3rd Person P.O.V

After waking up Jessie thought that, upon seeing his savior, they would talk. He would explain to Jessie why he saved him, why he (bothers) cares with him. He wasn't expecting the silence following his awakening to be so, so...awkward.

All they were doing was staring at one another. Romeo was expecting him to scream, shout, demand answers; not stare in silence! He didn't know what to do! how does one explain they've been following (" stalking, but you can't admit that, can you?") someone?

So he waited, and waited...and waited some more since neither seemed to know how to start this, surely, awkward conversation. Finally, it seemed, that they would have to talk, as Jessie sneezed.

"Bless you" Romeo said automatically. Jessie was unsure, but if someone was polite enough to say 'bless you' surely they couldn't be that bad?

"Thank you?..." he trailed off, playing with his shirts (wasn't he wearing a different one this morning? ) sleeves.

"It's alright "Romeo huffed, leaning back a little, "I assume you have questions? " he questioned, eyes staring expectantly.

"Oh! oh right, umm wh-who are you exactly? " Jessie asked, throat dry and his words coming out as more of a mumble . The redhead opened his mouth, and then promptly closed it.

Should he be honest? what if he scared Jessie away, what if he never wanted to see him again, never wanted anything to do with him?

'Screw it' he thought, Jessie was too kind to do that, that much he knew.

" I am The Admin, but you may call me Romeo" He answered. He had never actually told anyone his real name, so he was a little confused as to why he would tell anyone so easily.

But then again no ones ever really caught his interest as much as Jessie has.

Jessie blinked, he wasn't sure what an 'admin' was, but he thought his name, Romeo's name was pretty cool. Smiling a tiny bit, " That's a nice name, but uhh, what exactly is an admin?" Jessie asked a little unsure.

"Ah, well...an Admin is a..."Romeo frowned, should he say god? but while powerful Admin's weren't that powerful. "Something akin to a God, or rather a demi-god" Jessie nodded in understanding, which was good for Romeo since he didn't know of any other way to put it.

"So, why me?" Jessie asked.

Romeo looked at him for a few seconds, trying to come up with a good response. "You caught my interest. Which wouldn't really be a big deal, except you didn't...you weren't - Arrgh!"

Jessie jumped, as Romeo started pacing. He hadn't expected him to get angry. Did he do something wrong?

Noticing his expression Romeo's gaze softened, sighing ( He didn't need to, but it felt relaxing in a way ) he looked at Jessie, then to his wrist where the bracelet lay, to the room filled with gifts he had given him. Why did he care so much? why did he choose Jessie?

"I don't know, you just caught my curiosity. All of my other champions or champion candidates were adults who couldn't do the simplest of things without mucking it up or getting hurt." Jessie's attention was drawn to Reuben, the little pig was oinking softly, wanting to be pet.

"How did I catch your attention?" Jessie softly asked. Meeting Romeo's (inhuman, monstrous, dangerous ) eyes.

He chuckled a bit. "You were being attacked by all those monsters, and then the creepers exploded covering you in slime" He was smiling, but Jessie was frowning in confusion.

"But..you said that other people were older, so wouldn't they be better?"His answer was Romeo's deep, booming laughter "Ohh you couldn't be more wrong, most of those 'adults' can barely survive a day in a jungle! And they call them selves professionals!"

As Romeo continued laughing at old memories, Jessie looked on, thoughtful. Wondering if what he said was true, if adults that called them selves professional were actually terrible survivalist's.

Giggling some more Romeo turned his gaze towards Jessie, the boy had a thoughtful expression on his face.

Looking at the Jessie, he wondered how he was feeling. It had been a very long time since he'd healed anyone, he hoped Jessie wasn't currently in pain.

Shaking his head to get rid of those thoughts, he waited for Jessie to say something. Jessie upon seeing Romeo looking in his direction looked back.

Clearing his throat, Jessie green eyes staring into Romeo's red and yellow ones,"Now what?" he asked, a curious look on his face. "What do you mean? " he asked scooting closer to Jessie, eyebrow raised.

"Well you said something about champions and how most people aren't very good at things, so what are you going to do with me?"Jessie stammered out.

'Ah, so he wanted to know what my plans are for him!' Romeo smiled. "Well, I was thinking you become my champion! Don't worry it's less serious than it sounds" seeing the look Jessie was giving him, he elaborated, "Being my champion means that we'll go on adventures together, I'll make puzzles and challenges for you, and of course as your new best friend I'll give you anything you want!" Romeo said, smiling so hard his cheeks felt sore.

Jessie wasn't sure what to think. Of course he was flattered, I mean wouldn't everyone be if they had a literal god wanting to be their friend? but... Jessie wasn't much of a fighter. And challenges sounded like he would have to fight, but if Roemo chose him that ment he thought tphe had the talent, right? He bit his lip, he was starting to like Romeo, he seemed like a really great guy, scary? yes, dangerous? yes, evil? not likely considering he looked like a puppy right now. But what exactly did being his champion entail.

Taking a deep breath Jessie lifted his eyes to meet Romeo's, who had a (hopeful) expectant look.

"Well, what would being your champion entail?" seeing his slightly confused look which pretty much said ' I just told you, didn't i?'.

"As in, I would still be allowed to live here right? ya know things like that " Jessie explained, seeing understanding cross his face.

"Well of course! your house, your friends that won't change, but your schedule will" Romeo said happily. Was Jessie going to accept? he hoped so.

Jessie stared for a moment, looked down at his pig and then back at the Admin, at Romeo.

"I accept, I will be your champion Romeo"

The smile on Romeo's face was contagious as soon enough they were both smiling from ear to ear.

'Finally ' Romeo thought looking at the smiling boy playing with his pig, ' I finally have a friend'
