Day Trip

"Come on! Let me go to the market with you. I'm going crazy being stashed away in here!" Thomas whined as Alex was organizing items in his backpack. 

"Not going to happen Thomas, the Flara have spies everywhere, in case you forgot. They have a bounty on your head so high they were willing to send not only one Cantorian, but two! What does that say to you?"  questioned Alex as he picked up a small bottle and put it tenderly into his bag. 

"It means you needed to train me so I could survive. I get it, but I was surviving before you showed me how to fight with a sword!" Thomas put his hand over Alex's bag trying to stop him from packing. "I have been stuck in here with nobody to talk to aside from you since I got here. I even killed you on accident! So much has happened, I need to find something, anything to blow off steam!" Thomas explained as Alex lifted his gaze to Thomas. 

"Look I get it, you want to go out and find somebody else to sleep with so you don't feel so pent up around me! All I'm saying is you're not ready to leave our hideaway. What happens if you get too excited while porking some poor guy that you blow a load of magic with your load and eviscerate him! That would be pretty traumatizing, not to mention you would burn all my contacts in the market!" Alex lifted Thomas's hand off the bag, moving a small loaf of bread into the bag making sure to keep it away from the bottle he had put down earlier.

Turning Alex around, Thomas pulled him away from the table. "Look, not everything in my world revolves around sex! I just want a change of scenery for a little while. All I've seen since I came here is you, me, and the packed in walls!" Alex nodded his head making him throw his hands up in frustration. "Look you can't just keep me locked in here, I need to get out too! It's been months, do you know what solitude does to a person-" He froze as Alex's eyes fell to the ground.

"I do... More than anyone I know what solitude does to a person. That's why I want to keep you here. I want to keep you safe..." Alex managed to mumble out as he continued looking at the ground. "I know you want to get out, but I can't risk losing you. Not since..." Alex fell silent, the whole room growing deathly quiet. "I may be a little dirty minded, maybe I like to pinch n prod every once in a while. But I have no intention of trying to force you into anything. I want to keep you safe. That's how love works..." 

Thomas let out a little gasp in surprise at his sudden deceleration. Looking at Alex with anxious eyes he spoke up, breaking the silence that had begun deafening the room. "What are you trying to say Alex..." 

"I don't know," Alex replied before pulling away to resume his packing for the journey. "Forget I said anything okay? I don't know what I was thinking." Thomas stood there watching as Alex began to quickly throw things into his bag. Tossing things in with little to no caution as he tried to hurry the process. "Look I don't know why I said that, don't read into it okay? I think I'm more stir-crazy then you." He closed the pack slinging it over his shoulder in a rush before starting towards a corridor. "Look if it means so much to you to get outside I'll make sure it happens this afternoon when I get back okay? Just be patient a little longer." Before Thomas could say another word, Alex sprinted off at an almost inhuman level of speed leaving Thomas standing there alone.  

Watching Alex sprint down the corridor Thomas let out a little sigh. "Crazy old man," He mumbled to himself before starting off towards the kitchen. Now that he's in a young body he thinks he can say and do whatever he wants with no repercussions... Stopping mid-stride, he felt his heart begin to beat faster, "love..." He echoed the word softly, mulling over the letters. How could he love me? He hardly even knows me. Maybe he didn't mean to say that? Maybe he just wanted to press my buttons and make me panic! He slowly resumed his pace heading towards the kitchen. "Well mission accomplished," He exclaimed to himself.
