I jolted awake to the sound of Nyen hitting the truck on some cones on the road.
I composed myself groggily, as I wake myself up even if I'm already. "Uhhhh...Damn it..." I sat down, still drowsy from that...that dream I had. I can tell those were one of the weirdest dreams I've ever dreamt of...it even included almost everyone except for Nyen, how unusual.
"So, are we there yet?" I heard Randal's voice as he snuggled up against me, head on my shoulder, not minding the fact that we ran over cones.
"Oh my gosh...It's not really part of 'the experience' until someone says that's 'right.'" Luther says from the front. Randal lifted his head and sat down properly, noticing I was looking down at him with a stupid expression. "Yeah, you're right."
"Hey look, it's the hitchhiker..." I say, noticing we went past them. I don't feel the same feelings I had for that person awhile ago anymore, but I still admired their beauty. "Did you actually miss them again?" Randal with mocking irritation.
Luther just ignores our talking as he urged Nyen to keep driving. He really doesn't believe us huh? What happened to me being the favorite? I thought to myself. "Nice talking to ya Luther, anyways, is Sebastian okay back there? Hey, you want something to chew on? I've got ya buddy..."
He pulls out a questionable item, it almost looked like a toy. "Randal, you can't feed him that. Sebastian's human...he doesn't chew on stuff like you do." I reason softly with him, looks like that talk with Satoru really humbled me. "Yes Randal, don't give him that. It's a toy." Luther backs me up with his usual stern, plastic like face.
"Hey, I just like the texture of it when I chew on it okay?" He says as he turned his head, crossing his arms. That reminds me of that one girl who claimed him to be her husband. I smiled softly at that thought, They really are similar in some ways...I laughed, Randal quickly looked back at me, surprised that I even laughed in front of him at all.
"Don't worry about him, he's got plenty of snacks and fluids there to last him. He'll be just fine~" Luther pets Nana and gave her and Nyen some water to stay hydrated. "You just woke up as well, I know square bottled up water is what's 'hip' and what not at the moment."
"Can I take the water first? I'm feeling quite thirsty from my sleep." I asked politely, "I promise I'll give it to Randal right after I finish." Luther ponders for a moment before answering, "Of course, sweetie." He then gave me the drink, and I basically just scarfed it down, reminding myself to leave some for Randal.
Drinking water felt so good, I felt it run through my body, which gave me relief. "Here you go Randal, I finished." I reached my arm towards him, giving him a turn. Randal quickly took and and drank down, making sure to lick the spots that I touched with my mouth. I just didn't pay attention anymore and just gave him a strained smile, I was clearly uncomfortable.
BANG!
"Don't tell me, it's them again isn't it?" I sighed as I whispered under my breath, that person really wasn't going to give up..."Are you drunk or something? You got me to spill my water out of my mouth and this guy's dying back there." Randal comments, feeling a little bit pissed.
"Stop, stop the vehicle." Luther commands Nyen, and he immediately stopped. "Oh we're making personal stops now, Mr. Ivory?" Randal laid back on his seat, gripping his drink.
Luther goes on about wanting to help a 'human' in need. Meanwhile, I didn't even want to hear it so I quickly interrupted, "Whatever you three are 'bout to do, I'm just staying here in case something happens." I say to the Ivory brothers and Nyen, who were about to go outside to check the problem. "Very well then."
When they left, I immediately focused on Nyon, who was sitting. He looked so unbothered with everything that's going on, I wonder how. "Hey Nyon, you were in the dream right?" I ask him, he just nodded in response. "How was the dream?" I ask him once again, he just shrugged this time.
Nana started slithering towards Nyon and started getting him inside her mouth, it looked so funny, especially Nyon still keeping his expression on. "HAHAAHA...N-Nyon...your face!" I held my stomach, wheezing.
"Hmm...What are you three doing..." Luther asks with malice in his tone. "Mroww..." I just wheezed harder at Nyon's pathetic way for help. Without even helping the poor catman, Luther says, "If you're hungry, you just have to let me know okay?" No one needs to be afraid, not right now." Randal responds, "I'm not afraid, my brother..."
After awhile, we were just bored. I thought Luther said we were almost there...I pondered, thinking if I should sleep again or not. "I'm gonna start biting my tongue..." Randal says. "Disgusting...nobody wants to hear that..." I say tiredly.
"We can play one of those little road-trip games? It's all part of the experience. Like a hundred bottles of beer on the wall." Luther suggests. "But that's a song." Randal interrupts like always. "Let's just play 'I spy', but if none of you know it, then enjoy the rest of the ride."
"I know how to play it! And sure...and did you know some of those who played that game with me, was the last game they ever played?" Randal agrees to play but starts sharing a story. "Nobody asked, but okay. You go first." I dismissed him.
"Hm...I spy with...look there, he's there again yeah...the hitchhiker." Randal mumbles then points outside. I scrambled and leaned over his shoulder, checking if he was right. Yep he was right. "God fucking damnit, he's back again..." Luther still didn't believe us. "You two are just messing with me again." Both of us looked at Luther, I felt Randal lean on my cheek. "Heh, look."
The truck went pass the hitchhiker and it immediately stopped, I knew what was going to happen. "I can't believe this is happening..." Randal says, rubbing his cheek against mine; I just didn't care at this point. "Calm down, I just have a natural instinct to help a human in need." But I ask, "But what if they're not human at all?"
"As long as they're not rude, I'll help them." Luther looks out the window. "Right, and if they're an asshole?" Randal tilts his head, taking mine with him. "Then I'll make sure they're never seen again." Randal wraps his arms around me, giving me a hug(?) "That's the spirit!"
The hitchhiker quickly ran up to Luther's window. "Hey man, thank you so much for stopping!...Is it okay to come in now?" The guy panted out. "Hmmmmmmm......" Luther rolls down his window and hummed like he never hummed before. "Oh Jesus Jerry-Moseph." Randal mumbled beside me. "I think it's pronounced Jesus, Mary, and Joseph...I thought you loved Jesus?" I smugly corrected him. "Oh please! I love Jesus don't assume something so outrageous!"
Then Luther rolled it shut. "Eh? What's happening? What's happening?! What the hell is going on?!! LUTHER!" Luther jumped after hearing Randal yell out his name. He quickly rolled down his window again, talking to the hitchhiker—Randal leaving my side to help him I guess?
"Now because I'm letting someone on, I want everyone to be on their best behavior, too." I can't believe Luther's letting him in...I visibly facepalmed, oh I really hope we don't die, not at all.
"This is a privilege." Luther concludes as Randal starts pushing his eyeball inside his his head through his eye hole. He then started scratching the inner corners of his eye sockets. "Is this really the best time to do that..." I ask him, disappointed.
"Hey! It was itchy okay? Why, you wanna scratch it too?" He defended but quickly went back to his usual behavior. "No."
