The boys on the side of the road [CREWFIC]

11- It's all about trust

Sidearms

When I woke up, I was in Deluxe's arms again. I leaned up on my elbows and looked at him. He looked really peaceful in his sleep. How I wondered how I looked when I slept.

Chills suddenly traveled in my body. I felt as if I was being observed. When I looked up, D20 was in the passenger's seat of the Westfalia, glaring at me. I shivered and slid out of Deluxe's grip, heading outside of the van with D20's eyes watching my every moves.

I forgot it was chilly in the morning. I shivered when I stepped outside, feeling the wet and crunchy grass under my bare feet. You could see the sun getting up in the distance.

I walked to a nearby tree and did my business. It was great having a Westfalia and all, but a West without bathroom isn't really useful.

I walked back to the van, but D20 beat me to it. He stepped out of it and closed the door behind him before I had the chance to.

"Hey, what's up-"

"Shut up."

I stopped and looked at him with wide eyes. "W-What?", I stuttered, feeling my nervous self coming back up to the surface.

"Listen to me, Albi", he started, taking a few steps closer to me. Me, however, I couldn't move so I stayed still. "I won't run around the bush, I want you to stop whatever relationship you have with my friend, are we clear?"

"B-But I-I li-"

"Are we clear?", he said firmly, glaring at me. Did I really have a choice now?

"You're scaring me, D20... What's going on?", I tentatively asked, looking down at my feet.

"What's going on is that Deluxe can't have feelings for you, and neither should you actually", he said, stepping one step closer to me. He was barely an inch away from my face, I could feel his hot breathe on my forehead.

I tried one more question. D20 was really beginning to scare me and I didn't understand what was happening. "W-W-Why?"

He sighed loudly, making my hair swirl with his breathe. "Because, Albi, we are not who you think we are, but that, you can't say it to your friend Speedy because he trusts us and we really need that ride you two are giving us", he explained exasperately. He grabbed both my shoulders, resulting in me looking up at his magnificent grey eyes. "I swear to god if you say one word to Speedy I'm gonna kill you, Side. So are we clear?", he repeated.

I didn't have a choice.

I nodded, scared shitless. Kill me? Fuck! I didn't want to die! And after all he said to me, I wasn't sure who he was anymore... I thought he was sweet, he looked sweet. But Deluxe... I liked him very much, and it was actually scaring me how fast I fell for him, but I didn't mind because he liked me too. Or did he?..

"Good. I'll keep an eye on you, Sidearms", he said before turning away and getting in the van.

I stayed outside a little while, still thinking about what had just happened. Just to my luck, Deluxe came out, smiling at me with his amazing smile. I wanted to smile at him but...

I glanced at the van and D20 was glaring at me, his arms crossed over his chest. When Deluxe came to hug me, I dodged his arms and waltzed back inside the van. I just had the time to heard a faint broken 'what' before I closed the door behind me.
