The Savior's Truth

~ Chapter 3 ~

"Oh crap."

Galaxy would gasp.

"You're right..! So what's our plan? Should we wake him up..?" He'd ask Rainbow. Rainbow would put his left hand around his chin in a thinking position. 

The last thing I wanted was for them to see my eyes. Even though I know old, elderly people can't control who I am or what I wear, maybe they were doing it for a good reason. I'd seen my eyes before - they were just green. I don't know what's so special about them being green, but I guess the elderly were just trying to - I don't know, protect me? From what, I'll never know myself, though.

"Will I..?"

"Uh-- We'll just leave him. He had a pretty rough night last night, plus the fact that he hit his head. We'll just have to wait until he wakes up..!" He'd reply. Galaxy would nod his head a sit down in the chair, continuing a part of a page from the same book he had been reading the day before. Rainbow would go downstairs.

Erk-Erk-Erk-Erk-Erk-Erk.

"Mmm.." I'd moan, pretending the sound of the stairs had woken me up. Galaxy would gasp, and, Rainbow must have heard - they'd both run up to my side of the bed. I'd fake a yawn to convince them I had just woken up - I didn't want them knowing I had heard the conversation they had.

"'Morning, Sabre!" Rainbow would cheer.

"Mmm-Morning.." I'd say with a drowsy voice, opening up one eye. He'd be smiling at me and I'd smile back. I like it when Rainbow smiles - it reminds me of when we had the Rainbow Town still. Every morning I'd wake up to a smile from Rainbow.

"He sure seems happy..." I'd think."No. I bet he's just smiling because he has to break the news to me that he wants to see my eyes."

I'd feel a hand pat me on the back. I'd turn my head over and see galaxy-covered fabric.

"I think Galaxy wants to ask something of you." Rainbow would say. I'd turn over onto my back and look down at my feet at the end of the bed, where Galaxy had been sitting.

"Yeah." He'd admit. "Sabre, can--"

"But first," Rainbow would interrupt Galaxy. "Some breakfast, perhaps?" He'd ask me. I'd nod unhesitantly - I was really hungry. I also wanted to delay the amount of time until they'd actually ask me the question. 

*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

I was dreading up to the moment they'd ask me.

"Sabre?" Galaxy would ask me, putting his fork down and over the egg he'd been eating. Boy, do I love eggs and ketchup. Especially when Rainbow makes it.

"Yeah? What's on your mind?" I'd ask, but I'd know exactly what.

"It is possible that--maybe--"

"Yeah..?" I'd giggle a little, although I could feel my face getting hot - I was anxious. Galaxy likes asking question slowly and with hesitation - he doesn't want to be rude asking someone to do something just-- blankly.

"We could-- y'know.." He'd continue.

"Mhm..?" 

"Dude-- Galaxy, just say it." I'd here Rainbow whisper to him. Galaxy would close his eyes, suddenly opening his mouth to shout,

"Can we see your eyes!?"

...

He'd open one of his eyes slowly, to peak at my expression. My face was dripping with sweat by then - I didn't know what to tell them.
