Chapter 12
Bastion found himself in his pajamas outside Meg's hotel room. He didn't know whether or not he should walk in or knock. He paced around the door a few times and thought now you are just worrying for no reason; I highly doubt she'd care. He knocked on the door like the gentleman that he was raised to be by his father.
"Come on in," Bastion heard Meg say. He opened the door to see the wet-headed Meg wearing white tube top and blue shorts. Why she was wearing that was completely beyond Bastion's comprehension. It had to either part of her plan to get revenge on his family, or the heat was getting to her.
"So here's my plan," said Meg sitting down on her bed, "we sleep in the same bed…"
Bastion quickly cut her off, "Are you kidding? My parents will think that I…that you…that we." She put a finger to his lips.
"Hear me out," replied Meg, "So that's a disgrace to your family, right? So your parents would be really mad if they thought you did that. They're sending either Raoul or Wesley to wake everyone up in the morning. So when one of them sees, they'll flip tell your mom and dad, and they'll go ballistic. While they are going crazy for no reason at all, you can be laughing at them." Bastion wondered how that would turn out except that'd there would most definitely be more yelling.
"Well, I do wear pajamas to bed, won't they see that?" inquired Bastion nervously. That had to be something that she hadn't thought of.
"You can sleep shirtless. It wouldn't faze me at all," Meg answered calmly. Of course, she wouldn't have any problem with that at all. She quickly glanced at her boyfriend who was figuring all the consequences of her plan.
"Fine, let's go," agreed Bastion standing up from his spot on the chair in her room. They strolled out of Meg's room casually and headed towards his room after Meg locked the door.
Meg jumped into Bastion's bed as soon as he had opened the door. She snuggled under the sheets attempting to keep her warm. Bastion kissed her forehead and smiled. "I need a shower so I'll be there in a second," he said. Meg nodded in understanding making her head sink into the pillow. Bastion wondered if she would even be awake by the time he came back from getting clean.
By the time Bastion came out from the shower clean and shirtless, Meg was almost asleep. He slipped under the sheet only to feel the cotton of the sheets be wrapped around him. Meg started messing with Bastion's wet black hair.
"Are you having fun?" asked the drowsy Bastion. He thought I need my sleep and why is she messing around with my hair?
"Yes, and now you have messy hair," agreed Meg who fell asleep as soon she spoke those words quietly. Bastion nodded off to sleep as well into a quiet dreamless slumber.
"Oh my god!" screamed Raoul shocked that morning since he was the one with the job to wake up the Duel Academy students. Meg's eyes fluttered open. She shivered feeling the cold air against her bare shoulders. And so it begins thought Meg as she watched Raoul who was screaming like a small child who was sent to see a horror film. Bastion woke up to see Meg smiling evilly. He blushed noticing that he had an arm around her waist.
"Good morning, darling," said Meg stretching like a cat.
"Hey honey, are you ready to face my judgmental family at their worst?" asked Bastion making Meg laugh. She closed her eyes and smiled hearing more of Raoul's screeching.
"Of course," said Meg jumping out of bed. "Damn it's cold!" She snuck out of Bastion's room to get into her hotel room and get some clothes that weren't merely shorts and a tube-top.
By the time, both Meg and Bastion were ready and out of their hotel rooms everyone was waiting for them in the library confused, laughing, or extremely angry such as Taniya and Bastion's family. Meg mischievously brushed past Bastion making him wrap his arms around her waist. He swore to himself that he'd never let her go.
"What the hell, Bastion James Misawa?" demanded a very angry mother. Bastion smiled and thought that's an expression I don't remember her using. He shrugged casually.
"Don't give your mother that attitude," demanded Bastion's step-parent. He sighed bored as instructed by Meg. Usually, he wouldn't dare to do this kind of thing, but today he had to.
"I'll handle this, John," snarled Bastion's mother, "Honey, don't you want to go to heaven? You know better." Bastion smirked as his mind said If I go to hell, it'd be because I don't want to go to heaven and be around you lunatics.
"Well, neither exist so no worries then," said Bastion, crossing a boundary not meant to be crossed, but before his mother could vent, Meg stood up and yawned.
"Listening to this stuff is such a drag," Meg yawned, "Let's go!" She grabbed Bastion's hand eagerly and they ran to the hotel entrance. Bastion's mother frowned at the idea of her son even being around him.
"If you go with her, you'll be disbanded from the family," his mother called. Bastion turned around swiftly and thought she couldn't do that, but I can't leave Meg. I owe that much to her. Oh well, I don't really like my family anyways. Bastion left with Meg leaving the rest of the Misawa family dumbstruck.
Mew Kazurinu: Yes, that was the lamest, most ingenious plan ever. So what happens next? What is Taniya thinking about this whole mess? What will the Misawa family do next? Maybe, it will all be in the next chapter, but I am not making any promises.
