Chapter 40: Home Visit 3/3
Robert couldn't help smiling a little as he gazed around the neighborhood that had remained untouched as it was far from the Turpinville City that had been attacked. On both sides of the proceeding couple, rested numerous one story houses, each in front of walls of forest, some trees parted enough for there to be perfectly paved dirt paths leading in multiple directions. Though it was a bit of surprising choice, considering that Ava was now technically rich via her dad's(Whenua Metru) financial support, it was nothing new to Robert. Starting out, he and his parents first lived in a hut, then in a one story house much like the ones in this neighborhood, before he had eventually moved out on his own, using his nature-based experiences to feast on cooked Rahi, and bird eggs, whilst also living in a large tree house. But as Robert doubted Ava would want to spend the rest of her life in a tree house, it was a good thing he had a good paying job with the Toa Voya, and the Toabots, working $20 an hour. With that kind of money, he and Ava would both be able to live long and decent lives, raising children as well if God had placed that desire into her heartlight.
A few minutes of silence had passed by before Robert eventually spoke: "Where did you location-say this was"?
"It's just down the street. Second house to the left." Ava replied, slightly craning her neck to catch a glimpse of the house she called home. Her smile broadened the second she spotted it. It didn't look like much, a dull off-white, one story house that seriously needed a good wash down from all the dirt and grime on it, and was halfway overrun with blue and white morning glories that reached up to the brown roof...wait, was it brown or black? Ava could never really tell as in the light it looked brown to her but it looked black to her dad. It reminded her of the "what color is the dress?" picture that had started trending again.
Robert followed her line of sight and smiled as he responded: "Ah, I clear-see it". Then with a smirk, and while Ava wasn't looking, Robert swept Ava up into his arms and activated his wings, flying the rest of the way to the grey door, whilst also once again thanking The Lord for his natural talents as a Toa, as they provided many options for many situations. Including being able to get himself and his girlfriend to her house as soon as possible.
"Thank you for the lift, Rob." Ava giggled, kissing his cheek gently with a smile.
Robert smiled happily, returning the gesture with a kiss to her cheek as he set her down on her feet and replied: "Any time Cuddle-cutie".
As Ava dug into her pocket slits for her house keys whilst also leading him to the very front of the door, Robert immediately recalled the time he had kissed her on the roof of the base. It had been when she had told him of the times she had been bullied in middle school and how it had made her doubt her attractiveness. Robert had decided to respond with a kiss to correct her, reminding her that he sincerely believed that she was the most gorgeous female Toa on the planet. She had told him not to kiss her again until they were married, though it had been evident that she at least appreciated the gesture. But the experience had also made Robert wonder if she had actually enjoyed it. As childish as it may have sounded for a male Toa to wonder if he were a good kisser, he had put in some effort to try to make it memorable without including tongue. Something of which Robert may never do if Ava liked mint, a flavor he was appalled with. Regardless, he still had to know: 'Did she like it'?
"Hey Ava"? Robert asked nervously, whilst playing with his thumbs.
Glancing over at him, her smile turned into a concerned look when she noticed his nervousness. "Yes, Robert?"
Robert paused for a moment. "You remember bad-timing-day when I mouth-kissed you"? He asked, still playing with his thumbs as a slight hint of nervousness settled on his mask.
Ava nodded. "I remember." How could she not? It had caught her off guard and had been her first kiss. She still found herself thinking about it every now and then, doing her best not to blush in public at the memory.
Roberts blush grew a bit more as he said: "As bad-timed as it was, uh... I always wondered, and I know it's silly for me to ask but... how did I do"?
Ava smiled softly to herself as his question resurfaced the memory of his lips gently molding against hers in a sooth, love-filled kiss. "You did wonderfully." She grinned at him.
This action had made Robert feel a little relieved, whilst also making him blush a little. Ava blushed as well, the sensation of the kiss lingering on her lips again.
Upon noticing the awkward silence, Robert decided to discard that memory for a moment as he then asked: "May I uh, sight-see the inside? Inside your house I say-meant".
He asked this question whilst his teeth were chattering as it had begun to snow again and it was at least 20 degrees Celsius. Maze would've been more used to this weather as he was a Toa of Ice, but he was a Toa of Storms, on who was not exactly used to these more harsh environments. All he could do with his element was create lightning storms or tornadoes. Although sometimes he could do both simultaneously via lightning inside the tornado. But never a blizzard or anything of the such, and it almost made Robert sad. But then again, if Robert had become used to freezing temperatures, he would never have needed a coat, which would've deprived him of a romantic gesture he could make to Ava if she were ever absent of one. Robert immediately chuckled as the scenario of that gesture between Pow and Amber hit his mind. It would've been more awkward between those two as Amber was a Toa of ice, and Robert would've laughed a little if he saw it. 'Meh, I'll laugh-share that with Ava later'. Robert quickly decided, for the case of which he would never get to see that.
Smiling, Ava unlocked the door and lead him inside, revealing clean, pure white walls, from which hung pictures of family and friends, as well as some ancient, Oriental paintings, with dark, redwood floors, giving the impression that the inside belonged in a palace. Natural sunlight flooded in from the wall of glass in the living room made up of three large panels that reached from the marble, crown molding to the waist high, red satin window seat. Draped over the windows were dark green silk curtains which had silver bird of paradise embroidered along the borders. Multicolored quartz crystals gleamed in their glass terrarium on the small, glass top, mahogany coffee table that sat between the window seat and the matching lounge chair that was pressed up against the back of a grey velvet couch which sat across from it's matching loveseat and recliner, with a medium, circular, mahogany coffee table sitting in the middle, within easy reaching space. All this, save the lounge chair, rested on a large, white, plush rug that seemed to sparkle like fresh snow in the sunlight. In the wall behind the living room, sat a large fireplace decorated with a marble mantle and mahogany shelf upon which rested three Ming vases that each held white orchids and above them, was a large screen television with a three panel painting hung on either side. To the right of the room, the green marble top of the kitchen could be seen and beyond it, the mahogany-framed, three paneled, accordion sliding door that led to the backyard.
"Do you like it?" Ava asked, smiling happily.
Robert smiled brightly, impressed with the house's interior and with the skills God had granted her for decoration. "I great-love it". Robert responded. Then smiling lovingly at Ava: "Though, I believe the one standing is more beautiful".
Ava blushed at his words. "Thank you. Would you like something to drink? Water? Apple juice?"
Robert responded with a smile: "Water would be fine".
"Alright. Be right back." Ava skipped into the kitchen happily.
As Ava poured him a glass of water, Robert took a moment to admire each of the various paintings and vases around the living room, including a hung up vorox tail which Robert felt should have been familiar for some reason. But before Robert could continue pondering this, he noticed a rather odd news report on TV, being covered by a Ga-Matoran, and displaying a photo of a trailer-like house in Tommyville, and a few drag marks outside of it.
"Just earlier last week a giant muscular Skakdi with a skull of blue, was reported to have stopped a raid at the house belonging to Joey, a Ko-matoran inventor-"
Before Robert could hear any more about this strange news report, he heard his girlfriend walk in, the two water glasses in hand.
At that moment, Ava walked back in holding two, tall glasses of water. As she hands him his glass, she notices the same news report. "Huh, that's odd." Why in the world would anyone attack Joey's place? It didn't make any sense. Yes, Joey was known to be a brilliant inventor but she doubted any of his inventions were involved in anything to get that mad about.
"Hm". Robert replied whilst nodding in agreement. Before his mind could wander any further on this news report, another question came up in his mind, which he then asked: "So, I've been wondering, who are your birth-parents"?, whilst also taking an annoyingly loud sip of his glass of water.
Come to think of it, this conversation had never come up between the two of them. They had talked about hobbies, favorite restaurant, favorite foods, birthdays, school stories, childhood memories, and various other things. Once, the two had even tried to talk about types of trees out of desperation just to talk. But never before about either one of their parents. 'At least I get to find out who her parents are now'. Robert thought. 'And her mine '.
"My mother is a Le-Toa named Skyress and my father is Toa Whenua Metru." Ava told him happily, her face showing how much she loved her parents.
Robert smiled. "My mother was a Ga-Toa named Vesi, and my dad was the Glatorian Gresh".
Ava's eyes went wide in shock at that. "No way. THE Glatorian Gresh?! Dad used to talk about him all the time!" She grinned brightly. "He said he was one of the best Glatorians he ever met." She remembered the fond smile that would spread over Whenua's face whenever he mentioned Gresh.
Whenua chuckled, "He was so inquisitive about everything. He loved to learn. Every day, he would come to me with what seemed like a thousand questions, wanting to hear stories of Metru and Mata Nui, the history of the Matoran and Toa, how our cultures had been, the different gifts and skills each of us possess, what we used to do a Matoran, how we became Toa, everything. But when he asked me about the types of Kanohi, I told him to ask Vakama since he was the mask maker of the group. Vakama later told me the next day that he hadn't been able to get any work done that day thanks to Gresh badgering him about the mask making process and how Kanoka disks are made. Two days later, Gresh approaches me with an old diary written in Matoran, asking me what it says. But instead of telling him that," Whenua looked a bit sad as he looked at his hands, "I took the diary from him and told him to ask Nokama to teach him how to read Matoran if he really wanted to know. After he left, I hid the book away. That was the only time I ever snapped at him about something. I felt bad later on and apologized about it. Despite him being a proven, battle hardened Glatorian, I had to remember that he was still young and curious. I should not have lashed out at him for asking about something precious." He smiled gently. "He forgave me instantly when I explained why I had snapped at him, saying he would have done the same if the tables had been turned. That's when I hugged him and asked why couldn't Lewa and Matau be as considerate as him, causing him to laugh and reply that it was probably that thin air that they fly around in while he prefers to stay on the ground with the rest of the "normal" folk."
Robert blinked in surprise. "Really"? He asked, allowing the shock to carry over into his voice, having originally figured that her favorite Glatorian would've been Ackar, as he had been quite the warrior back in his younger days, from what his dad had told him at least. She nodded. "Wow".
Robert allowed a moment of silence to pass between as he sipped his water and continued watching the news report, whilst his mind was on something else. Though the two had only been dating for a couple days, Robert still couldn't help but think about how much he truly cared for Ava. He had cared more for her than he had originally thought possible. Though he had enjoyed taking an every once in a while chance to tease her, it didn't mean he didn't care about her. If a Makutacon ever got too close to her tomorrow, he was ready to take the hit for her, even if it meant dying to protect her. He was even willing to use the money he had saved, for a special occasion. An occasion he couldn't keep himself from asking anymore. Hypothetically anyway.
Then looking over to his girlfriend: "So, think-imagine we were going to move-live together, would you like that"("You thought he was going to ask the marry me question? Think again"! #Z)?
Sure, he loved the house she currently owned, but he could already tell it lacked the space to raise a family when he eventually WOULD ask her to marry him. With that in mind, Robert guessed that now would be the perfect time to ask her about the possibility of living together as all the women in his life, including Ava, tended to be better at planning those kinds of matters than he was. He specifically remembered how his mother would always try to plan all the important things in their family. Gresh had TRIED to help, and she had definitely appreciated the gesture, but still, she was better. Also, Gresh and Ave both worked with the military under funding from SOTA, making $40 per hour. That alone would guarantee their chances of living together should Ava decide to do so. But he wouldn't pressure her into it. He loved her far too much to do that to her.
Ava sipped on her water quietly in thought. As much as she loved her home, she had been planning on getting a place of her own. Initially, her plan was to invite her friends to become her roommates if they wanted, but the idea of living with the man she loved pleased her. "Yes, I would like that very much."
This made Robert grin widely, whom was happy at his success in their relationship. The very fact that Ava was not opposed the the idea of living with him, meant she enjoyed his company vastly. That, and that she trusted him enough to actually be willing to live under the same roof. Robert had actually been planning to ask if he could rest on her couch too, since it was snowing outside, but he had been a bit scared to ask as he knew she would say yes, but didn't want her to feel uncomfortable or pressured. This answer had definitely put his mind to ease on that question.
A couple seconds later, Robert noticed movement in the corner of his eye, to the far left of the living room. Robert calmed himself and smiled in relief as a calico cat, two years old, walked in, eying them both curiously, whilst also meowing what he assumed was either a "Hello." or a "Who is he?", to Ava.
With a growing smile of affection, Robert asked: "Who is this pretty-cat"?
Following his gaze, Ava smiled lovingly at her darling cat that her dad gave her as a Christmas gift. "Oh, this is Asha." She watched calmly as Asha meowed again and rubbed her legs before slowly approaching Robert to sniff him over. After a few minutes of sniffing, and a sneeze that made Ava giggle, Asha decided to accept Robert and greeted him by rubbing herself against his legs, purring loudly.
Roberts smile grew wide as he began to scratch below the feline's cheek and asked her: "Great-hi purr-spitter. Is your pretty-mom a good-mom?", of course referring to Ava as he also scratched behind the kitty's pointed earlobe.
Asha's purrs got louder as she enjoyed the scratching Robert was giving her, leaning into his hand for more. "She really likes you." Ava giggled, enjoying seeing her cat at ease with him.
Robert smiled. "I've always been good with purr-spitters".
Ever since Robert had been five, he had always had a liking to cats and had treated every one he ever came across to much attention and food, which needless to say had led a lot of strays their way. His mother always scolded Robert for this, telling him they didn't have enough money to keep feeding these little guys. Gresh however, had found it adorable and saw no problem with it, even going as far as to feed the cats himself, which understandably upset his wife. Since those days, Robert had still continued to show kindness towards many felines.
As Robert began petting her back and neck, he turned his head towards Ava and decided to ask a question on another matter: "May I see your sleep-room"? Then raising his free hand in surrender: "Not for ill-purposes, I promise".
As silly as it may have sounded, Robert had always been curious about what her bedroom looked like. In a way it would help to get to know her better as most of the military base dorm rooms were bland and showed no sense of character traits. Tali's was an exception as she had always been the quickest to decorate a room out of both teams, and also to place bare essentials in, which was the reason why Amber came over her dorm to borrow crystals for her jewelry. Then again, they had all only been to the base for a short amount of time, and Ava probably would've ended up decorating at some point, but now that that base was gone, this was his only chance at getting to learn more about her on a more visual level.
"Of course." Ava smiled softly, seeing no problem with showing off her room, as she lead the way down the hall to her room, Asha keeping pace right along beside her.
Robert in turn chuckled as he followed after the two, also taking a moment to look at the hallway. On both sides of the hall were various display cases of what looked to be parts of ancient machinery and old weapons that her distant relatives may have used, and many framed pictures of herself, Whenua, and whom he assumed to be her mother. In each picture, she looked so happy. At peace even. If she had missed being around her family. Though everyone at the base had felt like family, Ava had grown up with and knew her parents far better than said friends. She had shared more precious moments with them too including birthdays, Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and even parental days. Sure, there may have been bad days here and there, but they were still clearly a good family blessed with enough good memories to outweigh the bad ones.
Robert smiled more as he turned to look at Ava, who was now right next to him, noticing that same happiness on her mask as he planted a kiss on her cheek and made a prayer of thanks for the fact that he was able to make her as happy as her family did. It was especially a good thing if they were going to live together in the near future. Robert never wanted to pressure Ava into anything, including living with him if there were anything about him that made her feel the least bit uncomfortable with the idea. Sure, there would probably be challenges to come with the prospect of living together, but he would not let that get in the way of making his gift from God happy.
Smiling brightly, Ava leaned over and kissed Robert's cheek happily while saying a silent prayer of thanks that he was brought into her life. He really brightened up her life in a way none of her friends could. She loved him dearly and made a quiet promise that no matter what, she would always be there for him, whether in war on the battlefield or in the battles that they would certainly face when they live together. She knew there would be times that they would disagree about something but she refused to let such things separate them. But she would never leave him for anything in the world. Besides, where would she find such a kind and funny guy like him? He always knew how to make her laugh and knew how far to tease her without her getting mad at him. it was a rare skill indeed.
Robert continued to smile happily at her, almost forgetting where he was as they treaded closer towards Ava's room. As a child, Robert had never understood how a smile from his mother could make Gresh so agreeable. It all appeared to be so odd, and at times manipulative. Robert had even dared to think at that young age that a woman's smile would never get that kind of reaction out of him. But then at least fifty years later, he met Ava and her smile was strong enough to turn any anger he had due to a stressful day at the base, into a storm of happiness, no pun intended. But now Robert understood why Gresh was so agreeable with his wife over a simple smile. It was because he genuinely loved her and wanted to try his best to keep her smiling. Not out of fear as Robert sometimes wondered, but out of love.
"Here we are." Ava grinned brightly as she opened the door to her room, unphased as Asha walked in and jumped on her bed to play with a cute stuffed animal. One of what looked like a thousand actually. Ava's room looked like a zoo of the cutest, stuffed animals on Earth. Piled up in front of her headboard and taking half of her bed were the adult and cub versions of every member of the feline family who gazed up longingly at the canopy that overflowed with every colorful bird ever documented. Smiling monkeys of all colors of the rainbow climbed up and slid down her bed poles, taunting the glittering dolphins and sea turtles that filled the trunk at the foot of her bed. Watching the spectacle were the members of the canine family, specifically the wolves, which occupied her window seat to keep a safe distance from the oversized brown bear with its smaller cousins and cubs who made their home in the corner of the room next to Ava's mini library while keeping an eye on the giant sparkling anaconda that draped itself lazily over the top of the shelves. Watching over them all from above was the giant giraffe, her head nearly touching the ceiling as she made sure all occupants stayed in their respective positions.
Robert chuckled at the sight as he playfully commented: "I see your purr-spitter has great-number of fur-friends"., whilst also planning on teasing her about being a stuffed animal hoarder later. Jokingly of course. Though Robert believed in limits to the ownership of stuffed animals, it didn't really bother him much. Especially not when it made his girlfriend happy. Even if she had shoes decorating the room, Robert wouldn't bother making too critical of comments. The hobby made her happy and that was what mattered. But he would still pray for the extra patience later just in case.
"Yeah, I just love stuffed animals." Ava giggled. "They are just so adorable." Faint rustling drew her attention back to her bed. She blinked, not all that concerned when she noticed her kitten wasn't there anymore. Shrugging a shoulder, she started to turn back to Robert when she thought again of the sound that had drawn her attention in the first place. 'I wonder...' Ava thought, smirking to herself as she slowly scanned over the felines. 'One of these things is not like the other, and it...is...you.' Spotting her mischievous cat sitting still among the toys, she burst out laughing. "Ah-ha! I see you, Asha!" Meowing in defeat, the little calico freed herself from her stuffed friends and jumped off the bed to play elsewhere in the room.
With a smirk, Robert teased You used "just" twice.
Ava giggles. "So? They are!"
Robert chuckled then, asking: "Any kind-species you don't like"? Though he deeply treasured Ava in his heartlight, he still wouldn't mind scaring her every once in a while. Especially not if she were a little afraid of the one he brought, as Tali had actually told him earlier that she loved stuffed animals. It wouldn't happen on a daily basis. Again, he treasured his girlfriend far too much to put a daily dose of fear in her life. It would only be a once in while thing. He would try to give her everything she wanted every other day. That wasn't to say Jesus wouldn't come first though. In all things, it was important to place him above all else. Even if it meant losing something else of value, it was worth serving the very definition of love. After all, what could ever be worth more than a loving relationship with the God who had knit you in your mothers womb with much care and adoration? Nothing, Robert had concluded. Nothing.
"Snakes." Ava shuddered. "They look too real." She glanced over at the one over her bookcase, glad that it wasn't that scary looking.
Robert tilted his head in confusion. 'Snakes'? Robert wondered. 'Why would she be fearful of stuffed-toy snakes'? True, in nature they were vicious creatures, but they were tamable. They weren't monsters. They were just as much of an animal as all of the others. Robert even remembered playing with one when he was much younger and it had never made a threatening action towards him. 'Well I guess I'm crossing getting a pet snake off of my bucket list'. Robert thought.
Noticing his confusion, Ava chuckled, "Other than spiders. When it comes to stuffed animals, Snakes and spiders top the list." Ava didn't really mind the stuffed toy versions, especially those with wide, glittery eyes. Those were just so adorable that she couldn't resist them.
"WHAT"? Robert teased with a fake expression of shock. "Cotton-web-spitters are adorable. I've got a cotton-web-spitter now for valid-proof". As Robert was saying that, he had begun reaching into his bag for the stuffed animal he had bought for Ava earlier, which was indeed a stuffed spider.
Thinking he was pulling out an actual spider, Ava let out a squeak in fear and fled to the nearby giraffe for cover, gingerly peaking at him from over it's head.
Robert smirked at first, happy that he had taken the opportunity to get a squeak out of her as he found it adorable, before then offering the stuffed spider to her, smiling softly as he said in a more soothing and gentle tone: "Come on, cuddle-cutie, look-gaze". Sure, she wasn't likely to trust him at the moment, but he hoped that calling her by her nickname would've at least put odds in his favor. Plus, her fearful expressions did become guilt-inducing after a while, and therefore prayed that he wouldn't make too often of a habit out of it.
After all, Robert had recalled that there was a Bible verse talking about how a husband shouldn't put his wife through much stress just for the sole purpose of making her life stressful. True, they weren't married yet, but he wanted to do right by her and treat this relationship like it was. So as to hopefully help Ava to mentally entertain the possibility of a marriage with him one day. It was a big step in a relationship after all, and to be honest he was a little worried for Ops and Tali as they were engaged within mere days of knowing each other. The only logical explanation for that had to be that they had genuinely loved each other from the moment they had first met. Robert had loved Ava the same way, but there were vast options for her to consider as far as actually getting married were concerned. Even if she did love him, women still had a tenancy to analyze their boyfriend, even if unintentionally, like a valedictorian would a college text book. Even if she did love him as much, she would be more thoughtful of what their interactions meant or what they could lead to if she decided to share her future with him. Because of that, Robert knew he had to be careful, or possibly risk losing her forever via unintentionally creating a conflict never to be resolved.
Biting her lip, Ava stepped out to get a better look at the stuffed spider. What she saw melted her heartlight. The spider had white fur that was decorated with red and pink hearts of varying sizes, and the biggest pair of glittery, pink eyes she had every seen! "Aaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww!" She cooed. It was the most adorable thing she had ever seen in her life!
Robert's slightly worrying expression instantly turned to one of intense relief as he moved his hand with the stuffed spider closer to her, offering it as kindly as he could, in again considering his earlier thought process and the fact that in being one of the best Toa, she would most likely be able to read body language. 'Don't know why I didn't think of that before'. Robert thought, though he prayed that he would consider that as well whenever he was around her, though not to the point that he would treat her like a thin glass vase. That irritated women as well, and it would certainly irritate Ava, being a female Toa. Female, plus Toa, could potentially equal much more temperament in certain circumstances. Therefore leading Robert to make a change to his prayer, that he would treat her with care, but not so much as to come off as annoying or smothering.
Without hesitation, Ava scooped the spider into her arms and cuddled it happily. "It's so CUTE!" She squealed happily. "Thank you, Robert!"
Robert smiled at her reaction, and her high pitched squeal as he responded: "You're welcome".
Though he was most certainly worried earlier, her reaction told him that he was on the right track as far as being successful in their relationship went. It almost made him forget how optimistic she could be for a moment. Not that he had ever thought that she was rude or anything, though he hadn't known her for too long. But again, because women did tend to analyze men like a file, Robert did want to stay on her good side, and he seemed to be making progress. Where some males probably would've made a mistake, and spent the rest of the day chasing her around with an actual arachnid, he wasn't that kind of person. Well, he would most likely do it one day, but not too often. He valued their relationship and her comfortability way too much for that. But, seeing her happy was definitely a highlight, and an image he treasured.
His attention was removed from her pretty smile for a moment however, as he began to notice the heavy snowstorm raging outside, having already covered a majority of bushes under the darker sky. Though Robert didn't really like the cold as much as some other people, preferring a junglish environment, it did give him an opportunity to show some politeness to Ava tomorrow. The kind of coat offering politeness in particular. Again, he hated the cold, but there was no way he was going to let Ava freeze outside. 'Wait'. Robert thought. 'She's taller than me. Would my warm-jacket even fit, or would it be too big? She's not too tall, but still'! Regardless, Robert guessed that if her winter coat got damaged in battle, he would give her his own when he got the chance. By chance, of course, he meant when Makutacons weren't busy firing at them.
"Great". Robert commented. "This bad-war is about to get cold".
"Hmm, looks like we need to grab something warmer before we head back out." Ava said, cuddling closer to Robert as she looked out the window as well.
Robert nodded in agreement with a "hm". Before then adding with a smirk: "I don't know, you look cuddle-warm".
"I could say the same about you." Ava chuckled, leaning closer to him, earning a blush from the Toa of Storms.
