River's Time to Thrive

Chapter 8 part 1

"She isn't here now...so you can leave. Now!" "Oh my. What's this? Looks like someone else likes Ms River." Fynn said with a smirk. I grabbed the front part of his shirt and made a fist.

"Just get out, you don't belong here." "I heard River has cut you open and has almost killed you? Beaten by a girl. How do-." I didn't even realize that my fist was covered in blood. 'Shit, what did I just do.'

I stood there staring at Fynn with a faceless expression. Blood dripped down from Fynn's nose and bottom lip. "You little son of a bitch. I will get you back, Storm." Fynn got close to my face. "Don't you forget it." He said with an angry/pissed off tone. He turned around and left while wiping the blood off of his nose and mouth.

(River's POV)

'I think I still have a couple patches of blood left on my leg, so sticky.' I turned down an alley way and headed straight home. Until I ran into someone.

"Ugh watch it." They said with a bloody nose and lip. "Sorry, are you alright sir?" They looked up and saw me, I saw a quick glimpse of him and realized that it's Fynn. "Fynn, what happened?! Are you alright?" I looked at his lip and the dried blood on his nose.

"S-Something happened at the building." "Like?" "Well, Storm sorta punched me in the face, eh heh heh." "Storm did this to you? I'm gonna show him not to hur-." Fynn grabbed my wrist.

"Don't leave me." He said with a sad look on his face. He held his lip wincing. ~sigh~ "Alright, your lucky I always keep bandages and tissues with me." "Thanks Riv! Your the best!" He forgot about his lip and hugged me tightly.

"I can't help you when you have me in a bear hug Fynn." "O-Oh Sorry." He stepped back and bent down a little so I could reach his face a bit better.

I pulled out a tissue. "Lick it." "Why do I need to lick a tissue?" "So I can get the dried blood off your nose you doofus." "Oh." He licked the tissue and I rubbed the dried blood off of his nose.

"OW! Don't rub so hard!" "Sorry! You won't hold still!" I got the rest of the blood off and grabbed a new tissue. I made him lick the second tissue.

I gently tapped his lip getting most of the blood off. I could feel him wince every time I touched his lip. "Ow. Stop it!" "Stop being a crybaby I barley even touched your lip!" "Riv it hurts! Please, stop it!"

Fynn grabbed my wrist, the one I was using to help his lip. "...Your a crybaby. I barely touched your lip." I said with a small pout. "Stop your pouting, it really did hurt Riv!" He released my wrist and started to walk away. "H-Hey! You don't just leave in mid conversation!!" I ran and grabbed his shoulder which made him whirl around.

"Geez, you sure do have a strong grip..." "I sorta need that strong grip sir." "Don't call me sir, that sounds to formal." "Ok bucket." I turned and ran.

'Ha! Now he won't know what to do about that!' He grabbed my wrist again before I could get any farther. "Hey, I thought u said not to leave in mid conversation."

'Curse my words!' "Also, out of all the nicknames...Why bucket?" "Well...I wanted to call you a stupid nickname so I chose bucket." I could feel the warmth of my cheeks. "A-anyway I have some business to take care of."

I shook off his grip and turned. "What business?" Fynn said as he ran in front of me stopping me from walking. "You said Storm hurt you." "Didn't you hurt him a lot worse a couple of months ago?" "Well, yeah but I didn't mean to do that." I pushed him aside. "I should at least tell Storm not to mess with you." He ran in front of me again. "Riv you don't have to do that."

"I should, and I will."
