Any other world

Chapter 6

I ran over to the lab looking for him, after a few wrong turns I found his cell.

"Hey!", I knocked on the glass.

"Mix?", he opened his eyes.

"Please tell me it's not too late."

"Not sure, they only gave me one liquid. The rest will follow soon I guess.", he sadly smiled.

"No.", I smiled.

"Hey! You! What are you doing here?!"

"Stop you from murdering my best friend."

"It's just for our safety!"

"Can you prove it will go wrong?"

"Of course not!"

"Then I see no point in dissolving him.", I spread my arms to cover him.

"Bring him out."

"No!", I jumped on the table.

"Can't you get him something to heal him?"

"No, he's not build for that."

"And you call yourselves scientists."

As they were trying to attack me, I started fighting for my life, for his life, I punched them and knocked them out at the same time.

I didn't know where this strength came from, but I liked it.

But one of them tried to inject something in the cell, I felt the rage filling my body, I saw my reflection in the glass my eyes and antennae glowing red, my breathing fast and my heart pumping faster than ever.

"Mix! Help me!", he knocked on the glass as this guy injected some green gas.

Now it was enough, I jumped down and pushed this guy away, knocking him out at the same time.

Amoux looked at me with teary eyes, as I didn't know how to open the cell.

I closed my eyes and took all my anger and love to put it in my fist before I punched the glass with a loud scream, letting everything out, it shattered into a thousand pieces, I opened my eyes again, looking at my robotic arm covered in black fog and glass fractures.

One second later I felt arms around my neck, holding me tight, I hugged him back. I buried my head in his neck, crying.

"Thank you.", he mumbled.

"I'm sorry, for everything.", I whispered back.

"I didn't know you had powers."

"Me neither.", I smiled.

I gently pushed his chin up, trying not to break him with my arm, I looked into his eyes, moving closer to him, I slowly pressed my lips on his, this time more loving and passionate than we usually did, I pulled him closer, hugging him tighter than ever.

"I always loved you more than this.", I admitted.

"Me too.", he smiled.

"Let me try something.", I put my antennae on his head and looked into his eyes.

I felt a short pain in my body and a little bit dizzy. I created a black ball of fog and gently pushed it into his chest, detoxing him again with a kiss.

"What was that?", he looked at me.

"A method my great grandpa used on his husband to save him and a little bit of demon magic from my grandpa.", I smiled.

"What does that mean?"

"You don't have to worry about your genes or expiration date."

"Thank you.", he sobbed with a smile.

"Let's get out of here before they wake up again."

"Sure."

I made a little miracle to heal his body from any mutations and removed the chemicals they gave him, if I was correct, which I usually am, he can live a normal life now. Yes, I had a crush on him, and don't say you knew, it wasn't that obvious.

We walked out and headed to my lake, I told him on the way what I did to him, he just smiled and held my hand.

"Come on.", I undressed to my boxers.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, come on."

"But you know I can't breathe underwater right?"

"Just take my hand.", I pulled him in.

I dived down pulling him after me, he was still holding his breath.

"Breathe, if it doesn't work I bring you back up, we're only a meter under the surface.", I smiled and looked into his scared eyes.

Hesitantly he started breathing out and in, his shocked eyes looked at me in disbelieve.

"I can breathe!"

"Yeah."

"How?!"

"Water tribe secret. But you have to touch me."

"Don't say it as it would be something bad.", he smiled.

We laid down on the riff, enjoying the view, the fish and the sun above us, holding hands and cuddling, it was amazing to have him back, not having a fight and being best friends again.

I know what you think, but no, we didn't get any closer or even married, we're still best friends, close best friends, who kiss and cuddle, we don't have a real relationship, we just have us and our friendship, with benefits, but you wouldn't understand what we have even if I would try, maybe in a few months or years, but for now we're happy with what it is.

Thanks for listening to my weird life story, maybe I tell you one day what happened later...anyway goodbye for now. But as you know you always meet twice in life.

The end.
