The atmosphere was quiet for a moment.

Ali: Pftt- HAHAHAHAHAHA! W-WHA? GALAXY CONQUEROR? PFTT-HAHAHAHAHA!

Ali bursted into laughter he almost roll on the floor as Reverse just look at him.

Annoyed.

Reverse: You saw me fall into the ocean idiot how can it not convince you?

Ali: *giggle* Pfft- Hehehe...S-Sorry sorry. B-But...hahaha! Man,I haven't laugh this hard past three years.

Reverse tilted his head and sigh.

No way this idiot would understand.

Ali: Okay,jokes aside. You haven't eat for a week,you should eat the porridge while it still hot.

Reverse look at the forgotten porridge and pick it up.

Ali: I didn't poisoned it if that's what you think.

Reverse blankly stir the porridge with the spoon.

Reverse: *blank* It's already cold.

Ali: Alright,let me reheat it for you.

As Ali stand up to take the bowl from Reverse,the room temperature instantly changed hotter making Ali step away from Reverse.

Ali: What the-?!

Reverse's hand glow orange under the bowl and he innocently stir the bubbling porridge.

It look like he is reheating the porridge by himself.

Reverse: *take a sip* Hm,now it's perfect.

He then continuously eat the porridge without caring about Ali who was staring at him like he grew a head or something.

Ali: I- I should take a nap now I think I overworking myself- *walk to the door*

Reverse: Alright,see ya soon buddy. *Continue eating*

Ali run to his living room and lay on the sofa.

Ali:*daze* I am sure I did not seeing things.....Did I took my medicine today? Wait- Since when I have medicine?

Ali mumbled himself to sleep eventually.

Okay, let Ali get his sleep now back to Reverse.

He devoured the whole porridge just like that.

Haven't eating for a week sure make him hungry he can go rampage.

After drinking his tea,he let his mind wandered.

Reverse: So.... He is one just like me,huh? Interesting...*pull his cuffed hand*

Ali might be dumb for think this tiny cuff would actually hold him back.

He's the Galaxy Conqueror for heck sake.

Reverse just simply wiggle his hand out and walla!

He is free~

Reverse took a moment to adjust as he slowly stand up,minding his injuries and crack his body.

Reverse: Damn, that's feels good.

He slowly walk out from the room and peak out through the hallway. He could see the living room from here.

Ali is sleeping soundly on the sofa.

Reverse:*shake head slowly* He's going to have sore back when he wake up later.

Feeling generous because Ali helped him,Reverse pick Ali up and bring him to the bedroom.

And yeah he is so damn light he need to eat after this. Reverse will make sure of it.

After putting him on bed, plus cuffing him just for revenge,Reverse go to the kitchen. He is still hungry he wants to eat.

Guess that Ali wouldn't mind if he take a few snacks or anything.

Ali jolted from his long-needed sleep as he heard a loud bang near him.

Ali: *look around* Wait- Since when I- Didn't I just sleep at the couch? Hold on-*pull his hand* What the heck?!

A new voice suddenly interrupt his panic state.

...: Chill out kid I was the one who put you to bed.

His heart almost leap out from his ribcage as the humanoid alien- eh, Reverse, is leaning against his study table and twirling a forest knife in his hand skillfully.

Reverse saw Ali's fear rising up in his eyes. He chuckled lightly.

Reverse: Relax Ali. If I wanted to kill you,I would already did it when you were asleep. *twirled the knife*

Ali pull on his cuffed hand as Reverse walk to sit on the chair facing him.

Ali: H-How did you e-escape?

Reverse: I told you I am the Galaxy Conqueror Ali. Small cuff like that are not going to hold me down.

Ali: *stare* Then why you didn't....a-attack me while you...can?

Reverse is silent for a while making Ali anxious.

After a few moments,he speak.

Reverse: You seems like a nice kid and I doesn't feel any kind of danger around you so I guess you are fine. Plus,you did help me for the past one week so I guess I just....returning the favour by not killing you

Ali sigh lightly in relief.

They stay in silent for a minutes before Reverse start talking again.

Reverse: Say,why are you out here alone,Ali?

Ali tensed before looking somewhere else.

Ali: It is none of your business.

Well,I guess he pushed his luck around Reverse too much.

Ali yelped as Reverse lunged forward,pinning him down and stab the knife into the pillow,deathly close to his face.

His bloody red eyes glared into him.

Reverse: Listen to me now you brat. Just because I was being nice doesn't mean you can push your luck with me. I am the Conqueror for a freaking reason and kill people just because I feel like it.

Reverse tilted this sharp knife dangerously close to Ali's neck he had to hold his breath.

Reverse: Now I will give you two choices. One,you be a good boy and answer me truthfully or two,deny me and I will kill you in seven different ways.

Ali is trembling hard as he slowly nod. Reverse let out a satisfied hm before getting off the bed,taking the knife with him and let Ali breath.

Reverse sit on the chair and wait until Ali got his composure.

Reverse: Now,will you answer my question?

Ali: *weak glare* Yeah..Just... Don't do that again it's freaking scary.

Reverse just shrugged.

Reverse: Same question like before.

Ali sigh.

Ali: I am alone out here because I am...a fugitive. Labeled criminal.

Reverse raised his eyebrows in amusement.

Reverse: Interesting. For what?

Ali: For being...a traitor...

Reverse just nodded.

Reverse: I want the whole story. Spill it out now.*twirl the knife*

Ali: Wha- Why would you care about what had happened to me?!

His voice is dangerously loud for Reverse's liking.

Ali: We just met and yet you demand to know my life story! What? I can't be out here alone because I'm a freaking kid?! Heck I have been alone ever since I was 12 years old dammit don't act like you actually care!

His sudden outburst does not startled Reverse at all. He just let Ali let it out everything.

Coming to his sense,Ali low his head down,tears brimming in the corner of his eyes.

Ali: I-I'm sorry R-Reverse but can I please...not answering that question f-for now..?Please?*rub his eyes*

Reverse doesn't say anything but he stand up and walk to Ali.

Ali(in mind): Yeah,I will be killed by the alien human for annoying him off....Better be dead I guess...

Ali closed his eyes shut,expecting the knife will stab him.

Hope it isn't too painfu-

Click

Ali snaps his eyes opened as he heard the cuff clicking.

Reverse is picking the lock of the cuff using the knife. When the cuff fall on the ground,he stand up,put the knife beside Ali and put his hands in his pockets.

Reverse: It's already night time and you haven't eat your dinner. I cooked something for you while you were asleep. I will reheat it for you now.

With that,Reverse walk out of the room,leaving Ali behind in wonder.

Ali:.....What.. just happened..?
