Difficult Decisions

Virus!Cry

Alex POV:

I make a split second decision and decide to run after him. I grab the mask and ignore Georgia's calls as I sprint after him. I jump over a car that almost ran me over and I see Cry running into an alleyway. I make a hard turn as I sprint after him, trying my best to catch up. Breathing hard, I sprint around another corner and see him slowing down. I speed up. "Cry! You forgot-" I trail off as I see the electricity crossing his mask. "Oh, that's nice. Virus?" I say, walking up to the blond. Virus spins around and snatches his mask from my hands. "Uh, can you do this a bit later? I kinda need Cry to return to the house before something bad happens. So, since you share a body with him, can you please go back to the house." He thinks about it. "On one condition." I sigh, nodding. "Anything. Come on." He looks at me incredulously. "You don't even want to know what the condition is?" I shrug. "Well, no. You'll tell me when we get to my house. Before Cry gets back in his body." Virus nods, following me back. The rain covers my tears still streaming down my face. "Are you still crying? I can't really tell because of the rain." Shaking my head, I smile a bit. My god faking emotions are hard. I prefer being a cold-hearted bitch. These emotions hurt. "Eh, hurry inside, I need to go get something." I run off, seeing Virus walk in and immediately go into my room. I walk to the store and grab a few things for movie night. Which was supposed to be tonight. "Pixels? Or... Goosebumps? I'll just get both." I put them in the basket along with a box of 10 bags of popcorn. After checking them out, I go outside and run back inside, walking to the sunglasses area. I buy one of their darkest pairs and also buy an umbrella. I walk out, fully loaded to avoid the sunlight that was peeking through. When I walk into the house I hear Georgia sigh. "You waste your money on another pair of sunglasses and an umbrella you won't use instead of getting movie's for movie night?" I smile, showing her the bag. She smiles and jumps up and down. "Yes yes yes I love these!" I smile. "I'd hoped you would. Oh, I only bought enough bags for us two. Five each. No room for the guys. Girl's night tonight. You told them that, right?" She immediately looks down. I sigh. "Hey! Guys! We need you to leave around 8 tonight, okay?" I yell out in the house. Mark walks in as a chorus of 'okay's were given. "Why?" I shrug. "Girls night. Not enough popcorn for you guys." Mark looks at me strangely and says okay, walking into a different room. "Georgia, notice how our house is infested with confusing pests that have their own house?" That makes her laugh. "Oh, be right back." I jog to my room, looking for Virus. It's pitch black. I take off my sunglasses and look around, seeing that my room was empty. I walk in some more and hear my door click. "Where did Lucifer go?" I ask Virus, noticing the blue light illuminating the room some-what. "I don't know."

"Okay then. So, what's your condition?"

"Well..." He trails off. I spin around, confused. He walks very close to me. "Cry really likes you. So does his other-sides. Including me." Mad? He sure doesn't show it. Wonder where this is heading. If it's not obvious already. "I want you to torment Cry." That's what I thought. "How? Like, in what way?" I ask, already knowing. "I want you to turn him on and then totally ignore him. Make him question whether you love him or are just playing with him. If you do that Mad and I will take over his body whenever he tries running and stop him. You don't have to do it to Mad or I." I sigh. "Okay. Is there another option? Cause I honestly have no clue how to do that." Virus looks surprised. "You don't know how to toy with someone's emotions? Do you even know how to turn someone on?" I shake my head no. He sighs. "I guess I can teach you." Eh, do I have to get taught by you...? "I'll just ask Georgia, thanks. She'll probably know." Wait. Is Georgia younger or older than me? I think she's younger. Why will I ask her then? Eh, Virus doesn't need to know that. I walk out and start making dinner. Everyone walks to the kitchen right once the smell turns good. "Whatcha' cookin'?" Georgia asks, walking up. "Uh, I don't exactly know. Noodles and uh, melted peanut butter mixed with chocolate. It's really good. Like pouring melted peanut buttery chocolate over very thin slices of bread, I guess." I try my best to explain. She makes a face. "It's like fish fingers and custard. It sounds gross but is actually very good." Everyone walks out besides Georgia. "Is it almost done?" She asks. "Uh, yeah. The chocolate-PB is. The noodles need a bit more time. Oh yeah. I need to ask you something when all the guys are gone." I say, remembering the task Virus gave me. "I'll also have to explain why I would ask that too, I guess." I say, rambling while I rush around the kitchen. "I've never seen you cook before." She states. "Yeah, this is the only thing I can make. I can cook noodles and melt random things." A timer goes off and I throw it across the room to shut it up. I hurriedly turned everything from the oven off and pour the noodles in a thingy holder. "Uhh, okay. After dinner they have to go for my question and the movie." I call everyone and they walk in, grabbing a bowl of PeaChocoButter Noodles. "Wow. Really creative name for it." Mark says sarcastically. "Hey! I created the name when I was 14! Don't judge!" I say, eating more of the noodles. "This is really good, actually." Author Mark says. "Ha! Author Mark has the same taste buds as you so you can't judge me!" I say childishly. He rolls his eyes and takes a bite. His eyes widen. "See?" After dinner, they all leave and Georgia comes up to me. "So, what was the question?"
