Holy snap! Got a bit excited at the end of last week's chappie, didn't we? Don't mind me…your probably just gonna ignore this anyway…XD
Class, let's observe the Sophieus Teenagious and find out the down sides of being completely clueless…
Brotherly Advice.
I slid down from Krone's neck but still stayed close, with my arms wrapped around his neck and my body pressed at his, standing on my tiptoes because of his height. I looked up at him. He looked like I just did him the world's greatest favor. I smiled.
He was the one who made my entire life better. I tightened my grip on him. I felt like the entire world was on stand still, no, I didn't care about what the world was doing, all I cared about was me and Krone. Whatever would happen, as long as Krone was with me, that's all that mattered. Just me…and him.
I closed my eyes.
Krone stroked my cheek, I felt his forehead rest on mine and he held my waist with both of his talons.
We stayed pressed close to each other for a long time, little caring about anything else. Just having each other being more than enough. Being with Krone right now was more than enough.
There was absolutely nothing, nothing at all, nothing in the whole entire world, that could ever, ever, make that feeling go away.
"…Sophie?"
"Yeah?"
"I-"
"Sophie."
Josh.
I half-turned, Krone growled.
Josh was standing at the doorway, not looking like a raging volcano like he was these passed couple of days but not all together happy either.
"Um…yeah Josh?" this would be the second time he's come here…
"I need to talk to you," he said stiffly yet calmly, "can I?"
Krone tightened his grip on me, "No."
I glanced at Krone then back at Josh, he seemed set on having a little chat with me. I didn't want to fight, but then again, he didn't look like he wanted to either…
"Alright."
Krone looked shocked by my answer.
"I'll be right back, promise," I said in a soft, pleading tone, hoping he would understand.
It looked like it did, but I could clearly tell he was very reluctant to do so. I smiled softly up at him, he didn't want to but he would, one more point in his favor. Krone slowly let go of my waist, I let my hands linger on him before I stepped away.
I felt guilty for leaving him.
Thanks a lot Josh.

"So what do you want to talk about?" I asked as we both stepped out of the garage.
"Okay, look, I know I must be the last person you want to hear this from, but I'm worried for you."
"Excuse me?"
"Seriously. I am, okay?"
"About what?"
"You know what."
"Josh, I honestly don't think that-"
"Just hear me out, please, for once in your life."
"Once in my life?"
"I don't want to fight with you, Sophie, honest, cross my heart and hope to get skewered by a Yautja, I don't."
I haven't heard him say that since forever. When we were little, we used to say that instead of the more common 'cross your heart' because death by Yautja outranked regular death. It was an inside joke but it was serious business none the less.
I listened.
"Sophie…he's a Yautja."
I blinked a few times. "…and?"
He blinked a few times. "Do you understand that?"
"Yeah, I'm not an idiot, Josh," I said, failing to see what he was getting at, "he's Yautja, that's common knowledge, what's your point?"
Josh stood there looking dumbfounded, after several seconds of no audio from the both of us he came back from his daze, "…Oh god…"
"What?"
"You have no idea what you're doing."
I leaned my weight on one leg, already getting impatient, "Josh, I can't understand what you're saying," I thought a minute, "Or what you're trying to say for that matter."
"Obviously, because you don't know what you're getting yourself into!"
"Josh…"
"Sophie," he cupped his hands in praying fashion, "I'm not going to ask you anything else in the world, just stay away from that Yautja!"
"What?" was he serious?
"I mean it, it's not safe!"
I shook my head, "I can't believe I'm hearing this…" To think that I actually thought he had something worthwhile to say.
I started to walk past him, "Wait a minute, Sophie, I'm being serious," he grabbed my arm and stopped me, "Listen to me!"
"There's nothing to listen to!" I snapped, pushing his hand away.
"Yes there is!"
"You're asking me to ditch my best friend!"
He stepped back, "You're best friend?"
"Yes, my best friend!" I said with firmness. Of course Krone is my best friend, it's not like Josh was or something.
Josh gave me a stern look, which I returned with a glare. If he wanted to talk me out of seeing Krone than we had no business together.
"Sophie, what is he to you?" he asked me with a stiff tone.
"I already told you, my friend."
Josh crossed his arms, "Does he know that?"
"Yes, Josh, of course he knows that," it was like he was taking stupid pills or something, "I've told him countless times already, Krone is my best and only friend, whether you like it or not."
"Shit…" he cursed at himself, only further causing me to believe that this whole thing is just him being a glorified jerk, "Sophie, stay away from him!"
"No, no I won't, Josh," I said, the anger in me increasing. He was acting as if Krone was some sort of virus and I was a defenseless little girl that didn't know right from wrong.
"It's dangerous being around that Yautja!"
"How is it so dangerous?" I almost yelled, how dare he say something like that, he didn't even now Krone, he has no right to say that, or anything negative about him, "Krone has done nothing bad to me and I doubt he ever will!"
"It's not that-"
"Then what?" his reasons have to be pretty damn solid.
"Okay, fine, yes it is that!" I glared at him, ashamed that he could be so heartless and selfish, Josh looked at me as if he wanted me to understand something life and death inducing. "Sophie, you have no idea what kind of monster your provoking!"
"Krone is not monster!"
"Maybe not to you, but that's just the thing! I mean, think about it, Sophie, really think about it. Yautja are bloodthirsty killers, the more trophies they have back home the more they rank, numbers make their world go round. They hunt, they're pricks, they're predators, why isn't Krone, an Honored Blood, one step below supreme badass, why isn't he like that to you?"
I froze. Why wasn't Krone like that with me? I found that my heart started to speed up, I remembered all the times that Krone was gentle and sweet with me. Remembered how Krone would make me feel more confident with myself. How he would be patient and understanding. And if there's anyone I'd ever go to if I was feeling down it'd be him, without a doubt.
"…b-Because!" that wasn't a reason. I felt dizzy, I kept on remembering all the times Krome and I got close, how I would feel warm and secure, "Because…" Why did I feel so scared? So confused? "Because we're friends!" I blurted out, "Because, I trust him, I help him out, and…" I couldn't understand why I was so nervous but I ignored it, " and quite frankly that's a very stereotypical belief of Yautja, Josh, how do you know if…if…if some aren't gay or something!"
My heart was racing really fast, and for some reason I was afraid of what Josh would say next.
"Well then they sure as hell have a foul proof don't ask don't tell policy!"
I sighed, Josh's stupidity relieving me for whatever reason, "Are we done here?"
"Sophie, stay away from him."
"I can't and I won't."
"Think about what you're doing-"
"I'm not doing anything!" I don't understand why he keeps insisting that something is up. And it's irritating.
"To you it's nothing! But to Yautja it's different, if you start messing with them-"
"I'm not 'messing' with Krone." god, couldn't he understand that?
"Sophie, all I'm asking you is to be careful…"
I wasn't going to hear any more of this, "I don't need to be careful around Krone, Josh, he's the only person I trust and nothing you can say will change that…"
I left, back to Krone, back to where things made sense.
