Henrie walks by Fakir's room. "Hey Fakir." "Hey." He pokes his head inside. "You wanna know where Leo is right now?" "No." Henrie walks in. "Well I'll tell you anyways." "Joy."
Henrie sits down by Fakir's bed. It's become his usual spot now. "He's with Ahiruuuuuu." Fakir turns away. "What do you want me to do about it?"
Henrie wants to strangle Fakir by now. "Hello! You're just gonna let her slip away from you because you made one lousy mistake? Seriously, that seems kind of babyish."
Ignore him Fakir. He'll go away if you ignore him.
Henrie senses he's pushing Fakir. "I mean, you're right. Someone as pretty as Ahiru needs to be with my brother. He would probably stick by her all the time."
Ignore. Ignore….
"And not withdraw into a corner just because he thinks she doesn't love him anymore." Henrie plasters a cheesy smile on his face. "I guess she doesn't love you then."
That's probably true…
A new thought comes to Henrie's mind. "You know, if I wasn't paying attention I would think you fell out of love with Ahiru." Henrie thinks about this. "Yeah, that's probably what happened."
What!
"And you just want to let her suffer by letting her think that she should love you, when the whole time you don't! Like, chasing after uhhh." Henrie tries to remember the phrase Leo throws around sometimes. "Hopeless love. Yup, you just want to hurt her inside." Henrie sits back to see what damage he has caused.
That does it…!
Fakir reaches out and grabs Henrie by the shirt. "What did you say?!" Maybe my plan worked a little too well…
Fakir shakes the boy. "Say it!" Henrie's voice comes out in a whisper. "That you wanted to hurt A-Ahiru inside all along…" Fakir is in his face now. "Look, I could put up with you insulting me but when you say ANYTHING on how I would HURT Ahiru on PURPOSE then you have TOTALLY crossed the line, got it?"
Henrie's head is disappearing inside his shirt, like a turtle. "Got it." "Good."
Fakir drops Henrie. "I could get her back if I wanted to. I just don't want to force her." "Ooo. Tough guy." Fakir smirks. "No, actually you need to be a Writer. Guy." Henrie gives him a blank stare. "Get me some paper and a pen." "Okkkk." Henrie rushes out to get the supplies. As Henrie runs down the hallway he sees Leo next to Ahiru's bed. Talking. Henrie does a double-take.
He's holding her hand?! Oh boy, good thing Fakir still in bed.
Henrie rushes in. "Took you long enough." "Yeah well…" …I was just watching your Ahiru get her hand held by my brother. "Are you watching?" "What, yeah."
Fakir holds the pen, hand shaking. So, do I really want to do this? Fakir sighs. To get Ahiru back, yeah. Fakir looks up at Henrie. "Where's your brother?" "Oh well actually, umm. About that. Yeah." Henrie looks down. "Yeah?" Henrie backs up before telling Fakir. "With…Ahiru." "I told you to keep him away from her." "Yeah, but he's like, five years older than me! Which means he's bigger, and yeah…" Henrie looks up timidly to see Fakir, who does not look happy at all. "Do you trust me?" Henrie looks up. "You? Not really…" "Good, you shouldn't." "Okay. Then." This guy is getting weirder and weirder…
Henrie watches as Fakir starts scribbling something. "What are you-?" "Shh." Henrie slumps back into his chair. "Sorry." Fakir smiles. "Done." "With…?" All of a sudden from Fakir's room the pair could hear someone knocking on the front door. "I'll get it," Leo yells to Fakir and Henrie." Henrie rolls his eyes. "Wow, amazing." "Read what I wrote." Henrie stares down at the paper.
What the? It says the front door then knocked, and the annoying, full of himself, egotistic,-. Henrie whistled at the many "descriptive" adjectives written after this to describe Leo. "Nice." Fakir merely grunts in response, and mumbles. "It's true you know."
"So you're gonna make it so Ahiru forgets about Leo?" Fakir stares at Henrie like he's an idiot. "Why would I do that? I could never control people's feelings." "What?! You could do anything if what you write comes true!" "Yeah, and thus why I won't do it." Henrie gapes at Fakir. "Okay, I already thought you were dumb before for not being brave enough to get her, but knowing you CAN and you won't!" Henrie just shakes his head in disbelief. "You have some real mental problems going for you."
This is going nowhere! I have to rush my plan I guess. Henrie yells out the door. "Leo!" "Coming." Fakir glares at Henrie. "What are you doing?!" Henrie puts on an innocent face. "Nothing, just speeding things along…" "What?!"
Leo enters. "Yeah Henrie?" "You do know the name of this guy right?" Leo gives Henrie a blank stare. "Uhh. No. He won't talk to me remember?" Fakir could be heard muttering something under his breath. "You're damn right I won't talk to you." Henrie turns. "What was that…FAKIR?" Fakir curses under his breath. Leo stares at Fakir in shock. "You're Fakir?" "Yeah." Leo smiles. "I thought Ahiru was going crazy when she said there was a guy named Fakir." He crosses his arms. "I mean, she said he turned her back into a girl from a duck, saved her from a lake by dancing, and wrote stories that became real." Fakir narrowed his eyes. "She told you that?" "Yeah." Leo smiles. "If I didn't think she was cute I would have thought her for a nutcase."
Nutcase!
Fakir springs out of bed and rushes to Leo. "You think she's cute." "Yeah! Who wouldn't?" "Just stay away from her." Leo laughs. "Why should I listen to you? You're not the one she wants to see now. She's moved on." Fakir glares at Henrie. "You said she mentioned my name a lot." Henrie shifts around. "Yeah…Used to. I mean, she would probably change her mind if she saw you." Leo interjects. "But she won't." Fakir backs Leo against the wall. "Who's going to stop me?" Leo pushes back Fakir. "Well, me for one thing."
Henrie just watches this with interest. Man, I hope things aren't his crazy when I start to like girls.
Then Leo gives Fakir one mighty shove against the wall. Hard. The noises could be heard by Ahiru. "What's going on in there?" Fakir's about to tell Ahiru he's here when Leo swiftly clamps his hand over Fakir's mouth. "Nothing Ahiru…" Fakir, desperate to have his presence known does the only thing he could do in the moment.
He bites Leo's hand.
"Yeeeeoo!" Leo cradles his bitten hand. "Leo?" Ahiru's voice is coming closer. "Nothing, Henrie just bit me. Troublesome little squirt." Then Ahiru giggled. Fakir's heart sank. He wasn't all that sure about girls and giggling but he was certain that was a flirtatious giggle.
She never giggled like that for me… Fakir stays against the wall. She likes Leo… Leo, seeing Fakir defeated on the ground smirks. "I told you."
"No!" Henrie knew Leo wasn't playing fair. He rushes out to the hall and grabs Ahiru's good arm. "Look who's here." "Henrie." Leo grabs him out of the way and stands in place of the doorway in front of the defeated Fakir. "Oh." "Yes Ahiru, I'm here." Fakir watches the whole scene. Then Leo decides to push his victory further.
In a swift movement Leo leans down and kisses Ahiru. Forcefully.
Fakir is trapped once again in his mind. He notices the kiss, and knows his fate. She's chosen…
Fakir turns his face away, but suddenly stops.
"Ack! Leo stop it!" Fakir sees Ahiru try to push Leo away. "Why Ahiru? You know this is what you want…" Leo is forcing Ahiru closer to him. "No! Stop! I like Fakir!" Leo just breaks the kiss and laughs. "He's dead Ahiru."
Fakir feels the anger swelling up inside him.
"D-E-A-D! And don't worry, even though you killed him I'm here to forgive you." "What, no. That's not right!" Leo backs her up against the wall. "Yes it is!" Leo grabs her wrists in a prison hold against the wall. "I'm here now Ahiru." Ahiru stares up at Leo, and remembers that this very same scene happened with Fakir. When he caught her snooping around after he locked Mytho in a closest. "Get away!" Then Ahiru cries.
Fakir's heart feels like it was stabbed. "You jerk!" Fakir rushes from behind and pulls Leo away. All the fury building up inside of him through this whole ordeal is finally let out.
Fakir throws punches left and right. "YOU DO NOT MAKE HER CRY!"
Finally, Fakir throws one good punch to knock Leo out. Henrie helps Ahiru up. "You guys should run." "Yeah…" Ahiru stops crying and looks up. Fakir turns toward Ahiru, and smiles when he sees her. Her eyes once again fill the void that was left in his heart. "F-Fakir…" She rushes to hug him but he stops her. "Not here."
Fakir grabs Ahiru's arm and Henrie leads them out. He whispers one last thing to Fakir. "You know, I still think you're crazy." Fakir just scowls at him as the door closes.
And I still think you're annoying.
"Fakir, now?" He smiles at her. "Not yet." And with that he wraps his arm around her shoulder and together they walk to wherever Fakir has in mind…
