"RRROOOAAAARRRR"
Darting towards Nero's face was a giant slimy monster. Its face resembled a jack-o-lanterns with its devilish grin and sharp jagged teeth. The face sat upon a gooey forest green body that looked as if it was constantly melting even as it flew. It was like an angry toddler decided to fling his booger at him except the booger was the size of a car and also extremely evil.
Nero, a lengthy pale lad with shaggy jet-black hair, made like a Mormon during sex and did not move an inch. He is going to die.
"I am going to die." Nero thought to himself. "Even if I could move, bros trucking about 40mph. I just wish I could have seen her, at leastttttt...one more-"
Nero's thoughts quickly got replaced by his growing heartbeat as she walked past him. Her long beautifully kept snow-white hair glistened in perfection as it blew past his face. Even if it was only a few strands they still felt as soft as silk as they gently made their way past the skin of his check. Her scent, Nero had never smelt that type of fragrance before, but she smelt like...probably what Twilight Sparkle's smells like but time's one hundred Nero thought. No, a mill- God I have never talked to a real woman and it shows.
She put up her hand and made an air shield with it, which seemed to also make the monster move a ton slower. She then began to gradually turn her face towards Nero's. His heart beat faster and faster as his eyes unlocked her delicate facial features bit by bit. He imagined each heartbeat as his body taking a screenshot. It had been nine months since Nero last saw her and he didn't know how long it would be till she appeared to him again. Seeing her also confirmed his growing suspicion that he was in a dream. His dream's always felt a ton more realistic when she appeared.
"Nero Newman" the girl's lips softly muttered.
Nero felt all the hairs of his body stand up as soon as he heard her gentle angelic voice. She was now fully facing him. Everything about her was perfect; her piecing ocean eyes that seemed to yank on his soul at every glance, her cute button nose, her soft welcoming smile. Every feature on her face was so precious he was afraid of even the wind touching it, that it would mess up a single thing. The hair on her head was nicely braided and fell well past either side of her shoulders. She stood at about five feet which made her tiny compared to him. Her fit was comprised of an oversized black hoodie, a white mini skirt and knee-high socks. She wasn't wearing any shoes which added to the feeling that she belonged to this world. She seemed so comfy in it. Everything about her felt like it was pulled straight from Nero's subconscious to make his dream girl. Nero thought this but then realized they were literally in his dream; this is the only time he got to see her. She was a dream girl.
"I'm sorry I-" the girl started before Nero cut her off.
"I did everything you told me to last time. I swear. I dropped out of college, and I have been working at the job you told me about. My family thinks I have gone completely crazy, and you know I admit I was losing faith when you didn't show up for so long... but-"
Smooch
Pure bliss. For a moment all of Nero's worries and anxieties from the past nine months all vanished. Him dropping out of college. Him joining up with a group of scary mercenaries who travel around the globe and hunt animal poachers. Him scaring and worrying his family. Not to mention the two people he murdered as a part of the job. Only killing two people in nine months was nothing to the mercenaries but they were also the type of people to eat a bowl of nails for breakfast without any milk, he wasn't one of them. All of it was forgotten as the girl's warm lips touched his. Then she let go.
"Am I forgiven?" She asked sweetly, looking up at him with her innocent eyes.
"Girl, I killed two people and got shot seven different times." Nero looked away from her for the first time. "I did a lot of stuff all because you told me to take this job...But it means I can finally see you in real life, right?"
