Ah, you must be Ena, Kusuo's girlfriend." He says condescending, "You don't look like much."
"And you must Kusuke, Kusuo's annoying older brother," I smile unaffected by his insult, "Nice to finally meet the one who's failed so many times to surpass him."
Kusuke's eye twitches, and then he turns to his dad. After jokingly confusing him for someone else, he hugs him.
"Oooh, I hit a nerve."
Their parents explain to him the situation, then he goes on a ramble; I tune that part out.
"Let me have a look at those parts," he says after finishing his ramble.
Kuniharu pales, "I lost my bag!"
I sigh. Before Kusuke could take out his laptop I butt in.
"You left it at the bag check-in the London Eye," I say earning another eye twitch from him.
I smirk.
"Am I stealing your spotlight pretty boy?"
"Oh wow, how did you know?" Kuniharu asks impressed.
"That was the last time I saw you with it on then it disappeared, so it was safe to assume you left it there," I explain.
We go retrieve the bag. Kusuke asks for the pieces again.
"Oh, Ena has them," Kurumi says smiling.
I take the little bag with the pieces out of my bag and hand them to him. He puts the limiter back together quickly, impressing his parents. He looks at me as if expecting an expression of amazement but all I give him is a bored look. The limiter is back where it belongs, in Kusuo's head! Kusuo gets up from the wheelchair and takes off the ring.
"That thing on his head cancels your telepathy."
He looks at Kusuke's head.
"That explains it."
Kusuke introduces his invention as the telepathy canceler. He invites Kusuo to see his lab, gives their parents a reservation to a restaurant, then turns to me.
"There's a bookstore nearby, perhaps you would like to check it out?" He gives me a fake smile.
I chuckle menacingly, "You're not getting rid of me that easy."
He ignores me turning to Kusuo "Kusuo lets play rock paper scissors."
They play, and Kusuke loses as always. He starts listing off all the games he lost to Kusuo as we walk.
"Yes, we get it, you lost many times."
"In total, how many times do you think I lost to you?" He asks.
"4254 times…"
"Zero wins, 4254 loses," he confirms my thoughts.
Kusuo teleports us to a hotel room.
"Shun and Nendo are in the room next door."
Kusuo's head snaps towards me.
"What?!"
"Oh, I see you've noticed, that's right they are in the next room." Kusuke once again confirms my thoughts.
Kusuo looks a mix between annoyed and angry. I take a seat in a nearby chair tired from all the walking. Kusuke tells us when he invited them.
"Yes, they would be the type of people to fall for it."
"I would have done the same to your little girlfriend, but Mom beat me to it," he adds.
I sigh irritably.
"Not surprised, but why do people keep calling me Kusuo's girlfriend? I mean I'm not complaining, but it would be nice if it were true..."
I tune out his voice until Kusuo grabs my hand and drags me out of the room.
"Oh, I'm participating in the game of tag?" I ask in surprise.
He nods opening the door of the room Shun and Nendo are in.
"Hey, buddy!" Nendo yells in excitement
"Surprised to see us?!" Shun also yells then sees me, "Oh hey Ena, what're you doing here?"
"Their mom asked me to tag along," I respond.
Kusuke butts in announcing that we are going to play tag around London. They're supposed to help Kusuo and I escape…
"Say what?"
We got three hours and we can use any type of transportation as long as we don't leave the city limits. He gives us half an hour head start. Once outside Kusuo grabs a map of the city. We walk for a good 20 minutes when I remember something.
"Um, guys?" I call them, and they stop walking and turn to me, "The subway is on strike."
"WHAT?!" Shun yells, shocked, "What about a bus or taxi instead?"
I point towards the nearby bus, where there is a huge line waiting to board, "I don't think so."
They look at the line. Shun starts to visibly panic.
"If we don't move, we'll be caught!" he cries.
I look around.
"Hmm, oh."
I see the bicycles they use in the anime.
"Guys, let's use that," I point at the bicycles.
"Great idea Ena," Shun says.
We grab the bikes and ride into alleys avoiding the cameras. We ride for 15 minutes before Shun gets tired and falls from the bike. I click my tongue. I hear loud rumble making me look above me. My eyes widen as I see Kusuke on a motorcycle about to land right on top of me! I jump off the bike out of the way, possibly twisting my ankle on the landing. The motorcycle lands creating a lot of smoke.
"Ena!"
"Ena/Yuki!" Shun and Nendo shout
"I'm okay!" I shout back getting up and getting back on my bike as the smoke clears.
We start pedalling once more. Nendo calls Kusuke a psychic when I remembered something.
"Dammit! Kusuo, he has a tracker on you."
Kusuke comes to a sudden stop. We stop at a department store. Shun and Nendo look around. Nendo ends up riding a small car down the aisle.
"I don't know him," I mumble a little embarrassed from watching Nendo.
In that moment of rest, my ankle starts to hurt.
"Ah, I must have twisted my ankle when I landed from that jump."
Suddenly sound comes from the store's speakers. It called Nendo a gorilla and a serial killer, accused Shun of calling football soccer, condemned Kusuo with climbing the big ben, and me of doing graffiti on the monument of Queen Victoria!
"What the fuck man?! I could get killed for that!"
Kusuo grabs my hand and we start running with Nendo and Shun right behind us. Soon a mob of shoppers are chasing us. The mob chases another four people and we take that chance to go up one more floor. We hide in the bathroom. Kusuo pulls me into his arms. I cling onto his shirt tense.
"Time's up."
I relax into his warm embrace.
"Good, I'm exhausted."
We walk back to the hotel. That night I sit with Shun and Nendo to eat the desserts Kusuke promised to serve if Kusuo and I won. Shun and Nendo start fighting.
"Enaaaaa! Nendo took my cake!" Shun whines like a child
"Oh boy, I have become a mother."
"Nendo don't take his cake," I scold Nendo.
He pouts like a child while Shun sticks his tongue out at him. I sigh, finishing my dessert. I get up.
"I'll turn myself in, that game of tag was exhausting." I yawn.
"Oh, alright sleep well Ena," Kurumi smiles, "Ku, why don't you take her to her room?"
He gets up without a fuzz and takes me to my room after I bid goodnight to everyone. In the hallway, he picks me up bridal style.
"K…Kusuo!" I squeak surprised, "I can walk."
"No, you can't, do you think I didn't notice you limping all the way back here?"
I avoid looking at him a blush creeps onto my face
"I thought I was walking fine," I mumble
He sighs and teleports us into my hotel room. The lights turn on as he sits me on the bed. He takes a seat on the bed facing me. He gently grabs my throbbing ankle, I wince. Suddenly it didn't hurt anymore.
"Oh," I blink and smile at him, "Thank you, Ku," I stand up, "I'll go change out of these sweaty clothes," I go for my bag to take out my pajamas.
Out of nowhere, he hugs me from behind. My body heats up, my face is probably a tomato.
"I thought I lost you…"
His voice sounds so broken, scared. His arms are trembling. I turn around in his embrace, cup his cheeks gently.
"You won't get rid of me that easily," I whisper.
For the first time he lets out a small laugh, he leans forward pressing his forehead against mine.
"I won't allow it, you belong here with me," he whispers, using his voice for the first time!
Don't be afraid to review I don't bite unless ya are into that ;)
