12: babys first teleportation

.　 . • ☆ ⠀. ⠀★ ⠀ °:. ⠀*₊ ° .

"wait, we have to use a teleport waypoint..?" you said, your eyes widening a bit at the indigo haired puppet in front of you. it was now two days after you and kiyoshi had accepted the commission, and now you and him had just met up at the exit of sumeru city, and had been talking for a bit. not about much, just miscellaneous things, until eventually you had circled around to the topic of your method of transportation.

"yes. or would you rather be late?" kiyoshi said blankly, not realizing that you, not being from this world, had no clue if you could even use a teleport waypoint without dying or something, nor how to use it. though dying should probably be your first concern, not that you didn't know how to use one.

"ah, well, funny story, i don't know... how exactly to uh, use a teleport waypoint.." you said nervously, fiddling with the hem of your shirt, not looking up at kiyoshi. i hope he doesn't find that weird, i really don't want him to start being suspicious of me now.. though i guess the proper term would be more suspicious.

"really? did you not have any friends with visions in the past?" he asked with a skeptical look.

"vision holders..?" you murmured, before getting a even more skeptical look from your adventuring buddy. you quickly came to the realization that perhaps only vision holders could teleport, and it probably seemed pretty funky that you didn't know that.

"um i probably.. have? i can't really remember, but i do know that i have no clue how to operate a waypoint." you said, trying to pedal back and make yourself seem less suspicious. kiyoshi heaved a sigh, and put his hands on his hips with a annoyed expression.

"archons, so this'll be your first time using a waypoint.. well, i don't really need to teach you anything, but remember that if you throw up on me, i'll kill you." he said with a glare, before grabbing your hand without any warning and sucking you into some sort of void thing.

WHAT THE FUCK—

you came damn near close to screaming as loud as you could, but before you got the chance to empty your lungs of all remaining air, you were out of the void and in a rainforest.

you stood there for a few seconds trying to process what had happened, unknowingly still clenching kiyoshis hand with a death grip.

you sighed and opened your mouth to speak, but as soon as you opened your mouth, you felt bile rise up in the back of your throat, and quickly let go of your friends hand to bend down and vomit on the grass.

you wiped your mouth with a disgusted expression, spitting out saliva in an attempt to get the acid taste out of your mouth, and groaned.

"oh my god, eww..." you said, looking away from the pile of vomit with a disgusted expression. "also kiyoshi —WHAT THE FREAK."

"hm?" he said, raising a eyebrow at you. you looked up and glared at him, praying to the gods that your face didn't have any vomit on it. you had been wiping it obsessively, so you didn't think it did, but you might as well pray anyways.

"you didn't give me any warning! you should've told me before teleporting at least— also that was super weird, how do you do that without feeling sick??" you said, attempting to switch the conversation around because judging by the look on your lovely future husbands face, he held no remorse for not being more gentle with the teleportation.

kiyoshi shrugged non-chalantly and crossed his arms. "you get used to it after a while. and as for the warning, all it would've done is make you anxious."

"i guess that makes sense..?" you said with a confused tone. "still though!! next time, tell me before doing something like that, please." you said, getting up with a sigh and running your hands through your hair to try and make it look neater.

"god, i hope i don't look bad, we're gonna meet the people we're doing the commission with there, right?" you asked, though you were pretty sure you already knew the answer.

"yeah, they'll be there." kiyoshi said with a nod, you pursed your lips and smiled at him.

"well, i guess if i look like a idiot they're expectations for me will be perfectly set..." you said dejectedly. you decided to switch the topic and hopefully never talk about this embarrassing incident ever again. "okay— we should get going, let's go to.. uh... wherever we're.. going..." you paused and glanced back at kiyoshi, noting his small smirk.

"do you perhaps... not know where we're going?" he asked, raising a eyebrow at you. you paused, and put your hand on your chin and took a moment to think.

"i... maybe you should lead." you said defeatedly.
