Normality

Thank you for being patient + considerate you guys. Sorry I didn’t post something along these lines week(+) ago xD

He played this song. Did he ever tell her that he could play guitar? OR sing?

Steph sat there, a smile never leaving her face. When he finished, she gave him a look. “You never told me you could sing.”

He gave a faint smile. “Did you like it..? It’s one of my favourite songs.”

Julius stared at her. Okay. So she might have a point. He had been hating this and himself a little lately. “Who are you?” he asked. A Good Samaritan wasn’t good enough. She knew a lot. It made him uneasy.

“Are you going to accept my help now?”

“Passion?” Julius gave her a look. “When was the last time you saw an Itself with Passion?” He asked. Was this her way of helping? If so he wasn’t having it. 

“Don’t brush this off, Julius. I get it. These are just words to you. But you have to trust me and listen to them.”

Julius narrowed his eyes a little. “How do you plan to help?” He asked, ignoring the lying question. She wasn’t. Nor did it matter. She couldn’t really make things much worse at this point.

“This bitch is going to fix all your problems.” She said it kindly, softly with a small smile. “My name’s Bailey. I’m not in your history; there’s no use checking. Hi, Julius.”

“…” Julius stared at the girl. He didn’t like this. “Hi.” He forced himself to say. “So, who are you?”

“I’ll be completely honest with you, I have no idea if I can completely fix something this big. But I know I can help, if you just let me try.” She stepped forward a little. “I know it’s hard to trust strangers, but, you have magic too. Look inside of me. Am I lying to you?”

David closed his eyes, leaning into Javier and taking the time and comfort to relax. He let a few tears fall from his eyes. The immediate pain was gone and all that was left was an uneasy soreness throughout his body. The confusion made his head hurt. Javier was older, but not angry. Everything around him didn’t exist before but it existed now. He could tell. “What’s going on?” He opened his eyes, finally taking in a bit of their surroundings.

David instantly latched onto his father when he felt the arms around him. He didn’t seem to be furious, or mad at all. It was a bit unnerving. Maybe he really didn’t know about Leon. Or something else was going on entirely. He relaxed a little, taking deeper breaths when he felt the pain slowly going away. Javier was helping him. “Y-yeah.” He stuttered, still holding onto his father. He was very confused, and still very sore.

Young David. But older David. Older than the memories of what they had looked like before the void. And the look on his face. He instantly moved towards him, but cautiously. If he didn’t know this was the future this might be a shock. He knelt down to his level. “Son, look at me.”

David stared blankly in front of him, arms wrapped around himself. He was shaking. Everything around him was different. It wasn’t what he remembered. How long had he been in there? It didn’t matter. It hurt. Everything hurt. Son, look at me. His dad. Javier. He was free? Or were they both in the void together? What the hell was this? He was scared. He was in pain, and scared, and the only thing he wanted was Salvic. He finally looked over to his dad, studying him. He looked older. A lot older. “D-dad?” He frowned, hugging himself tighter. Was he angry? He must be furious. Did he know about Leon?!

“Drinks.” Nox smiled, moving around the counter and over to Matt. “Orenda wanted us to meet since you’re her friend and I’m her friend. She wants us to bond or something like that. So I suggested drinks since I love drinking… and smoking… and sex. Apparently we have that in common. She also mentioned that you were pretty close to Temptation? I’d really like to meet him.” Nox smirked, sipping his drink lightly. “She also mentioned you get possessive. Or was it obsessive? Either way it’s important to her that we get along. And it’s important to me too, of course.” He paused, pointing to the drink in Matt’s hand. “You like?” He asked, smirking and biting his bottom lip.

Nox glanced down to the drink when Matt set it down before sighing and picking up his own drink; a purple, teal, and black layered mix with glowing spheres of blue ice and rainbow salt stuck to the rim. He took a sip, his eyes locking on Matt. “My name is Nox. I’m a friend of Orenda’s. Now drink before it dissolves. I want to know what you think.”

Nox. Orenda. Not a lot of people knew of Orenda. Especially by that name. He picked up his drink, taking a sip himself. He gave a small look of surprise. He definitely hadn’t been expecting that. He peered to the drink itself, savoring the taste, efore glancing towards Nox. “Late for what?”

“No. No. Drinks first. Then we can chat.” Nox handed him a glass of a colorful glowing liquid that gave off a lemony scent. There was a lemon wedge on the rim of the glass and the edge was dipped in salt. 

“Drinks second. Who are you?”
