Winning the world and you

Greetings!

"I just wanted noodles, Jordan" He puts his goggles off to the side and half crawls onto my lap. I pat his head softly as he gets more depressed over his noodles. Oh hey, he said my name for once! Instead of 'woodpecker'. How did I get that nickname? Unimportant. Also, I look like a woodpecker apparently. "Are you also mad because I didn't make out with you?" I ask, probably knowing the answer.

He nods a little making a small 'mhm'. Jesus Christ, Damien. Why does he do this? Of course I don't think much of it because he's crazy. Also he's tried to make out with random people after he became a black-jacket so I'm nowhere near surprised. "If you promise not to ever bring it up again then sure". I feel my own face heat up.

Damien looks up at me, "wait, really?" He sits up on his knees.

"Sure, why not?" I shrug, smiling to the side. "Just never bring it up and it's fine". So basically, that one time a month ago, which never happened. Damien smiled preciously, crawling over me on his hands and knees. He then rested on his knees just over me.

He holds the side of my face, I put my hand over his and shut my eyes after Damien closes his. I felt his breath on my lips. I bite the inside of my lip to try and stay awake. We're under an inch away from a kiss when.

"Sure is chilly outside today, ey?"

~PAUL'S P.O.V~

"Sure is chilly outside today, ey?" I say while standing in the new doorway of the invention room. Jordan screams and slides out from under Damien and stands up. Before I could even look at his 'friend' he already had his goggles on. So the mystery continues.

"Paul?! How long have you been there?" Jordan screeched, the reddest of all the red boys in the red army. "I'm always here. Even when I'm not". His eye starts twitching.

"I just want you to know, that we were not- We're not".

I pat his face "No, shh, it's gay enough as it is". He makes small aggressive noises instead of natural human speech.

A random chair flung out of nowhere, I manage to dodge it and 'Zaptryk' who was just behind me stopped the chair mid air and let it drop. When glancing over we all see Damien holding up another chair, screaming angrily.

The sound of Zaptryk's static heating up made me realise we should leave before someone gets murdered. Probably Jordan. I spin around "We'd best be off" and grab Zaptryk's wrist, walking away. Both Zap and Damien were hissing at each other while I somehow struggled to pull him off the scene.

"'Tryk, c'mon, we should probably progress the plot already" He walks along by me. I let go of his wrist and drank from the iced coffee in my opposite hand. Why do I drink cold drinks in winter? Fuck, I dunno. Because I felt like an iced coffee? Maybe I'll die of hypothermia.

"So, can you still smell the guy trying to get in?" I ask, trying to put my hands in my hoodie. But realise I don't have a hoodie. Damnit, this happens way to much. "I do not smell anyone. Just burning. Like an electrical fire". He says, his eyes closed for some reason. "But if you're enquiring about the foreign intruder than yes, he is closer to the barrier with the device".

"Device, like a bomb?"

"More like a device that can affect an electrical force".

"That's why the sky looks like it's on fire?"

"Yes. An electrical fire".

It's quiet, we stop walking for a short time before he speaks up again "That was an electricity joke".

"Ah, ok" I respond, forcing myself to laugh a little. Was that a joke? Does he know what jokes are?

We kept walking, for a bit "So, are you a person? Or are you sort of... Possesing?" This is a question I wanted to ask but was worried how they'd react. "It's complicated..." They respond. Things go awkwardly quiet.

This is something I am not willing to do mentally. But to try and get across to the person possessing my 'friend' I need to... Make puns. Ugh "So, it 'hertz' to be hit with water?" I wink, finger gunning and dying inside.

"Yes, extremely. It feels like you're burning while bees try to escape your skin from the inside, bubbling, excruciating before everything goes dark" He explains, his voice going dark and morbid. "Good joke though" He said, his regular tone coming back.

Zaptryk has a weird glitch like shudder making a small noise like when you feel something weird kinda like 'dshsh' while gritting his teeth. "Jesus, what just happened?" I ask. He glances to the side, down the space between two buildings. A larger space than the one before. He just starts staring.

Not able to see what he's watching, I move forward. Then look to where he was glancing. The purple marks of the burning barrier swirled around a clear opening to the barrier as someone jumped through, focusing on fixing their red army jacket.

They had blonde spiked back hair, tanned skin, brown eyes, freckles and dimbles with the regular red army uniform and a backpack. From my dimmest memory I remember who this is. "Y-yuu?"

They hit the ground, looking at me. Their eyes going wide when they saw me. "Well, I certainly didn't expect a greeting from you" They say, pressing his fingertips together while smiling to the side. Little white flakes start to fall. Snow. Zaptryk collapsed behind me instantly.
