Like A Gurl

Lee: Kai

Gotta get moving

I can’t be still for two long

I got myself drunk last night out of jealousy, I can still feel the headache in the back of my mind I’ve been trying to to ignore

Of course I’m hung over during the first trial

I was asking for it after she did that to me, after she made me fall to my knees

To think I’d knell to a slummer, yet I still did and I regret none of it

I’d do it again

I hate myself for falling, for caring, for wanting it

Why did Kitt have to tickle me in front of everyone?

I’ve been running through the Whispers for a while now, I’ve been here countless of times with Father, yet at least then if was only one person to watch me struggle. Now there’s many knowing exactly how to get to me

I’m socked Father hasn’t found out yet

I’m so shocked I let out a humorous chuckle to pile of leaves as I walk, dagger clipped to my belt I so graciously found in a tree earlier, yet it wouldn’t be much use when I can’t seem to sense anyone around me

I haven’t been able to sense anyone yet, either because some outside force or distance

Or everyone I’ve ever met just happened to be an Ordinary

How ironic would that be

I couldn’t even sense her. Yet that was just her Physic ability, she was more then the legends, she was as legendary as much as the myths, deadly as the dares, broken enough to be brave

I’m such a hopeless romantic

Just then I saw a small glint pressed into a side of a truck, burried in a way. With a glance to the surroundings I memorized little I kneeled, the thin pants I’m wearing brushed with dirt

Dirt planted itself under my fingertips, dead grass grew its way around me, parting as I kneeled, shini-

Blooms

A vine wrapped its way around my ankle, slipping under my thin pants I found myself in last night, honestly they could still be the clothes I was wearing yesterday at the ball, the clothes she tickled me senseless in and yet I still yearned for me

Focus Kai

Just reach for your dagger and-

Plagues

That stupid vine slipped my dagger out of my belt without me even realizing, it sat just out of reach in that pile of leaves. Glinting in the light, taunting me with temptation

I used the branches that graciously placed themselves around the base of the stump to help myself rise. Yet even while standing I couldn’t walk far, I had to sit and wait, wait for help or some other form of grace

How did I get myself into this?

A crack

A sight, they must be showing this back to everyone, showing everyone my struggles. Their placed all over this forest, all I had to do was survive three days and I could barely do that

Father’s probably laughing at my expense

Kitt’s probably praying for me

Jax

I could sense him close, close enough to latch on, close enough to set myself free. I latched onto that power I could feel running through my soul, used it and-

I squeaked. A poke to the side stopped me, startled me, rendered me powerless long enough for me to let that mask drop, show a smile at the ground, pray that sight already walked off

What the hell

I glanced over, one of those stupid vines, it wasn’t there a moment ago, meaning it had to have been set here long before this trail, meaning it had to be planted by someone who would know about the Enforcer’s weakness

But who?

No one other then a few know, and before these trials only one knew, and that person was Kitt, I mean I knew about his too, we knew everything about one another, I knew enough to know he wouldn’t tell a soul. Especially knowing it’d be implanted into a trail

I crossed my arms, leaning against that tree behind me, that vine curling around my leg, that poking behind my knee made me tense, made me hate the very weakness I crave

I took quick, deep breaths, distracting myself from the tension in my leg and the many eyes probably seeing all of this. I hated that I wanted this in a way, hated that I was getting it in the scenario, hated that it wasn’t her that made me put a hand over my mouth to keep myself from laughing like a child

She’s deadly but I need her to get out of here

Then again she’s deadly for a reason, she might just stare as I suffer. Yet she’d laugh along with me, and her smile lights up my days even if it’s at my pride

I almost lost it then and there, almost snorted again, almost broke into those utterly embarrassing laughs. All because of that vine slipping under the tank top I’m wearing

Get away from me

I looked up at the sky that was mostly just treetops, resting my head back against the log, black waves falling over my brow, flipping off nothing and anyone in particular as a groan slipped past my lips

I’m gonna be here a while

Cover your mouth

Yep doing that alright

That dumb vine found its way poking at my hips, found its way to make me bust into these tiny breathy giggles I desperately prayed weren’t loud enough to be heard or picked up from the sight

Right, she’s still watching. Which makes me think she’s new to this. No trained sight would stay in one place for too long

Wonder how that slipped past Father’s eyes

Then again this stupid weakness slipped past as well

Not anymore

I snorted into my hands, letting my back slide down that log, sitting in that path of dirt I dug up, I didn’t care what I looked like, I kept twitching every time that vine even made the slightest movement. I was giggling like a child over a vine

Oh Kitt’s so gonna get this when I get back

He’s probably watching actually, probably laughing or praying for my sake. It’s embarrassing really. How the Enforcer has such a weakness no one knew about, how within a day everyone will

I somehow managed to muffle a squeal into my knees that I was now hugging close, it was that squeal she brought out of me, a feeling a was to ashamed to admit

That vine slipped higher, somehow slipping its way under my arm even though I I squeezing them to my sides to the point it was getting tiring. I couldn’t stop myself from burying my face in my knees and just laughing like I’d never had. The nails were one thing, the fingers were another, but somehow, someway, this is worst then the scratches

“You’rere really struggling down there Azer.” Responding wasn’t really an option other than another muffled squeal as that other vine around my leg slipped into my boot, swirling around the bottom in a way that made me kick my leg out in instinct. Making myself half leaning against that tree half laying in the dirt

Did I just move myself with my own kick?

“You almost just kicked me Prince.”

Prince

I knew that voice, ashamed in myself for not recognizing it sooner

Pae

“G-Gray please.” She snorted up at the sky, I wasn’t gonna even attempt to lift my head even though I’d pay anything to see that smile

“You’re hysterical Azer.” I wheezed into my hands, I hadn’t been tickled like this since I was a child and even then that was by Kitt

She smirked, seeing that dagger I dropped glinting in the setting sun. She walked over and picked it up. Holding it out in front of me just out of reach, she was taunting me, playing with me. Normally I’d smile at she games and call her some dumb nickname, yet now I could barely even stop myself from laughing long enough to answer

“Gray.” I managed between hysterical giggles and another squeal to my hands. A pathetic attempt from a Prince, from someone who claims to carry the title of an Enforcer

“I don’t know Prince. You haven’t thanked me yet.”

Oh fuck me

“You said you’d hel-.” Words were tough at the moment, I was barely speaking coherent sentences through the tears in my eyes

“You’re right I did. But I never gave the conditions,” she breathes, kneeling in front of my laughter filled body and tear streaked face. “You haven’t thanked me for saving you yet. Once you do that. I’ll cut you free.” She placed two fingers between my knees, skin meeting my chin, tilting it to meet her fiery blue gaze. Mine a pathetic mix of gray and tears

I managed to push her hand away from me, melting into the ground around me, still half sitting up against that tree, squealing and twisting as those vines swirled, one in a hollow I hated to admit was a weakness, other in a place I didn’t let anyone even try, and I honestly didn’t even know which one was worse

“Okay okay!” I ended up a ball in the dirt, laughing hysterically in my hands, tears finally dripping from my eyes. “T-Thank y-“ I wheezed again, I tried to hold it in, but those vines weren’t helping me a lot

“Sorry what was that Azer? I can’t hear you through the squealing.” She was playing dirty, and normally I’d be here for it, I’d join in, tease her a little. But right now that wasn’t even an option

“Gray!” I almost kicked her again, I couldn’t see her through my hands but I could nearly pick up the sound of her stepping back, a soft laugh past her lips, I could practically feel her smirking

“Maybe I should just leave you here for almost kicking me.” I could hear her smirks, could feel her giggles even though she tried to keep them quiet

“Payden please!” I never thought there’d be a day I’d beg her, plead to her, to a slummer. And yet I’d plead if it was only to her, kneel to her as long as she was the one standing before me, bleed for her as long as she was the one holding the knife. Even in this moment that was clear to me, using her actual name didn’t even click in my head

I swear to god if she says-

“Fine. Only because Kitt might kill me if you die.” I would have normally rolled my eyes if i wasn’t embarrassed enough to plead

The second that vine cut i felt it went limp, it stopped yet I was still giggling, I turned onto my back, laughing up at the sky, arms at my sides, gulping down the air I was so graciously given

Free at last

“On your feet Prince. I can’t promise we’ll be hidden for long with how loud your squealing was.” She said it so simply, yet it was simply perfect. Beyond perfect. She always had that teasing edge to her voice, a fire in those eyes I’d let myself burn in. A ocean in those eyes I’d let myself drown in

“Yeah yeah. I’m coming.” I coughed out, trying to catch the breath I merely lost. “Did you have to let me embarrass myself that hard?” I pulled those vines out from under my clothes, dropping them in that pile of leaves from earlier

“Your dagger.” She slid it into the back of my belt, right where I like having it. No one ever knew that, yet she might have picked it up with her Physic abilities, so I didn’t question

“Are you seriously gonna ignore my question Gray?”

“It’s a stupid question so yes”

Fair

After I cleaned myself off, buried that trap again because seeing it already made a grin twitch, and flipping off the Sight that stood nearby, I stood to my feet, looking down at the girl who watched me laugh and laughed along with me

As we walked a heard a small snicker, it was muffled, into a hand. I glanced down that this silver haired girl with a small smirk, mainly because I couldn’t wipe a smile off my face after what just happened

“What?” I said in mock offense, a hand to my chest, the blush fading away from my face, ears stopping the burning

“You squeal like a girl.”
