Another month passed.

Life has been good. No MATA agents around him, he still go on secret mission in the middle of the night when Reverse is sleeping and he got some saving too.

It was still a mystery how Reverse didn't know it yet.

He will keep it and let Reverse pay for everything as long as he is here hoho.

Okay,he still doesn't go to meet Viktor yet to explain about what had happened. Viktor is busy with school and his life while Ali himself is busy trying not to get caught so yeah,it is better like this.

But,during this week,Reverse often showing his "alien-thingy" ability.

Y'know,like heating his food using only by his hands,taking whatever he want using that weird green vines. Lifting heavy shelf using his bare hands.

And the most frustrating parts that whenever Ali asked Reverse about it he would just ignored him and that was so freaking frustrating.

Now,Ali is glaring at Reverse who is innocently bending thick metal to repair the broken roof.

May I add he is casually sitting on the thick green vine like a freaking swing?!

Ali: I started to doubt that you are a human.

Reverse: Whatever you say. *still focus*

Ali: *lay on the couch* Do you have superpowers?

Reverse: Nope.

Ali: Then how can you bend a freaking thick metal like a twig?

Reverse: I'm just strong,not a walking skeleton like you.

Ali: Meanie. *pout*

Reverse: *roll eyes* Whatever. Don't you have anything better to do other than staring at me like a total creep?

Ali: I'm not staring at you idiot I was just curious about your superhuman thingy that you can do.

Reverse: I'm just stronger. That's all.

Reverse jump down after he is done repairing the roof.

Reverse: Anyway,are you hungry?

Ali: *shake head* You literally force me to eat a big portion of rice last night and now I'm fat. Uglier than ever.

Yep,he definitely has gained weight.

And he hates it.

Reverse: You are not fat. Plus,it was for your own good. You're going to die from wind blowing on you.

Ali: *roll eyes* And you said you're not a mother hen.*sigh* I hate...eating too much,okay? What if one day I need to run again? What if because I am fat I can't run fast enough and get caught?

Reverse: And now he's babbling nonsense-*sigh*

Ali stood up to look at the mirror in his living room. He look a little bit healthier than before.

His eyebags were still there but faint.

Fat.

Ali: Heh,ugly.

Reverse: Wowowow,now hold the chotto matte a minute. Since when you go around and downgrading yourself? Only I allowed to do that.

Ali: What? I said the truth.

Reverse: Ali,you are not fat. You are just healthy now. Are you doubting my decision?

Ali: *sad chuckle* Yeah right keep lying to me like that.

Reverse rolled his eyes in annoyance. Why would he care-

You can't let him self hating like that-

Comfort him.

Reverse:*grumble* Stupid emotions.

Reverse walk up to Ali and stood behind him.

Reverse: Hm...This mirror sure do reflecting perfection,huh?

Ali; Pfft- Talking about yourself?

No lie tho. Reverse is perfection.

Reverse: Well,who else is in the reflection other than me?

Ali: *confused**look at the mirror* Me?

Reverse: Exactly.

Reverse tilted Ali's chin from behind to look at the mirror again.

Reverse: Listen here,Ali. You are not fat nor ugly,okay? I forced you to eat so that I can actually train you in combat. You really have the talent and I want to train you for that.

Reverse's hands slightly relaxed Ali's tensed shoulders.

Reverse: You are nothing but skin and bone. You can get hurt doing that 'illegal activities' of yours.

Ali: *suddenly look away* Why would you care? I am nobody. And I was just fine even before you came. You- I don't understand you sometimes.

Ali could hear Reverse sigh lightly. From the reflection he swear he could see Reverse's red eyes flashes brilliant gold for a moment.

Reverse: I did what I did because I.....care about you,okay? I don't freaking know why I did,but I just am,okay? I knew I am the Conqueror,I am supposed to be feared. Supposed to be heartless. But,having someone to care about other than myself is quite....amusing? I don't know. Maybe I was lack of human-interaction or maybe just my emotions getting excited over something.

Reverse's hand softly patting Ali's head.

Reverse: It's lonely. Back there in the space. I had no one to talk to other than my servants. I do talk to myself time to time just to not be bored.

Ali: *sudden giggle* You are crazy.

Reverse: Yes,I am. And it is....how I wanna put this...nice,to have someone to care about other than myself. *groan* Gosh,I sounded like sappy old man talking to his grandchildren-

That's make Ali giggles.

Reverse: My point is,and I will just say this once,I did care about you. You saved me,and I had to repay it back. I'm not a bastard.

Ali: I....Thank you..Reverse. It have been a long time since...anyone ever care about me like this. I kinda like it. But, you are a Galaxy Conqueror. You shouldn't lower your standard being around me.

Reverse: And I should care about it because..?

Ali: You-*turn around* You actually like being around me? I thought-

Reverse: I enjoyed your presence. You're annoying sometimes when you go behind my orders but if anything happened to you I'm going to murder this whole city.

Ali: Wow, possessive so much?

Reverse: It's just my emotions. They are annoying sometimes and make me do all this sappy thing.

Ali: Your emotions?

Reverse: *groan* I blamed it on them for being sappy now let's stop talking about this before I snap your neck.

Reverse grumbled before patting Ali's head roughly one more time before walking to the kitchen.

As Reverse disappearing to the kitchen,Ali look back at the mirror and lightly smile to himself.

He's touched with what Reverse said.

There is someone else other than Viktor is actually care about him.

It actually warmed his heart-
.
.

RING!
.
.

Ali startled when his phone goes off. He look at the caller ID before looking back. He quickly walk out from the house.

After making sure he was far away from Reverse,he pick up the phone.

Ali: Hello,Iris here.

...: Ah,Iris! My best boy! I have a job for you.

Ali: Sir Daniel,I already informed you I can't do any missions right now.

...: Please Iris. I will give you whatever you want. Any price. I just need you to go on this mission.

Ali: *sigh* Depends.

...: I'm sure you will love this mission.
