Short stories

Is the hero the villain?

I was pinned to the ground by my bestie Gavin. His brown eyes observing my covered face and every move ment I make. I yawned, "Could you get off of me?"
"And let you escape no"
"Gavin you cant deny it."

He froze as i started to smile. The sent of fire came to my nose. "Ooo your town is getting burnt to the ground right now and your here pinning me down. Gavin." I remarked in a teasing tone.

His head made a sharp turn to look at the town and thought for a second. He huffed air out of his nose. "Im not a person named Gavin so get it out of your big head." He released me and he stood looking down at me. "If you ever change your mind im always here." I reported.

"Stop asking its not happening." He snapped back at me. His brown hair was messed up from the previous fight and the wind his clothing was tattered and he still wore that damn mask. Acting like a hero we all know he's not a hero.

"what ever makes you sleep at night Gav. Any-who unlike you i gotta blast." i walked to the edge of the building and fell backwards. One of my kind companions caught me. "Thanks."

Gavin or in other words 'The Hero' looked down from were i fell to see im missing. I run off to my home and change in the shed and sneak into my home, i fall into my bed and looked at my ceiling. After a second i acted like im asleep as for i heard my Mom rush out of her room to wake me and my two siblings up. She ran into my room and told me to get up then went to my siblings room to do the same.

I took a minute to get up to make it look more real. "Mom whats wrong?" I questioned tilting my head slightly.

"That damn villain group set some of the building on fire." She said picking up the youngest.
"But wont Helios stop it?" My siblings ask at the same time.
"The hero? Most likely but we gotta evacuate just in case." My mom answered. I cringed slightly hearing Gavins hero name.

-time skip-

A villain being saved by a hero sounds wrong but it happens. How did this happen? How did he become a hero? How did i become a villain? Im honestly unsure. This only started because I wanted something. No I needed that thing I just can't remember that thing. I guess my motive wasn't that important. Me and Gavin have been stuck to the hip since I could remember. Those random thoughts popped in to my head as I watched the fire get put out.

Helios walked over to the evacuated people. He searched through the people once he saw my family he relaxed. "Are any of you hurt?" he asked. No one responded. The young girls were shaking in there boots. Honestly if i were them i would be shaking and fan girling over 'Ason' or to be exact ME but in my fine outfit. So what if i called myself Arson is a pretty cool name. "Hey Ben you ok?" My mom asked breaking me out of my thoughts I just nodded back watching the flames.

Maybe my crew went over bord this time but for a good reason. The area i was at was packed and smelt like sweat why is it so packed its a fucking foot ball felid. "I have to use the bathroom." I said.
"Right now?" My mom said
"Yes Martha right now." I replied sharply.
"Fine hurry up then."
"K bye."
I walked to the entrance and walked out. Once I got out I ran towards my house. So what if im the villain? Those flames are getting to close to my fucking bed. So ima help. I ran into the shed and changed into my fine~ outfit and nice mask. My outfit consists of nude colors like brown and grays. Its something like Jd's outfit in heathers but my face is covered i also have a hood. I sneak out of the shed and backyard the bolt to were flames were spreading. I was enhanced by the fire. I hear footsteps behind me. "So your helping me now?" I heard the cocky voice of Gavin.
"Yeah yeah just this one time the fire wasn't supposed to be this bad so say Bye-bye to the flames." I focused on the flames and they went poof.
"There goes the pretty flames." I say with a pout,"Also spread the word My name isn't 'Damn villains' Its Arson."

He stayed quite. "Well Jd lookin ass, ill spread the word."He suddenly said.

"This," I made a big circle motion, "Never happened." I ran off.

I was chillin at school(after school) in my car for a good 10 mins before i heard a knock. I looked up from my book to see the hero himself i let him in the car. "Hey Gavin didn't see ya last night at the evacuation party last night." I said at the boy who was now entering the back of my car quietly.

"Shut up Benjamin i have a head ache." He grumbled and layered down after closing the door.

"Alright boo thang. Whats your designation today good sir?"

"Home."

I place a bookmark in the between the pages facing the bright colored side to the page I was reading and put it on my passenger seat. I backed my car out of the parking spot an drove out of the student parking lot. We drove in silence its was comfortable though I look through the back view mirror and seen him laying down.

"Id buckle up if I were you."

"Ill be fine."

"Thats what they all say dum dum."
I checked to see if there was anyone behind me once I was in the clear I slammed on my brakes and continued. A big thump followed by a groan behind me. "Told you to buckle up dum dum." i laughed
"Funk off"
i looked back in rearview mirror and he was sitting up and buckling up.
"Whats wrong bubs?" I asked.
"Stop it your being annoying and i told you my head hurts."
"Well you can get out now were at your house, bye."
"bye benny."
He exits my car and shuts the door.

I got home and fell onto my bed. "Why are you the only one that gets my pain?" i sighed. Sadly my sulking got cut off by a gentle knock at the front door. I stay still and they knock again but louder. I sighed louder and got up to get the door.

I open the door, "Hello, I'm Gabby!" The voice came from the door.
"Uh, Hi?"
"I moved in like a couple days ago, but i just got kicked out to meet people. Whats your name?"
"Oh uh, my named Benjamin, but you can call me Ben or something."
Gabby is a short brunette with brown eyes her face was scattered with freckles.
"Nice to meet you Ben!"
"Same i guess."
"Welp uhh, I'm gonna get going now." She said with a nervous laugh.
"Okay bye." i said closing the door in her face. I walk back to my room inly to remember i have left my book in my car.
"Shiiiit" I grab my keys and walk back to the front door to see that girl walking down my drive way. I ignore her and walk to my little car and grab my book.
"Wait, is that 'Wilder Girls'?" Gabby asked
"Yeah my friend suggested it to me so here I am now bye." I started to walked off to my house.
"Wait! One more question." she said.
I stoped an turned my head signaling her to continue.
"Oh uh, is there really a Villain and Hero in this town?"
"Bruh weren't you here yesterday night? The group of villains set half the place on fire?"
"Oh, yeah sorry for that stupid question."
I walked into the house and closed the door.
