The Dawn - Sylus x OC

5. -COLLISION-

„Don't worry food is gonna be ready in a bit."

He stands up, leaving me blushing from embarrassment on the couch. The heavy air and tensing feeling in the room shifted, i find myself relaxing on the couch and let my muscles ease.

After the feast, i lay back into my chair with a full stomach.

„The food was amazing"

I say, almost forgetting everything else. I feel myself at home without realizing it. I hear a quiet chuckle and a small laugh from Sylus's direction. The chair queeks and i see Sylus standing up and walking towards my direction, his gentle slow walk gets me hypnotized and i cant let my eyes off of him.

He suddenly reaches out his hand for me, forcing me to gently rest my palm on his hand.

"Come with me, im gonna show u something"

I blindly follow, but why? Why does my body not feel tense anymore? I don't sense any threat nor any danger. The only thing thats worth worrying, is the feeling deep inside my Aether core.

I follow the footsteps of Sylus, my gaze locked on him, holding my hand he walks past the hallway.
My memory glitches, the quick flashback run in an instand, the head motion the sound of footsteps , the warmth wrapping around my hand suddenly feels like a deja vu. Speechless, i just follow Sylus to a bedroom.

"This is your room for now. Your bathroom is on the-"

"Im not staying."

I flinch my hand away.

"Excuse me?" Sylus looks at me puzzled

"I said im not staying here, i want to get home. Get me out of here, i never intended in staying."

I say, my voice sounding very strictly and demanding. His eyebrows rises.

"What a stubborn kitten"

My expression tightens,

"You are aware that, if u return home, all the Wanderers will sense ur, now very strong, fluctuations and cover ur so called 'home' with destructive cores?"

He's right but

"I can't stay here forever."

"As much as i would like u too, no. You don't have to. Just a couple of weeks-"

"Days."

I caught him off guard. He looks at me.

"Days.. hmm."

"Three days. Max. No more, and you're gonna repair my Aether Core, then never hear from me again. Understood?"

To my surprise he gives me a small warm smile, and says.

"Deal."

I lay in 'my' bed and look at the ceiling. A lot of things have happened. The Wanderers, fluctuations and my Aether Core. Maybe Sylus is right and he knows what he's talking about but there's one thing that bothers me.
