"Ash! Earth to Ash! Are you alright?!" Ash eyes blinked as he lifted his head and came face to face with Team. To be honest he was not quite sure if he was still in a haze of a dream or if he's back in the reality. Or maybe he was still hallucinating. But in order to make sure that this wasn't a dream anymore, he brought up his hand and gave Team cheek a harsh squeeze. In which the latter man hissed in pain and annoyance as he pushed his hand off of him.
"Man if you wanted to pinch my cheeks just say so! You don't need to give us such a scare and have us rush to the airport!" Team replied as he glared at his bestfriend in annoyance while Rose was trying to stifle her laugh.
"I am sorry. I am just making sure I am not dreaming right now."
"Well, it was clear you were in your own world for a moment you know. You just gave the child a scare as you held her in an iron grip. The authorities tried to stop you but you wouldn't
Ash leaned on the wall as he lifted his head and scanned through the crowd at the Grand Avenue bus station. He had been searching for any signs of Malo for half an hour but to no avail. But he supposed it was understandable. The volume of passengers had tripled up since the Wausau Airport was totally destroyed. The only means of transportation available to reach the city is by land or sea. If they can manage to schedule a flight to one of its neighboring cities, the distance is still long and they need to travel via bus or train to reach the city.To make matters worse, ever since the incident, it attracted the media and the rest of the world was curious about what had happened. Wausau's popularity drastically increased as people started to flock to get closer to the action. Why was it Wausau Municipal Airport that vanished from the world in a snap? The news became enlarged and before anyone knew it, it became the talk of the month. Thus, worsening the congestio
Even though it was completely against the White Wolf Clan rules, Malo still made the dangerous move by continuing the communication with them, the exiled ones, and even helping them with their investigation. All because he was doing it for the sake of his old friend. He supposed, that was very heroic of him. To choose his family, friends, and someone special to him over the hard rules of the Authority.If only his father could be like that too . . .Ash quickly shook his head and tried to block the thought of his cruel father from his head. No. He couldn't consider his father a family member right now. If there was a proper term for their relationship, that would be strangers. His father didn't even bother calling them, asking if they were okay. But despite of his disappointment, he found himself somewhat glad that he didn't bother to call. After all, he had a feeling they would only be hurting more if they were to hear cruel and harsh words
"So our Sleeping Beauty finally awoke from his deep slumber and decided to grace us with his oh so lovely presence, huh? Did you finally get the cure to the curse from the Spindle? Oh wait, did your Prince Charming finally kiss you? So much for pretending to be a hero. Now look where it got you." Malo said as he gave a quick glance in Ash direction who blushed at his comment, then looked back at Alexander and gave him a light, playful punch on his shoulder.Alexander rolled his eyes and rubbed his shoulder where Malo playfully hit him and sighed dramatically. "You wound me, Malo. That's all you have to say after I wake up? Do you not love me?" Alexander asked with a faint mock hurt that made the latter man narrow his eyes in return."Oh, believe me. I have so many things to tell you. And some serious lectures and ass-kicking for your stupidity. So-"Malo then turned around to face Alexander direction."Sorry to interrupt
"That is probably Ash." Alexander said and Malo turned around to open the door. And from then a black haired red lips boy entered the room."Uh, I hope I was not interrupting anything?" The door creaked open and Ash asked shyly as his cheeks flooded with blush with the unwanted attention he got from both men as they stared at him. Alexander flashed a heavenly smile when Ash walked towards his bed and he replied."Oh no. We were just done talking. And as usual, Malo lectured me again." Alexander said in an accusing voice as he wiggled his eyebrows in Malo direction. Malo only shrugged in reply."It was your fault for being an idiot, you know. Anyway, I believe I must head out now. I still have some important businesses to attend to. And I guess you need some quality time together.""Of course. I haven't woken up for two weeks and all I want right now is to cuddle with my sweet pea." Alexander interrup
Ash released a heavy sigh as he slumped his shoulders in defeat and dropped the bags he'd carried for at least 4 hours. His feet were hurting from walking and standing around the mall, not to mention he was carrying a hefty pile of bags on both of his shoulders as Alexander made sure to enter each and every one of the boutiques in the mall.One might raise an eyebrow and find it odd, that the Ash who has been trained to have long endurance and stamina as a warrior, would get knocked out just from shopping. But he couldn't help it. Shopping and he were like the opposite poles of the earth, it's like mixing water and oil. It never mixed and will never ever be mixed. Every-time he heard the word shopping, it's like his energy were being sapped by the said activity.And he concluded that Alexander was worse than Rose. Rose may be a shopper Queen but there were times he could persuade her to cut it out already. Enough was enough. But with Alexand
Alexander suddenly grabbed three pair of pants and went to the dressing room, the people around him were taking a step back each moment he took a step forward. A few minutes later the dressing room slammed open and Alexander walked with all his grace and grandeur, before discarding his previous chosen pants and rummaged to find new pair of pants again. Ash just resisted the urge to roll his eyes in annoyance and decided to plug the earphones into his ears. He figured out he needed some time to break away from Alexander shopping wrath. And with the current state he's in right now, it was only a matter of time before he would pass out from exhaustion.And he was indeed right.The rock music seemed to act like a trigger as the music lulled him into a deep slumber. A few minutes later, Ash closed his eyes as he let the darkness creep through him." . . . Wake up."" . . . Wake up." Ash heard a familiar y
"Eat it." Alexander commanded and somehow Ash was mesmerized by Alexander command. He opened his mouth obediently and had his first bite of the fruit. The sweet juice combined with the hot chocolate tasted heavenly. He kept on biting the fruit, being careful not to bite the tips of Alexander fingers which somehow slipped inside his mouth. When he finished eating the fruit, Ash felt his breath hitch as he met Alexander gaze.But the thing was that Alexander was not looking at him, but rather, he was looking at his fingers, which was inside Ash mouth. Ash suddenly felt that the surroundings were too hot."Lick it." Alexander ordered and Ash did hesitantly. He'd only had one French kiss with Alexander before, and he was still not sure what to do. Closing his eyes he tried to imagine what it was like kissing him the first time, and moved his tongue sloppily all over the his fingers. Licking the chocolate off from him and licking him clean.
'Remind me again what the hell am I doing here? I felt like having some sort of Déjà vu for the second damn time.' Ash thought as he groaned and got out from the bathroom. The scene was very familiar to him. Almost the same as to what exactly happened before they went club. Ash just hoped that this night won't turn into a disaster like what happened before. Rose grinned as she eyed him from head to toe, admiring her creation once again. On the inside he was wearing a dark blue polo shirt and the sleeve was rolled up to expose his elbows. The first two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned to expose his pale collarbone. Over it was a black blazer with a silver lining of beads on its edges. The clockwork angel hung around his neck again as his accessory. The rest of them just loved it around Ash neck. Ash didn't really know why, but he felt that the necklace was giving him some sort of . . . protection.
