Sugar & Spice

Part two: Let it all out and have a cinnamon roll with us

Always getting caught up in repercussions just because of her so-called family, but I think the only difference is that Robin knew that after we met, she had taken some steps back and just allow that hate to pass through. Showing everyone the side of her that wanted to be shown; the said that never got the chance to show, the real side of her and because of that she did very well with herself. She knows who she is, and even if everyone else still says things about her, it would never define her as a person. And if she can do it then so can Seth.

"I won't deny that I could never relate to what you said, but I do want to understand you better. I want to know your story," I said to him with honesty.

"Why do you want to hear my story so bad? Didn’t he tell you everything? I bet he spilled his guts the moment I left! If he’s actually found some peace, I bet he was real scared at the thought of losing you."

"What do you mean?"

"You know you cute honestly I get it, but you're a little dumb; you walked right into the lion's den. If I wanted to hurt al, if I wanted him to feel how I feel right now, I could, but no, no," Seth said with his tone of voice changing at the end while looking up at the night sky. And he was right; if he want to hurt Al then he would have done it sooner.

"Tell me something, do you believe in magic?" He asked me out of nowhere.

"Yeah, sometimes. Why do you ask?"

"Somebody told me, on nights like this, out here with the moon shining down on us, that I could cast a spell; but I ain’t no damn wizard, so maybe it was a curse."

"Why do you think that?"

"This little spot right here, right about right there; whatever I did it made Alphonse abandon any god damn sense that he had. He was the clever one but he also had morals and shit. I did too when I was younger, I was shy, quiet. Alphonse was so loud and stupid, so fucking cute. I’d watch him in awe as he just existed, how could he be so bold? How did he know how to disarm people with that shit-eating grin of his? He could just make everyone in the room laugh without even trying."

There were a lot of things that I wasn't expecting to be said in that sentence; Seth used to be a shy child back then? I would have loved to see that. And he's not wrong about Al, he does have a talent of making people laugh; I know that too well. But aside from all that, I'm not dead yet and surprisingly and Seth is starting to open up without me doing or even saying anything, so much more than what I had to do with Al. Something is telling me that I'm going to be in for a rollercoaster of emotions with this guy.

"I think he reminded me of my mom; she's loud, she's fun and when she finally got away from pops, she ran off to live her damn life and I don’t blame her, but I do wish she’d taken me into account. My pops wasn't really built for raising a kid, definitely not built for raising her kid, it was tough. It’s not like there’s a shit load of distractions around here so I had to escape however I could. I took an interest in camping, hiking, doing whatever I could just to get away from home."

"I see." I quietly said as I tried not to ruin the moment he was having. This is the second time that his ma has been mentioned and so far I'm struggling to picture her as a person; I mean I get that some people can't stay put in one place but to just suddenly leave behind your family and act as if nothing has happened, that nothing has changed in life? I don't think I could live with myself if I did that, but at least Seth kept himself busy when that was going on so that's a plus.

"Al would come up here with me, we'd look out over the town together and on clear nights you could see the glow of the city on the horizon. Over there, that's our tree; we watched it grow, carved our names in it, all that mushy shit. This place, this place is special," Seth said as looks at the very tree he mentioned. I always wondered on whose names they were when I first saw it but now that thought has been answered. Then a wave of emotions suddenly ran through my head, realizing that I have been stepping into a place where a couple has claimed as their own love spot. And not just me but Robin as well.

"I have to be honest with you Seth, I've been here."

"You've been here?" He asked me with a surprised tone.

"Yeah. When I first moved in, I meet Al here."

"You met him here..."

"I'm so sorry about that, I had no idea."

"No no don't apologise, it's not your fault. I put a spell on him you see. I know why he came here, why he'd come back, why he’d linger and after tonight you know too, don't you?" I couldn't explain why but there was something about his words, about what he said just stabbed me in the heart slightly. I couldn't bring myself to say anything to that, while Seth took the silence as an answer and continues.
