No One of Us

Part 7

Singto Pov.

After Forth had guided us about our missions, Krist and I went back to our room and to be honest I'm pretty confused. If these Cupids advocate love, why would they be using violence and murdering people? I love Krist but wouldn't randomly kill only to defend my love for him, but only if Krist's life was in danger. I thought a little bit about this when I was still in the quarter shortly after Commander Wad's speech, if there really was this society of Cupids where they defended love, I might consider talking to Krist and if he agreed we could flee there and seek refuge with them , but after this information I wonder if staying on their side is the best choice, because killing, tricking and deceiving people using such a pure feeling does not make them any better than the masked ones who punished us and sent several of us to hell. If love is this, my feeling for Krist then is not love, I refuse to compare they love with what I feel for Krist, but then something tells me that everything that Forth said seemed incomplete, as if it weren't everything or as not to trust completely what he said. "You must be thinking the same as me, right?" I leave my reveries and I look at Krist who asks me as he entwines our fingers, telling him all that I had just thought I see him give a weak smile "I really thought the same thing ... Singto, to be honest we know very little about life outside, we have been trained and we have only their point of view and we haven't even investigated if the culprits of this crimes are really Cupids. I want to look with my own eyes at what is happening out here and if we can't find refuge with Cupids, we can get away from all of this, of all of them. What I can't and will not accept is to lose you" I feel my eyes burn and for the first time I want to cry for other than physical pain, with my thumbs I brush the tears from Krist that are already rolling over his face and kiss his eyes. We are sitting on the bed and the silence in the room fell on us, I pull Krist next to me and I lie on the bed hugging him "Krist, what we'll do is to observe, and everything that the other perceives and knows will share with the other, only so we can choose what to do, can it be? Until then we'll pretend to be perfect Crows" Krist who was with his head buried in my neck gets up and after giving me a quick kiss on the lips agrees with the head and buries his head again hugging me stronger, I return the gesture and I remember something that would be important Krist to know "So I need to tell you something that I noticed when we were still in the quarter".

Krist Pov.

"So I need to tell you something that I noticed when we were still in the quarter", Singto laughs a little and I wonder what it could be, "Remember the masked Prem?" I nod. "Remember all the looks I give you?" I laugh a little confused "Of course I remember! What's the relation with him?" Singto raises my head so he can look in my eyes with a smile that I always wanted to take with a kiss every time I saw, "Now imagine Prem looking the same way I look at you but at Commander Wad" and he wait for me to process the information, after a few confused minutes I understand and I'm surprised "Is what I'm thinking?" , "It's what you are thinking! Well, at least I think is that...if this is true then it means that even the masked ones can be corrupted" , "Are you sure? Maybe it's not th..." , "Krist! I know how I look at you and I recognized the same look immediately when I saw Prem, the look of who is looking at his most valuable thing" he kisses my forehead and I feel something strong inside me warming my body and a happiness invades me but soon comes to me a question "But then, what does that mean?", "I still don't know but if a masked also gets corrupted it means that we are not alone, maybe they also think like us, at least some of them...should have, I hope...anyway, this can be useful in the future" and so we go to sleep hugging and trying mentally to be well for tomorrow.

Singto Pov.

Forth gave us a map and said that the workshop we'll work was close and that we could be walking, all our missions were in close locals and this will make him supervise all of us in a better way. As we walked, we observed the locality well, the people who passed us were always with a serious face and low head avoiding visual contacts. We saw the shed that would be the machine workshop, it was well located on the corner of two perpendicular streets and this gave us a good view in 4 directions, except the shed and a commercial point that appears to be a gym that resembles the one we have in our dormitory, right on the diagonal corner, all other buildings were residences. "There's a bigger flow of men around here, maybe it's for the gym and it will goes up with the mechanic's shop." Krist is right, we didn't see a lot of women when we came in here, and that's pretty weird. We opened the shed and saw that we did not have to organize much, we could open the shop and wait for customers. "Good Morning!" me and Krist who were pushing some trolleys full of tools to near the hydraulic lift turned around and saw a guy who seems to have our age pushing a motorcycle by the handlebars inside "Excuse me, I live beside here and I saw that you opened a workshop and my bike needs to be arranged with certain urgency, is it possible?". In the trainings we dealt very much with pieces of vehicles from the quarter and Krist although not has a good income in all the other routines, maintenance was the only routine that he could surpass over the others although that didn't improve his image within the group, I had notions of which I learned but not with all the competence that Krist showed, it seemed that he understood very well about this area "Sure! It will only take a few minutes...what's the problem?" Krist approaches the motorcycle and starts to analyze it. "It's not starting at all even with fuel..." , "Okay, sit there,please! I'll finish soon!" and Krist starts the repair. Seeing that the boy was a little uncomfortable I offer him a seat and when I see him accept, I sit beside him "BM, nice to meet you!" and extend my hand, "Em, me too!" he shakes my hand, "Who's there is Night...then...are you a neighbor of the shed?" I wanted to ask some questions but I don't know how far I should go, people don't seem to talk much out here, "Yes, I am...err...do you live here too?" He asks me without looking me in the eyes, but I keep looking at him, he seems to be shy. "We live near here, we were located to work here in this workshop...what was here before?" , "Was always a workshop, but the previous owner died, he was already an old man." Em answers me and quickly looks at me, "Finished! It wasn't complicated" Krist gets up and starts to picking up the tools, and it was the sexiest sight in the world, Krist in jumpsuit with dirty grease in his chin and tools in hand, which could be my tool and just to think about it I feel a heat and I open a few buttons of my jumpsuit and I fanned myself, just see Krist gave me a heat, when I turn my attention to the Em guy I catch him almost drooling looking at my chest exposed, he was so distracted by my chest that he didn't even notice I was looking at him, until Krist realized the situation and honked the bike "Ready! XX baht!".

Krist Pov.

"Ready! XX baht!" I say a little loudly as I notice this guy looking at my Singto's chest. 'These people weren't banned from any sign of attraction and everything else? What does he think he's doing looking like that? I'm going to report this boy just because of his audacity'. He seems to get out of the trance he was and sees Singto looking at him (we'll talk later Mr. Singto) and he looks at me, he quickly gets up, hands me the value of the repair and without looking back takes the bike and leaves, disappearing quickly. Singto looks at me with a raised eyebrow "Just to make it clear, I just opened my jumpsuit because you're extremely sexy now and the room has heated up out of nowhere" he whispers only to me to hear, "You're going to suffer tonight, Mr. BM", he laughs back and seeing that no one was looking into the workshop, he give a slap in my ass "I never wanted to be punished as much as today" and he passed by me to the tool trolleys we were pushing before that guy came in, "At least we know that here not everyone is perfect despite the rules...he lives here on the side, maybe if we approach without second thoughts he can give us some information" Singto looks excited and I don't like this whole excitement of him wanting friendship with this guy even though it's not a bad idea "It depends, only if every time you talk to him I'm close and no funny things, do you understand?" He answers me with a smile and I don't know if I want to hit him or kiss him, 'Argh!'. After a day of work with nothing suspicious other than this Em guy and an embarrassingly marvelous night, a new day came and with him work in the workshop, and like this two days had passed by and today in the middle of a repair of a car that was left on us early, a woman arrives by car, she appears to be a little older than us, perhaps in her 30s and asks for the repair of a constant noise in the car. As always and several times since our first day here we get glances at our bodies and we understand that maybe this is normal (no one with a ravish looking at you or drooling like a certain someone) and it didn't bother us or wasn't enough to suspect someone, they didn't broke the law just by looking "Good morning Singto!...and Night...good morning, Miss!" says Em as he walks by the shop like every day in an academy outfit that we find out he frequented. He always greeted with an enthusiastic tone Singto and sometimes forgot I was present and didn't even greet me, but today it was different, to realize that the girl answered him a good morning without looking at him but giving quick glances to Singto took all the excitement of his tone, he looked at Singto who was distracted looking at the motor of the girl's car and again looked at the owner of the car and for a moment I saw a totally different countenance of which Em showed every day, I saw quick coldness and anger and with a sadistic smile he crosses the corner and enters the gym. I wondered what was that at the moment but I didn't give much care, but later I couldn't ignore what happened when three weeks later the same girl is taken by the army by a denounce who accused her for being pregnant of two weeks.
