Chapter 15

~Masky's P.O.V.~

"Thank you....", Candy whispers. I stare at her. "Did you want him?", my voice stern, more than I had wanted it. She flinches a little and looks away, letting her bangs cover her eyes and half her face. "I-I don't kn-now.", I relax a little and make her look at me, tucking her bangs behind her ear. "I'm sorry.", I say softly. This girl can break easily. She's got to be treated gently. Though, her innocence may shield everyone from her core. Her metal suit. "Masky?", she says, cocking her head slightly. I shake my head a little. "Sorry, what? I dozed off for a moment.", she smiles a little, trying not to. "U-um.... W-why are you-you-you-you s-sorry?", her smile fades. "Well, I did just take you out of that room when you didn't have your shirt or bra on. Anyone could've seen you.", her eyes widen and blushes deeply again, removing her chin from my fingers, burying her face in her hands. "Oh my Lord! Your right!", her voice muffled she squirms out of embarrassment. "I'm so sorry you had to see that!", I chuckle. "It's alright. I was impressed."

She gasps and looks at me, her blush increasing. "Masky!", she punches my arm. I laugh. "How the Hell can you be impressed by THIS?!", she gestures to her chest. I laugh more, throwing my head back. "I'm serious! My younger sister has bigger boobs than me!", she does a weird hand thing. I reach under my mask and wipe some tears. "Why are you so worried about it?", her blush disappears a little and she crosses her arms. "People say I should be worried about it, but I don't. At least, not that much. I only do because people expect me to." "And, why should you care what they think." "I-I'm afraid of being alone, so I do some things that people want AND expect me to do. Ya know.... Just to fit in more.", I lay a hand on her shoulder. She looks up at me with innocent eyes and I feel myself blushing. I give her shoulder a squeeze. "Here, you can act however and just be you.", tears gather in her eyes, then a smile crawls onto her face, tackling me with a hug, landing on top of me. I hug her back, chuckling. She gives me a squeeze. "I wish more people were like you.", she sniffles, tears rolling down her face, onto my jacket. "People like you truly understand."

I lay my head back, blushing furiously, yearning for her to be mine. But of course, I don't know her well enough. Well, I kind of do, but as far as I can tell, she only sees me as a friend. I let my fingers get tangled in her hair. She nuzzles my chest, smiling softly. "Your an awesome friend."(*flips table* OOOOOOOOOO! FRIEND ZOOOOOOOONED!!!!!!), I doubt anything will happen between us, so I'm fine with being close friends. But the friend zone still stung. I prop myself up on my elbow. Candy has her hands on either sides of me, her hair falling from behind her ears and touching my chest. She has those innocent eyes again, her mouth slightly open, a blush crossing her face again. We sit like that for a moment before her eyes widen and she pushes backwards, off from above me. She puts he hands in her lap and her blush deepening. I sit up all the way now. She looks at her lap. I chuckle and tuck her hair back behind her ears. "It's ok.", I smile. As if she knows, she smiles back, closing her eyes.

"Hey Candy. We-", Kyla begins, walking in and cuts her self off when seeing us. A smirk grows on her face and she leans against the door frame. "Whatcha ya doin'?" "Nothing you and Toby haven't done.", Candy smirks back. Kyla blushes and laughs. Candy smiles. I stand. "See you.", I chuckle, ruffling Candy's hair then walking past Kyla, leaving them room.
