"Rio, wake up." a gruff voice said, violently shaking my shoulder.
"Go away.." I muttered, pushing the hand away. I was too comfy to get up. I was sitting, yes, but my head was on something stern but comfy and I had a nice warm blanket wrapped around my legs. Oooh plus I had a stuffy that I squeezed close to my chest. I couldn't tell what it was exactly, a snake maybe? And it wasn't very..squishy? Like most would be.
"WAKE UP!" The gruff voice yelled, shaking me even more violently that I almost fell off of my seat.
"I'm up!" I yelled groggily, snapping my eyes open. My vision was a bit blurry for a few seconds before it cleared up and I was looking up at a blonde haired jerk.
"Good, now can you get off me?" He asked, his voice wasn't rude but it was stern. Just like it always was.
I widened my eyes a little when I realized how I was positioned. The 'pillow' was Neil's shoulder, that my head was leaning on. And the 'snake' was -no not his dick..- his arm, and it was very close to my chest. VERY close to my chest. I instantly let go of him, ignoring the blush creeping onto my face and the slight blush on his neck, and got my head off of him.
"You make a good pillow." I said, patting him on the head, and gave an embarrassed laugh.
"Sh-shut up." He stuttered, a bit embarrassed himself. We sat in silence for a few moments, the both of us trying to block out our slight blushes. I blocked out mine first, and resisted the urge to yell out that I was the winner and supreme overlord.
Overlord? Man that's pathetic, so childish. I'm a f***ing Empress.
"Empress? More like a peasant." Neil mocked, obviously suppressing a laugh.
"Shut up." I muttered and lightly smacked his arm. I know...I know...he didn't deserve that.. he deserved more. Like Hell's flames more! MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.
"You're weird.." Neil mumbled and leaned back in his seat, looking out the window. I glared at him before realizing how empty the plane was. And that all the noise from before had stopped. The plane's jet was no longer moving.
"We landed a while ago but I wasn't able to get up." he stated and shifted his arm a little, a blush forming on his cheeks again.
"Why didn't you wake me up earlier then?" I asked, looking at him suspiciously. He looked back, the blush deepening and looked away quickly, mumbling something under his breath.
"Sorry, I didn't quite get that." I said and leaned in a bit, but he didn't repeat what he said. Well at least I don't think he repeated what he said.
"Doesn't matter, let's just go." He said and got up, pulling me up from my seat too.
"Wait, why didn't Charles kick us out?" I asked, following him and holding my bag of towels. He didn't respond.
"Why didn't anyone else wake me up?" No response.
"Why were we just left on the plane alone?" I got no responses for the rest of my questions as we got off the plane.

"About time you two got up." Allen stated looking over at Neil and I as we walked out of the silent plane. I looked around, noticing that we were in a field of some kind, but I didn't recognize where we were. There were trees all around it, as if they had made a clearing in the forest for the plane and airport. Except for the fact that there was no airport. As if they just placed the plane here like a parking spot for a car. Is that even legal? I..I don't understand Charle's travel agency..
His..his wizardry.
I glanced at the groups of people all split up. The four girls were together -though Iroha didn't look like she was talking as much as the rest, Rod and Allen, Amir and Sanjay. Only Rod and Allen seemed to notice the two of us though.
"Why didn't anyone wake me?" I asked looking at the two guys because Neil didn't give me ANY answers.
"He didn't tell you?" Rod questioned, looking at Neil curiously, before an evil smirk started to grow on his face. And when I say evil, I mean evil. Evil like..Gaston evil! Okay maybe not THAT evil. More like Captain Hook I guess.
"Well he said mmmph." Rod started, but Neil leaped forward and placed his hand over Rod's mouth, blocking the sound that came through. Allen raised an eyebrow at the encounter before a small smirk appeared on his own face. It wasn't as big as Rod's or as evil. If I must rate it from a Disney Villain..I guess I can say.. Mushu. Yeah he's not a villain, I know, but he does have a scheming side. Just like Mushu..
"Neil stated quite clearly that he didn't want us to wake you because he thought you were so-" Cue fist slamming into Allen's cheek, making him fall onto the ground.
"Bastard.." Neil muttered, his hand off of Rod's mouth, and cracked his knuckle slightly. I glanced down at Allen, who was sitting on the ground with a red cheek, he looked...well let's say 'not happy'.
And before I knew it..it was a gay tackling session.
Well it looked like those two were gay, by the way their hands were flying all over the place on each other's bodies. Heck if I didn't know them, I would've thought they were a couple!
Hm...Neil and Allen? The cold, heartless jerk and the cocky heartless jerk...Nah I don't think it would work. At least ONE person in the relationship has to have a heart. Maybe Neil and Rod? Yeah, that would work a lot better. And they seemed to get along pretty well too.
Yep, I'm on the NeilxRod ship.
"Actually, Neil said that you were-" Rod started, walking over to me.
"Shut up!" Neil yelled, his attention turning to Rod instead of Allen. Allen took the opportunity and punched Neil in the nose. Neil staggered backwards a bit, giving Allen enough time to get up and walk over to Rod and I.
"He said that he enjoyed his arm being squished between your..." he paused for a moment, his eyes lingering down to my chest. Feeling uncomfortable underneath his gaze, I raised my arm to kind of block it from his view. He didn't seem to care though. "..small boobs."
"That's not what I said!" Neil argued, his face flustered completely, as if he got up. He grumbled as he got up, glaring at Allen, when I noticed a little red trickling down his nose. "He's even getting a nose bleed just thinking about!" Rod exclaimed while Neil quickly covered used his shirt sleeve to cover it.
"This nose bleed came from him!" Neil said angrily, pointing at Allen, but no one was really listening.
"Oh..so he was just being a pervert.." I said coldly, my eyes glaring into him. He backed up a bit, but tried to open his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Well some more blood came out of his nose. "If there's anything that I hate in this world.." I started, looking at him with disgust as I turned my back "It's perverts."
"But-But I didn't say that!" Neil argued, but I didn't care and just started walking where the other groups of people started to walk, down a small path. I didn't know where everyone was going exactly, and I didn't feel like asking, so I just followed them. Hoping they would lead me to the beach that way.
I glanced back, as I walked alone in the forest path, to see Neil glaring intently at Allen.
"Just trying to get you laid." Allen shrugged making Neil even more pissed off at him, and Rod stifling some laughter. I shrugged it off and kept walking alone down the path, my bag at my side. Michelle and Tina were in front of me chatting away about her magic show, Felicity was in front of them, turning around to talk to them every few seconds. Iroha and Yuri walked in front of them, not talking but observing their surroundings. Sanjay and Amir in front of those two, then Soseki in the front alone. I couldn't see Charles and his family anymore so I just assumed that they had already gone to..wherever we were going.
I looked over to the side of the forest, seeing some chamomile and I had to resist the urge to harvest it. I had to keep telling myself that it was my day off and I already have a stack of chamomile that I barely ever use. Apparently I'm not very good at resisting urges though, considering I now have a small stack in my bag now.
"Wow...look at this place." Felicity exclaimed eagerly, glancing around the town that we just walked into. I perked up, realizing we were here, and glanced around myself. It took a few moments to realize it, but I knew this place, and instantly the corner up my lips turned upwards.
"Neil, come on!" I yelled happily and ran behind me, grabbing his wrist, then pulling him forwards. He, or Rod and Allen, didn't have a time to react as I ran forward, pulling him with me, and passing everyone else.
"Wait! Where are we going?" He asked when he noticed that I was sprinting away from the beach.
"We're going to see an old friend of mine." I smiled slightly, sprinting down the paths that I had somewhat remembered. How many years has it been since I've come to this island? Two..two at least. Maybe a bit more.
"Why is this 'we'?" He said a bit coldly, but I shrugged it off.
"Because you said it yourself; we're friends. And this is a friend job." I stated boldly, my breathing getting a bit heavier but not too much so I continued to run.
"No. This is a boyfriend job." He argued, not resisting though. I stopped in my pace and turned around to face him. He gulped nervously, he tried to hide it but he wasn't very good at it. "Then starting now, you're my boyfriend."
"WHAT?"
"Chelsea!" I yelled rushing over to the brunette when I saw her behind Neil. She glanced over to the person who called her (me) and her eyes perked up a bit when she saw me, rushing over to me as well. The silver haired cowboy beside her gave me and Neil a questioning look, but followed the brunette anyways.
"Rio!" She exclaimed and gave me a hug "It's been so long!"
"Too long!" I said drastically, returning the hug. We hugged for a few more minutes before finally parting. "Who's this?" I asked glancing at the cowboy, who seemed to be giving me the dirty eye. No..not me. To the person behind me. I looked backwards to see Neil giving him the same dirty look. Do they know each other? Or does Neil just not like cowboys, and cowboys don't like chibi punk guys?
"Did you just call me chibi?" Neil questioned, giving me the dirty eye instead "I'm taller than you."
"This is Vaughn." Chelsea exclaimed happily and pulled the cowboy closer to her "He's my boyfriend."
"Hey." Vaughn said grimly, his expression said he was bored, but his eyes said that he was enjoying spending time with Chelsea. Which was good. Because if he wasn't I'd take cut off his balls, feed them to some tigers and then hack away at his arms and slowly..slowly tear out his eyes then maybe I wo-
"You're speaking out loud again.." Neil muttered and walked beside me. Vaughn glanced at me curiously but Chelsea was just trying to hold in her laughter.
"I speak the truth." I stated proudly and placed my hands on my hips.
"And who's this kid?" Chelsea asked looking up at Neil, obviously trying to change the subject. I held in a laugh while Neil choked on his non existent drink.
"Told you you were chibi." I snickered and smacked him in the arm.
"You didn't 'tell' me, you accidentally said it out loud." Neil scoffed and glared at both Chelsea and I, which got Vaughn glaring at him then Chelsea glaring at Vaughn and then me just randomly glaring at the ground.
"So, anyways, this is Neil." I said and pointed to the angry man "He's also twenty five, five years older than us." I explained to Chelsea and she nodded understandingly.
"Well I'm Chelsea." She said energetically., holding a hand out to Neil. Neil stared at her hand for a few seconds, as if he didn't know what to do, before glaring at me again. I rolled my eyes and grabbed his wrist, forcing it onto hers.
"This is Rio." Chelsea introduced me to her boyfriend, after she took hers back away from Neil.
"Nice to meet yeah." I said enthusiastically, not holding my hand out because he had the same look Neil gets when he doesn't want to do something. The 'I'm going to slaughter your family' look. Except his looked a bit JUST a bit more intense.
"Come on, I'm going to show you my new house!" Chelsea exclaimed and grabbed my wrist. I notice Neil tense up a little bit, but he and Vaughn started to follow us when she dragged me a long.
"Sorry, no boys allowed." Chelsea said and holding out her other hand to stop them both when we reached her door. New house? It wasn't new.. it was the one I had seen last time..maybe she just changed it up on the inside.
Neil and Vaughn glanced at each other confusingly, giving Chelsea enough time to slam the door in their faces.
