WRITER'S BLOCK O.O

Hiya people :D Here I am with another chapter! Don't hit me because it's so late T.T School's a bitch, that is. Yeah, so is baby sitting and working parttime at a snackbar -.-

ANYWAYS.

Q: PLF94: Yes. Omg. It's so hard to find good stories for this show. I really like it. Though, I was wondering. Is this after or before the Oban race? Or is it not even going to be in the story?

A: Yay, you like my story :D Thank you! The answer to your question is: It's not going to be in the story. I labelled it AU, which means Alternate Universe -meaning this is an entirely different plot. There will be no racing and evil-bird-man ^^

Chapter 7

“Aikka actually took you somewhere? On a date?!” Aileen squealed while the maids glared at her for moving. Eva blushed furiously. “No! Not a date! He just wanted to show me some more of the planet!”

“Show you some, huh.”

“AILEEN!”

Aileen giggled uncontrollably for a while, Eva just glaring at her and demanding her to stop. So she did eventually, and waved at Eva for extra effect. “You two should get married; it’ll be a nice addition! And LOT’S of human BABIES!”

“YOU’RE DISGUSTING!” Eva shrieked embarrassedly, throwing the first object she could get in her hands to her. It happened to be – thankfully – a pillow. It did – unfortunately – mess up Aileen’s hair. The maids scowled at her when they re-did it and Aileen scrunched her nose amused, letting her hair be abused.

“But what did you two do then? Shop?” She asked, more serious and interested. Eva sighed and sat down on the couch behind her, receiving the pillow back to her head. Though she caught it with ease, not being tied down by maids.

“No… First he suggested we should go to the capital but I told him I rather see something I didn’t see before.” This made Aileen giggle again. “I mean like sight-seeing idiot!”

“I’m sorry, go on.”

“Eventually he took me to this huge castle with enormous grounds attached to it. It was so beautiful! I don’t remember the name, it was long… Something with a J. After that he took me to this tiny restaurant which actually served some food I recognized. Can you believe it, Aikka was so nice! And-”

“Eva.” Aileen suddenly interrupted her, looking at her with slightly widened eyes. Eva stopped her rant and looked back at her, confused.

“You’re falling in love with him, aren’t you?”

Eva blushed furiously again, hating how Aileen made her do that. What made her think she was falling in love with Aikka?

“Why would you think that?” She asked her, embarrassed and confused. Aileen smiled at her and shrugged. “You remind me of when I met Shawn.”

“…Really?”

Aileen nodded and snapped her head annoyed when a maid pricked her leg with a needle instead of her dress. The maid apologized and Aileen looked back at Eva again, fidgeting with her white dress a little.

“At least you don’t need to be careful. Well, maybe a little.” Aileen said distracted. “Huh, why?” Eva replied quietly and Aileen shrugged before smiling. “Aikka’s not in line for king. Shawn is. But if Shawn would die before I have his child Aikka would be. Thus it’s not that easy to start a relationship with him.”

Gah! What made her believe that Eva actually wanted a relationship with him? True, she just admitted she might have some more feelings for him, but Aileen was simply thinking too far! The look on her face said the same and Aileen smiled brightly again. “Oh well, we’ll forget about it today. It’s my day, not yours!” She said while sticking out her tongue and Eva chuckled.

After a while even Eva got nervous from Aileen. “Aileen, stop fidgeting!” Eva said sternly, pushing Aileen’s arms back.

Aileen groaned. “Tell them to stop annoying me!” She replied, nodding her head to the maids that were fixing some things on the dress. Eva chuckled. “They’re only making you prettier, princess.”

“OH GOD!” Aileen shrieked. “I’m going to marry! I’m going to marry!” She said that a few more times and Eva complemented whether to slap her or not.

“Eva! I’m finally going to marry the love of my life!” Ugh, cliché. Nonetheless, Eva smiled happily for her friend. She was only a year older than Eva, and Eva herself couldn’t imagine getting engaged already. Or getting married, for that part. She would throw up from the nerves, and silently wondered if Aileen might pass out.

The maids finished fixing her dress and left her alone for a few minutes. Eva would have to follow Aileen and look happy and all that until she reached the altar and she could stand in the line. Her brother whom Eva just met – he seemed nice – entered the room to give Aileen away. It really did seem pretty normal, similar to most weddings back on Earth. Eva had been afraid Aileen’s day might’ve been ruined when her parents didn’t show up, but Aileen waved it away and told her she was happy all the others could make it. Still, Eva knew she was unhappy with that. But she couldn’t possibly be unhappy on this day. After all, she had been complaining that the wedding was too far away. And now, it was right in front of her nose!

Eva felt slightly intimidated when the music started and Aileen and her brother Damian walked out of the room, Eva following them. The church-like room in the palace was huge and there were a lot of people.

After the whole wedding, there was a party, like always. Eva earlier encouraged Aileen to smash cake in Shawn’s face, which she did, and it resulted into a minor food fight between the younger, except for Aikka and Aileen’s brother, until the King pushed it’s halt with only an angry ‘stop it’.

So yes, it was pretty normal. However, Eva made a bet with Aileen. She wanted to see who could chug the most alcohol down until they’d passed out. Fortunately, Nealon and Aikka – Shawn was pretty tipsy himself – found them chugging it down and removed any more alcohol in their reach.

They were both unfortunately already drunk. And one might’ve been the most, because humans simply cannot take as much alcohol as Nourasions. They had been right to steal it away from them, for Eva would’ve certainly died of alcohol poisoning or passed out from the amount that was still around them by the time they were discovered.

Aikka sighed annoyed and caught the stumbling human girl right before she fell down on the ground, face first. Aikka refrained from drinking too much and Nealon was simply not old enough. Even though his mother was worried first about Eva, Aileen told her that on her planet she was old enough.

He doubted it.

“Stars! Pretty, pretty stars!” Eva said, giggling and clinging onto Aikka. He raised an eyebrow.

“I’m sure they are.” Came his idiotic reply before he tried to straighten her. Once he did, Eva threw her arms around him again.

“Oh Aikka!” She said sweetly. “Isn’t it such a beeeeaaautiful day! Your brother got married! What do you say, should we get married to?” He nearly gulped at that one before remembering she was behind normal senses.

“We’d all be one –hic– HAPPY, family!” Another series of giggles followed and he stood there awkwardly. He wondered if he should seat on her on a chair away from the alcohol until the party was over, but if she passed out or threw up it might be a problem. That settles it, he thought, while she leaned onto him more. He’d just have to excuse her from the party and bring her to the room. Aileen looked at him giddily and nodded happily when he indicated to Eva. At least Aileen wouldn’t be angry at him.

“Oooooh where’re we going?” Eva slurred. “I wanna party!” She said with a very weak push against his him. He looked at her mildly irritated, stopped, and slung her right over his shoulder. Eva shrieked before making a noise and laughing happily.

“I can see the party!” She sang out. Aikka tried to ignore her the best he could.

“You have a nice ass!”

That really sucked up him trying to ignore her. However, he could ignore the embarrassing blush on his face and didn’t reply. Thankfully Eva refrained from any more drastic physical attention.

“Aiikkkaa… I don’t wanna go to bed!” She ranted on. “I’m not a baby!” Should he reply? Was it really best to just ignore her and drop her in her room? “Be silent.” He told her irritated and Eva whistled.

“Aikkaaa is angry.” Eva pointed out, obviously. “No I’m not.” This must’ve lit her face in her state and he sighed again. “Not?” She asked again and he gave no reply. “Aikkaa, wanna sleep with me tonight?”

He almost froze – almost.

“What?” He asked quietly and Eva laughed delighted. “It’s cold at night! And that spider keeps returning… creeeepy.”

Phew, she didn’t mean sleeping like that. Maybe the hormones were finally kicking in his mind. He scrunched his nose and made a face at that thought.

He fastened his pace a little and thankfully arrived to her room quickly. Opening the door with one hand, he made sure Eva wouldn’t bump her head into a wall or the door post and carefully walked over to her bed, lying her down on it. She looked at him through half lidded eyes and smiled brightly.

“Can I kiss you?”

“No.”

“Why not?” She asked, pouting at his usual stoic behaviour. He looked at her as if it was the most obvious thing in the world and she didn’t bother to wait for a reply.

“I always wonder how it would be like to kiss you.” She thought aloud before she hiccupped. “I think you’d be a great kisser!” She ended and Aikka shook his head at her behaviour. It was getting pretty bad. He should remind the rest not to give her any more alcohol in the remaining four months she would be here.

“Imagine how our babies would look like. Pretty messed up!” He certainly didn’t want to imagine how their babies would look like. Although… they wouldn’t be that messed up. I mean, now she said that he did wonder what kind of baby would come out of a relationship with him and Eva. No, not him and Eva! Just a Nourasion and a human. But this was not really the time to think about that.

Suddenly she got really red and Aikka frowned at her, leaning in closer. She pursed her mouth to a thin line and her eyebrows furrowed before she made a face. “I…”

He waited.

“I need to throw up.”

Dear lord.

He grabbed her by the arm and roughly pulled her arm, not too rough, before she squirmed out of his grip and made a beeline for her bathroom. Aikka followed her quietly and sat down next to her as she emptied her stomach in her toilet, holding some of her hair, hair accessories and scarf out of the way.

By the time she was finished Aikka wondered if she would need new food, it seemed she threw up three days worth.

She moaned. “I feel horrible.” She murmured and Aikka only smirked lightly, knowing that would be obvious. He stood up, ignoring the disgusting smell and grabbed a wet cloth when she flushed to toilet several times, before walking back and cleaning her face with it. She blinked and made a funny noise in her stomach when he threw that cloth in the sink and pulled out another one to put on her head.

“How come you’re so sweet all of the sudden?” She whispered at him and he pondered if it was the alcohol or Eva asking that. So, he chose to ignore the question.

She poked him. “I asked you something.”

Definitely Eva. Maybe the alcohol decided to give her a private moment. Aikka smirked at her and brushed some of her bangs out of her face, startling her a little. She looked up at him with watery and dazed eyes, blinking a few times to get a clearer sight.

“I felt like it.” He answered coolly and she made a face before he rubbed her nose playfully with the cloth. “That’s not an answer! I’ll tell you something if you tell me!”

That seemed too good to pass by – in her thoughts then. Aikka shrugged disinterested before remembering she’ll probably forget it anyway in the morning.

“If I tell you, will you go to sleep?”

“Okiedokie!” Eva said, holding up her hand to prove her statement and Aikka looked at it before settling his glance on her.

“I was told too.” He said and didn’t miss the hurt look on her face. Drunk or not drunk, it’s not the best answer to give. He smiled carefully, brushing the bangs that fell into her sight away again.

“But along the way I decided that you’re more then worth it.” He said softly and she blinked again, her hurt look washed away by confusion.

“You mean… you like me?” She asked, sounding a bit amazed. He mentally groaned, he wouldn’t take it that far, but instead nodded anyway. She smiled brightly through her daze and moved pretty fast for his liking, when he suddenly felt her arms wrapped around his chest and her head pressed against the crook of his shoulder and neck. “I like you too.” She cooed and Aikka waited for her to let go.

She didn’t do anything, so he called out her name softly. She didn’t respond. Aikka glared softly when he noticed she had fallen asleep.

Great.
