Sorry for the long wait! And sorry for this being a short chapter!
I do not own man,
We reached the town by night time. The entire town was covered in a blanket of snow, and pitch black, and very quiet.
I was incredibly cold. These jackets aren't very warm. I was hugging myself and shivering. I glanced at Curse, who never seemed to get cold, and for a moment was hypnotized by the breath coming out of his mouth.
"…Are you okay?" he said when he caught me staring.
"N-n-no. im f-f-freezing. I h-h-h-ate s-snow." I stuttered.
"I'll keep you warm!" Lavi offered, holding his arm's out.
"Put those arms down before I cut them off!" Curse snapped at him. Lavi just smiled and continued looking for a place for us to stop for the night.
"Do you want my coat?" he offered.
"N-no. y-you'll get cold."
"You know I do-GAH!"Curse suddenly began flailing his arms around, while his legs were moving so fast. Lavi and I watched as Curse slid around on a patch of ice, then landing face first in the snow.
"You oka-pfft-kay Cyuu?" Lavi said, his face red while he tried not to laugh. I didn't even bother trying to speak. I covered my mouth with my hands, shaking with coldness and laughter. After Curse stood up, snow still on his face, is when we lost it. I had to hold onto Lavi to keep myself from falling on the ground.
"S-s-sorry Curse." We finally stopped laughing.
"I hate ice." Curse stood up carefully, then, once again, falling face first into the snow. I burst into laughter, as did Lavi.
"Come on Curse!", Lavi and I began walking again, leaving Curse swearing as he tried to stand up again.
A cloud slowly covered the moon, making everything pitch black. I stepped on a patch of ice, slid around, and I think I smashed into Lavi. I couldn't see. As I lied on the freezing ground, my head stinging like crazy (Lavi has such a hard head..) , I heard something peculiar in the distance…
Someone was giggling. I looked around, but it was too dark to see anything.
"You guys are so clumsy!" said the giggler. "I don't even think I have to both fighting you, if you cant even stand up!" They laughed again.
"Mmmphff!" Lavi said through a mouth full of snow. The moon came out of hiding from behind the cloud, reaveling the giggler.
It was a young boy, probably no older then fifteen. His hair was black, with blue tips. His skin color made it clear that he was from the clan of Noah. In his gloved hands, he held a glowing object.
"Innocence" Said lavi after coughing the snow out.
the boy smiled "Yup. I got it a few hours ago, but it didnt feel right to leave without saying thanks!" On the top half of his face the boy wore a wooden mask with a red star in the middle. "it was ICE to meet you!" He started to walk away, Akuma rising from the snow behind him. Lavi, Curse and I tried to stand up and fight, but we slipped on the ice again.
"oh no! SNOW point in getting up for me!" He giggled yet again.
Wait. Male giggling + red star + plus bad snow puns equals...
Our little brother, Torment.
