KENZI'S POV:
"You're a monster and you know it! Just stay away from me, Kenzi." He started walking away, hands stuffed into his pockets in a frustrated manner.
"NO WAIT! I'M NOT REALLY! IT WAS JUST A SLIP! PLEASE! I LOVE YOU, L!"
He stopped walking, and turned back towards me. With only 4 long angry strides, he was in front of me again, grabbing my face in between his hands.
"Listen to me Kenzi. You don't know what love is. You're a monster. I do not love you at all, I did back when you were you. Look around you Kenzi. Now you live in a world that's dyed red, all because of you."
He released me and walked away, causing me to not even fight back and just end up crying. He was right. I put my hands on the ground in defeat and felt someone warm and liquid-y. I looked down to see the crimson color flowing all around me, splattered everywhere. You're a monster. You live in a world that's dyed red because of you He was right. I was a monster.
I woke up with a gasp, causing Comrade to shoot up as well. I slept here last night? What? Memories of last night slowly seeped into my head, causing a slight pain on my right temple, but nothing too tedious.
"Are you alright? What's wrong?!"
"Hehe, nothing. Bad dream. Calm down."
He relaxed a little, and I realized I had somehow snuggled even closer to him in my sleep. I blushed a little, and scooted away. He looked up at me, confused again.
"Kenz, what's wrong?"
"I have to go back today. I need to see Light, he is worried and honestly...I ...I just need to see Sprinkles too."
He sighed and nodded. He understood, that over the past years, they were indeed my family. Dexter helped me get everything ready for me to go. I looked over at the 2 shirts I had altered to fit and we both broke down, laughing way too much. I was clutching my stomach, tears streaming down my cheeks as I recovered and got off the floor. I had no clue why we found that so funny, but we did! I smiled up at him, grabbing the shirts.
"I will buy you new ones,I promise. Cause we will keep in contact this time."
He nodded, still smiling as widely as I was. Was. I turned quite serious very quickly.
"I mean it, Comrade. Please, don't leave me again."
Just as quickly as my smile left, so did his. He was quiet as he put down some stuff and pulled me into a large embrace. I usually didn't hug people, simply because I think hugs are given out too freely now but this time a hug was called for. I was more than happy to hug back, snuggling into his tall figure once more. I have to say I do love cuddling with Light, but he had some competition when it came to Dex.
"I am so sorry, Kenzi. I will never leave again. If you tell me to go, I won't. Not until I die."
I cringed. NO. He wouldn't die.
"Don't talk like that. Hand me your phone I'll give you my number and you'll give me yours."
We exchanged our digits for one anothers. We smiled and hugged each other again and I started walking away, back home, when he yelled out my name, shutting the door behind him. i raised an eyebrow at him, and he chuckled and patted my pack, but let his hand linger there.
"You not having an escort is what got you in this mess in the first place. I am walking you home."
Oh! His hand on my back, he was literally escorting.I giggled a little, earning a side glance from him but we kept walking. his hand was persistent on my back, his eyes always stealing side glances at me. Why? I didn't feel the Level E in me anymore. Maybe he was just worried, we were in town during the day with many humans around. It was quite strange how calm I was, actually.
xxxx HOME xxxx
It was a short walk, considering I was having trouble keeping up with Comrade, even though my stride was long for a girl of my height, he had longer legs and walked way faster. He ended up giving me a piggy back ride, after I begged him to. He knew he wanted to! Besides, I just worked my Kenzi magic on him and boom! I get a piggy back ride full of laughter and smiles! We were still laughing as Dex let me hop off of his back, and the front door flew open! Light looked at Dex, well glared and scowled would be more appropriate. I always thought Dex was oddly tall, I learned I was right when Light was a little shorter than him, but just as "scary looking." I chuckled to myself because this was just boys being boys. My giggle made Light look at me, and his gaze immediately softened.
"Kenzi-Senpai." He pulled me towards him, and kissed my forehead, before pulling me into a hug. "I missed you." I knew that when I was hugging Light, he was probably glaring at Dex - who was no better. I pulled away, and gave him a peck on the cheek. He blushed a bright red, and I laughed again. I knew how to work these guys so easily. I turned back to Dex, who was staring daggers at Light. I tapped his shoulder, making him react the same way Light did when he looked at me. He smiled down at me, all the rudeness first displayed now replaced by nothing but kindness. Ugh, men. I smiled up at him as well, before wrapping my arms around his neck and hugging him - trying my best to balance on my tippy toes. He noticed this and took the opportunity to show Light how you hug a girl. He wrapped his arms around my waist, and lifted me up, spinning around, making me yelp with excitement and shock! "Bye-Bye Dex!" He waved and mouthed the words I'll text you later making sure to emphasize text as if it were a big deal. I turned back to Light, seeing that to him maybe it was. He closed the door, both Dex and him never stopped glaring until it went *click* He turned back to me, as if nothing happened. I scoffed a little.
"What the hell was that?"
"What was what?"
"That. I saw all those glares you and Comrade were throwing towards each other."
"Comrade?! You have a nickname for him?"
"Yes. Is that a problem? Is someone, oh I dont know...jealous?" I let the last word slide out as an evil knowing smile played across my face. He blushed immensely and stuttered, "N-No, Not at all. W-Why would I be?"
"You would be cause he calls me Red."
Light's face grew even more red, something I thought was impossible.
"Hey maybe we should call you Red, you're like a tomato!"
"AM NOT!"
"ARE TO!"
Back and forth we went, before I knew it he started tickling me!
"Surrender now! OR suffer the rath of the TICKLE MONSTER!"
His hands attacked my belly and my armpits, making me finally cry out in surrender. He stopped and was panting as hard as I sat on the couch together, trying to catch our breath in the midst of the comfortable silence when my stomach growled loudly. Light smirked down at my belly, and asked, "Hungry?" I nodded "Pizza?" I nodded again.
I was finally back with my family! I smiled to myself, but my smile quickly flattened when I remember my dream about L. He hated me. He thought...no knew I am a monster. I frowned as Light called my name. "Ah-ERM Coming!" I got up and wiped a tear off my cheek. I plastered a fake smile on my face as I entered the kitchen, where Light waited with the pizza guy on the phone asking what toppings. I didn't care right now. L hated me, I hated me. Not even the thought of pizza cheered me up. Okay, maybe it did a little bit...
