Part 15

Heisenberg stormed into the meeting church, fully occupied with the other lords.
A much younger Alcina rolled her eyes upon his arrival. "Oh dear, the idiot man-thing is here."
Karl shot her a dirty look and sat down on his pew, the one he always sat on.
"Karl." Miranda bellowed, eyed narrowed.
"You're late."
"Sorry, Mother." Karl grumbled, leaning back and crossing his arms. His hat casted a shadow on his face.
A young Donna let Angie hop down from her lap, who then ran up to Karl, chittering.
"Oooh! Uh oh! Uh oh! Karl's in trouble!!" Angie laughed.
Karl stood up, glaring at the doll darkly.
"He's in trouble! He's in- AGHHHH!"

The teenager gripped Angie by the throat and pulled her up into the air. Flailing, Angie was screeching.
"Put her down!!" Donna gasped, standing up from her seat.
"Put me down! Put me down!!" The doll screeched.
Heisenberg's eyes met with Donna's.
"If this little creepy-ass doll bothers me again, I will not hesitate to fucking punt her. Do you understand me?"
"F-fine! Just put Angie down! Don't do anything to her!" Donna panicked.
Karl lightly let the doll fall to the ground. She landed on her behind, jumped up, and skittered back to Donna.
"Karl! That's horrible! Why would you do that?!?" Alcina yelled.
"That is no way to treat a girl!"
"Oh, who fucking cares? It's a doll, Alcina!" Karl snapped back.
Donna hugged the doll in her arms, tightly.
"Who cares?!? Donna cares! I care! That's a horrible way to treat anybody! Is the position of lord getting to your head, you stupid boy??" The tall girl screamed.
"Stupid?? Oh, I'm stupid??" Karl scoffed.
Alcina scowled, pure rage written on her face.
"Oh, I know what's happening. That stupid girl." She snarled. "FORGET ABOUT HER. She's GONE."

Pure, raw anger welled up in the boy's chest.
"She's not fucking stupid. You mind your own fucking business and go back to sucking up to Miranda's ass!!!" He barked back at her.

"ENOUGH!!!" Miranda boomed. "Do you forget where you come from, boy? You are not to disrespect my name. Sit down, NOW!" She yelled at Karl.
Karl stopped. Donna was hugging Angie, Moreau's mouth was gaping wide open in fear. Alcina huffed.
"You have lost your mind!" She muttered..
"I heard that. But you know what? That's fine. I don't fucking care, call me crazy all you want, you.. you... you SUPERSIZED BITCH!" He screamed back one final time before sitting down.
"Enough. Both of you." Miranda said with anger.
She glanced at Karl.
"I will deal with you later."

Karl awoke.
He rolled over and felt for Aless on the other side of the bed, which felt cold.
He jolted upwards, his eyes darting around, looking at the empty spot where Aless was supposed to be.

"Missing someone?" A voice giggled.
He turned his head to the door. Aless was leaning on the door frame on her left side.
He exhaled. "There you are."

"Aw, you're such a worry wart. Try to relax a little." She smirked.

"When did you get up?" Heisenberg grumbled
"Oh, I'm not getting up, I just went to go to the bathroom." She said as she tucked herself back into bed. She moved her arm a little, causing pain to shoot up to her shoulder. She winced.
"Hey, are you okay?" He asked, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Mmnh, I'm fine, just hurts a little bit." Aless replied through gritted teeth.
"You should lay back down. I'll get you something, do you want anything?" He said, holding her hand. Aless smiled sweetly.
"It's okay. Thank you."

He ran his fingers through her hair. He felt awful about what happened. That he let her run. That he let her get hurt.

It was almost as if Aless had read his mind, because she looked up at him sadly and put her hand on his face.
"It's not your fault. Don't worry about it."

Heisenberg looked to the side. "It.. It just kind of feels like it was."

Aless sighed. "Lay down with me."
He listened to her request, laying down and wrapping an arm around her.
"It's not your fault. It was never your fault."

Heisenberg sighed.
"Can I kiss you?" Aless looked up at him and asked.
Heisenberg's face contorted to a confused expression.
"Yes, you.. you don't need to ask, sweetheart." He answered.
"I know I just.. I don't want to spook you or something. I know how anxious you are about the whole.... relationship thing."

Heisenberg cringed internally at that word.
Relationship? This is a relationship?

"I just.. want to take it slow. You know, make sure not to do anything that you don't want to."

Heisenberg sighed.
"I care more about you than I care about me."

Aless sat back up. "That's the thing. I don't want you to care about me more than yourself. I love you, I do, but I want you to be comfortable."
Heisenberg rested his hand on Aless's face.
"I want you to love you too." She said sadly.

Heisenberg smiled weakly.
"Oh, buttercup."
He sat up.
"I love you too."
He didn't know what to say after that.
He didn't love himself. He felt like a monster.
The ability to control metal and.... other things caused by his Cadou implantation...
Made him feel like a monster.
He knew she was right.
He pushed the thought away, and chose to think about other things instead.

"Can I get that kiss you asked for now?" He smirked.
Aless grinned, leaned over, and pecked him on the mouth.
"You should probably get up. I assume you have things you need to do." Aless sighed, letting herself fall back into her bed.
Heisenberg stretched. "Mhm, yeah, you're right.
I have business with Alcina today." He growled when he said her name.
"Why do you despise her so much? She seems so nice." Aless said.

Heisenberg closed his eyes and let the anger die down before turning to face the pretty woman gazing at him from the sheets with hazel eyes.
"She's.. stuck up. And she sucks up to Miranda a lot. It's fucking annoying, to say the least." He grumbled.
"Oh."

"They both are." He snarled under his breath as he got out of bed.
Aless buried her face in the blankets.
"Get up, buttercup, you're coming with me." His voice dipped, sweetly persuading Aless to get out of bed.
He put on his shirt from the day before.
"Mmh." Aless moaned softly. She felt conflicted, as to whether she wanted to get out of bed or not.
Heisenberg chuckled. He fixed his belt and looked at her.

"Come on, love."
She could feel his hand gently rubbing her back.
She peeked at him with one eye. He noticed, and it put a warm smile on his face.
"Mmm... okay." She murmured.
She sat back up and stretched her back.
"I'll be downstairs; come down when you're ready." He planted a kiss on her forehead, and left.

Aless felt butterflies in her stomach.
She felt all squealy and warm and happy.

Is this what it feels like to be in love?
