"Just close your eyes, the sun is going down. You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now. Come morning light, you and I'll be--" My hand sat forcefully on the guitar strings.
"Safe and Sound..."
I heard someone finish the lyrics. "Ah! Riki! What are you doing in my house?! How'd you even get in?!" He made a 'duh' face. "I'm a professional thief. How do you think?" I narrow my eyes. "Shut up. Why are you even here... And how do you know where I live?" He shrugs. "I have my sources. " I raise an eyebrow. "Okay! Seiko talks a lot." I roll my eyes, standing up, about to put away my guitar. "Hey."
I look up to see Riki's hand on top of mine. "Uh--uh! Why are you so close?!" My eyes turn purple. He laughs and purposely leans forward, getting so close I can feel his breath on my skin. "You know, your voice is beautiful..."
I jump up and move away. I accidentally drop my guitar. "Um...well, thanks a lot, you idiot! I dropped it!" He chuckles and picks up my guitar, examining it. " You're a real prune for a thief. And where'd you learn to play guitar?" I shrug and run my fingers. along the strings, playing a chord. "I taught myself. And I am not a prune, stupid!" He tried to play. Of course, he sounded horrible. But it looked like he was trying hard so l looked away, covering my mouth.
"What?" He was beet-red but I doubt he noticed. "Nothing. I think I found something you can't do...." I snorted. My eyes turn blue. "Hey! I never got lessons!" Standing in defense, he turns away and crosses his arms like a little kid. That's when I broke.
"Ahahaha!!" I fall on the floor in laughter. "..." He stares at me, wiping a tear from my eye. "You should laugh more." I quickly regain my composure. "Quirk it, idiot."
"Seriously. You...have a nice smile." I look away my eyes turning purple again. "No way, hotshot. "
I really hope Seiko or Maria didn't tell anyone what the colors mean...
"Then, I'll help you."
"Huh?" I'm suddenly tackled to the ground. Riki sat on my waist to keep me from moving. "What are you doing?!" He sighed. "You ask to many questions." Then I died.
"AHAHAHA!!!!!! PLEASE STOP!" I squirm and tried to get away but he pinned down my arms. "What have-- Hahaha!! I ever done to you?!?!" He grins down at me. I pant, finally being able to breath.
*Slam*
We look up. "What...was that?" I hear him swear and laugh. "I forgot the others were outside. " My eyes turn pink. "What!" Since I, now, have enough strength, I push him off of me and run to the door. I yank it open.
"Hey~" Seiko waves, smiling really hard. Hiro and Maria had a smirk on their faces. Kenshi was looking left away from me with a tomato face. Rose was looking down, twiddling her thumbs. Takuto looked somewhat upset yet ashamed at the same time.
"Oh, hi. Sorry I forgot about you guys!" Riki came to the door. I punched him in the chest. "Ah!! What the heck?!" I felt my eyes change color but I couldn't tell which color because all I saw was red.
"Whoa, that's...rare." Seiko states. I don't respond, I just stare Riki down. "Hmm...you must stir some emotions inside of her, Leader. Even her eyes can't tell her how she feels." Hiro adds. Still don't respond. But I walk away. "I'm going to get dressed."
After I get dressed, I looked in the mirror and noticed my eyes. "Their two different colors...?" One was purple and the other was orange. I growl and put on shades. "I can't wait to hear what they'll say about what they just saw." I announce, sarcastically.
*Time skip*
Apparently, the reason they were there is so we could have a bonding day. Whatever the heck that is. Now we were shopping. You'd expect the guys to sit this one out but noooo...
"Aww! Hunter! Wouldn't this dress look cute on you??" Hiro held up a red shirt, because that thing was way too short. I look up at him. "....You know, you make it really hard to determine whether you're gay or not." He made a very fake sad face and I heard Takuto snort next to me. "Okay. Even I have to admit that was pretty good, Faker." Hiro whined to Maria who was staring at the prices. Gosh, does that girl love to save. "Maria! Hunters being mean! Comfort me!" He latches on to her and she just rolls her eyes, continuing to shop.
"Since when did they get so close?" I ask to no one in particular. Takuto gags. "Ack. Nasty." And he goes back to his phone. "As much as I hate to say this, Idiot, agreed."
I look at everyone shopping and noticed Riki browsing through the men's rack. I walk up to him. "What's up, mate?" He stands up straight at the sound of my accent. "You did that on purpose, didn't you?" I shrug and sat on a nearby seat , crossing my legs. "What, ol' chap?" He narrows his eyes. "Stop that."
"Oh, for the love of the Queen! Would you please tell what I'm doing wrong, love?"I exaggerate, changing my accent to English. "Good Lord...." He sighs and walks off but I follow him. I was getting my revenge no matter what!
"Yo, dude! Are you trying to leave me?! Totally not cool, bruh!" People were staring but I could care less. "Speak normal, please. People are staring."
"Oh-a, you-a mean like this? Oh-a, bambino, this is-a the way I talk! By-a the way are we eating pasta later~?" He smirks but it didn't reach his eyes. He was getting upset. Perfect. "Oh, really, frau? You vant to go zhere? Vell, I can go zhere, too!" He shouted in a terrible German accent.
(This next one is Swedish and good luck on reading it.)
"'h, 'f c'rse, 'm g'ng th'r' ! 't's y'r 'f'lt 'm 'v'n y'll'ng 'n th' f'rst pl'c'![1]" I cross my arms, feeling victorious since he looked dumbfounded. So he decided to change languages.
"En ymmärrä, miksi olet järkyttynyt! Halusin vain nähdä sinut hymyilemään!" Finnish. But I only understood half of it. 'Wanted you to smile.' Now I was getting upset. I feel my eyes turn orange, but he didn't take that as a warning. He kept going. "You never smile and you've been tense ever since I've met you, its like you're not telling me something!" I'd reached my limit.
I slapped him so hard, it echoed throughout the store. "I'm already telling you more than you need to know! You should be happy, I even tolarate you!" He wiped blood from his mouth then I realized what I just did. "I'm...I didn't know..." I bit my lip and out of the corner my eye, I see Takuto standing with the bag he had in his and on the floor.
I felt like I was dying. I was ready to hyperventilate and I saw red. Everywhere. I ran. As far as my feet would take me.
I'll never be accepted..
1- Oh, of course, I'm going there! Its your fault I'm yelling in the first place!
2- I don't understand why you're upset! I just wanted you to smile!
~~~~~~~~Erggg!!!! My first update in ages! Hello! I'm off hiatus! And I did this on my own so I'm not dying! XD
Anyway! I hoped you enjoyed and I'm so sorry for the late update. And I used Bing Translater because I cannot speak Finnish! And no offense about the accents! I happen to watch a show called Hetalia that helped with that. Sorry, if you were offended. Especially, Swedans. But just know I love all cultures!
But anyway, see you next chapter (which will come soon hopefully).
