Outbound

He awoke in a coat of cold sweat. Chest raising and falling like a stormy oceans tide. Light that wasn't there last night peeked through the blinds warning him not to open them so hastily. His hand brushed against something. When he looked down he saw her, Jasper, fast asleep in nothing but her birthday suit under the blankets. Last night activities played on rewind over and over again till his face turned blue. No wonder why he felt so sore.

He couldn't believe what they did. When was the last time he had sex? Years. Shadow wanted to say it felt a lot like fusion. Two becoming one, no worries, no hate or anger. Just complete harmony.

Shadow let his hand run over her face through a few strands of hair. This really was perfect.

The reason Shadow had woken up the way he did was that of a nightmare. You can never have a piece of heaven without a little rain to dampen it. Of course, it was of what he had done in Beach City. The reason why he couldn't use his powers. It was agitating that he couldn't use them but he wouldn't fret. Shadow was human before he had the power or electricity, he felt more like a human without them. Shadow left the bed to let Jasper sleep without him bothering her any further. Before he left the room he pulled the blankets just in case she got cold.

Shadow started to make the necessary calls to fix the remaining issues in this past life. Paying six months worth of bills, quitting his job properly, calling the police to tell them he wasn't dead since Antoine's wife put a missing person report on him. She really did love taking care of him. By the time Jasper had woken up he had already packed a bag and gotten dressed in a button-up and jeans, over that he wore a black military type jacket. The landlord would be on the way in a few hours to start getting the value of everything he owned to sell it on his behalf, of course he would get some money but she was going to get a cut of it as well. Calling his old job and his landlord made him remember that not everything about this place was so bleak. Home might have been where the rent was due but the rent doesn't define it.

"Why do you have bags packed?" Jasper stood in the doorway, blanket clutched in her hands to her chest.

Shadow could feel his face warming up. "Hey weirdo why don't you put some clothes on!" He shouted. He was about to cover his face when Jasper started to chuckle.

A light appeared around her. Once the light dissipated Jasper now looked at him with her arms crossed a red button up shirt and black dress pants with suspenders. "Is this better?" She asked knowing the answer.

Shadow humphed at her before sitting down on the couch. Not even two seconds on the couch did Jasper come over to straddle him. The weight of her on him made the man groan. The creeping grin on his face told her that he wasn't going to object to it.

"Hey, I just want to say-" Her finger pressed against his lips. Shadow crept open one eye to see her giving him an annoyed look.

Jasper cupped his face in her hands. "I know it's going to be weird going back. Honestly I don't want to go," Jasper took a breath to get situated. Before she could continue Shadow grabbed her face in return.

"Your right it is going to be weird." Shadow laced his fingers through her hair to the back of her head. "I'm still mad, I'm still missing an eye but…" he started to pull her closer to his lips, so he could get a taste of that sin he craved since he saw her standing naked in the doorway. "I told you already I'm sick Jasper, and I'll be damned if someone finds a cure for it cause baby… I don't need no healen for what I'm feelin."

Jasper couldn't even protest his words before Shadow pulled into a kiss. "Oh no, he got me again." Jasper thought to herself with a smile between his kiss. "Damn you Shadow." The last words she could say before he let her pull him down for a few more hours of sin. At least before the landlord shows up.

Authors notes:

Hey sorry this chapter was short as hell. Been trying to watch all of Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood all night without crying cause this shit is sad. Of course that's not only the only thing that kind of made this chapter short. I had just recently finished season two of my hero academia and kind of gotten pumped watching it. For the past three hours I've been thinking of typing a fanfiction and I may just do it. With the way things have been going with season 5 of Steven Universe I want to wait for a few more episodes to come out so that I can get a sense of direction for the duration of the story. So please, if you enjoy my work then keep an eye out for a new story involving the MHA universe that I'll be coming up with hopefully within the next few days or sooner. With that, I hope everyone enjoys their day and as always continue kicking ass.

Shadowsamurai out...
