Light filters through the black haze obscuring my vision, giving way to a white ceiling. Normally gaining conscience would be convenient but not if you have scored yourself a monster of a migraine. And the more sight I gain, the more the searing pain takes hold as if that haze was my only protection for it. In that case I would like my haze back please!
Ahhhh!!! Shit that hurts! Where the hell am I? Whe-where's Roman?! Is he ok ?
"N-Neo?" Ah there's his voice... kind of hurts but i don't care he's ok.
Groaning I try to blink the groggyness and struggle to sit up- only to be pushed down gently by two big warm.. comforting hands...mmmm wait wha-ahh my head! "Neo hey I'm here you can't move yet. Stay frozen silly little IceCream!"
I could almost here the megawatt smirk in his voice. He picks now when I'm disabled and unable to punch him to throw that demeaning nickname!
I flip him off, finally managing to fully regain vision and releasing a barrel of his carefree laughter. It brings a smile to my face. He doesn't laugh like that much I've noticed. So refreshing from his laugh reserved for chilling the blood of his opposition; dark and humourless. I'm glad he's safe, with his pale beautiful face only scratched here and there and a messy sweep of firey orange hair that somehow looks even better than his usually perfectly styled look- wait jesus what drugs have they been pumping into me.
"Oh Neo! What the hell happened? You were all kicking ass and not bothering with names and then next minute you were all 'I'm gonna go skidiving with no parachute and eyes closed!" he questioned accusingly, getting louder with each word.
I roll my eyes and move my hands in a give me 'come closer' gesture. Furrowing his brows he complys only he comes too close. I duck my head quickly as I feel a blush wincing. I must have hit me head harder then I thought Ahh why am I blushing? Hurridly I point to the phone. Understanding finally he hands the phone. Furious I start to type;
First of all why the hell would you run after them, by yourself with no back up in one of the most conspicuous forms of extermination?!!!!! You then left me having to run after you through dark and just downright filthy allyways and jump rooftops!!!! I nearly got molested by some drunk asshole and then you managed to lose a fight against girls who really should be beneath your skill level! I had come and save your sorry ass because your rescue crew are as incompetent as you! I'm pretty sure I did my ankle in on that jump!!!!! ALL ON NO FUCKING ICECREAM YOU DOUCHEPURSE!!!!!
Smirking and satisfied I had gotten my point across I hand over the phone and wait for him to realise he was an idiot and should feel guilty. Instead I scowl when all I got was a laughing fit Roman style: breaking the sound barrier loud, falling off his chair and crying laughing fit. After a few minutes it was too infectious to resist and finially I smile.
"N-Neo," He struggles, still heaving with laughter, "Your temper and flair have certainly been missed. I mean Cinder just misses your skills but I have to say it hasn't been the same with you being out of action. And I know... that may or may not be my fault. But regardless of who's to blame... I bought you this!" With a dramatic bow he reveals a present wrapped messily and looked .... soggy??? But that wasn't the point...
He bought me a present??? Took time and put in effort to make it up to me? No one has ever done that for me... it makes me warm inside... my insides felt like they were liquifying yet again... I guess I will have to ask for icecream after I unwrap this unexpected gift.
Smiling I start to tear open the package... which changes into absolutely demolishing his hardwork once I realised what he got for me!
Ask and you shall receive I guess!!!!
Roman P.O.V
She wrecked my beautiful wrapping paper.. okay maybe not beautiful but still ... with the eagerness of a small child at Christmas but I didn't care. The joy filled full blown grin that spread from ear to ear on her usually professional face was enough for me. I couldn't help but fall for this side of her.
Which was what was happening right... I was indeed falling for her. The bad, the evil, the badass demeanor, her stubborn nature, her amazing skill, her petite and innocent figure that hides the cold blooded beast within, her child like rage and playful nature that can get on level with my own. I, the total evil supermind I am, even fall for her sweet goey centre. I know the idea of Neopolitan, a notorious assassin sold at the highest bidder, having a side that is even the tinsiest softer that steel plated ice shards covered in barbwire is hard to imagine. But that's just the thing! She doesn't show it to just anyone. Neo barely allows herself to even acknolodge this. You have to dig and claw down until you reach her compassion. This side, the side that really cares for what matters to her doesn't easily see the light of day, making it such a rare and beautiful thing. I just hope I can unlock this side and get her to open up to me. Every glimpse of that side leaves me craving for more and I've always adored her down right evil mind. She can change her appearence but her true self is just perfect for her and I fancy every inch of her adorable body. I will work for her, to earn her true trust at the very least. But I won't lie and say I don't want more.
Anyways we are getting way too sentimental and all that blibbidy blah crap! So much I actually feel less badass and evil. Ugh Neo what are you doing to me?
Turning back to her I smile as I watch her dig into her icecream-no wait! She's already polishing it offthat 5Litre bucket! HOLY CRAP SHE EATS ICECREAM LIKE A CHAMP!
I chuckle at her appetite "Feel better Icecream?"
She freezes midscoop with a sheepish grin. She pops the last scoop in mouth before typing It's a start but you still have some more sucking up to do Mr Fancypants!
I laugh at her attempt to hide how I hit the jackpot of how to earn her forgivness. You could see the gratitude shinning through the veil of teasing playfulness. "Well Cinder paged me half an hour ago and she's bound to have put out a bounty for me so I will let you rest and then we can kick ass tomorrow with icecream cones in our hands." I wink and she silently giggles. "Night Neo." giving her hand a friendly squeeze to hopefuly comfort her, and admittedly quench my Neo craving.
I switch off the light as she gets comfy. Still looking so downright sweet you would never guess her deliciously evil ingeniousness.
I sigh closing the door quietly. Again Neo what have you done to me. You make me feel things I never thought I would.
Neo's P.O.V
I touch the hand he squeezed remembering how it felt, savoring the warmth as it was the most precious thing in the world.
Why? I am so confused! What are you doiing to me Roman?
