But It's Better If You Do

Honey, I'm Good (Part 1)

Last chapter's recap: "Sh, it's okay, you're fine it was just a dream." I said petting her head. She latched onto my side and clung on to me for dear life.

"I know what just happened was shitty, but please, Kurloz, please don't leave." She begged, her eyes tearing up.

"I got you." I said hugging her. I got her to lay back down and before I knew it she was asleep again.

____________________________________________________________________________________When I finally woke up I was on the sofa on top of Kurloz's back. I rubbed my eyes groggily and stretched. Kurloz was too focused on his game to notice that I was up so I leaned down and bit the opposite side of his neck; he dropped the controller and pinned me beneath him. Instead of him yelling at me, like I thought he was going to do, he kissed me and this time I kissed back with the same reassurance and slow urgency. He leaned his forehead against mine and grabbed my hand lacing his fingers in mine.

"Tell you what," I sighed. "If you still feel the same way after I get better then I might consider dating you." I blushed.

"You know you all up and motherfucking love me, but whatever, it's a deal." He smirked. He didn't let go of me until my stomach grumbled.

"I want pizza." I whined.

"You can't have pizza, docs orders." Kurloz protested.

"I can if I use a gluten free Nutella fruit pizza recipe." I smirked.

****

Fifteen minutes was all it took to make the dough, cut the fruit, and add the garnishing to the pizza that was currently in the oven. I was currently sat on the counter rubbing my eye tirelessly.

"My eyes hurts." I complained. Loz reached into the drawer next to me and pulled out some eye drops. I tilted my head back and tried my hardest not to blink as I squirted the drops in my eye.

"You just missed your whole fucking eye." Kurloz laughed.

"Shut up, my arms are shaky and these things freak me out." I groaned.

"Here, let me do it." He took the bottle from me and forced my eye open squeezing the drops in. I blinked rapidly and tried my hardest not to touch my eye.

"I'm good now, the stinging stopped." I said rolling the left over liquid around in my eye.

"Am I interrupting something?" Mikado asked stepping into the kitchen.

"No, Kurloz was just putting drops in my eye." I stated innocently.

"Is that why he's shirtless and has bite marks on his neck." She asked raising a brow.

"I ditched my shirt cuz she drooled on it." Kurloz scowled.

"And I bit him cuz I'm a sadistic little shit." I smiled warmly.

"A, how hard did you bite me?" Kurloz questioned running his fingers across the bruises on his neck.

"Here, use my phone case, it's a mirror." Mikado stated handing her phone to Kurloz.

"You that narcissistic, Mika?" Kurloz questioned.

"No, but from time to time I get bored and I like to shine light into the teacher's eyes and even blind fellow classmates." Mikado shrugged. Kurloz used the mirror to inspect the now reddish purple marks on his neck.

"Dude, she went straight Dark Shadows on your neck." Mika stated in awe.

"Aubergine!" Kurloz seethed. I simply smiled and made a heart shape with my hands.

" shit for brains, why don't you go put on a t-shirt or something?" Mika stated more than suggested.

"Shit for brains? I'll show you shit for brains- why the motherfuck are you here anyways?!" Kurloz yelled.

"Well even though I'm not doing a Halloween party this year I decided I'd still decorate the house and yard. Kanaya, Nep, Cro, Tuna, and Sol are coming to help set up decorations and audio and move furniture." I stated.

"Yeah, but why is it here?" Kurloz asked pulling on a hoodie.

"It is good at coming up with cool new ideas for haunted houses and effectively building them." Mikado glowered. Kurloz just stared at her.

"Don't motherfucking vex me woman." He stated coldly.

"I wanna get down now." I said childishly while holding my arms out like a toddler. Kurloz helped me down from the counter and I made my way over to Mika; I hugged her tightly then took a half step back.

"My son," I said placing my hand on her cheek. "You've come back home." I stated with mock sadness. While me and Mikado had a father son bonding moment Kurloz pulled the pizza out of the oven.

"Food's all up and ready sis, but its motherfucking hot so you should probably wait a bit." Kurloz called.

"Kay." I yelled completely ignoring his warning and picking up a fresh, hot slice of pizza; I blew on it gingerly before taking a huge bite.

"Mikado, come help me get the small decorations from the attic." Kurloz stated. Mikado groaned before pulling herself off the arm of the sofa and heading up stairs.

"I'll be right back, but you should probably switch to chair mode just in case." Kurloz added before trekking up the stairs. I switched over to my wheelchair and went back to finishing off my first slice of pizza; before I could take another bite the doorbell rang. I wheeled myself over to the door before opening it. In stepped Cronus with an ever-present smirk plastered on his face.

"I thought you vwere free of the chair." Cro questioned.

"I am, but Kurloz and Mikado are upstairs getting all the smaller Halloween decorations." I sighed.

"Vwait, so you're tellin' me he still hasn't found out about the surprise Hallowveen party?" He asked.

"How would he know? I'm an expert at surprises." I smiled.

"Yeah, vwell he can't say I ain't nevwer done nothin' nice for 'em." Cro shrugged.

Mikado came trudging down the stairs carrying a medium sized box of display decorations while Kurloz balanced three large boxes of outdoor decorations; they set the boxes down by the front door then joined me and Cro.

My phone buzzed and I pulled it from my pocket- it was a text from Nep.

AC: :33 < I'm purrently five mewintues away. Equius has decided to accompany me and has agreed to help out in any way purrossible ^.^

"Dude, we just got an extra set of hands." I mused.

"Nice, until then I guess we can go ahead and get started. A, me and you and start brain storming ideas for the outside decorations and Loz and Cro can go move in the creepy furniture." Mikado smirked. The boys started clearing out the living room while Mikado and I browsed the interweb for cool outdoor decorations.

"Okay, so I talked to Janey and she said she'd be willing to bake all the desserts for the party, Dirk and Dave made a Halloween playlist for you, John and Gam came up with some pretty good flicks- all that's left is for us to get his place spookified and find someone to cater the event." Mikado whispered.

"I found some appetizers I can make on my own, but I thought that this year would be a cool idea to let people bring their own favorite Halloween themed treats. I've been spreading the word like wildfire about the party so basically everyone in a five mile radius, except Loz, knows about it." I admitted.

"You're so devious- I love it." Mikado whispered. We went back to writing down our ideas and before I knew it the boys finished setting up the entire living room and dining room. With all the help, this place would be haunted house worthy in no time and I could give Kurloz the best Halloween surprise ever.
