Chapter 8: Bring Us A Higher Love! Fanfictional Love of the Ages! Socks and Peyton Touhey, Together at Last!
It was a long day.
The Milky Squad had returned home to their home worlds for the day, as only a few hours had passed in their home worlds since they left their worlds...
Well, most of them, anyways.
Killer had gone into the Chaotic World, and had applied as a teacher to Kaz and Tom's school.
Kaz was not sure how to feel about this, but Tom reassured him it was fine.
"He's not gonna get into a relationship with a student, he knows better." Tom said, reassuring him.
Kaz rolled his eyes.
"That's not what I'm worried about, Tom, even though that itself would be very worrying if it was possible."
Tom looked confused.
"Then what are you worried about?"
"More portals opening up, mostly."
Tom rolled his eyes.
"Eh, it'll be fine. We always seem to get out of these situations in the end."
Kaz stared Tom right in his baby blue eyes.
"Do we always, though?" Kaz asked Tom, trying to pin him down.
Tom blinked at Kaz like that one meme gif of the guy blinking weirdly, but said nothing.
"That's what I thought." Kaz responded.
Peyton had followed Socks to his world, as Socks wanted to introduce Peyton to the Adventurer's Club, and then boot him back home to his home world, the Chaotic world, later.
"Everyone, this is my new boyfriend, Peyton Touhey."
Practically everyone in the Adventurer's Club liked him...
Except for Harvey.
You see, Harvey was born in a rich family, and you know what they say about rich families and their wants and needs to oppress those underneath them.
Harvey was no different, but at least he was playing nice...
For now.
Peyton was really worried about Harvey, in particular, so he could see through his facade, and Socks couldn't.
"Dude... I think he's homophobic..." He winced, as he held onto Socks' hand tightly.
Socks rolled his eyes, shrugging.
"Yeah, I know. The year's 1972, though, so I wouldn't put it past him."
Peyton looked disgusted.
"You'd excuse homophobia?"
Socks said nothing, frowning a bit.
He had no other choice.
Hikaru overheard some people talking about religion as she walked through the portal.
Eugene was being chastised by Whit, as Whit was telling him "not to make such devices ever again".
Eugene was just about to cry, which was unusual for him.
Hikaru saw this, and...
A pink light shone from her, as she glared at Whit in anger.
She suddenly transformed, scaring the crap out of Eugene, Whit and Connie, which the latter was just passing by the room.
Hikaru, now christened as Cure Star, did her speech and pose.
"The shining star that shines throughout the universe! Cure Star!"
Whit shook, his eyes wide.
"This is anti-God." He said in a soft, wavy voice.
Only Eugene knew what was going on, as Whit got a fist to the face.
Socks was walking down the street with Peyton, holding hands as Socks closed his eyes, putting his head on Peyton's shoulder.
Peyton smiled warmly, as he booped Socks' nose with his own nose, feeling very satisfied with himself.
"Socks... I love you. And I thought I didn't like men romantically, but..."
His eyes shone a bit.
"I just love you."
Socks smiled warmly, looking away, playing with his long black hair.
"I... love you too." Socks responded, his deep, gruff voice unusually soft.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of an engine revving, causing Socks and Peyton to turn around.
Harvey was driving his parent's fancy limo on the sidewalk...
And was headed right for Peyton and Socks!
"No!" Socks shouted, trying to pull Peyton away.
But Peyton was like a deer in the headlights.
And yet...
A green light shone from him.
After Eugene explained to Hikaru what was going on, Hikaru still wasn't having it.
"Listen to me, Eugene. I don't know what it is about Whit, but he is not glitterific! He is anti-science, and thinks God is the greatest thing to ever exist, and... and..."
Her face got red.
"ASTRONOMY IS TECHNICALLY A SCIENCE!" She shouted loudly and shrilly, almost causing Connie to drop her coffee cup.
Eugene nodded, eyeing Hikaru closely, adjusting his glasses.
"Yes, I americanize he's got an indeterminate amount to learn, young Hoshina."
Hikaru clenched her fists, not listening to what Eugene said.
"What the crap kinda world is this, where some weird old man in the sky dictates everything a person does, or else they are "going to hell"? What even is Hell? I know for certain we're just all buried in the ground after death! What else is there to know?"
Connie gasped, about to run off, when Eugene spotted her.
"Constance!" He shouted, making Connie look towards Eugene in fear and sadness.
Eugene looked at Connie, then at Hikaru.
"I don't familiarize with how well-constructed your impecuniousness is, to misappropriate down all our beliefs, but..."
Hikaru crossed her arms, her right eyebrow twitching.
"But we conceptualize you, sincerely. Your skimble-skamble is not dematerializing to discombobulate our overenthusiastically overweeningness in God, but we familiarize conscientiously where you're appropinquating from, and we extraordinarily understand."
He looked at Whit, twitching on the floor.
"Did you really have to beat Whit up, though? He's extraordinarily old."
One short transformation sequence later...
"The willpower of the Milky Squad! Milky Squad... Eagle Will!" Peyton, now christened as Eagle Will, shouted, doing a pose.
Harvey stopped the car just a few inches from Eagle Will's belly.
And got out.
"Dude, what the crap?" Harvey asked.
"I was gonna run you down, and kill you! You don't just transform like that when-"
Harvey was interrupted by Eagle Will slapping him.
Repeatedly.
"Don't! Be! Homophobic!"
Harvey yelped, and then backed up.
He grabbed a trash can in defense, and threw it at Eagle Will.
Eagle Will dodged, pulling out his sword.
Harvey threw four other trash cans at him, as Eagle Will slashed them apart, and started glowing in a really bright green light.
Harvey knew he was screwed, right then and there, as his eyes went REALLY wide.
Eagle Will raised up his sword, that glowed as bright of a green as Eagle Will himself.
"Let my willpower guide my way through the darkness! Sword of Willpower!"
Harvey yelled, as he was knocked out by the attack.
Socks walked over, and spit on Harvey.
"That's revenge for sports day, you homophobic son of a female dog."
Eagle Will turned back into Peyton, as he rubbed his temples.
"Hey... what happened?" He asked, wincing in pain.
Socks looked at Harvey, and then back at Peyton.
"You kicked a homophobe's butt, that's what happened."
Peyton's eyes went wide.
"So I blacked out?"
Socks paused.
Then shrugged.
"Technically, you did. But we're alive, so that's all that matters."
Peyton grabbed Socks, smiling wide.
Socks blushed, and held onto Peyton's hand.
And then the two kissed.
Harvey was found guilty of five counts of vandalism, and for Grand Theft Auto of his parent's limousine.
However, he escaped his sentence (Community service, and juvie), as he was hired by the Milky Squad to be a part of their team by Socks' recommendations.
"Why did you forgive me, Socks?" Harvey asked, looking up with pleading eyes.
"I tried to kill your boyfriend."
Socks paused, and then smiled.
"I sense ultimate good in you... you just need to unlearn a lot of stuff."
Socks patted his hand on Harvey's shoulder, as Harvey's eyes went real wide.
"And... if Peyton can come to terms with his sexuality, I'm sure you can come to terms to the fact that gay people exist."
Harvey nodded, tears in his eyes, clenching his fists.
"I won't let you down, Socks! I promise I will treat you and Peyton better!"
Socks walked away out of the room, but then paused, and looked behind himself at Harvey.
"You better." He said in a strangely calm tone.
And then he walked out of the room.
