(BLU)
It's not exactly torture, but you never realized just how much you felt someone's presence near you until it was forced away from you.
Okay, force may be an exaggeration. We made a mistake, Mr.Akage imposed some punishments as is his rights because he is our guardian...but...
I miss the feel of Robin's skin touching mine.
Or just his nearness in general.
I realized it will be a difficult punishment that afternoon when Robin and I had to sit apart from each other while we were lounging in the living room with Mr.Gilbert, who now I think as our warden.
Or at least mine. I have a feeling Mr.Gilbert follows me...not Robin.
When I was in my room, writing some notes, Mr.Gilbert was in the laundry room, a hearing distance from my room...folding laundered clothes. When I was in the garden lanai, reading, Mr.Gilbert was in the garden as well...tending to his plants. And when I am in the living room, fiddling with my phone, Mr.Gilbert was also there...sewing some coats.
He is keeping an eye on me.
"Why me?" I finally asked Mr.Gilbert when I couldn't keep the curiosity at bay any longer. Mr.Gilbert's hands stopped making stitches to gaze up and look at my face. "What is it, Blu?"
"Why are you following me? Why keep a constant eye on me and not on Robin?" I asked.
Robin, upon hearing his name, looked away from his phone. "What is going on?" He asked in confusion.
I pointed at Mr.Gilbert. "He has been following me around the whole afternoon. Didn't you notice?"
Robin sighed. "Sorry, no. I was busy being miserable. I haven't kissed you in more than seven hours now but who the hell is counting, right?"
I groaned at what he said. "We haven't kissed for hours now because we agreed on the punishment Mr.Akage gave to us. But look here, Mr.Gilbert has been keeping an eye on me. I find it strange. Why guard me and not you?"
Robin frowned. "Why would he guard me, I was a good boy...?"
"You paid people to circulate a photo of you kissing my bestfriend!" I reminded Robin of what he did.
Robin nodded, "Yes. But I was also a victim of blackmail. I'm a victim..."
"I was a victim too!"
"Yeah...but you kinda brought the blackmailer into our midst. You brought a crazy person close to us, Blu."
My eyes widened at what he said. Robin winced. I growled at him. "She only acted crazy because your existence provoked her. And FYI, AnneMarie and I were fine until I came into this family. Everything goes disarray for her when I got here. Who took me here?"
"Uncle,"
"Zane,"
Mr.Gilbert and Robin replied at the same time. Just about them, Mr.Akage came into the living room while holding a cup. Mr.Akage frowned when he heard his name.
"What now?" He asked.
Robin grinned at his uncle. "Blu is basically blaming you for all these mess. You took him in and that resulted to his bestfriend coming close to us and now she blackmailed us. I think Blu has a point. This is all your fault, Uncle."
"In what convulated insane way have you twisted the whole thing into that?" Mr.Akage held his cup to Mr.Gilbert. "Coffee or I might murder the boys."
Mr.Gilbert sighed as he stood to take the cup. "You don't know anything. Murdering them? You haven't tried keeping an eye on them for hours. Try that and murdering them will be a form of kindness." He said before moving to the kitchen.
