Chapter 7

Gavin's POV

Okay, what? What just happened?

Oh, I'm sorry, let me back up.

He did just say he loved me, right? I'm not hearing things?

'Cause if I'm not, I think my heart just soared all the way to heaven, got blessed by some divine deity, and sent back on its merry little way to me, but got a little lost and is now in my throat.

For a few seconds I couldn't move, couldn't breathe. No action at all.

When I could move, I turned around to look at him. I laid my forehead against his, to know if he was there. When I saw the look on his face, I knew I had heard him say those three words that made me freeze. After a few seconds, I spoke.

"Shaun.", I said simply, just to make sure I wasn't sleeping already.

"Yes?"

I was startled. I wasn't prepared for a response…

So I did what any person would do.

"I love you too"

I responded as sincerely as he did. I voiced my love as well.

He looked at me for a few seconds. A great, big smile spread across his face after a little while.

"My god Gavin, you really know how to make me happy"

I smiled as well, then buried my head in his chest. I didn't want him to see my tears, even if they were of happiness.

After a few seconds I heard even breathing.

I started slipping as well.

That night I dreamed of Shaun.

Gavin's POV

I woke up to the soft tapping of keys on a keyboard. I pulled my head up for it to accidentally collide with Shaun's.

I let out a low hiss from the pain, and he yelped in pain. I saw Shaun 2 look at us from his station, a deep scowl on his face.

"Could you two keep it down? I'm trying to work here!", he spat at us angrily.

"Sorry, it was an accident.", I say.

"Yeah, well, why is he even lying over you like that, anyway?"

"Huh?"

I turn my head slightly to see Shaun is over me. His leg is over both of mine, his chest is on my arm, and his head is right over mine. He has a grimace on his face, but still appears to be sleeping.

"Jesus, how can he still sleep from an impact like that?", Desmond says from across the room(AN: Okay, fuck it, no more "Insert name here" 2 crap. It will only apply to the 2 Shauns).

"I…don't know", I reply, lost for words.

"Well, he must be a really deep sleeper", Shaun 2 said.

"Lol, yeah"

"Lol? What does 'lol' mean?", Desmond asked.

"Laugh out loud? You know, the popular anagram people use all the time?"

"I've never heard of it. Must be a teen thing."

Another Facepalm.

Getting uncomfortable, I try shrugging Shaun off of me. When I have no luck, I resort to kicking his legs.

Still no luck.

"Jesus, why is this so hard!"

"…That's what she said", I continue, bursting into laughter.

All I get are a couple of confused looks.

"What? You've never even hear of that?"

I see everyone shake their heads no.

I sigh loudly.

"Great, out of all the people I can get stuck with in an alternate universe, it had to be people completely out of touch with the rest of the world"

"Hey! It's not our fault.", Rebecca says.

"I never said it was. Personally, I'm blaming Al Mualim."

"You know Al Mualim?"

"Yeah, he's the universities Dean.", I respond.

They all look at me incredulously.

"Okay, Gavin, could you list everyone from your world that you know? And what age they are?", Shaun asks me.

"Sure. My closest friends first. First, all of you. Then Ezio, 20; Altair, 21; Malik, 22; and…my weapon mechanics teacher, Leonardo Da Vinci, 24."

I look around at everyone from under Shaun. Shaun 2's mouth has steadily dropped into a big O, Desmond has a confused look, Rebecca is looking at me with a curious expression. Wait, when did she get there?

…I think Rebecca may just be a ninja. She was like one in my world too.

"So, all those people are your close friends?"

"Um, yep."

"Could you list people who aren't your close friends?"

"Okay. Al Mualim, I don't know his age; Robert de Sable, 25; and Warren Vidic, 30. Oh that guy's a HUGE creep. I hate 'em. Uh, that's all of them, I think. I didn't know many people."

"What's going on?", Shaun asks. He blearily rubs his eyes, hitting me in the forehead.

"Ouch! Could you please get off of me first?"

"Oh, sorry."

He climbs off of me with slow movements, arching his back in a stretch.

"Thank you"

I climb up to my feet, stumbling a little bit because my legs asleep. I end up tripping into Desmond, who deftly catches me and props me up.

"Whoa, that could've been bad, you okay?", he asks me.

"Yeah, I'm fine"

I shake my legs vigorously, getting the blood flowing back into it. I look up to see Desmond looking at me in a way that doesn't suggest friendly.

I cough, and he looks away.

"Okay, so, you guys seemed surprised when I named all those people, why?"

For the next hour, I get a thorough explanation of what the hell is going on, and what has happened. When we're done, everyone starts working. While actually starting to make the new hidden blade (Thank god the materials came with us), I catch a few glances from Shaun, and they are more than just cursory. A few from Desmond too. What could they mean?

…

Got ya'! No, I know exactly what they mean, I'm not some awkward girl who has to choose between 2 different guys and is in danger constantly because of the economy pitting her against peers. Plus, a huge government is after her 'cause she incited a rebellion.

This scenario sounds familiar…

Back to the present, it is now night, I have finished half of the new blades mechanics, with the help of my powers, and have successfully avoided Desmond when I took a few breaks to get some food or explore the environment.

Jesus, really?

When night comes, I'm trying to get to sleep when something cold comes in contact with the back of my neck.

"Gah!", I yell, shooting upwards.

I see Shaun snickering beside me.

"What was that for?"

"Um, fun? I haven't had any in a while."

"Oh yeah?"

He looks at me quizzically. I reach up and pull him down on top of me, kissing him roughly. He moans into the kiss, getting comfortable on top of me, sitting between my legs. I lay down, pulling him with me and resume kissing him after we broke for breath. He sighs after we break again, and snuggles into me. I flip onto my side, and rest him against me, slipping into unconsciousness.

Heheh, I'm evil. No action for Gavin and Shaun yet. Emphasis on yet.

:D

P.S. Please Guys, I need reviews, PLEASE. They fuel me, and they help me get ideas, much like the one JuliusXAlicelover gave me. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE?

Also, be prepared for action, because nothing has happened since the beginning of this story. Things will happen guys, just stick with it.
