The True Lives Of The Fabulous Kill Joys

Chapter 36- Regular

Its night, late at night. I think its time for me to do another late night practice. I havent done one in a while, I might be slipping. Its definitely time for another late night practice.

So, climbing over everyones bodies I sneak outside.

I do what I normally do; practice shooting, combat and physical fitness.

I wonder if Gee will come outside and join me like he normally does. He would join around now, about 15 minutes into me excersising. I take a seat on the roof and wait for him, even though I dont invite him, he is always there. Every time I ask why he is up and he says, 'I could ask the same question back'.

Tonight, though, he doesnt turn up, or he hasnt yet. Its weird because, even though I never ask for it, I kind of miss his suprise appearances.

Im about to give up and go back, but I hear a rustling. I stand at the edge of the roof and look over, for someone. I let out a slow breath, nobody is there. Im just too hopeful.

I try not to scream as someone grabs me around the waist. I turn, slamming my fist into their stomach. They sound winded... It must be Gee.

"Youre late." I say harshly.

He doesnt reply, he just falls to his knees.

"I waited." I say casually.

"I never knew this was a planned thing." He says, strained.

I shrug, sitting next to him on the roof.

"You need to stop attacking me."

"You need to stop grabbing me by surprise."

He shrugs, leaning back on his elbows.

"What do you think is in another country?" I ask after a considerably long silence.

He turns his head and looks at me, thinking.

"Is BL there too? Are Killjoys there?"

"Even if there was something else, we have to defeat BL first. We cant just leave and let BL kill thousands of people."

I nod slowly.

"When this is over. I promise we can travel over the world together. Only when this is over."

I imagine traveling. Somewhere people are not controlled by BL, maybe. I chuckle, what a weird concept.

"So is this a nightly thing now?" He asks me.

"If you want it to be. Or when I go out at night, Ill be sure to wake you."

"Im such a light sleeper that your movement wakes me anyway."

I think about how messed up our sleeping arrangements are. Six people on a giant mattress and two of them are up in the middle of the night.

I lie down and put my hands on my stomach. Imagine if you could go to the stars and touch them.

"What are you thinking about?" Gee asks.

I smile, "What if you go to the stars and touch them?" I say.

"You would burn your hand." He jokes.

"We could touch the starts when BL is gone..."

"When BL is gone, everything will be better."

"Youre telling me..."

"Another unit today. The A/T/T/A/C/K unit. Its simple. MK is going to get the memory stick. The rest distract and help him get there unharmed." Gee says.

"Can I come with?" Ace asks.

"Not yet. You need some training first and they may want you back."

She crosses her arms and pouts a little.

"Maybe next time." MK says, and we walk out the door.

Theres a new song playing on the radio, yet it is still catchy and inspirational. Gee says it is called Sing, and sometimes gets played to inspire people. It means we are close to defeating Korse. Although it doesnt mean much, as it has been played a few times before.

"Are you ready MK? You know the drill, right?" Gee shouts at MK over the wind.

He nods, stroking his gun by his leg.

Im excited to use my seduction powers today, hopefully they will come in good use. I prepare myself for a lot of touching and uncomfortable things.

"Its ironic that BL are so against people touching when the -Orses will be happy to be touched." Ef muses, reading my mind.

"Theyre creeps." I mumble.

"That they are."

We jump out the car and attack the building from each side. I dont pay attention to the others, they are more manic and I just saunter inside through the front door.

"Hi, can I help you?" A young man says.

He is around my age and has dark hair and eyes. He is smoking hot if I say so myself. I cant help but stare for a moment before snapping back into reality. Now I gotta be the girl, the seductive one.

I walk round the side of the desk that was separating us. He doesnt advance on me yet he doesnt run.

"I didnt know guys like you existed." I murmur, standing so close we are nearly touching.

I put my hand on his chest and look up into his eyes. His eyes are muddy brown and look like half wet, half dry mud. I focus myself again.

"I thought they killed all the ridiculously attractive people."

He looks dazed and I smirk. I stand so Im practically on his feet and I drag my hand slowly down his chest. He is warm and has a big chest. I bet he is strong. I snap out of the daze again, why does this keep happening?

I bite on my lip, looking away. I hear him inhale a small breath and I turn my eyes to look back into his.

"Why have I never seen you before?" I say so quietly that its almost inaudible.

I see Gee and MK pass behind us in the background. I put my hand on his cheek. I have to keep him busy for about a minute or so more.

"I dont know. You live near?" He whispers.

His voice is husky and I bite my lip. "Battery City." I lie with a mumble. "What ever is on my back is all I have left."

He puts his hand on my hip and it takes all my effort not to flinch. Ive got him under my control.

"You are beautiful." He mumbles.

I feel guilty, but I need to keep going.

"Oh." I blush, looking down.

I count in my head, 20 seconds.

"You know, I could just..." He starts leaning in, and its not even that far to reach me.

He stops with his lips so close to mine that Im almost scared to breathe. He breathes around my neck, intoxicated by my perfume. He looks back into my eyes.

"Whats your name?" I whisper.

"Callum." He says like a secret.

I have just seconds left and Im waiting for Gee and MK to run back through the hall shouting. I see him swallow before moving back up to my lips. Im praying that the guys are around the corner.

He takes his time, his lips closing the last centimetre. Just as his lips graze mine I hear a shout. I step back.

"Im sorry, theyre here." I say, sharing a last look before dashing out the door, followed by Gee, MK, Ef and Ar.

My eyes are wrenched off his as I turn the corner to the car. I dive in the back and within moments the A/T/T/A/C/K unit is in the distance.
