After Returning

Happy to have you

"I've never been so relaxed in my life. With you guys, it's.. much better. I feel safe here." Blake said turning to Dawn, who gave him a warm smile and Misty too gave a hug smile,"So you trust us now?! Yay! I promise you're not gonna regret it! Can't wait to get to really know you Blake!"

"Woah, woah. Calm down.. I'm not saying anything about myself to you just yet. I'll need time." Blake stated, Misty got a bit sad but gave him an understanding thumbs up.

"I'm glad that you're finally feeling more relaxed Blake. And living with the Element Protecters, it'll be a blast!" Dawn chimed and Blake nodded in agreement.

"Well uh, There's nothing in the fridge. So what are y'all gonna cook? AiR?" Misty asked, snapping a picture of Brook and Ash. She'd use this to fluster Ash in every given opportunity.

"Ah- I think Robin and Phoenix just went to the grocery store. So we can get cooking when they're back." Dawn replied, "Hey Blake. It's been a while we've had boba together. Wanna go get some boba?"

"Of course. Misty, wanna join?" Blake turned to Misty. "Nah, have fun. I don't want to third wheel, end up atleast kissing guys!" Misty says giving a mocking look to Dawn. Dawn was redder than the colour red. Is that even healthy?

After telling the girls that he feels relaxed and safe, Blake thought that he'd gotten a bit softer than before. And he didn't like it much. And then, the image of Ash, controlled by Carmen, saying "oh.. so you do have a heart after all?" Flashed in his mind. Instantly, Blake says "Yes." He was getting better after all.

Dawn, still blushing a bit, asked,"Huh!? What's the ges about?..." Misty jumped in excitement,"YES! YES YES YES!"

Blake, he was zoned out but zoned in after the yell. He was confused. He didn't even hear what happened after the going out for boba. "Uh? What?" Blake asked.

"You said yes when I told you guys to end up kissing." Misty says to Blake. Her yell definitely woke Brook's paranoid ass up.

Blake got flustered. "Let's get our boba Dawn." He gave a death stare to Misty as he noticed she was going to say something.

Dawn nods and runs out of the dorm. Blake followed after.

At THAT particular bench in the mv

Blake sighed, "Sorry about that. I was actually zoned out when I said yes. I.. didn't exactly know what y'all were talking about." Dawn gave him a "it's okay look".

"Well, what were you thinking about?" Dawn asked, curious. "Just know, I'm happy for once about what I've been asked. It's. The image of Carmen asking me if I had a heart."

"And you said yes!" Dawn exclaimed,"Good job Blake, I'm proud of you!"

I'm proud of you. The words he'd never heard from his parents. And he didn't expect it anytime. They'd still be assholes even if he revealed he was the Element of Darkness.

Blake smiled, "I'm really happy to have you, Dawn. And infact, all of those guys." Dawn wasn't surprised when he smiled. Others would've been. But she's seen him smile alot of times before.

"You should smile more often."

They noticed some of the school bullies coming towards them. Blake instantly hid his face with his hood. No no no no no no no, not them. They'll ruin our mood. He thought.

"Ah, who do we have here?~" One of them mocked. "I  thought you died. Well, would've been such a bad thing?"

"WhO dO wE hAvE hErE? Piss off." Blake and Dawn heard a voice, as they looked up.. They saw Phoenix. "Literally, what are you? A Disney villain? That was really stupid how you said wHo Do wE hAvE hErE."

Robin started giggling, Blake took his hood off and smirked at them. Dawn snickered,"Now leave, before I make you." Phoenix looked up at the bullies with her deathly cold eyes. They ran off of course, scared.

"That was cool." Blake complimented Phoenix. Phoenix nodded, "Of course that was cool. Anyway, we got the groceries, we'll keep em at the kitchen countertop and get some rest. Y'all coming?"

"We'll be there in a while." Dawn said. Robin put her hand on Dawn's shoulder, "Take care." Dawn smiled, not so reassuringly. "I can be dangerous too."

Blake was surprised. But he knew she could be dangerous. The way she beat up those demons back at Samara's castle with bare hands, he knew she could be dangerous if she needs to be.

Robin likes the spirit, so she smirked. "Slay Queen." She said and walked off, dragging Phoenix. "Why do you always drag me around like a ragdoll?!" Dawn giggled at that, and sat back down.

"I got really scared when Ash attacked you.." Dawn said, looking down. "But I'm glad Brook saved you, and most of all both of you guys made it out alive."

Blake held her hand,"No need to worry Dawn. It's over now. We can finally live in peace." He hoped atleast.

"Uh.. Blake?" Dawn said, hesitant. "Yes?" Blake asked.

Dawn took a deep breath,"How about we go visit Samara?" Blake looked away. "It's okay if you don't want to.."

"No, I think you're right. It's about time I and her have a talk." Blake sighed, "We can go to Samara's castle next week."

Dawn smiled, "That's great. Let's bring the others with us the next time we visit her after the next week!" Blake nodded, "Sure."

Blake looked away for a while. And Dawn hugged him, tight. Blake hugged back.

"Alrighty, let's get back to the dorm. The others are probably really hungry." Dawn giggled. "Yeah, let's go." With that, Blake followed Dawn back to the dorm, after getting some drinks for their friends too.

They got back to the dorm to Ash running after Misty, flustered as hell. Brook on top of the couch, backed up to the wall, just staring at them with a look that says, "this is fine."(The this is fine king)

Robin and Phoenix arguing like they've been married for 7 years. "Hey guys! I got you drinks.. Uh? What's happening?" Dawn giggled a bit.

Blake facepalmed, "You guys are chaotic as fuck." Phoenix turned to him,"She's arguing with me because I threw away the ice in the fridge and replaced it with clean water."

Blake sighed, "Okay you two, stop arguing. Brook, what happened here?" Brook jumped onto the couch, "I woke up when Misty yelled. So did Ash, after you guys left, Misty showed something to Ash. And right from that very moment. Misty id laughing and running from Ash. Wonder what happened. And you heard Phoenix and Robin's part of the story from Phoenix."

Blake and Dawn looked at eachother and chuckled, knowing exactly what's happening between Misty and Ash. "Alright, enough Misty." Blake demanded.

Misty put her phone in the pocket,"fiiiiine." Blake and Dawn went to the kitchen and began the cooking, as the others had their drinks. They were quite surprised that Dawn knew exactly what kind of drinks they'd like. That's real friendship right there. Robin thought and smiled to herself.
