Bad Luck Kid 5
Aaand we're back with more Bad Luck Kid~! I'm so glad you all enjoy the work we've been putting into this! It makes us very happy! :'D But anywayz, let's get on with the show. Enjoy!
"So, Tyrone...what was it you wanted to tell me?" It was the weekend and Ty was awesome enough to pay me a visit, despite Dad shrieking like a little girl and hiding under the couch at first. I promise to give him a verbal lashing later. But right now, we're in my room, sitting around my table.
"Yes...I mentioned it yesterday. About...my troubled past." He took one more sip of the juice before talking. I wonder what could have possibly happened...
"See, I...used to have someone that I loved very much. Much like Lucifer to you."
"Let's NOT use that example, please!"
"Aha hah hah. But yes, she was my very first...and very last love of my life. Her name was Sylvia. I can assume you know what Pokemon she is..."
"Yeah...a Sylveon."
He nodded his head. "Correct. I met her in this very school three years ago, back when both girls and boys attended this school." So girls DID attend this school...but not by the time I come here, of course. *sigh* "Because of her adorable looks and lively personality, she was loved and admired by everyone. Men filled with hope that they would catch her eye, women envying her and wishing to be her...I never would have guessed that...she would like a guy like me."
Before I started up my DS, I asked, "Were you one of the guys that liked her?"
"No...as I ever really concentrated on my schoolwork and reading novels. She, one day, came to me, professing her love to me. Of course, I thought it was another mere trap for the popular students to attempt to make fun of me. But the look in her eyes and the tone in her voice...she was telling the truth, and as time went by, I began to realize how much I loved this girl. This girl who stood up for me, taught me how to be more assertive, and not to be shy to express my love for...cute things."
"Yeah...I can see." I said bluntly, looking at the teddy bear raglan tee he has on. He really is a gentle giant. "So...what happened? What made everything fall apart?"
"..." He looked down, as if he didn't want to continue saying anymore. Maybe I shouldn't be so persistent.
"Y-You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." I said sheepishly, trying to hide my grunt of anger from this enemy killing me on my game just now. He shook his head.
"It's alright. It's okay...I can tell you. It happened in junior year, the year right before you came. It was on that special night, or rather, prom night. It was especially vivid that year, because it was the last year before this school turned into one of all males. That was when IT happened...the famed "Girl No More" incident."
That made me pause my game and set it down. "G..."Girl No More"? What in the world is that...?!"
"It is a story that almost everyone who's been here since the last three years know about, and the reason why females could not attend this school anymore. That "prom" night was actually one big, unspeakable act of the men to take that opportunity to do...horrific actions to their female friends or girlfriends."
"No...you don't mean..."
"Yes...the men brutally raped those girls. I couldn't believe it when I saw it: screams of sheer pain coming from them, and crying. I, shamefully, used violence to seize those men from their actions, but I worried desperately for Sylvia, who had left me for a short while to go to the bathroom. When I entered the bathroom, she was there, along with a group of guys. And in that moment, I heard her say those words:"
"Ahh, how unfortunate for those poor girls. They can't blame me if I'm throwing wads of cash to those men to brutally rape their girlfriends for my own amusement and for their misfortune, ah hah hah hah! And I bet that lonely loser "boyfriend" of mine will be trying to come and save me, even though I was the one behind all this!"
Tyrone covered his face with his hands. Meanwhile, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I...I should comfort him somehow, as his friend. But...how?
In an out of character moment I went up to him and gave Tyrone a hug; well, as close of a hug as I could get with him being so big. I... I've never had ANYTHING like that happen to me or anyone but...the pain he must have felt.
"I know what I say can't change what happened... But I'm here for you like you were there for me."
He returned my hug and dug his face into my shoulder. Screw being manly and shit! I'm his friend!
We stayed like that for a few minutes and when he calmed down I asked him "So what happened after that?"
"I confronted her. She tried to act as her nice and bubbly facade when she saw me, but I knew better. I turned her in to the police when they arrived and the women were transported to the hospital. I suggested to the top boards of the district to only allow male students, so that prom and that incident could never possibly happen again."
"Wow..." This guy...he really is awesome. To go through such a thing and still be such a nice guy...that takes a lot. "And so...you've decided to..."
"Yes. I'll...never fall in love again, for as long as I live. I...I don't want to go through such a thing ever again. I cried heavily after it all." Geez, knowing my luck, that'll probably happen to ME, but even worse. "Aah...to have revealed this story to you, I actually feel better, now. Thank you for listening to me, Alan. If you ever fall in love..." He placed his hand on my hand. "May it be eternal and forever happy."
"Lovely words of wisdom, grandpa." We both laughed and I got up to get my charger since my thing's going red, but I trip over one of the cords on the floor and trip. "Gyaaah!"
"Ah!" Thankfully, Tyrone caught me, but leaned back too far so he fell, too. I'm on top of him while he's got his arms wrapped around me. I'm glad I didn't hit the floor, but...the way this looks, and our faces are so close to each other...
Tyrone looked me straight in the eye and said, "You know... I guess you do have a bit of bad luck, hehe."
I rolled my eyes and said, "After the shit I've been through, this is nothing." We shared a hearty laugh and he let me up; just in time, too, because I could feel my face heating up from the tension or embarrassment, I don't know.
"So have you heard anything about Lucifer since Friday?"
Tyrone nodded "Yes... After he was taken to the principle's office he and that Feraligator guy had the option of failing for the semester or staying if they fought someone."
I raised my eyebrow. "Who?"
"The king of this school: the principal"
THAT BIG ASS DUDE?!
"WHAT?! Why him?! The last dude I saw him fight was taken to the fucking hospital!" Was I worried about that de-I mean Lucifer?! I mean he did save me, but...
"Well it seemed that the principal wanted to see how bad they wanted to stay in school. Fred barely stood a chance. But Lucifer...!"
I was on the edge of my seat "What, WHAT? What happened?!"
"Lucifer and him both challenged him. By the end, it looked like both were going to pass out. Lucifer ended up losing, but the principal passed out right after him! Lucifer is staying in the school after that. I didn't see it all happen myself but he called me himself and said he'll be back on Monday. A few bruises and cuts but "Peachy~!" as he put it.
"Holy crap..." Was he fighting so hard because of...me?
Have I been underestimating that bunny...and misunderstanding him?! To be almost equal in terms of strength with the principal...I guess he really does deserve to be a gang leader, huh? Still, I haven't actually...thanked him, yet. I'm probably going to regret saying this, but...
"Tyrone! Let's go visit the devil rabbit! And we'll drag that Fred guy, too!" He rose up in shock.
"Wh-What...?! You want to invite the one who...did such a thing to you?"
"He's going to apologize to both me and him, of course. And besides, I'm hungry, so he'll be paying for our stuff. Since you're in charge of handling all the info of our classmates, call him up, would you?"
"O...Okay..."
...
"Wh-Wh-Wha, wha, WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" We greeted the big guy at his door, and after fighting with Lu and the devil bunny, he sure looks alright, save for a few bandages and eye-patch. Is everyone at that school superhuman...? "Visit THAT guy? And why are you even talking to me? Shouldn't you want to sick your big guy right there on me and kill me for what I did?"
"I should, but...as seen and heard, you're a very, very strong guy, so I'd rather be on good terms with you. And to pay for what you did, you'll buy us lunch for 5 weeks!"
"What?!" He looked as if he was about to slam the door. "I ain't gonna be do-"
"AND in return, I'll make that devil rabbit be friends with you too, but you two will have to promise to not fight anymore."
"..." He opened the door again. "Well, I do feel bad about doing that to ya, and I kinda would like the idea of hanging out with you guys, so...sure! Whateva! I'm in!"
"Good!" We slapped hands and after running inside for a few seconds, he came back out. "Come on! I got some apologizing ta do!"
It was...not...what I expected.
I imagined a sorta run down house with maybe a broken window or two and possibly a beat up old car and bars plastered on the windows and a pipe organ music playing in the background and a swirling black cloud in the shape of his face over head.
What was actually there was a really nice looking house with fresh cut green grass, lawn and backyard, pecha and oran berry bushes scattered all around the house, and a walkway leading straight from the street to the door.
The house itself was solid brick sides and a what looked like a freshly painted roof top. The drive way looked just as fresh and had a nice looking red pick up car, but I couldn't tell what brand it was.
THIS is the home of my...I don't even know anymore...
Fred let out a very impressed whistle. "DAMN! This is one hell of a house!" He looked at me. "Do I still need to pay?" I gave him a glare "Guess that's a yes..."
We all walked up to the front door and I was about to knock on the door but saw a doorbell. Might as well...
I pressed it and what played was a simple door bell chime. It sounded very peaceful...
We heard foot steps and in a flash the door opened showing none other then Lucifer, following with a wisp of cold air.
He had on more clothes then I've ever seen on him. They were overly long white pajama bottoms, with-of course- hearts all over them, that dragged on his feet and he had on a white hoodie with the words "Bad Bunny" in sprayed on in black. He had his hand, arm and part of his ears bandaged up.
"BIG BOY!" He squealed with a face splitting smile.
When he sees me his eyes light up and he pulls me close for a big hug. I hesitated for a moment but I return the hug.
"Yeah...hi." He sure smells nice. Wait, this is the perfume my Mom sprays on! Wait, why is wearing per...never mind. He finally let me go. "Feeling better?"
"Hee hee, I guess you could say. Wait, who're they behind- AH!" He shrieked then pointed to Fred. "YOU! What are YOU doing here?! And why are with you Big Boy?! And Big Guy...?" Fred cleared his throat and I let him get in front of me.
"Look, um, uh...sorry n all, for messing with ya boy-"
"JUST FRIEND!"
"Yeah, that! So, um, er...forgive and all that?" He said with a sheepish expression. Lucifer had a look as if he was spouting complete bullshit. Can he really be blamed?
"Forgive?! Hah! Aren't YOU funny! Forgive the guy who tried to hurt my man?! And why should I?!" Tyrone waved his arms.
"N-Now, now. Fred and Alan came to visit because you were not feeling well. Would someone you've fought with normally do such a thing?" He looked down at the ground.
"W-Well, no, but..."
"As I've told Alan here, do not let hate fill your heart. Give him one more chance to redeem himself." Lucifer crossed his arms and darted his eyes down to the side. He must be in deep thinking.
"...Okay, fine! If Big Boy forgives you, then I guess I can, too...but I'm still onto you! Do anything to him, and you're in a coffin, next!"
"Right back at 'cha, pal! Hah!" These two would actually make good friends: overly tough and hotheaded, but can't be taken seriously.
"Oh, why don't you guys come in? And I hope you don't mind, but my gang's upstairs waiting for me! Come meet them!" All of ours faces depleted into extreme nervousness. Meeting the gang members...of THIS guy. M-Maybe it's not so bad, I'm sure it'll go great! I hope. I really, truly hope.
As we walked in I couldn't help but notice how nice the inside of the house is. The living room had a really comfortable looking couch and a sizable TV and coffee table. It didn't seem like his style. Must be his moms.
We could hear voices coming from above as we went up some stairs to the second floor.
"Ohh, bullshit, you won that!"
"Can't blame me for having the most awesome of skill."
"You used a boss character!"
"Sounds like the fellas are still playing Mortal Kombat!" Lucifer wrapped his arm around me. "Come on, hurry, I know you'll love them!" I was about to pull my arm away but I when I looked at his bandaged ear...I let out a small sigh and just rolled with it.
When we made it to his room...Wow.
The wallpaper had a a gold like shine to it with little hearts arranged in a symmetrical order and the carpet was a deep red. On the wall in front of the bed was a wide screen TV which had Scorpion fighting against Sheeva (I think. Not to familiar with the series). The bed itself was suspended off the ground and had curtains on it. Classy.
The game was paused as four other Pokemon guys looked at us. A Deerling, Vulpix(Who had one controller), a Clefable, and finally a Dragonite (Who had the other controller).
"Ehhhhh?" The four of them got up, glaring at us. I don't know about Fred and Tyrone, but I sure stiffened up. Dragonite guy spoke up.
"Boss, who in carnation are they? Brought 'em ova here so we can whoop they ass?!" Then the Vulpix guy spoke up.
"I may not look like much, but I probably even make Principle Lu weep like a little baby!"
"Agh! Ugh..." H-Hey, why is the alligator clenching onto ME?! I'm the one who should be clinging onto someone! In fact, I tug at Tyrone's sleep.
"Wait!" FINALLY, Lucifer says something, throwing his arms out to stop them. "They're not just some random goons this time. These are my friends I mentioned!"
"...OOOOOOOH!" Yeesh. Talk about a realization. All four of them bowed. "Sorry 'bout that!" Lucifer laughed, stepping aside to introduce us.
"The wuss grabbing Big Bo- Alan (grumble grumble) is Fred. And this gentle giant is Big Gu- Tyrone! And, saving the best for last..." He threw Fred into the wall and I would have reacted, had he not hugged me to near death. "Is my sexy, wimpy, shit-luck having boyfriend, Alan! Or as I say, Big Boy!" Yeesh, thanks for the first impressions, asshole. They all took a step back.
"B..B...Boyfriend?!"
"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." I waved my hands. "It's nothing like that, we're just regular ol' friends. That's all."
"He has a tendency to not be honest."
"I AM being honest, damnit!" Ignoring that statement, he made them introduce themselves, now.
"Oh, uh, hi. I'm Dari! Um, uh, I actually don't attend the same school as you and the others, so, um, uh, yeah. N-Nice to meet you and all!" Wow, what a very awkward Deerling. Not that I can talk.
"And I'm Volkov! Like I said, don't let my appearance as a Vulpix fool you: I CAN be merciless if I want to. Ain't that right, boss?!"
"Yeah, hah hah! Okay, last two!" The...Clefable stepped up.
"Well, well, well! How are YOU? I'm..." Um...why is he mumbling generic Mexican music? "Carliiiiiiitooooo! I am also part of the gang, see! Si? Si! The love of romance burns in my heart, it does! Muchos much!" Ohhh, dear...and then, the biggest guy of them all.
"Hmph! I'm Daller! And I don't like you! Ya better keep hands off da boss, or I'll shred ya faster than horses down a dirt field! I should know: I'm from the South, born and raised! And as greens as the grass that grows!"
"I-I see..." As if the accent and speech didn't make that obvious enough.
"Hah! What do you think of my crew, gu- *COUGH* *COUGH*" He suddenly went into a couching fit.
"B-Boss!"
His gang dropped what they were doing and came right over to us. The Dragonite flew past us and went down the stairs.
"Oi, are you OK?" He leaned on my shoulder and his hand griped my own. "Damn, you're in pain aren't you? Come on." He looked up at me with innocent red eyes as he kept coughing.
'Whatever may happen, happens.' The boldest thing I've done since our night together.
I picked up Lucifer while everyone watched us. I walked over to his suspended bed, with the Vulpix guy peeling back the sheets for me, and as gently as I could lay him down in the sheets. He looked up at me and smiled. Not the usual predatory one but an admirably...cute, gentle smile.
"Thank you..." His hand gripped my own...
And I didn't pull away.
but before I knew it I was shoved out the way by a green blur "Boss,here! Drink up, OK?"
The shiny Dragonite had a cup of water and slowly pushed it against Lucifer's lips so he could drink. I caught myself glaring at the Dragonite. ...Why the hell am I glaring?
I went back up to his bed again and saw that Lucifer was OK, his coughing fit gone and replaced with a much heather sigh of relief.
"You feeling better?" I asked.
"Yeah. Taking a bullet punch to the throat can do a number on you, hehe" HOW IS HE LAUGHING AT THAT?!
"DON'T LAUGH AT THAT SHIT!" I yelled, shocking everyone, and myself.
"Hey, don't yell at boss!" The Vulpix guy told me but I brushed him off.
"Awww, you worried about me?" He was wearing his usual smile again. I felt myself get red with anger.
"OF COURSE I WAS WORRIED!"
"!"
...
...
...
Crap...
"U-Uhh, no, no, not in the way YOU'RE probably thinking! S-S-S-See, here! Friends worry about each other, o-o-o-okay?!" I sounded like a stuttering retard with a face redder than dark blood, I'm sure. Lucifer, and some of the others gave this sly look.
"Aww, Big Boy! Your tsundere side is so cute! Why don't you come lay down with me, hmmm?"
"AS IF! I-I I need some air! Come on, guys!" I dragged Tyrone and Fred out of there, ignoring the mix of snickers and growls. I don't even the know the layout of this place...but who gives a damn, I just needed to get out of that room! Stupid, stupid, bunny...
"Wowza, BLK. You sure sounded angry! You must really care for your friends, huh? Good for you!"
"Shut up! I just tend to get a little too loud, sometimes!"
"Oh? I wonder if that's the case for in OTHER situations!" He winked at me like a dirty old man.
"And what is THAT supposed to mean?!" Tyrone sighed.
"Now, now, you two. But you must admit, Lucifer looked very happy to see us. Well, in truth, you, Alan. However, as for Daller..." Yeah, that Dragonite guy: he's the only one really who's been giving me the cold shoulder. Whenever I get near that rabbit, he gets all aggressive. Don't tell me that he... "I believe he may still misunderstand the relationship between the two of you."
"I dunno, Bodyguard." Bodyguard? THAT'S his nickname? "Can we REALLY be sure it's a misunderstanding after seeing that, ah hah hah hah!" I gave him a swift punch to the arm.
"YES, it is! And it'll stay that way!" Grumbling, I and the other stop and now realize: we have no idea where we're at in this house... "Umm...anyone have a map?" Well, I don't remember ever making any turns, so we head back down the hall and luckily, there was his room again.
"Yo, guys." Volkov tapped me on the leg. "We're about to head on out. You stay here with Boss and make sure gets better. Just you. That's what he asked." Of course...I looked over to Tyrone and Fred, who looked at each other, than back to me.
"By Lucifer's request, we shall go."
"Yeah! Besides, I wanna hit up the arcade! You guys in?"
"YEAH!"
"Ahh?!" And like that, they all skidded down the stairs, leaving me there. "Wah, hey! Ugh..." Tch. Well, might as well stay. I'll just tell Dad I'm staying over one of my old friend's house. I went back in the room and he's still in the bed.
"Hey...it's rude to leave your friends~!"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I'll stay here tonight with you." I admitted, sitting on the edge of his bed. He rose up, bright as a lightbulb.
"R-Really?! I didn't think you really would! I thought you'd be all like, "with THAT guy?! Are you out of your damn mind?!" Or something like that!" Sheesh...just what kind of image do I give off on this guy?!
Pretty eventful chapter, right? And poor Tyrone...such a terrible past. :( And also, Lucifer's gang finally introduced! :D I hope you guys like them, we both talked about who his gang members should be. Anyways, expect chapter 6 soon! (I hope.) Bye!
