⚡️Vecna's curse⚡️ Part 4

"What the hell happened?!" Dustin ran through the forest, radio in hand, and Max and Lucas with him. To where i lay on Gareth's lap, resting my head on his stomach while he stroked my head.
"It's okay, she's okay." Robin said. She had just been watching, standing behind us awkwardly.

"Did Vecna get her??" Lucas asked
"Well obviously not, she's literally here." Gareth said with with kind of an irritated tone, i think this whole thing stressed him out a bit, so I wrapped my arms around his waist, making his heart beat a little faster, he stopped stroking my hair and stuttered a bit.

"Aw look at that." Max said sarcastically, Gareth responded by making a face at her.
"Ooookay then.. so what the hell happened?" Dustin repeated.
"Well she tried to float into the air, Gareth here tried to stop her, i mean, it worked." Robin said
"Wait- what do you mean it worked." Dustin asked, puzzled.
"when i held her down, her eyes flickered. You'd have to ask her what happened though."
Gareth said, looking down at me. I sighed and sat up.
Everyone looked at me expectantly. I guess i had to tell them eventually.

"When Vecna came to me, it felt like he was targeting me because i was in a vulnerable situation.. i guess my vision left me a bit shaken." I sighed, trying my best not to recall what i saw.
"I think he tried to grab my face.. but thats when he stopped. It was like i was untouchable.. then i saw some sort of portal thing when i heard the music, i saw Gareth holding me down, stopping me from floating up.. and i ran."
They all sat in silence, thinking about it.

"So.. by holding her down and stopping her from floating upwards, Vecna couldn't get her?" Lucas asked.
"I- i guess so.." Gareth said, thinking for a moment while looking down. "Yeah."
"Hah. Wish we knew that when it was my turn." Max said crossing her arms.

"This is new.." Dustin said.
"Now it will be so much easier to stop future deaths!" He said, energy increasing as he got more excited.

I just nodded.
"Glad to be the test subject." I said sarcastically, going to hug Gareth again, and earning a glare from Dustin.
"Soooo.. now what?" Robin asked, shrugging her shoulders.
"We go home?" Dustin said.
"We seriously walked all the way out here to go back home 5 minutes later." Lucas said, irritated.
"Gimme a break Lucas- she nearly died!" Gareth angrily whispered.
"Okay.. sorry." He quietly responded, lifting his hands up defensively.

Gareth helped me stand up, and held my hand tightly as we walked back through the forest back to our homes.
Gareth was about to take the turn back to my aunts house, when I stopped him.
Giving him a look and squeezing his hand tighter, he understood.
"You wanna come to my house..? Are you not bored of my company yet?" He asked laughing.
But stopped when he looked at my serious gaze.
"Never." I said.
"Okay then." He said, smiling to himself a little and walking now to his house.

"Shit- my moms home." He said, looking nervously at her car.
"We can't go in the front door.. ugh she would be so angry.." he said.
"Look, her bedroom light just went out. Maybe she went to bed?" I said.
All the houses lights were off now, she must be in bed.
"Okay, lets go round the back of the house through that door." He said.
"Okay."

We snuck around the back of the house, and he carefully used his key to unlock the door, sneaking in and quietly closing it behind him.
We snuck upstairs, trying to be quiet, but...
"Gareth? Is that you sweetie?" We froze, halfway up the stairs.
"Uh- yeah mom just getting some water." He responded.
"Okay. Go to bed now though." She said back.

We walked quietly upstairs to his room, closing the door while laughing.
"That was close.." i whispered, leaning with my back on the door, looking at him while laughing.
"Yeah." He said, out of breath a little.
I glanced down at his hand which was pressed on the door. And I touched it with my fingers.

He looked at his hand, then back up at me.
He stared for a second, before moving over to stand in front of me.
I look forward, breathing lightly, the room was dark, with only the light of the moon peaking through the open window.
He glanced at my lips, leaning forward slightly.

Just breathing onto my lips, before gently pressing his onto mine.
We kissed for a moment, then he held his hand on my face, and his other hand was resting on the door next to my head.
I grabbed the back of his shirt, scrunching it as he kissed me . And i used my other hand to hold the back of his head.
Usually he stopped and said something when I went to play with his hair, but this time he didn't. Like he didn't even care this time.

Instead, we just kissed in the dark of the room. Properly feeling like immature teenagers.
