Torment
Image had had it. His reflection had come home last night with his mouth covered in blood, bragging about how he pinned Eat-ler to the wall. He wasn't going to let that....*sigh* He couldn't stay angry after seeing Reflect so sick. Wait.....
That was it.
Image went up to Reflect, who was fishing in the pond. Putting a hand on his shoulder, he said softly, "Reflect, if I ask you to do something, will you do it, no matter what it is?"
Reflect turned and looked at him, seeming suspicious and searching his eyes a bit before responding, "YES. PLEASE, I CAN SEE YOU'RE PLANNING TO PUNISH ME FOR ACTING OUT. I ACCEPT YOUR JUDGEMENT ON THIS, IMAGE. I'M IN YOUR WORLD; I NEED TO LEARN HOW IT WORKS."
Image blushed a bit, "Reflect, I......now I don't feel like I can do that. I'm just upset that you decided to go ahead and fight with that maniac. He could hurt you; he could come here and hurt me, or Sephy. It's just not smart."
Reflect blushed as well, his cheeks turning a slight emerald green, "IMAGE. I WANT TO DO WHAT YOU WANT. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO CONFESS UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? AS MUCH AS I'M SURE SEPHY LOVES YOU, I LOVE YOU MORE. I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU, EVEN THE BAD THINGS, THE THINGS YOU'VE NEVER TOLD HER. AND I STILL LOVE YOU."
Image shook his head, "Please, Reflect, don't. It really hurts me to hear that because I just don't feel that way. I love Sephy. I don't even know you, really. I can't tell you how I feel about you yet. I need some time."
Reflect's blush deepened, "I UNDERSTAND.....I'LL TRY TO TONE IT DOWN, IF I CAN. IT'S JUST SO HARD, TO BE SO CLOSE AND NOT BE ANYTHING TO YOU."
Image responded as he motioned for Reflect to follow him, "Alright. Just come with me for now. I need you to do something."
Reflect followed obediently, walking behind Image at a respectful distance, his cheeks still aflame with heat and the green tint of his blood.
