A Psycho Love

Chapter 13: Just "Friends"

(Art by me!!! But I just used a base for this :D I know... It's horrible... Right? ._.)

*Dust's POV*

  "Thank you..." I heard her say.

"Heh... No prob... 'friend'..." I said with a wink. I noticed that she blushed a little. Heh... Cute... NO STOP IT!!! She's only your FRIEND! Not a lover!

I let go of the hug and went to go get another bottle of beer that was under the counter. "Want some?" I asked her.

"Hell yeah!" She exclaimed and swiped the bottle from my hand and popped it open.

I nearly giggled at her behavior, but I just held it in. To be honest, it was quite funny how a woman that likes taking care of her house like a house-wife, can act so differently when she's outside. Mmmm~ maybe she can be MY house-wi-- NO! STOP IT! SHUT THE FUCK UP DUST! SHE IS ONLY YOUR FRIEND!!!

"Hey! You ok?" She said making me snap out of my thoughts. "Oh umm, yeah! Hehe... Just... Thinking" I replied to her, making a small nervous laugh.

We sat down on the counter and I grabbed two shot glasses. I poured some beer into them and gave one shot glass to Lust.

"To new friends?" I said as I raised my glass.

"To new friends" she said as well, as she also raised her glass.

"Cheers!" We both cheered in unison as we clanked our glasses together, and drank them.

I noticed her gulping down her glass, while I was just watching her. I soon went deep in thought.

I felt that fluttery feeling again swelling in my stomach, into my chest. I don't know why...

"Umm... Hello? Heeellloooo! Dust? Multiverse to Dust! Dude! Snap out of it!" I suddenly heard Lust spoke as she snapped her boney fingers in front of me.

I immediately snapped out of my trance and went back to reality. "H-huh? What?... Oh! Heh... I was just... Lost in thought... Again" I reasoned out, nervously.

"Umm... Ooook...? But can you please stop staring at me like a creep. It kinda makes me uncomfortable..." She said while a faint blush spread across her cheek bones. I noticed her trying to, what seems like, covering herself even though she had clothes on.

Great... Way to go Dust! Now you look like a creep! I mentally facepalmed myself and quickly thought of another reason.

"Oh! Sorry. It's just that... I... Usually stare at different places, and sometimes at people's face, when I'm thinking" I reasoned out again. "But don't worry. I'm not going to do anything to you. We ARE friends after all" I then gave her a reassuring smile.

She gave me back another warm smile.

The smile that I'd like to keep always in my memory. The smile that I'd want to see everyday. But I knew it wouldn't happen. Who would want to fall in love with a killer?

Then it went silent. As I started to drift back into thought land.

*Lust's POV*

  The atmosphere went awkwardly silent and slightly uncomfortable again, as I continued on drinking some more beer.

It suddenly went very cold in the bar. No one except for me and Dust. I never liked this feeling... This cold, empty feeling...

I then noticed that Dust seems... Unusually... Uncomfortable... It makes me feel... Sad...? Why? I can feel this unusual fluttery feeling again... Why? I don't know why I feel this way when I am around him... But... I feel... Happy.
