Narrator's POV.
As the sun started rising into the sky, the lovers in the hotel room started stirring…well one of them did.
Jax slowly opened up his eyes and stared at the ceiling for a minute, 'What time is it?' he thought while slowly blinking the sleep out of his vision. He sat up slowly, letting the comforter slide off of his chest into his lap and his small golden necklace to his chest.
Jax yawned quietly looking over to make sure he hadn't woken Tabitha up before he smiled to himself and moved slightly in the bed, "Irk you are SO gorgeous," He mumbled, tracing her spine with one of his claws. She didn't even stir. To be honest, Jax was kind of relieved she hadn't woken up yet. He had…things he had to attend to. He lay back down for a few minutes, just staring at Tabitha feeling his heart race slightly. Whenever he saw her his heart would race though so he was used to it. He leaned in gently to kiss her shoulder blade and jaw seeing as she was now turned away from him. "I love you miss," He whispered into her antenna before sitting up again.
He threw the covers off of himself before grabbing his clothes bag and slinking off to the bathroom to shower and change into some more decent clothes. He poked his head out of the bathroom door and glanced up into the loft to make sure Tabitha was still asleep before checking the clock and writing a quick note.
'Be right back lovely, just going to get us some coffee,' the note said as he laid it next to her in the bed. He knelt down and ran a hand over her antenna before leaning in and kissing her forehead gently. With that he slid back down the loft's ladder and headed out the front door. He made sure he still had his room key as he exited the room and took one last look back up into the loft. He shook his head slightly before shutting the door and heading down the hall towards the elevators.
His antenna drooped slightly when he thought of what he was really doing. The guilt had been gnawing at his stomach for months now but it was also a tad bit of fear, 'I knew I shouldn't have gotten emotionally attached,' he thought to himself angrily before shaking his head slightly, 'it'll be ok. She's the one remember?' He'd never been put in such a situation before, he wasn't sure if he should go for it or not but he knew he had to at least be ready for either one to happen.
Jax sighed and reached up to grab his necklace for a minute. The necklace ended with a small golden symbol of a character in the Irken language. It means luck and or hope. In human form it would be called a lucky charm and right about now he was praying that the luck was real.
The elevators opened again as he stared at his necklace but almost immediately he felt his antenna twitch, telling him he was in danger. He looked up and nearly slammed himself back into the wall as the two people he hated the most smiled evilly at him and stepped in. "Long time no see, Jax." One said, blocking Jax from leaving.
"What the hell do you want?" Jax spat, antenna lowering in worry. He knew he was in deep now.
"I think you know what we want."
"Yeah well you can forget it, I'm not one of you anymore," He growled, eyes narrowing, "And I don't owe you shit. We technically don't know each other right now."
"We're not here to say you owe us, Jax," The man spat his name and shoved him back into the wall and the elevator started closing, "We're here to give you an option." Jax's eyes widened. Options were never good, none of them EVER worked out.
"An option for what?" He growled angrily.
"A choice between life and death of not only yourself but the ones you love," The man smiled sickly again while pressing the button on the elevator to bring them back up to the floor he and Tabitha were staying in, "Or shall we just chose for you."
"Stay the fuck away from her!" Jax snapped, sending a punch into the man's jaw, "If you even GLANCE at her I will rip you limb from limb and force you to watch yourself eat them as you beg me for mercy!"
"Big words for you to be saying in this situation," The second man said, slamming Jax back into the elevator wall again, grabbing his throat and squeezing hard. Jax coughed and gasped for air as he grabbed the man's hand and tried to struggle out of his vice like grip.
"You have two choices Jax, do everything we say, or we'll kill her slowly and right in front of you," Jax's eyes widened again, shock, hatred, anger and fear pooling into them as he glared at them. 'What do I do…what do I DO!?' he mentally shouted to himself.
After a moment of thinking and fell slack in the man's grip and lowered his face in defeat, "I'll do whatever you say. Just don't hurt her…please?"
"Good boy," The first man growled happily while pulling something out of his coat pocket. It looked to be a needle gun type of thing, "Hold him still."
The second man did just that as Jax angrily eyed the long needle, "Wait what the hell are you doing to me?" He said as he struggled and tried to shove the man off.
"We just need a…little blood," The man purred bringing the needle close to Jax's arm.
"Haven't you shoved enough needles into me?!" Jax snarled as the man pinned his arm to the wall and shoved the needle under his skin.
"Clearly not enough," Jax glared hatefully at them as he felt his blood being pulled from his veins into the cartridge. He cringed slightly as the man moved the needle under his skin, poking further into the vein, "Good boy."
"Stop calling me that!"
"What're you gonna do about it squirt?" He rumbled pulling another vial out with a bright blue liquid in it, "Hold him still again."
"Hell no, keep that thing away from me," Jax snarled while kneeing the man in the stomach. He dropped him and hunched over giving Jax the opportunity to knee him in the face and punch the other man in the face. He jumped for the roof tile to get out and was nearly there when the men snarled at him and grabbed his arm.
"If you don't get your ass back down here you little fucker then I will personally shove your girl into a wall and show her the true meaning of fear before killing her slowly and painfully."
Jax ground his teeth angrily while grabbing the man by the collar and lifting him up to eye level, "Why don't I just fix you so you have nothing left but to whine to my brother about how you don't have dick to shove up his ass anymore? Or are you still his little bitch?"
Jax glared at the man, waiting for a reply when suddenly he was smacked hard across the face, sending him falling to the ground below. He yelped when his shoulder impacted the ground and made a sickening popping noise but he didn't react to the immense pain. No, he wouldn't give them that joy.
"You're still as hissy as ever…maybe I should cut your tongue out, free of charge," Jax glared at him before slightly shrinking back when a knife was slammed into the wall right next to his face, "You either hold still, or you know the consequences."
'I've had enough of this,' Jax thought angrily while standing up and grabbing the vial from the man's hand, "You know if my kiss ass brother wanted to inject me with some kind of mutagen and or antigen then you can scurry on back to him with your tail between your legs and tell him to do it himself. But oh wait, the only tail between your legs wouldn't be long enough to do even that would it?" He smashed the vial against the wall, being careful not to cut his hands on the glass while glaring the two angry men down.
"You're going to regret ever saying that, stupid ass," The second man hissed pushing the automatic door opener on the elevator.
"Hey at least I have a gun that still shoots, unlike you ass kissers," Jax spat back as they slowly exited the room, "Oh and please tell my brother that his baby bro is pissed and says hi will you? Or tell him to grow the balls to be man enough to face me himself." With that, Jax shoved the last man out and hit another button on the elevator. He waited for a second, making sure no one was following him before sinking to his knees and falling back against the elevator wall. His hands reached up to gently rub the new bruises forming on his neck and to his shoulder to make sure it was still in the socket. The last part of him that he checked was his still burning cheek, hoping it wasn't leaving a mark for Tabitha to see. To be honest he was frightened, he was scared for Tabitha's safety and everyone else he'd emotionally attached to but what scared him the most was, 'How does he know I'm alive?'
Tabitha's POV.
I slowly woke up as I tossed and turned from lack of comfort, the comforter was not doing a very good job at keeping me warm and the bed was slightly cold whenever I turned or shuffled around, "Jax," I muttered while rolling onto my back, "What time is it?" When I didn't get a reply I assumed he was still sleeping and popped an eye lid open to see.
Instead what I saw was an empty half of the bed and no Jax, "Jax!" I shouted, glancing around frantically, "Jax!" I shouted again; still no response. My antenna lowered as all the worst case scenarios started haunting my thoughts. Well that is until my hand skimmed over a note that was laid on his side of the bed. 'Be right back lovely, just going to get us some coffee,' now my worried face was slowly melting into a smile. I was still slightly mad he left me here alone but at least he left a note to tell me where he was going.
I read the note a couple times before hearing a beeping at the door. I heard it open making my antenna perk, "Jax?" I called gently.
"Yeah baby?" He called back. He sounded a little upset though, I couldn't quite put my finger on it but you could tell his voice was tense.
"How long have you been gone?" I questioned as he climbed up the ladder. Only thing I noticed was that he'd cringe whenever he put his right arm to the ladders pegs.
"Oh not long, probably an hour at most," He answered sitting down on the bed next to me, "How long have you been awake."
"I just woke up," I answered, noticing that there was a dark green line on his neck, it almost looked like a…bruise, "Jax, what happened to your neck?" I asked, putting my hand on his cheek. He flinched back making me pull my hand back quickly in fear I hurt him or something, "Jax?"
"Nothing happened sweetheart," Jax said quickly, moving away slightly.
"Did…Did I do that?" I asked in shock while looking at his neck again. It was definitely bruised but more in the shape of hands almost.
"What, no!" He said glancing over at me with a small smile, "Not at all. You were fine, Tab." His smile grew a little bit as he moved closer and wrapped his arms around me, "In fact…" He started pushing me back down into the bed while applying small butterfly kisses to my face, jaw and neck.
"Get off of me you oaf!" I said while laughing and playfully shoving him.
"Oooo playing hard to get are we?" He teased, smiling down at me while he pinned me down into the bed.
"I ain't playin' son. I AM hard to get," I stuck my tongue out at him making him laugh and lean down to kiss me.
"Yeah I figured that out about ten months ago," I smiled and winked at him before grabbing the collar of his shirt and pulling him over into the bed, "And apparently I'm still learning," He mumbled while laughing calmly and closing his eyes.
"Did I say you could sleep?" I asked, prying his eye lid open and staring at him in authority.
He groaned and rolled his eye back up into his head, "No, but I'm still tired."
"Oh come on, I didn't hurt you THAT bad last night did I?" I asked making him smirk and wrap an arm around my waist.
"Uh no," He pulled me into his chest and kissed my temple a couple of times before just relaxing. Even though he made sure I couldn't go anywhere because I was stuck between him, his arm and a wall, "And I didn't hurt you right?"
"No, my pride…maybe just a little but other than that no," I said while inspecting the bruises on his neck while he wasn't looking. They looked pretty brutal and fresh but I didn't want to ask him about it anymore. That could start a fight that I don't want to get into. However when I leaned onto his shoulder and his jaw tightened I knew something was up.
I looked down, trying to see under his shirt and onto his shoulder but I could only see a tiny bit of discoloration on it, "Jax take off your shirt." I demanded.
"Wha? Why?" He asked, slowly opening his eyes and looking over at me. He looked distant and out of it and his eyes were hazy. Something was definitely up.
"Just do it," I said, trying to sound assertive.
"Baby I'm really not in the mood to be stripping right now. I'm really tired." He mumbled, trying hard to not meet my gaze.
"If you don't then I will," I growled, grabbing his antenna and making him look at me, "Or would you rather tell me what's going on and or who tried to hurt you."
"What? No one tried to hurt me Tabitha," He said with a small growl, "Just drop it, I'm fine."
"No you are not," I hissed. I grabbed his shirt and pulled it up quickly making him growl in pain and anger…not that I cared I wanted to make sure he was ok.
I gasped when I saw the bruise forming around his shoulder blade and the way the shoulder was in place in the socket, it was slightly off and he was clearly in pain, "Baby what the hell happened to you?" I said gently putting my cold hands down on his bruise. It was still warm clueing me off that it was fresh and very much so hurting.
"I just fell, not a big deal. I tripped and landed hard on my shoulder. I couldn't tell if I dislocated it or not though," He shrugged. Did he honestly expect me to believe he just "Fell?"
"My Irk Jax, this looks really painful," I fretted while moving my cold fingers across the abused flesh, "Let me go get you an ice pack."
"No Tabitha really, I. Am. Fine. I don't need your help," He growled back, antenna lowering into a threatening position.
"No. You're. Not, I've known you long enough now to know when you are clearly trying to hide something from me. And don't worry, I'm not going to pry but seriously I am your girlfriend the least you can do is talk to me about it."
He didn't speak for a while, he just sat there staring at the roof with a somber expression before his expression turned into one of extreme worry, "We've got to go."
"Jax wait," I snapped, grabbing him and shoving him back down into the bed. I grabbed his antenna and slowly started massaging them, "Just relax for five minutes," I growled again seeing as he attempted to struggle against me.
"I can't…I-I can't…can't," He kept repeating, trying to figure out what he was trying to say.
"You can't what baby?" I asked, kissing his cheek gently.
He paused for another minute, gently purring at the fact that his antennas were being touched before he muttered out softly, "I can't…lose you."
Mia's POV.
"Come on kiddo, it'll be fun!" Vex cheered, while grabbing my hand, "Just in and out, I promise."
"But people will be looking at me…wondering why I'm not blinking or looking around…" I fretted, feeling my antenna lower unhappily.
"Nonsense! Sides' if anyone looks atcha like that, I'll punch their lights out, ok?" My face sunk slightly in worry as I thought over his proposition a few more times. He just wanted to run into town and get me a dress for the ball and maybe some food but then again, it was town and there'd be people crawling around everywhere…judging me, "Mia I promise, it'll be quick."
"W-who else is going?" I muttered shyly.
"Jus ya an' me, no one's awake yet so it'll be quick," I could hear the zealous in his voice. He REALLY wanted to go. I also heard someone shifting around not far off.
"Riley's awake," I whispered, moving closer to Vex. I didn't want a water bottle thrown at my head…not today anyways. I heard Vex's antenna shift under his hat as his body moved to look over in her direction.
"She's nearly awake, so come on, let's get outta here," He said hurriedly while grabbing my hand and leading me out of the barn.
"Vex, I-I really don't think that-," I started only to be quiet upon hearing the house door open up.
"Mornin'," Vex said in a kind of harsh way. Which only meant two things; it was either Cari whom he was still not happy with or Jeb whom Vex hated with nearly all his heart.
"What's going on?" A female voice asked. Yup, definitely Cari.
"Mia an' I are runnin' inta town," Vex said quickly while pulling me along until I felt my hand on a soft nose again, 'Oh Irk, not the horses again!' I begged silently. I didn't even know how LARGE the animal was compared to me, which made the fear of falling off that much worse.
"Member Angel?" Vex asked as I gently stroked the horses muzzle, feeling my heart jump into my throat when it moved, "She can sense yer fear kiddo, so don't be afraid, she ain't gonna hurtcha."
"Because that makes me feel oh so much better," I grumbled, gently stroking the horses face again. Vex laughed and picked me up making me squeak in surprise and fear.
"We're on the same horse, so ya won't fall off," He 'reassured' before jumping up with me and grabbing what I could only assume to be Angel's reins.
'Oh goodness, here we go,' I thought desperately while grabbing onto Angel's mane and clinging to it tightly. "Loosen up kiddo, I ain't gonna letcha fall," Vex said, trying not to laugh.
"You think this is funny don't you?" I growled, elbowing him in the chest.
There was a moment of silence before he said, "Yeah." I groaned and rolled my eyes before feeling his arms on either side of me and grabbing onto one.
"Dang uncle Vex you have muscle under there!" I said while poking his arm.
"…Awkward," he muttered, "Kiddo, I've worked most my life member. Can't be a guard without havin' some muscle."
Narrator's POV.
"You know if you'd hold still, this would go by MUCH faster," A deep voice growled, trying to keep his temper down as he dealt with a rowdy patient.
"Sorry doc, I just don't like needles," His patient said, closing his eyes and holding his arm out. The doctor sighed and rolled his eyes before getting closer to the man's arm with the needle, "WAIT!" The man shrieked, ripping his arm away, "Can I reschedule."
"For Irk's sake man, it's a tiny pinch. Close your eyes and take a deep breath, it'll all be over by then," the doctor said, starting to get impatient with this man.
"Ok, ok. Taking a deep breath and…" He trailed off, closing his eyes and rehanding the doctor his arm. The doctor waited for a second silently counting down from three in his head when the patient pulled back again, "No, I don't need the shot…do I?" He chuckled nervously.
"It's to help your pathetic immune system so you don't need MORE shots," The doctor said, tapping his fingers on his dark blue wrangler jeans, "Do I need to call in a nurse?"
"No," the man sighed, "Just get it over with."
"Ok well I need to find something really quick, why don't you just take a breather and close your eyes," The doc said, pretending to walk away as the man closed his eyes.
"Good idea," The patient mumbled closing his dark yellow eyes and sighing. The doctor took his chance and sprang forwards, grabbing the man's arm and quickly pricking his skin with the needle. Of course the man shrieked at this and tried to jerk back but it was already done, "What the hell!"
"Areo please, it wasn't that bad," Areo glared at his close friend and registered doctor.
"Want me to shove an arrow up your ass, then you'll know how I feel," Areo grumbled, rubbing his arm thoughtfully.
"You know for a hunter, I'd expect more manliness out of you," the doctor shrugged grabbing his long antenna and nibbling it gently.
"What's on your mind, Sol?" Areo sighed, knowing his friend enough to know when he chews on the long antenna, that he was deep in thought about something.
Sol's shorter antenna perked and he let go of his longer antenna, his hazel greenish eyes darting to Areo's face with a hint of a glare, "I'm just wondering why Difetto isn't back with my supplies."
Areo's face hardened, "You know he doesn't like to be called that. And I'm sure he'll be back soon."
"I think he embraces it," Sol shrugged, pulling his lab coat off and pulling back on his black and dark green plaid shirt over his black T-shirt, "Besides he only responds to the name Rivian every once and a while."
"That's because he's not used to it yet," Areo defended his brother, "Rivian is his official name now. I don't care what our mother," He spat the word, "Named him."
"Well I wouldn't have known what it meant but I do speak Italian, so I understand but do you honestly think he cares?" Sol asked, cracking his knuckles on his thighs and sitting down by a computer.
"Yes, he's my brother I should know these things."
"Should. That's the key word," Sol mocked, smirking in his short lived Victory.
"Whatever, Sore outta luck."
"I swear to Irk if you warp my name like that one more time I am going to jab you with a needle in places needles should never go!" Sol snapped, giving his friend a threatening glare.
Areo made a noise of displeasure before hauling his legs up onto the hospital table and holding them close to his chest, "Stay away from me."
Sol rolled his eyes and re-grabbed his longer antenna which looked a lot like Zim's…just longer, "It's been an hour for a half an hour pick up."
"Geez mom, if you're so worried, why don't you go out and find him," Areo teased. He smirked to himself in silent victory before shrieking when a medical text book slammed into his head, "Hey! That hurt!"
"Good," Sol hissed, opening up a larger medical book and glancing through the text. He twitched a little, clearly being antsy about the whole ordeal before slamming the book shut and standing up, "No…I'm just going to go out for some air."
"Whatever, I'll be waiting around here until I can find an arrow to jab you with," Areo mumbled, leaning back against the wall and grabbing something to play with until Sol got back.
Meanwhile…
"Hurry up kiddo, they're onto us!" Vex shouted, grabbing Mia's arm and tugging her along as a group of angry Irkens eyed them.
"You had to shout city slickers at them DIDN'T YOU!" Mia snapped hurrying after Vex as fast as her legs would take her.
"Well ya know, when yer kind of wanted in nearly every state, yer gonna get singled out one way er the other." Mia groaned loudly as Vex pulled her through crowded streets and busy alley ways. Vex was carrying a few large bags full of fancy clothing and anything they'd need for tomorrow whereas Mia was only carrying a small lengthy box, containing a shiny quarts necklace carved with a heart at the end also made out of dark red quartz.
"Slow down Vex," She begged as she felt her grip slipping from his hand.
"No time, keep runnin' kiddo," Vex called back.
Little did either of them know, they'd turned a corner running down a slippery street with only a few people walking down it. Mia slipped a couple of times, yelping every time before Vex slipped and lost his grip on her, falling to the ground with a loud yip.
"Vex?!" Mia shouted, scared to death now that she didn't know where her protector was. She swung her head back and forth trying to locate where he was with her antenna and slipping all at the same time. She nearly screamed when she slid slightly and slammed hard into someone, sending them both falling to the ground.
"OW!" Sol shouted, not expecting someone to ram into him. Though he was asking for it. He'd had his face buried in another small medical book, trying to find how to treat a foggy eye, not looking up or listening to anything to clue him in that someone was about to slam into him.
He shook his face off slightly before prying his eyes open about ready to snap at the person when he realized it was just a young girl, "Sorry," She squealed, trying to get off of him, "So sorry!" Sol could tell she was frightened but something was off. She wasn't looking directly at anything. And she was feeling around for something on the ground. 'Is she…blind?' Sol thought, trying to help her up.
"No I'm sorry I wasn't looking," He said before someone else came and nearly shoved him over. He looked up to see a rather large man glaring him down with very intimidating green eyes. His antenna lowered.
"Mia come on, we've gotta go kiddo," The man said quickly, grabbing Mia's arm and hauling her to her feet. She grabbed the first item she felt on the ground which happened to be Sol's medical book and an important one at that. Though she hadn't realized it wasn't her necklace case as Vex drug beside him.
"Mia," Sol repeated to himself, finding himself cocking his head slightly while looking at the girl curiously. Vex shot Sol a death glare while stepping in front of Mia and hurrying to get her going.
They hurried off seconds later with Sol just staring after them, thinking that was the weirdest thing he'd ever seen before noticing the small box the girl had dropped upon slamming into him, "Hey wait!" He shouted to them, "You dropped this!" He waved his arms around but got no response out of the fleeing Irkens.
Sighing he looked at the box curiously, "Mia," he repeated, liking how it rolled off his tongue. A small smile etched onto his face as he looked back up towards where they ran off to. He threw the box up a little bit before catching it and turning on his heel, "Mia," He said again, his smile growing slightly.
He trotted back to his office, hardly noticing Difetto waving his arms-both robotic and real- around, trying to get his attention. Areo gave him a funny look as he sat down in front of his computer and set the box down, "Alright, spill it what's going on?"
"I," Sol said, proudly, "Just met a girl."
Difetto's jaw dropped in shock as Areo broke out laughing hysterically, "You," He pointed at sol, "Just met a woman, a real woman?"
"Yes you idiot," Sol snapped, punching his friend in the arm hard, "And she was pretty."
"Ohhhohohoho," Areo chuckled, elbowing his mute brother in the arm, "She must be blind." Difetto smiled, showing his sharp teeth and nodded, his bright leafy green, dark rimmed eyes glinting with humor. He had to black stripes leading from his eyes down to his jaw line under each eye that would shift whenever he was laughing, however no sound would come out. He was mute at birth which is why his mother named him Difetto, or Defect in Italian. However sometimes it was hard to tell when he was showing emotion because his skin was really dark green, being dark enough to compete with the black stripes under his eyes.
"Actually, I think she is. Her friend seemed to be her guide and she dropped this," Sol said, showing his friends the box containing the priceless necklace that Vex just managed to bargain out of a stupid market owner. That and the market owner was a girl whom clearly had a great interest in Vex, "Sadly she ran off with my medical book…but that's alright."
"So what, you met her for like five seconds?"
"Well…yes," Sol shrugged, "Her name is Mia and I am going to find her at the ball, to give this back."
"If she goes to the ball," Areo muttered with his brother slowly nodding next to him.
A/N: OHOHOHOHOOOO So clearly there's a lot going on right now. Next chapter is what we've all been waiting forrrr THE BALL! C: YAY! Well anyways, what'd you think? Do you guys like Sol, Areo and Difetto? I love their brotherly bonds...well areo and Difetto ARE brothers but still. Also the chapters will probably be getting longer from now on, like thirteen to fifteen pages worth so sorry about all the words, I know it can get hard to read sometimes but I hope you'll enjoy it anyways!
Review responses:
Treefroggs77: GURRRL XD I know, Jax is a naughty boy XDDD *Shot* anyways, yes anyone who asks has persmisson to draw anyone from any of my books, but if you don't ask, there would be hell to pay XD. And yes immature little bitch from hell does describe WAY to many people in RL. I know how you feel. I'll post pictures of Skipper on deviant art soon! and reply to the rp! Also for chp. 17, thank you for sparing me the embarrassment. It was mainly supposed to be sweet and cute and yes I love how Jaxy and Tabby fell asleep together too, it's lovely and romantic. I being the creeper I am would probably just snuggle up in between them and be like "Wassup?" XD And Vex and Mia's relationship is very loving. Vex is sucker for kids.
FRITTER! Bro, I know Zim is very interesting and totally second best line ever! I agree 100% "THROW ME OUT A WINDOW!" Can you just imagine? XD. Anyways I personally dislike lemons too XD Love the description by the way. Jax's and tabs 'lemon' wouldn't even be in there unless it was a huge part of the plot line that a lot of things fall back onto. Mostly hate and mistakes but you'll all see XD. But yes, I feel your passion of hate for lemons and sex scenes it honestly is very dumb but I am not just some sex craving teen, I am a dedicated writer who must plan each action carefully to work with the rest of the story. Which you will see that scene does in many ways or it wouldn't even exist XD.
Ir: I didn't hear from you last chapter! (can't imagine why) But anyways, I hope you're having hella fun during this wonderful summer time instead! But I hope to hear back from you again soon! You're my incredible reviewer XD. Anyways yes, Vex and his young side are allowed to freely run around and frolick when I let them. I love his younger side because he's so full of vim n' viger it's just hella fun to write about. Plus he could care less if he gets hurt or not XD. Hope you're having a wonderful day/night as well!
