GERALT'S P.O.V.

It's been few hours now and he is still here. Fool doesn't give up soon. Geralt and Jaskier were on the road for a while now. Jaskier had stories for each and everything he saw. He made it up or it was actually the truth couldn't be known. The man was a walking joke.

"And that is how I knew that I could never stand the smell of coconut oil. Every--"

"You have been continuously speaking since the alehouse. I kindly ask you to shut up!!" Geralt said he glared at Jaskier who was rolling his eyes. Everybody likes coconut oil. I have never seen anybody like him. Do speaking a lot kills people? I don't think so as he is present.

"I can never not speak. It's a gift. This is how I cope up with loneliness. I've been alone way too long and I believe you have been too, even more than me. That explains your lack of social skills." Jaskier said as they walked. My lack of what? I don't make unnecessary conversation with people because It's my choice. Not that I don't know how.

"I talk to Roach." Horses are better than people.

"I haven't seen you having chat with Roach" Jaskier chuckled. Trying to mock me huh!

"Because you have been continuously speaking for far too long!! Now shut up or I throw you in that pit over there." Geralt pointed at the pit. I bet I could set him up there with one swing of my arm.

"Alright I will, lord!" Jaskier stoped talking. I have a vile feeling that he won't shut up actually. What is happening? Why can't I just get rid of him? The deal! Yes! I've started to reconsider it. He will get killed. Why can't I stop thinking about what he might say or do? Is this what having a companion feels like? I'll pass!! Wait..... What is that annoying sound! He is really humming? Such an odd fellow.

Geralt glared at him with death stare. "Oh come on I can't even hum?" Jaskier rolled his eyes and sighed.

"No!" Geralt said as he took a sip from his bottle. This is so exhausting

"What's that?" Jaskier questioned. Oh bullocks! Wasn't suppose to drink it infront of him. Hell! What's he going to do?

"Ale" Geralt said without making eye contact. Now he won't stop talking I am certain.

"When I said I was thirsty why didn't you give me some ale?" Jaskier stopped walking. He should watch his tone. He has no claim over my ale, my horse or me. Who does he think he is?

"Because it is my ale besides you needed water which you had!" Geralt continued walking. He quenched his thirst with water a while ago. Why does he need my ale? It's mine. I don't understand his claim.

"Alright! Can I have some?" Jaskier stood in front of Geralt. Polite but scornful tone.

"No!" Geralt replied as he was blocked by Jaskier. Blocking my way huh! How intimidating!

"Oh why not" Jaskier questioned. He crossed his arms. If I throw him in that pit no one will know.

"As I said earlier, it's mine. That is why. Now move!" Geralt pushed Jaskier and walked. He could see that look in Jaskier's face. The childish face. When things don't go his way, he gives that look. It's hilarious.

"This is so silly! Give me some ale Geralt!" Jaskier started snatching the bottle from Geralt. What is this fool doing? He knows I can hurt him right? So stupid.

"Aye don't be stupid. My one hand can leave you unconscious! You will hurt yourself" Geralt did not want to hurt Jaskier but having a strength like Geralt could hurt the poor little bard without the intention. I don't actually want to hurt him. He is being obnoxious.

"Don't threaten me. It is a common courtesy to provide ale to the fellow companion." Jaskier struggled to snatch the bottle. Common courtesy where? Maybe in the court! This is no court. This is the countryside where everything is cutthroat and raw.

"You leave me no choice." Geralt pushed Jaskier but Jaskier attacked his knees which made Geralt fall. Jaskier also fell on top of Geralt. Jaskier was now up close with Geralt. Lips barely touching. Geralt saw Jaskier's oceanic blue eyes sparkling. He felt some kind of familiarity, care and .......LOVE. Grealt's face turned white. Can this really be him? No no no! Jaskier's face was red. Geralt's pants felt tight. He saw the embarrassment in Geralt's eyes. This cannot be actually happening. Kill me now.

Geralt pushed Jaskier and got up. He was very embarrassed to even look at Jaskier. Jaskier sat on the ground and looked at Geralt who was dusting his clothes. I always ruin it! What's wrong with me! He slowly got up and could not make eye contact after that. I wanted to get rid of him so bad. Finally I have it. Geralt was beyond shameful. These sort of things suits Jaskier. He couldn't believe he let his guard down. Thinking it was........ HIS DESTINY.

The bottle was on the ground with ale coming out of it which made Geralt pissed. I need to stay away from this man. He is changing me. He is not my destiny. No he can't be.

"YOU NEVER STOP TALKING AND NOW YOU TAKE MY ALE AND THROW IT ON THE GROUND. I COULD HAVE REACHED MY DESTINATION AGES AGO YOU ARE A DRAG!! I SHOULD NEVER HAVE SAVED YOU!" Geralt shouted at Jaskier and left. The bard just stood there and looked at the Witcher leaving.

He saved me too. It's not the bard's fault but my own. It's for the best. I don't want to cross paths with him ever again. Geralt got on top of his horse and rode into the sunset.
