UNMASKED IDENTITIES

FEARLESS PROTECTOR.

As I was enjoying the very nice morning breeze, I was woken up by the bright light coming from the window, dashing right to my face.

" Ugh!" I fell off my bed as I tried to move away from the ray of morning sun.

" Aaah!" I yelled in pain after hitting my injured leg on a wooden stool.
I finally made my way to the door, leaping.
" Nice way to wake someone up." I said sarcastically to the damn morning sun trying to ruin my life.
I opened the door and carefully leaped down the stairs.
" Wow!" How did Verso, I mean V, get this place. It was so big and beautiful.
I thought he said he was lost 🏃🏃🏃.
I admired the building, pacing from one side to the other. The huge sitting room was decorated with flowers and a huge LED TV. It was so nice. I couldn't remember the last time I watched TV. I completely forgot my pain and kept leaping happily.

" Oh my God" I gasped as I saw the glorious contents of the fridge.
" Shit." I said grabbing a plate of strawberries. It was so beautiful. I took the plate and slammed the fridge close in excitement. I walked quickly, more like I leaped quickly to the sitting room, pouncing on the so comfortable couch.
" Uuh. So soft." I said softly as I let the softness get to me. I picked up the remote and controlled the TV.
" Darn. Why won't it turn on." When I was just about to have fun. The darn TV refused to work.
" Come on. What now?!" I didn't realize I was being too loud. Still fighting with the darn remote, Verso staggered out of a room with his hair all ruffled and his face pale. He looked so tired and worn out.I use my hand to cover my mouth after realizing that I disturbed him.
" Im. I'm so sorry." I said in a tiny tone. He wasn't even looking at me . His scratched his hair, ruffled it the more and his hand in his pocket. He staggered up to me and snatched the remote from me.
" Hey. No fair." I made more noise earning an interrogating look from him.
" You can't...." He stopped, then clear his throat. He sounded like he has been talking too loud since the past few days.
" You can't wake up and first thing in the morning is to watch TV. You're being so sass." He lectured me like I was his " sister".
" Hey "dad." I didn't forget to do an air quote with my fingers. I never really thought what I did would upset him but guess what, it truly did.

" Eleazar, you're insane. Are you trying to say I'm crazy. Infact, you're nuts. No TV for you." He'scolded me angry and this time he really sounded like a dad. He left me alone at the sitting room and left for the kitchen angrily. My eyes travelled to the kitchen only to be caught to his death stare.
" I'm.. so.. sorry. I'm sorry." I cursed myself for stuttering such simple words. I felt like if I didn't apologize,my head will fall off at any minute by his stares. My greatest surprise was the way he switched moods . Like he changed from the angry respect seeking goblin, no offense, to the nice smiling V.
" It's okay. I wasn't mad at you I was just stressed." He said softly as he applied butter on bread. Stressed?! And he wanted to kill me with his sharp pointy stares.

" Yeah, yeah. Sure." I quickly replied smiling after recovering from the series of thoughts.

" How was your night?" He started by being nice. Well, I decided to tag along.
" Night, good enough. Sleep, painfully interrupted. Fun, completely ruined." I scratched my head so that he could understand my point.

"Wait, what did you mean sleep painfully ruined?" Out of the parts to ask, he chose that one.
I sighed scratching my nape.

"The sun rays were shooting through the window into my eyes and I fell off the bed as I try to avoid it . But, it's cool." I answered softly in a less stressed tone. I watched as he tilted his head from one position to the other like he was trying to recover from a headache.

" Are you... alright?" Why the hell did I have to be nice I loved a mean, bad girl but I wasn't pleasing myself . It seem to get worst. He stopped tilting his head and leaned on the kitchen counter for support while gritting his teeth.
" V!" I wailed running , no, speed walking up to him. Why the hell was this the right time for him to be smiling. My hand was weighing him from falling and the other on his warm chest with smooth
heartbeat. For a moment, I was lost.
" V." I called softly this time as I watched him lean his head on my shoulder. I rubbed his back gently and gave him the smile he always gave me. "everything will be okay."
