F*cking cliché

'Cub focus!'
'Sorry, sorry it's just.. some of my stitches ripped open and these trainings just.. hurt,' I finally admit.
'You could've told me that sooner.'
'I don't want to be the black sheep Felix,' I mutter. 'You're not. Annoying yes but you're not that horrible.'
'Thanks.' 'Calum it's enough for today..  go home, I should've known it wasn't smart to train you with wounds.'

I don't know if he meant it in a mean way or a friendly way, but I decide to just go and not question it to much.

'

Surprisingly there wasn't a so called villain waiting for me today.. is it weird to say I got used to it?

I feel kind of bored now that there's nothing to do.. should I finally go grocery shopping? It's been a while and now I have the time so.. why not?

'

It was the most boring thing I've done so far.. really it's horrible.

'Are you enjoying yourself?'
'I started to wonder when you would show up,' I mumble not even looking at the guy and continuing my little shopping trip.
'So you're saying you missed me?'
'I'm just sayin' ye made me worry a bit. Ye get used to bein' stalked at one point,' I explain.

He turns me around.

'Do you?' 'Aye.' 'You're pulling my strings aren't you sweetheart?'
'What's wrong with speakin' like this?'
His lips curl up. 'Nothing Calum.'

'Since when are you this early done with work?' 'Since I spoke up.'

He puts his hands on my shoulders and quickly massages it.

'I'm proud of you darling.'
'I'm not your darlin' okay?' I reply.
'Whatever you want Calum.'

'So what if we.. go out on a little coffee date.' 'Ho.. hold up.. date?' I repeat.
'You heard me correctly.' 'Why?'
'We should get to know each other better.' He sounds genuine about that.
'You must have something better to offer than just coffee though.'

I feel how he pulls me back against his body.

'I don't have anything better to offer you,' he whispers in my ear while rocking me.

'Stop teasing me Levi.'
'Where did your accent go?'
'To the moon,' I mumble.
'Well go to the moon to get it back.'
'To please you? No.. no I don't think I will,' I state.

'I'm serious though,' he takes a hold of my hands, 'Have a cup of coffee with me.' 'Wh.. why would I?'
'Because you want to. Aren't you dying to know more about me?'
'I.. ugh fine! Let me finish this first though.' He smirks. 'Alright.. I'll pick you up.'

Date was just a word to trigger me right? He didn't actually mean a date date right?

'Levi.. why are you doing this?'
'Because I love toying with you sweetheart,' he explains and walks out of my sight.

'

I make tornadoes with my spoon in the cup of coffee in front of me to explain how my mind felt at this moment.. like a tornado.

'Calum,' snap, 'Calum.'

My gaze goes from the cup up towards the guy in front of me.

'I expected you to have numerous amount of questions. Why are you so uncomfortable?' He asks piercing into my skull with his perfectly coloured Jade eyes. 'I don't like it when people can listen in on a conversation.'
'Who would want to listen in on our conversation?'
'I don't know,' I mumble while I keep stirring my coffee.

'Calum,' he lays his hand on top of mine to make me stop, 'what's on your mind?'

Unable to answer my eyes keep looking at his hand on top of mine.

His other hand leads my face to meet his again.

'Don't be shy.. speak your mind.' 'What's there to say if your mind is disoriented?' I reply quietly.
'Calum,' a sigh leaves his lips as he squeezes my hand, 'my veins burn with hellfire and chaos, yet I'm holding out fine.'
'What?' I ask confused.
'You'll understand one day.. or I'll make you understand, we'll see.'
'Is that a threat?' I mumble.
'Could be.. who knows.'

He moves his hand away from mine even though I hoped it would've stayed there.

'Calum you're aware of the fact that you're going to be mine one day right?' He asks.

Out of shock I nearly choke on the sip of coffee I just took.

'Wh.. what?' I manage to reply.
'You know it could have possible endings.. my victim to slaughter, my prisoner locked up in the basement for ever, my right hand when you choose the right side or perhaps..'
'Oh right.. in those ways.. go it.'
'Or perhaps,' he repeats, 'My bitch.'
'Your what?'
'Admit it Calum.. you're kind of a slut,' he states with a crooked grin.
'I'm not!' His eyes stare into mine with a playful spark. 'Hmhm.'

I roll my eyes and continue drinking the cooled down liquid in front of me.

'You know Calum.. we've been here for a while.. yet we haven't asked each other questions. The point was to get to know each other better.'
'I learned that you're even a bigger asshole than I originally thought,' I murmur. 'Is that so? I considered myself to be rather.. normal today.'
'Yes, every new word that leaves your mouth proves it,' I explain.

'Give me your hand,' he demands.
'Why?' 'Don't hesitate.'

I groan as I give him my hand.

'Spread your fingers.'
'What the hell are you doing?' I ask.
'You know Calum,' he takes my index finger, 'I didn't really like that comment,' he says before squishing my finger to death.. well it feels like it anyway.

I bite on my lip as I try to keep the whimpers to myself.

'Calum?'

Levi lets go of my hands as my eyes turn to meet an old "friend".
