Before heading to bed, I took a relaxing babble bath. I added a galaxy bath bomb, with some disco music on. I shaved my legs and arms, plucked my eyebrows, put on my facial night cream and painted my nails red.
Since we were going to such a nice city, Fiumicino, wouldn't it be best for me to dress nicely, too?
I'm so excited so . And this mission for finding Timothy felt like I was in Men In Black, or something. I was feeling excited for the first time since the attacks and I was eager to visit a new place. I really needed this!
I dried my hair and combed it nice and silky. Putting my blue pajamas, I sprayed some perfume on. Sleeping fresh! Walking to Elliott's room to kiss him goodnight — just a friendly peck on the cheek, though!
I looked at his door, which was decorated with 'STAY OUT' and 'No Trespassing' signs, and one of them saying 'Only blue haired angels welcome'. I could only grin as a reaction. As I knocked on his door, Elliot yelled "Come in."
I stepped in his neat and tidy room. Green plastered all over the walls. Adorned with photos with either me or the both of us. One of my favorites was Elliot and I taking a picture by a rollercoaster. Another was a selfie with him in the back doing the peace sign symbol. "...Hey, Elli."
Elliot looked at me and made a weird expression, "Since when did you call me 'Ellie'?"
"Sounds too kiddish, huh?" I joked.
"Sounds feminine, which is great, but not my style." Elliot said.
"Yes, I prefer your full name better. Elliot Anderson. Sounds like an American president no one has heard of."
Elliot chuckled,
"No one except you probably."
His reply made me laugh.
I sat down beside him on his red bed. It looked comfy. I thought about how nice it'd be to sleep beside him. I wouldn't feel so alone. Having him sleep by me sounds comforting. Imagining it makes me smile.
His inviting warmth right beside me. His calm, sleeping breath against my face. His strong arms against mine—I stopped myself before I lost my cool.
".... Mind if I sleep here.... with you tonight.... I don't want to feel alone tonight."
He looked quite surprised. He though for a moment. "S-sure."
I felt so squirmish and excited again. My chest felt all warm and colorful inside. Burst of pink and red flew around my soul.
Elliot scratched the back of his neck and stared at me with embarrassment. ".... I'm glad you're here with me. "
"Aww... I feel safe with you. Since, the disaster 4 days ago, I couldn't sleep." I laid down on the wall side of his bed. Slipping under the covers. The blanket was so thick and soft. Our heads were facing the ceiling.
"You know, it's technically a sin to sleep with a man without getting wed." He said with a chatty tone,"
"There's so many sins that we ignore by now!" I replied.
"And yet, we call ourselves saints." Elliot laughed.
"The church as always been corrupted. We will always be corrupted." I said.
"We never learn, do we? We have always been the same."
"Ah, humans." I sighed.
I stared at the ceiling.
Elliot broke the silence, "You smell nice. What is it? Strawberry?"
"Yes! The babble bath was strawberry scented. Nice smell, Elliot."
"You know what they say, demons can smell fear.... and other things."
"Like a dog."
"No, not like a dog!" He grinned elbowing me.
"I'm joking!" We both laughed.
".... I haven't had the proper chance to thank you. You really did protect me from that alchemist." Elliot said. He must've felt moved. I saw him clench his shirt and close his eyes. "You risked getting hurt for me.... like it was nothing."
I felt warm. I turned to him, ".... I would do anything for you."
Elliott gasped and stood still.
"...! What?" He said speechless.
".... I'm not kidding. I couldn't help myself from running to you. It's like my beating heart was controlling my actions and I felt like it was right. It felt good and so good and great and all these things for doing all that for you!" I said.
He was blown away.
"I felt as these things! And they were good things! I felt wonderful yet, scared at the same time! Haha!?" I chuckled.
Elliot's body was all red. "Wha- what are you saying? Why does it make me so happy?! What is this feeling?!"
".... I'm guessing this feeling is that.... our freindship getting stronger!!"
"Elliot, we're like soul mates!"
"Soul mates?"
