Chapter 3: Feelings?

I stood there in shock. How did he know my name!?
That's what terrified me...
I recognised his voice but I just couldn't work out who's he was and why I seemed to know him.

The eyes were what scared me. His eyes sockets looking hollow even though he had purple pin-pricks as pupils.
They were glowing as a grin was stretched across his face.

"H-how do you know my name...?" I asked as I looked up at him
I wanted to run but I couldn't, my legs were holding me back

"Oh Reboot... How could you even forget me?" He laughed a bit, " but then, you are immature and that mind of yours clearly has no use. " He started to near be even more, so much that I could basically see the inside of the cracks on his face.

I whimpered, basically begging to wake up in my mind as I gripped my hands into fists.
"Just tell me who you are"

All that answered was a cold, unnatural laugh that seemed to echo through the place
"Why should I tell you, when you could be the one to find out for yourself?"

From that point everything started to blur, the man disappearing
"Wait!!! Come back!! I have so many questi-"

---------------------

My eyes shot open to be met by a pair of eyes, one was a star and the other an ocean blue pupil. I couldn't help but let out a shriek, "EEEEEKKKKK!!!!!!"
"What the fuck!!??" I suddenly slapped whoever it was before shooting under the covers of the bed and curling up. What followed was an "OW", a small grunt and the covers being pulled off of me.

"Okay I may be harsh but the hell was that slap for, Reboot!? I literally just woke you up! " Peeking out from my scarf I spotted Eraser who was currently stood over me as he rubbed a small bruise on his cheek.
"O-ops..... S-sorry..." I slowly sat up, looking down and trying not to make eye contact. He grunted, "anyways. You need food so I made the efforts to actually make you some." He passed me a plate of food which was a mix of cooked eggs, toast and bacon. The sight and smell made my mouth water in the desperation to eat it as soon as possible yet I stopped myself. "A-re you sure? I-I don't want to be a burden..." I looked down again, Eraser blinked as a small dusting of grey crept up onto his cheeks.
"Just eat." He sighed, I took the plate, feeling slightly guilty. Glancing up at him and starting to eat I watched him.to get I was soon distracted by the amazing tastes filling my mouth. "Mmmm!!! This is delicious!!" I exclaimed, stuffing my mouth with more.

Eraser looked to me, I hadn't noticed as I continued to eat. He had a small smile on his face, so small that you could hardly see it.
After a few minutes I had gained the delicious meal, of course I was still nervous but I did my best to hide it. I had to be strong, the last thing I wanted was to look weak. My soul was beating like a drum, being this close to the destroyer as having a large effect on me. Slowly I moved my head, looking to at him. Eraser flinched a bit but quickly got up, looking away and taking the plate. "You... You can come downstairs but no funny business," he growled while saying the last part before leaving the room and the door open for me.

Reboot sat there, watching the destroyer leave in such a swift manner is made him flinch. He sighed quietly to himself, staring down at his hands for a long moment, tracing his fingertips along every single line along his hands before shaking his head. He moved to the side of the bed, swung his legs down and got up with a small wobble, he took a step forward.

He was on the floor in a matter of seconds- so much for a gently start of the day-

Gripping onto the wall he yanked himself back up to his feet, wincing before heading towards the door with a small limp which he did his best to hide. Look weak in front of the destroyer and your enemy and you'll most likely be beaten to a pulp just for the entertainment.


It took five minutes, FIVE WHOLE MINUTES, just to get down the hallway and reach the top of the stairs.Reboot sighed, gripping the handles and limping down awkwardly, biting his lip so hard that it almost split.


Eraser was there, fiddling with the rubbers he held with him and used to erase all those aus which he saw as 'simple mistakes' and would be followed by the usual phrase of, 'oh Reboot. Why I was just helping take out the trash!'

Reboot slowly walked over, Eraser glancing up at him for a quick moment before looking back down.

He swallowed dryly, sitting down with a good enough distance between them on the couch. He fidgeted nervously, leaning back but not getting too comfy.


He looked over to him before he finally spoke. "Why try?"

"What?"


"Why try and help me... I'm your enemy after all... "Reboot looked away awkwardly. "I can't recall how many times you've tried to kill me, bu-"


"Because."


Reboot blinked


"Because you made me feel something I haven't felt in a very long time."
