Shadows of the heart (MxMxMxMxM)

Chapter 9: Cute

Hhh, You'll understand the title soon.

---------------------------------------------------------

Groaning, I slowly sat up, Turning my attention to the shocked looking plant boy.

''How?'' He asked quietly, Staring down at my sweet little shadows in surprise.

I rubbed tiredly at my slightly itchy eyes, Mentally cursing my weakness to light.

''How what?'' I asked, Turning my attention over to my savior.

It was around this time that my tired and pain hazed brain remembered, Plant powers were considered 'good hero' powers.

Ahh hell.

''Did they- Are these yours?'' The kid asked, Sounding shocked as he stared at me in awe, His eyes a lovely icy blue.

''Yeah, Why?'' I asked, Drawing my knees to my chest so I could rest my arms on them.

The young and innocent looking blue eyed boy stared at me in shock, ''They listened to you?'' He asked, Amazed.

I backed away from the kid slightly, Uneasy with the amount of energy and awe coming off this kid.

Why do I keep calling him kid? He looks about as old as I am. . . 

The little strawberry blonde plant boy was kneeling right next to me by now, Staring at me with energy and. . .Awe. . .

Oh yeah, He doesn't look like he's been crushed by life. . . That's why 

''Of course they listen to me, Why wouldn't they?'' I asked, Propping my head up on my hand, My elbow resting on my knees.

I was surprised as his face turned bright pink, He looked away, Embarrassed.

''Mine don't listen to me. . .'' He muttered shyly under his breath.

Had I not been paying close attention to this interesting boy I would have missed what he said.

'Poor kid, . . .Lets leave before it gets awkward' Tene advised, Finally awake again.

Sighing, I shook my head before standing up.

''Maybe it was just a fluke'' I said, Trying to cheer up the embarrassed little plant boy.

I heard a sad little chuckle from him before he started to get up, Before he could get stand up fully I held my hand out.

He stared at me in surprise for a moment before giving me a small smile and accepting my offered hand.

I tugged him to his feet, Absently noting the shadows who had moved on their own to cushion the boy's fall were still in place.

''Thank you guys, You can return'' I whispered to the shadows, I could feel a weary feeling coming off of the little shadows as I reached out to them.

Sure enough, The sweet little things returned to their spots.

''No way, They listened to you. . .'' Plant boy whispered in awe, His eyes wide like saucers as he stared at the spot the shadows returned to.

He frowned before turning to the nearby potted fern, ''Uh, Come!'' He said nervously.

I arched a eyebrow as nothing happened, I was about to ask him what he was doing when one of the fern's leaves reached out, Slapping the kid in the face.

I covered my mouth quickly, Trying to not laugh as the blue eyed boy sulked at that, His shoulders slouching.

Now that I looked at him, He was as tall as I was, Meaning not that tall. . .

His skin was tanner than mine but than again that's not that high of a bar to reach seeing as I avoid the sun at all costs.

His strawberry blonde hair looked as soft as the fluffy white clouds above, It was just long enough to be able to reach the tips of his ears.

He had small facial features that accented his heart shaped face perfectly, Add onto his large child like icy blue eyes, In other words. . .he looked like a little angel.

Cute. . .

''Hey, Could you answer a question for me?'' The kid asked suddenly, Breaking me from my oddly doting thoughts.

I looked back over at him to see him rubbing at the cheek the plant had slapped.

''Why were you jumping from the building?'' He asked, Looking over at me, Curiosity and a bit of concern in his eyes.

Why is he concer- Ooooooooh

''It's not that reason'' I soothed, Sure enough the kid next to me relaxed slightly.

''Oh thank goodness, I have no clue what to do to stop someone from doing that. . .'' He said in one breath, Relaxing and leaning back against the nearby wall.

''Don't they teach you guys that in Hero school or whatever?'' I asked, Moving to lean back against the wall right next to him.

Even though he was a hero, I didn't feel too distrustful around him.

Must be because his powers seem more likely to work for me than him. . .

''I don't know, I just accidently became a hero yesterday'' He admitted, Tiredly rubbing at his eyes.

''Let me guess, Accidently used your powers in public, Someone saw and now you're a hero?'' I guessed.

His tired smile told me I was right, ''Yeah, I just wanted to be a normal person but. . . Looks like fate or whatever does not care about what I want. . .'' He said before his cheeks turned slightly pink.

''Sorry, That was a lot to just put on you randomly'' He said sheepishly.

A small smile formed on my face at that, ''It's alright, I've had worse things randomly dumped on me'' I said, Trying to cheer the kid up.

'That can be taken so many wrong ways.' Tene pointed out from inside my shirt still.

''Oh, I'm Ian by the way'' The plant boy said, Holding his hand out towards be briefly before his eyes widened.

''Oh shoot, Wait, You're a villain right? Was I supposed to use my hero name?'' He asked nervously, His eyes widening as I tried not to laugh.

''I-I mean I'm Blossom. . .'' He said, Holding his hand back out again.

Smiling, I accepted it, ''I'm BleedingShade, But you can call me Corbin'' I said, Shaking the smiling boy's hand.

Huh. . . Who thought a hero could be cute. . . 

Meh, You know what he doesn't count as one, He actually has morals. . .

'For now. . .' Eige warned through our bond, Having been listening in.

Right. . . For now. . .

------------------------------------------------------------------

 . . . I like Ian, He's a sweet idiot. . . Any guesses what the light hero is doing during this little peaceful interaction?

Anyways! Like always, Have a good day/night and find a better book! - fallen
