Mendacity || KTH

13.

I was thinking all day about the Gretch's attitude, he was totally different of what I had thought he is , he is different I sense
that. He had such a caring and lovable personality, he was different from other Gretches. Obviously different from the one I know. And I was shocked by him opening up to me, well it wasn't very deep but everything starts with baby steps.

I was heading to his room to help him get to bed, he was almost finished, he still had to put on his shirt.

"I think your hand feels better by now", I walked closer to him,"Do you feel pain while using it?".

"I'd be lying if I said no, but it's endurable". He reached for his shirt but I noticed that its color was different from the pants color, which means that each part is from a different pyjama.

"Please wait your majesty", I opened the drawer to find the matching shirt.

"What is it?", he was confused.

"This shirt isn't for this pants", I explained.

He looked more confused,"What do you mean? Both  are tiny brown vertical stripes and a dark blue background".

"The shirt is not", I found the matching shirt and closed the drawer going his way.

"Shades ?", I nodded,"You girls are unbelievable". He shook his head right and left.

I was heading his way when I saw some kind of cricket moving to my hand, what did I do? I SCREAMED THE SHIT OUT OF ME!

I dropped the shirt on the ground and started screaming my lungs out , jumping in my own place and shaking, I extended my arm as much as I could to prevent the cricket from approaching my head quicker, I know it doesnt make sense, but it made back then. I hate crickets , and now? It was tickling me as it was moving on my hand. It was disgusting.

I didnt care for the existance of the Gretch as I started all of my act,actually I forgot his presence,my surroundings, my everything,  he was suddened by my voice at first but then came near me to figure out what drove me that crazy.

"What is it?", he looked at my frightened and semi sweating  face as he was looking for what's wrong with me till he saw the cricket. He looked back at me," This thing is terrifying you?",

I nodded,"Please take it off", I begged as it started climbing my hand towards my body which made me scream right in his ear,"Please".

I don't remeber what happened after that, I think after my historical act, I was totally out of energy, I screamed, shouted and jumped alot, I made alot of effort , god bless me. But I do remember that I felt something being flicked away from my hand, and no more tickles , I opened my eyes and found out that I was leaning into the Gretch's bare chest probably shielding myself from that little monster. MY HEAD WAS ON HIS CHEST.

I directly ducked back and he didn't look at me, I saw him holding a slipper and knocking the shit out of that cricket out.

I took a relaxed breathe as I felt safe, phew, too much screaming. The Gretch picked up the thrown shirt and wore it. Like nothing had happened.

"Relax",he said," You're afraid of crickets?", his question was definitely moking me, he took a pile of tissues ,held the cricket and tossed it in the ben,"Good?".

"Thanks your majesty ", I bowed at him I started realizing what I have done earlier which made me blush already, I just wanted to through myself out of the window, and then do it another time to make sure that am really dead.

He looked at me with a huge grin on his face, I knew he was going to mock me again," You're welcome Miss Cricket".

I knew that he was joking, which was a sweet side of him that I've never seen, but I wanted to somehow fireback, I don't know why did I start to irritate him back.

I looked at him with my pocker face,"You shouldn't mock my fear", both of his eyebrows went up shocked with my words,"everyone has their own fear".

"I don't ", he said confidently,"Im a Gretch and I don't have any kind of fear".

"Ofcourse you have", I objected," You're a Gretch, you're a human, so you have a fear and I already know it".

His eyebrows forrowed at my words,"Which is?", even though he wasn't agreeing with me at the beginning, I knew that he was convince when he questioned about it, he was pushing away the truth that he has a fear,he just didn't want to admit it.

"Betrayal", I spit out making him smirk,"You're afraid that someone would betray you, you're afraid to trust people and then having them stab your back, trashing their loyalty and faith".

"Isn't that expected from any Gretch?", he was massaging his damaged hand.

"Yours is a scruple, an incident happened to you which made you like this", I felt so confident talking like this, actually it was obvious that it's due what had happened between his father and Mehi's Gretch Hajoon .Iwas happy that he didn't mind at all, or that seemed so, maybe he'd throw me out of the window at any minute? Maybe he's just tolerating me because he's good?

"You're smarter than I thought Tini, actually you're right, about everything, it's just me denying that I have a fear, I just keep pushing on myself too hard for the sake of Sonyeondan", he sighed , I knew he was suffocated, he needed someone to listen to him.

"Even if you're the Grech, you shouldnt be perfect, the thought that you're doing all what you've got for the sake of you're people is more expensive than gold, you have to open up to someone your majesty, you can't suffocate yourself".

He was looking at the floor blankly, probably thinking of what I had already said and analysing stuff, I thought it would be the perfect time to leave.

"May I excuse myself?", he didn't look at me still gazing at the floor, I took that as an approval and a proof to my theory that he's deep in thoughts thinking about my words.

"Thank you", he looked at me , I stopped at the middle of the room shocked with his words,"I needed this".

I bowed happily hearing that come out of him,"Anytime your majesty".
