Aithnayn x Rakel Mira: A Glitch/Dark Xavier Fanfiction

Chapter 6: Aith

"Aithnayn." She held my arm and pulled me towards my bike. "I'm fine." Her voice is so sweet I can't really stay mad. "I'll give you my number, gimme yours, okay?"

"Okay." I tried calming down.

"Oh right," she held my hand as she sat on her side at my bike. I made sure she's seated securely so that she won't fall. "We have a company outing tomorrow."

I gripped the handle bars of my bike tight.

"Who.. will those guys be coming too?"

"Of course they will." Her cute voice answered. She hugged my waist and i felt her inhaled.

Now I'm thinking if she likes my scent.. or not? Does she?

"Will you be fine?" I asked.

"I will." She giggled.

"What time are you leaving? And from where? At your company?"

"Yes. We'll be renting a bus." She grumbled as she hugged me tightly.

I started my bike and sped out to the main road. While we were running at normal speed,I held her hand on my stomach. One hand on the handle. Her hand feels warm inside my jacket and I like it. Very much so..

"W-Well.. okay. Where--"

"I'll send you the place later at home." She spoke as her arms felt tighter around my waist.

"Mm.." i smiled inside my helmet. I'm whipped. Right?

"Take me home, Aithnayn." I heard her say then she rested her cheek on my back.

I feel different. Is this what people call happiness? Because i could murder an entire group of Tenebraes easily without remorse or thinking twice. It's this thrill that made me Xavier's equal in the force. The darkness that reciprocates his light.

"Okay, Rakel Mira."

She's telling me the way to her house and it feels so surreal that someone trusts me this much.

"There, green gate." She happily pointed at a decent sized gate.

"Okay." I parked in front of the gate and she jumped off my bike. I kept the engine on.

"Why aren't you getting off your bike?" She asked me while smiling.

I got off the bike and switched off the engine. "Come inside our house." She pulled the sleeve of my jacket gently.

"Is it okay?"

"Of course. I wanna introduce you to my family."

"B-But we just met today.. they don't know me." I stop myself from fidgeting. It's not like me.

"Oh I tell them about you. Al-- Sometimes." She pulled me inside and we were welcomed with a woman.

"Mum, i brought someone!"

"Sweetie." A middle aged woman hugged Mira. She's holding a bowl of rice. Then her eyes focused on me. "Who is this stran-- oh. You are handsome."

"Huh? I'm Aithnayn, Ma'am. Mira's fri--" i held her mother's hand and kissed the top of it.

"Boyfriend, mama."

"He's the guy you like? And boyfriend?" Her mom's eyes widened. "Come in! Come in!" She pulled me away from Mira and we went to their garden. A middle aged man is busy reading the paper. "Honey!!" She pulled me now, i can feel the urgency as her mother pulls me.

"Yes my lo--" he stood up and looked at me, clearly mad at me. "Who is he?! You don't want me anymore?!"

I almost jumped back when her mother punched her father on his shoulder.

"What?! He's our Mira's boyfriend!"

Realization must have hit him and he gave me a smile. "Son in law?" He offered his hand for a handshake. "Welcome to the family."

A girl went out to see the ruckus. "What's happening?"

"Belle. Your sister brought your brother-in-law." Their mom hugged my arm. I can see Mira laughing cutely by the door.

"Let go of him, mom. He looks like he'll bolt out of our house the minute you let go of his arm. Sister, please distance your friend away from these two." She pointed at their parents.

"I just want them to meet Aith." Mira held my hand and pulled me to her side. "Guys, meet Aithnayn, we are dating."

"You mean to say--" he father started.

"Your boyfriend?" Her mother.

"Come on! Never have your daughter introduced someone to us. Not even school friends! Much more of a boyfriend!"

"What about a friend first?" Her sister Belle interjected.

"Boyfriend would be awesome-er." Her father mumbled.

"I saw that word on facebook. Along with the 'haha-ed'." Her mom laughed.

"Im hungry." Her sister complained.

"Mom, dad. Don't scare Aithnayn." Mira looked at them with a small smile. A warning.

"I won't ever be scared, Mira." I can't help myself from holding her. I kissed her cheeks.

Her family looked at me like I did something so weird.

"She listened to you?" Her sister asked me, a bit surprised. "What love can do.." i heard her say as she goes back inside. "Mama, lets eat dinner."

Mira's mom was like woken up in trance as she looked at us. "Oh yeah! Aithnayn, son, join us."

"Join us for dinner?" She whispered to my ear.

"Of course." I smiled at her and she gave me a laugh.

"Thank you. Let's go?" She pulled my hand and we went inside their house again. This scene is foreign to me.

People crowding up the dinner table, countless food you can choose from. Drinks and a lot of plates and forks and spoons. I usually eat alone. I always do. So this is new to me.

"Eat, Aithnayn!" Her mom gave me my own plate and then made me sit. I want this life.

"Thank you for inviting me here." I tenderly squeezed her hand under the table.

"You like it here? I'll always invite you over."

"Won't they think that I am using you to get free food?" I tried joking. "I look like someone who will use you for my own gain."

"What are you talking about?" She feigned ignorance and put food on my plate.

Getting this attention from someone like her is fun. As small as she is, with her pastel colors and softness, pampering someone like me with the air of death and violence is baffling. "You look like a prince to me." She added.

I scoffed. "Right."

That would be the case for my brother, but me? I was trained to be a soldier. An unfeeling tool for destruction.

"By the way, will you be busy tomorrow?" She asked.

I remembered Luther dropping by tomorrow at my house. "I think. Work thing?"

We casually talked while we ate and this is refreshing. I am not talking to Jared or Luther or my partner in the force.

"Oh alright." Her face fell for a second.

"Why?"

"Nothing." She smiled at me again.

The night finished with a game of uno and I really enjoyed her family.

"Thank you for the wonderful night, Mira." I pulled her close to me.

"Anything for you, Aith."

I kissed her lips and she welcomed it by opening her mouth, giving the same intensity as my kiss. Showing that she isn't afraid of me.

"I should go."

She hummed and waved goodbye to me.

"See you."

We exchanged numbers and then I went home.
