Haha haha haaaa…I took a nap after school, so once again this is later than I wanted to post…but it's done? I have all the way to day 23 written...almost there Lex, almost!
SO REGARDING Sweater, Pie, and Cider! I WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING ANY REQUESTS FOR THEM PAST THE 23RD OF THE MONTH OKAY? I really need to write them before I go on vacation on the 27th, so to make that easier, I'll be shutting down requests past that date. So if you want something specific, better do it soon :P
WARNING: ALIENS! It may not seem like it, but there are Aliens :D
ENJOY!
Ace hated the assholes at school. He hated his Grandpa too, for that matter.
He knew, he could tell immediately, that those assholes were tricking him, taking advantage of his inability to see for a "joke". But Gramps thought the invite was a chance for Ace to make friends, to get himself out there.
What did he need to get himself out there for? He had Luffy and his friends…he didn't need anyone else. He couldn't trust others to not take advantage of him.
That's how he ended up in the middle of a corn field, no cane, no phone, and walking aimlessly along a path with his hand on the corn "wall".
Only a fucking asshole would leave a blind person in a goddamn maze.
Ace could feel frustrated tears prick at the corner of his eyes.
He was going to die out here.
Gramps thought he was out with "friends", and Luffy was at Zoro's until Sunday. No one else would miss him or care to look for him, especially not the assholes that left him here.
"Dammit!" He cursed and punched the corn, wobbling as it simply bent over.
He quieted almost immediately as he heard rustling from nearby. Ace waited a second to see if he was just hearing things but the sound repeated and he couldn't help but feel some hope for not dying in a random maze.
"Hello?" Ace called hesitantly, wary of the people being potential murderers or something. Probably should have thought all the way through before calling out.
"Is someone there?" He started walking towards the rustling, thinking they would second guess killing him if they could see sightless eyes.
That plan backfired easily as his corn "wall" abruptly stopped and the noises were louder.
"Excuse me? Can you help me?" See? He can be polite!
The noises completely stopped and Ace could feel his heart beat in his fingers. He really hoped that whoever these people/persons were that they wouldn't kill him. That would be a shitty end to an already shitty day.
Ace remained completely still as voices reached his ears, whatever they were talking about it wasn't English…or Portuguese…or any other language he knew of.
"Hello?"
"I have never seen a human so calm at the sight of us, dalrig, yoi."
Ace tilted his head at the English and not-English, not expecting the sudden change. After he fully processed the sentence, however, he got angry. He was blind. His ugly milky white eyes showed that fairly obviously, or so all the assholes at school constantly said.
He didn't get a chance to say anything because the other strange person did.
"Indeed…maybe he has seen one of us before?"
"I do not believe so, lurkvo, no one from the colony has come here yet. Maybe this one is just used to strange sights?"
"Oh? You think he might be one of those strange sight see-ers Koala mentioned? Likes to see things not from here?"
Ace couldn't stop the explosion that came from his mouth if he tried.
"I can't see anything, you fucking morons! I'm blind! Now can you fucking help me find a way out of this fucking maze or are you just going to talk like aliens?!"
He was puffing after his yell, cheeks reddening at the silence from the other two…he didn't mean to explode that much…
"That makes much more sense, yoi."
"We are not from here, human, we have no idea where to take you."
Ace was a bit put out by how calm they both were being, but he wasn't going to "look" a gift horse in the mouth.
"If you could just show me to the road or a phone, that'd be great…those assholes that left me here took mine."
"Certainly. Here, take our hands."
The roll of relief was almost instantaneous as Ace lifted both hands for the grip of the two others, glad they would be kind enough to lead him, a stranger.
"Oh thank y-"
He cut himself off as one hand was gripped by something soft, slimy, and slightly squishy, the other wrapped in something rough, feathery, and hard. Ace's mouth dropped as the two opposing feelings started leading him forward.
"You were not far off in your earlier assessment, human."
Twin chuffs, laughs really, surrounded him as he took in that particularly revealing information.
Aliens…he was being "saved" by aliens…what the fuck?
Hope you enjoyed it!
