Holding Out For A Hero

Mangos

"What?" The redhead question while rubbing his temples. The sudden news seemed to have taken him by surprise. He didn't quite know how to respond to my plead.

Priscilla sat unaffected in the comfy chair. Her hair was pulled in a tight bun, showing off her new neon pink ear plugs. She let Finn be the one to question my decision. As a true friend, she understood I had my reasons for doing this. She already said yes without an explanation.

Finn shook his head, "this is unbelievable! I can't believe you're asking us to do this."

"Finn, please. It'll only be for a short while."

I nudged the papers towards him once again. He looked at the empty space for his signature before continuing his pacing. His body was vibrating at a faster level. His figure a basic blur in the eyes of me and Priscilla.

He disappeared for a millisecond than came back. An angered look upon his face, "you know what! I don't understand it. You and Benjamin seemed to be getting along just fine, why the hell are you deciding to leave?"

What Finn said was true. We were in a better place now. Benjamin barely had left my side since the confession and he spoke wildly about our awaiting future. It was as if my life became a real-life fairytale.

As much as I enjoyed stealing kisses from him without worry, life just wasn't a fairytale. There were a thousand demons behind me. Their patiences growing quite thin. I needed to get rid of them before they acted out.

I desired to be able to look in the mirror and not have to cringe at the thought that tomorrow may be the day those demons come after me.

"Because," I tried to vocalize in words, "my responsibilities have grown. My job isn't only to protect Bumble anymore but Bennie as well."

"Benjamin can protect-"

I gave Finn a powerful shove, causing him to stagger back a few steps. His eyes widen and he caught the papers before they slide down his chest.

"You don't understand!"

Priscilla stood to her toes. She looked frantically between me and Finn than released a huge sigh before taking hold of my hands.

She gave a soft squeeze and nodded once, "your right. We don't understand, Rarity but do you honestly think this is the best choice? Finn's only worried you haven't thought this through enough."

So the idiot does have a caring side, I thought while staring at the redhead. He tried his hardest to avoid eye contact. He obviously was not very enthusiastic with Priscilla sharing this small detail.

"I'm positive." I said confidently, "it's time I became a better person."

Finn picked up a fountain pen off the small bed-stand. He laid the papers onto the windowsill, skimming over the guideline  I've chosen. They were pretty basic: keep Blake in the same school district, keep careful eyes on him, let him participate in activities, and to always remind him I loved him more.

He would always be my baby bumble bee. The little rascal that caused nothing but chaos in my life. He had my heart the minute his little chubby fingers grasped onto my hand that day and said "gah".

He was the first person who taught me what real love was. He was the only family who accepted me for every flaw. I hated having to do this to him but I knew deep down inside, after he got over his anger with me, he'd understand.
