VIBgYOR Part 1: Catching Pace

Chapter 7 :~: How is it Meeting a Friend(sort of)

Steven's Perspective:-

Even though I didn't say so, I was damn tired and I wanted to sleep at once, it's tiring when you travel from one universe to the other and be awake for almost 3 days. But Sheeran looked far from tired as he had taken his short nap when he was sort of kidnapped. That boy was abducted from his planet, brought to a new Universe, and kidnapped once again on the way, yet he was so fresh, I might have fainted out if I was in his shoes. Anyways it is rightly said, Earthians even though they don't have any kind of energy or stuff, will surprise you every time with their actions that are their superpower.

We reached home, "Noel I am home!" I said, she peeped from the kitchen rubbing her hands against her apron, and said, "Good timing Steven!! The dinner is ready, you can have some along with it us." "Alright, bring it on," I said and we went to the table after freshening up. The five of us had dinner, and this was the first time my family got to know about Sheeran. Especially my little daughters.

They used to ask me about all sorts of my travel, what I saw, whom did I defeat, etc. I guess this time I had lost my place to Sheeran. He told them several stories all about Earth, their thoughts about God, and stuff. I have to say that boy is a pure storyteller. He knows very well how to change the tone while telling a story, when to make it darker and how to end it in a PG-13 way! We had some custard, made by Noel as dessert and after the dinner show, I took Sheeran with me to show him his room.

"We will leave early tomorrow, as the person, we want to see, well he is kind of available only in the morning," I said as I opened the door to the guest room. "Yeah sure, just a final question. How can you say that it is early or late, or even if it day or night even without the presence of sun here, and also sun provides us with the energy we require to live so how are the people living here, and btw can you tell me more about the person, and also-" I stopped him by putting one of my hand on his mouth and the other one on my forehead, cursing myself.

"It's not the time for all this Sheeran, tomorrow fine?" I said, "Yeah ok, btw thanks Steven for everything you are doing for me." he said "It's my honor, Gute Nacht! habe süsse Träume!!" I said and vanished to the Arbeitzimmer [Work room] before he asked any questions. I reached the Arbeitzimmer, went to my table, and switched on the table lamp. I sat down on one of the chairs, took a paper and pen, and started writing the synopsis cum adventure story cum report of the mission, as I had to submit it in the Alpha Yuri office tomorrow itself. I wrote every ounce of it but did not mention Sheeran's weird dreams as they seemed too erratic to me.

I completed the report in about a half-hour, yawned a bit, got up, stretched my body, and went to my bedroom, to do the needful. When I reached the bedroom, I saw Noel wasn't asleep and was reading a book, while sitting on the bed. "Tired, aren't you?" she asked, "Yeah, it's been a long day you know, also I got a chance of returning to my old home after quite a lot of time," I said and laid on the bed keeping my head on her lap while she was reading, and I fell asleep.

I woke up at around 6 in the morning I guess-, and went to the bathroom to do the needful stuff[ Bathing and the other stuff which you thought of] -. After it was done, I went to the sink, took my brush, and brushed my teeth. I went to the guest room after getting ready, to wake up Sheeran. I opened the door and to my surprise, He wasn't there, who was still partially asleep, got a shock and I woke up completely, "Not again!" I said to myself and raced to the Kuche [Kitchen].

"Noel, did you see Sheeran, as he isn't there in his room." I asked panicking, "Relax honey, he is playing with Alina and Amelia on the Lawn, and they already had their breakfast." I sighed and sat down on the sofa, in the hall. Noel came from the kitchen with 2 cups of coffee and sat beside me. "Don't you think you are thinking too much Steven?" she said while handing me one of the cups. "Yeah I think so, and you know why I am doing so, he is the key, Noel, if something happens to him, neither the superior council nor me, myself would be able to forgive me," I said, taking a sip from my share. "Everything will be fine Steven." She said, kissing me on the forehead. "Yeah, I would like to believe so," I said. I finished the cup of Coffee and kissed Noel on the cheeks before leaving.
