Thoughts


Amon

The fates truly have an odd sense of humour. They must enjoy tormenting those like me. I did not know what I did to deserve this little bird of mine. No, she is not mine, though I long for it. I long to run my fingers through her soft, silky hair. I long to have her body next to mine, and know that she is mine. She is a blessing, and a curse all at once.

I have never been like this in all the many years of my life. I have never experienced such feeling and it torments me to no end. Every night I dream about her. It's like she's my drug. But I could never let it show.

I must remain behind these barriers I have created, for the sake of all of us.


Night passed by and to Amon it was one of the longest nights ever. He slept restlessly, always conscience of the body on the other side of the bed. Finally he couldn't take it anymore. He got out of the bed and went to take a shower, to clear his mind.

Robin awoke to the sounds of birds chirping outside of the window. She opened her eyes and registered where she was. The events of the previous day came back to her.

Oh I am here, she thought. She glanced to the side of the bed, where Amon should've been. But where is Amon? Her thought was answered when she smelled the scent of coffee brewing. She pushed back the comforter that covered her and headed towards the kitchen where she did find Amon.

"Good morning," she greeted. Amon did not reply. This did not phase her though. She had gotten used to him being like this. But she did wish that he would just smile at least. Instead of worrying on about it, she headed towards the cupboards and took out a white mug. She filled it up with fresh coffee and waited for it to cool a bit.

While she waited for the coffee to cool, she reached into another cupboard and took out the bread. Taking two slices, she put them on a plate and heated them with her craft, since she didn't happen to find a toaster while she was going through the kitchen. When they were to her satisfaction she took the plate and the mug and put it on the little table that they had ate at the previous night. She headed towards the refrigerator and took out a bottle of strawberry jam that she had found. Grabbing a butter knife, she started to spread the jam and began eating the toast. After her first bite, she looked up at Amon.

"Do you want a piece?" she asked.

"No." Amon left the kitchenette and headed towards the bed, and from his duffle bag he pulled out Doujima's magazine. Robin raised her eyebrow in question at the magazine but then shrugged and resumed eating.

Amon read the magazine which he had assumed had belonged to Doujima at one point. He opened it and found himself looking at a whole bunch of models in tight shirts and mini skirts. He turned the page and found himself looking at the table of contents. He turned a couple of more pages and found himself looking at a bunch of clothing and makeup kit. He wondered why on earth anyone would enjoy reading about this stuff. He turned a couple of pages and found himself looking at a picture of a celebrity who had turned out to be a dangerous witch that they had caught several weeks ago. He turned a couple of more pages and found the article that was mentioned on the title page: How to Please a Woman.

How to Please a Woman

1. Consider her needs, consider her feelings: Try to look through her eyes for once and see what's going on in life for her.

2. Don't tell her she's PMS-ing every time she gets pissed: Ask her what's going on and give her some sympathy. Never tell her she's PMS-ing. That's a good way to get in her bad books.

3. Don't treat her like an object: A woman is not a thing. She can breathe, think, etc.. Treat her like an equal.

4. Tell her how much you mean to her: This usually gets to all girls. Women appreciate to have themselves known to be cared and loved.

5. She's not fragile: A woman isn't as fragile as she looks. Give her room. Don't be so overprotected. Let her do her thing. Let her breathe.

These were just some of what was mentioned. Amon frowned over every single word. Was this what women really wanted? He would never understand women. Then again, most men didn't and Amon was definitely 100 man.

Robin finished her breakfast and cleaned up. She then headed towards where Amon was sitting by the bed. She managed to get a glimpse of what Amon was reading. How to Please a Woman. Robin stood there shocked for a moment, then pulled herself together. There must be something wrong with Amon. She worried for a bit. Was he getting sick?

Deciding to ask him later, she unzipped her suitcase and laid it on the floor. She never really did have a chance to get a closer look at what was actually in there. To her surprise, most of it wasn't hers originally. In fact, she didn't see a single piece of clothing that she normally wore. She didn't see her black dress, she didn't see the dress that she wore on top of her black dress. Instead she saw regular teenage clothes. She frowned. What happened to her clothes! Sighing she decided to pick a pair of faded blue jeans with a black long sleeved shirt that had a v-shaped neckline in the front and back. She headed into the bathroom and changed.

Amon glanced after Robin. He stared at the bathroom door for a while, then shook his head and shoved the magazine back in the duffle bag. He still didn't understand why females enjoyed reading that stuff.

Robin came out of the bathroom, changed. She headed towards the bed and folded her pajamas and put them on top of the suitcase.

"Should we fold the bed back up?" she asked.

"It does not matter." Robin decided not to. Instead, she made the bed.

"Would you like to watch a movie?" Robin asked, motioning towards the stack of DVDs.

Amon shrugged. "Fine." There was nothing better to do. Robin smiled slightly and headed towards the stack. There she glanced at some of the titles. Legally Blond, Rush Hour, Shrek I and Shrek II, Mean Girls, Lord of the Rings I, II, and III, The Ring, The Exorcist, It, Jeepers Creepers I and II, etc., etc.. Luckily she only glanced at the top of the stack, and didn't see the one DVD on the bottom of the stack.

"There are so many to choose from. Which one would you like to see, Amon?"

Amon shrugged. But he got up anyway and went over to the stack. He quickly scanned the stack and saw the video at the bottom. A porno video. His eyes narrowed once more. Someone was definitely going to pay. How could they have put so much of these things in here when they knew Robin was.... His co-workers had better be prepared because as soon as he got out of here.... With his hands on a gun, who knows what will happen.

He quickly grabbed the random DVD and the one on the bottom without Robin noticing. He handed the DVD to Robin. His hand brushed hers and a slight tingle of electricity ran up their spines. Amon acted as if nothing happened while Robin turned her head away, blushing slightly. She fumbled opening the DVD case and Amon headed to the bed, slipping the porno DVD under the mattress. Robin pressed play on the DVD player and closed the curtain. Amon sat down on the bed and leaned back against the bed rest. Robin took the remote control and sat down on the bed hesitantly, with her cheeks blushing slightly, she laid down on her stomach and started the movie.

The DVD that Amon had grabbed turned out to be Shrek. Not exactly the type of movie Amon watched, but then again, no one was even sure he actually watched movies. Come to think of it, no one knew what he did except hunt witches and boss people around. Oh and the occasional trip to Harry's.

The movie passed on, with the occasional giggle from Robin who was enjoying herself. She had only watched a movie once and this was her chance to watch many. She found that she liked watching movies and thought to do it more, though she never really got the chance to.

Amon, as usual remained impassive. There was so much unknown about him, and he preferred it like that. The less that broke through his carefully wrought barriers, the better. Of course, he couldn't say the same about a little birdie.

Though he hated to admit it, he did kind of enjoy this. He spent time near Robin, no witches, no interruptions, just time together. Of course that meant that he had to be on guard even more, lest something... happened. He didn't dare act on impulse.

Maybe he was getting soft. He certainly felt like it. He got up and headed to the bathroom.

Robin felt him leave. She felt his presence leave, and she somehow felt a bit empty. However she ignored it, or rather, she tried to. The movie beckoned and she submitted to it. It was easier this way. That way she wouldn't have to think about it too much. It hurt a bit to think about what she felt about Amon.

She didn't really know what to think about this whole situation. Sure it seemed like fun, being able to spend time with him, no interruptions, no witches to hunt, and she could get to know him more. And she got to be near him. But it seemed that he hated her. He always seemed so distant from her. She cared for him. Hell, she loved him. She knew it wasn't some silly little crush. It seemed so much more. She had never loved before, but she was pretty sure she knew what it was.

But Amon.... It always ended back to him. He was a lot older than her. But she didn't care. It didn't matter. Love was love. But in his eyes, she was probably just some annoying tag-along. She sighed. She shouldn't be thinking about this. She didn't want to anyway. It just hurt.

Amon returned from the bathroom and sat back down where he was before and Robin somehow felt more completed and the hurt died away a bit. Just a bit.

Love shouldn't hurt, should it? She wouldn't really know though. She had never felt this way ever.


There's the end of another chapter! I hoped you guys liked it. And I hope I kept Amon in character. Man that guy is hard to write about.

Oh yeah, by the way, I'm very sorry for not uploading this yesterday. For some unknown reason the chapter wouldn't upload and it was getting late. I'm sorry!


Thanks to the following for reviewing!

Amon's Angel of Darkness: Yes, I'm afraid I'll have to agree with you. The first thought bubble was more interesting. Tekken4, that's a pretty cool game. I bought it for a friend of mine for his birthday. I like Soul Caliber II more though. Spanish isn't that bad. I used to learn it when I was in daycare. Chinese is a lot worse. Trust me.

Lucifer's Garden: I'm glad you liked the chapter and didn't find it boring. I don't know what I'd do if I was in Amon's place. Poor guy, first condoms, porn magazines and now a porno video. Poor guy. I'd be traumatized. )

Sakura Blossom-Cilla-85:P: Yes, I agree with you. It probably won't be pretty. LOL. Careful with your ass there. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to fall off.

Koharu-Soma: I'm sorry about the name thing. I guess I just kind of misread it. A and O look pretty alike. No offense taken. And you can't die on me! I need my readers!
