Gorillaz and me (PT 4)

Chapter 21

It didn't take long before everybody else found out too. And sure enough they were all over me.

It was supposed to be an average day. Me, as usual sitting in the living room eating a bowl of cereal watching cartoons.
Like I did Every Saturday. Cy was sitting beside me, clinging to my arm. Which wouldn't of bothered me as much if I wasn't eating.

"Cy, Can you let go for a sec? I'm...trying to eat."
Feeling her relicensing my arm I took another bite as I watched the TV. But something else felt off.
"I can feel you staring at me. Can you not?"

"I apologize. I am just-"

"It's fine Babes. I know the other day was a bit scary but I'm fine now, I swear. Besides I'm home, so I'm more safe than anything."
I turned towards her. Seeing her cry was awful. Not that she was an ugly crier and trust me. I know ugly crying when I see it. I live with a few of them.
"I promise nothing's gonna get me here."

She didn't respond, she leaned on me though. Cy was the kind of girl where she didn't have to say anything to get her point across. Over the few months dating her I really came to understand her. Placing her hand on my leg she began tapping her finger on my leg

Tap, tap.
Tap, hold, tap, tap
Hold, tap and hold for another two times.

What was she doing?
She looked up at me, letting her body warm up. I haven't even finished my cereal yet. It was sweet how close she wanted to be but not so much when I was trying to eat and watch TV.
Letting out a long sigh I set my bowl on the side table.
"Alright babe. Alright."

I wrapped my arms around her, sitting my legs up and putting them underneath her to where she was laying on me. Once again she began tapping again. The same pattern on my arm this time.

Tap, tap
Tap, hold, tap, tap
Hold, tap, hold for another two times.

"Sia-Chan~"
Noodle comes in holding a box
"Want to do a puzzle with me?"

"She's occupied Miss. Perhaps another time."
Cy managed to finally say as she clinged to me more. I never really liked...clingy.
Noodle held her smile yet clutched the box she was holding.

"私もあなたが知っている彼女が好きです."
She spoke to Cyborg. Something about her liking something.
"利己的にならないでください. Eheh."

She sounded cheerful but what she said was out of anger. Not just because I was almost fluent in Japanese and could pick up almost word for word she was saying, but because her crushing the box tight enough puzzle pieces began falling out.

"Cynoo. Why don't you charge up a bit. You've been working so hard these past weeks keeping me safe. You deserve a good rest."
I sat up with her in my arms.
"I'll be alright with Noodle."

I felt Cy cling to me more. She was acting like a child. What was with her?
I know she was only trying to keep me safe but this? This was going a little far...at least that's what it felt like for me.

"I made a promise."

"Cy. I'm fine. I promise. I-"

"elle ne t'aimera pas si tu es collant."
Noodle states, still with a smile on her face. French? Was she speaking French again?
"vous ne ferez que la rendre malheureuse."

Cy sat up. Letting me go. She clinched her fists and walked off downstairs to the basement. Did Noodle say something to make her angry?

"What did you say to her?"

Noodle smiled and giggled a bit.

"I told her not to annoy you. You've been through a lot."
Noodle spoke softly as she picked up some of the pieces she dropped. Noodle then Smiles.
"So. Want to do a puzzle with me?"
