Smoke, SubZero, Kitana, Jade, and Skarlet were chilling in Scorpion's house while they waited for him and Mileena going shopping. Ermac knocked on the door waiting on Scorpion but Smoke opened the door.
"Hey what's up man?" Smoke said.
"What's good? Err... where's Scorpion?" Ermac asked.
"He went to the store with Mileena a couple minutes ago," Smoke said.
Ermac went passed Smoke, SubZero and Kitana was playing Mortal Kombat X, Jade and Skarlet was just talking to each other in the living room. Ermac greeted everyone and then went in the kitchen next to the living room.
"So Scorpion is not here, so... what kind of snacky snacks does he have" Ermac said looking through his cabinets.
"Hey man I wouldn't do that if I were you," SubZero said while waiting for the loading screen.
"Man if you don't shut yo-"
Ermac was cut off went he opened a cabinet when a spear came flying towards him but he dodged it just in time. It flew across the kitchen through the living room, hitting the wall. They heard Scorpion's voice coming from the spear.
"Ermac get out of my cabinet," it said.
"Oooooooooh, roasted" Smoke said.
Everyone laughed.
"Damn ok" Ermac said, sounding surprised.
Ermac POV
Scorpion and Mileena arrived from shopping a moment ago. We were playing the game and Smoke was playing darts with Scorpion's abnormally huge sharp darts.
"Hey guys. You want to help get the bags." Scorpion said.
"Sure we will," we said.
"Oh Scorpion, wtf is that?" We asked, pointing at the spear.
"So you don't get in my cabinets. Look, I went to the store to get some snacks so you should be good" he said.
"Alright cool" we said.
"Hey Smoke, watch yourself man" Scorpion said.
"Ok. I'll be careful," Smoke said.
3 minutes later...
Scorpion did a lot of shopping. Maybe he had food stamps because we do not make that much money from our music. Maybe also it is because of his job. We went outside to go get more bags but then we went back in to tell him if there are any more bags. We opened the door and Smoke threw a dart right below our lip. We screamed in pain and we were bleeding pretty badly.
"Oh shit sorry. I thought you were getting another bag" Smoke apologized.
"...It's ok Smoke" we said, covering my cut while it dripped blood.
"Damn you're bleeding bad dude," SubZero said walking over to us.
"We'll be fine," we said.
"Here I can stop the bleeding" Skarlet said.
"No we're fine" we said, but pulled us to Scorpion's bathroom to get a better look at our cut.
"Move your hand," Skarlet said
"We're okay," we said.
Skarlet pulled our hand away from our face with one hand. We did not realize how much this woman was that strong. She looked at our cut, pausing for a moment. We wonder why she is just staring at our cut. She moved in closer, taking off her mask while doing so, and grabbed our biceps. Skarlet began to lick and kiss the blood from our cut. We felt her tongue run across our cut.
"What are you doing?" we said.
She did not say anything. It was as if she forgot we were here, even though she licking the blood off above our chin.
"Skarlet" we tried again.
No response from her. She was still slurping the blood off our cut. She suddenly stopped to look at us. Skarlet looked like she was going to kiss us but we leaned our head back and slightly pushed her from us.
"What was that all about?" we asked, realizing that our cut stopped bleeding.
"I'm sorry I got carried away. Blood drives me crazy," Skarlet said.
"Why?"
"Because I'm a hemomancer and it tastes good"
"What?"
"Anyway are you okay?"
"Yes. Thank you Skarlet"
We were about to walk out of the bathroom until Skarlet grabbed our arm.
"What's wrong?" we said.
"Listen, I have to tell you something," she said.
"What?"
"Well I figured you know by now that I have a crush on you. And it's true" she said.
We tilted our head slightly and listened.
"You might've known that from yesterday and I thought maybe it was a sign," she said.
"But you were drunk, and a sign for what?" we said.
"Well what I'm trying to say is that... I was wondering if you wanted to..."
We knew what she was going to ask us. We did not know she ask this soon because of our incident. Without recoiling, we hugged her.
She hugged back, but with more character than we did when she hugged us from gym class.
"Yes. We will," we said.
We walked out of the bathroom with Skarlet clinging onto our arm as we walked downstairs. Everyone looked surprised when she wrapped her arms around our arms.
"What took you guys so long?" Kitana said, in a teasing tone.
"It's a long story," we said.
Now that we have a girlfriend, this year will be the best year of school ever.
