The sun came through the windows an brightened the rooms making it look welcoming instead of erie. The light spread over my face slowly until it was over my eyes. I woke up an squinted at the widow. I sighed an shoved my head into my pillow. 'Damn it it's morning.' I groaned, "Lucid." He groaned back at me, "What..." "Time to get up..." I started to get out of bed to open the curtains fully, but Lucid wrapped his arms around my torso making me stop. "Do we have to get up I'm tired." I smiled an rubbed my eyes, "Yep. You got work an I got practice to get to. Now come on, up an at 'em!" I pulled his arms apart an walked over to the curtains sleepily an opened them. Light came flooding in blinding me for a moment. I blinked repeatedly until the blindness cleared.
I turned back to Lucid who was lying face down on my bed. I smirked then walked over to the edge of the bed. "Come on Lucid you gotta go to work in an hour!" He groaned an curled into a ball. "Do I have to sin the song you don't like me singing?" "Nyctalgia don't you dare." I grabbed his wrists an pulled him outta bed, "Robin hood an little John walking through the forest. Laughing back an forth about what the other has to say." He glared at me sleepily as I sang one of my favorite childhood songs. "Robin Hood an little John havin such a good time ooo de lolly ooo de lolly golly what a day!" I pushed him out the bedroom door an into the bathroom so that he could shower.
"Never ever thinkin there was danger in the water they were drinkin it and guzzling down. Never dreaming that A scheming sheriff and his posse were a watchin an gatherin around!" He rolled his eyes an slammed the bathroom door on me. I laughed an continued to sing, "Robin Hood and little John running through the forest jumpin fences dodgin trees trying to get away. Contemplating nothin but escape and finally making it ooo de lolly ooo de lolly golly what a day! Ooo de lolly ooo de lolly golly what a day!" "Are you done now you dork!" Lucid yelled at me through the bathroom door. I laughed, "Awe come on you love my singing!" "Not when you sing that song over an over again!" I banged on the door, "Oi! I can sing that song if I wanna sing that fucking song! Now shut up an take a damn shower!"
I heard the shower start to run an I made my way down stairs into the kitchen. I went to the fridge an pulled out some eggs and bacon. Except they were 'chicken' eggs or 'pig' bacon. Chickens and pigs didn't exist on our world, our world was similar to that of earths though. Earth was now a barren wasteland of bones and ash. The kind of eggs that we had on our world were similar to a chicken but it's was a larger bird and it looked like a cross between a chicken and a peacock. It had blue feathers all across his body, and the tips of its wings were white and it even had a sort of crown of white feathers on its head. And it produced larger eggs as well. It was called a Mikio it was in a way our version of a chicken. And then the pig-like creature we had was larger than the normal pigs as well but it was hairy and had two sets of tusks coming out of its mouth. We called that a Tustine, a mix between a pig and a javelina-type creature.
I started to cook the bacon on a skillet an I cracked two eggs an dropped them in a frying pan. I heard Lucid coming down the stairs when I was putting the eggs out an waiting for the bacon to finish. "Nyctalgia?" I didn't look up from the skillet, "Hm?" "Can you help me with my tie?" I turned an gave him a confused look. I smiled slightly, "But your normally good at tying your tie." He stood in front of me with a gray suit on holding his suit jacket in his hand. I sighed an rolled my eyes, "Idiot." He chuckled as I fixed his tie for him. I pat his shoulder as soon as I finished an smiled, "There you go lookin sharp there tiger!" He chuckled, "I try to be." I bopped him on the nose, "No you have to be because of your job!"
He rolled his eyes an smiled, "Whatever. Now hurry up with my bacon!" I whacked him upside the head as he walked away. "I'm the one who bought the bacon! Your not getting any if your gonna act like that!" He held up his hands, "Okay! I'm sorry!" I turned back to the skillet an flipped the bacon over. "Can I still have bacon though?" He placed his head on my left shoulder an looked at me innocently. "Can you say please you fucking douche bag?" "Can I have some bacon little shit head?" I raised my eyes brows and stared at him for a moment.
"MAY I have some bacon you little shit head?" I smiled an booped his nose, "Yes you may!" He ruffled my hair making it so I couldn't see. "Hey! Not the hair!" I brushed my hair back out of my face and smiled at him. "Dip shit." He laughed an sat down at the breakfast bar we had in the kitchen. I was just putting our plates down when the familiar clink of the mail latch opening and closing. I looked over at Lucid and he rolled his eyes, "Fine I'll go grab the damn mail." He slid out of his chair an shuffled over to the mail lying on the ground. As he was walking back I poured him a glass of orange juice an looked towards the mail. "Anything besides junk mail or bills?" Lucid was flipping through then stopped, "Looks like you have mail." I frowned an sat down, "For what?" He shrugged an handed it to me, "No idea. Kinda looks like some one what's you to model something." I took the letter an ripped the envelope open, spilling the contents onto the counter. I tossed the envelope into the trash an unfolded the paper. I was about to take a drink then I slammed the cup back down. Lucid looked at me curiously, "What?" "Oh my god!" He poked my solder, "What? What is it?!" I smiled, "You were right about the modeling thing Lucid. But guess who wants me to do it?" He thought for a moment,
"Um...Guiter Fasion?" I slapped his shoulder, "No! The friken Skater Magazine wants me to you fuckin retard! And their coming to my practice today." He laughed, "What don't want to model glassy clothing?" I shook my head, "Not unless I'm paid good. I don't like wearin those fancy clothes. But not the point! I'm gonna get to be in a magazine!" I shook his shoulders an smiled. He laughed as he finished his breakfast, "I'm very happy for you. But now I got to get to work." I looked at his watch as he got up. He slipped his shoes on an put his jacket on. He waved as he walked out the door, "See you later Nyctalgia!" I waved, "Bye!!!" He smiled and the door closed behind him. 'Hm now it's my turn to get ready now I guess.' I took the plates to the sink an washed them an put them back in the cupboard where they belonged.
Just as I was about to walk up the stairs a scratching noise came from the balcony in the living room. I frowned an looked out the glass doors. There was a white cat sat out on the concrete it looked like a stray. I opened the door an squatted down next to it. "Well hello there little kitty!" It meowed an rubbed against my leg. I scratched its ears an picked it up. My phone buzzed an I checked it quickly. It was from Lucid. 'Don't keep let the cat destroy the house if your going to keep it.'
I looked over the railing an saw him staring up at me smiling. I flipped him off an hugged the cat, it purred an nuzzled my cheek. I saw him laugh as he got into his car an drove off. I smiled an walked back into the apartment with the cat. "Your a nice kitty! But I got to get ready for my job now." I set it down an it followed me into the bathroom an sat next to the tub as I took a shower. It sat on my bed as I got dressed in a white tank and a red flannel along with my ripped skinny jeans an my black high tops. It followed me around until I was at the front door. It stared up at me sadly. "I don't think I can take you with me kitty." I looked at it sadly, an I meowed back at me. It rubbed itself against my legs an meowed. I sighed an smiled, "Ok I guess I could bring you and have one of the guys watch you." I picked him up an walked out the door. It rested itself on my shoulders as I locked the door an starts walking out to my own car. When I got in the car it rested himself on my legs and I smiled. "I'm gonna call you Scout. Cause you seem to like to scout me out an follow me." Scout meowed happily an purred on my lap. I smiled as I backed the car out of the parking lot an made my way to the skate park for practice.
