YAY! After long wait here is Lux’s post again since Carolina was all over me to get posting. So here it is.
-Lux-
“I…..what was the cause for making you do this to you…That’s what I want to know…anything else you want to tell me, I’ll listen to it” Hoom said as she smiled at me.
I sat on the ground and leaned against the railing looking at her unconvinced. But it was now inevitably, so telling her and keeping her heart from breaking was the least I could do now that I was broken on the inside. No matter how much I wanted to deny it, I was still a broken man.
“Alright so you want to know why I did the deed of killing myself? Well its very simple Hoom, actually very elementary. I thought it was best to kill myself because I am not happy at the mansion. I felt that my purpose in the world was nonexistent, that is why. So just disappearing without being missed and getting rid of any problems I have caused for many would seize to exist.” I said to her. My voice was rather depressing as she listened.
“But…how can you say that? I mean what about Lupe, what about Hon, Gil, Shupple, Abbie, and the others? What about us Lux?” Her tears were already beginning to flow, I figured as much since I knew she wouldn’t handle it. “What about your brother Xio or even Estelle?”
“Estelle?” I looked at her and she looked surprised. “Estelle is the reason I did this Hoom, I killed myself because of her to prove a point to her. She broke me Hoom, and she broke the love we had for each other.”
There was a long silence and her tears almost stopped instantly. I continued to look at her as she turned her attention to the ground as she fell to her knees. The sky was getting cloudy and it appeared that is was going to rain soon. I continued to tell her the story. “I don’t expect you to understand all this Hoom, but Estelle and I were each others….” I sighed, “…first loves.”
I could hear her whimpering a little as she kept her eyes on the ground without saying another. “I won’t bore you with little details Hoom, when I was young and training at the age of seven, I found Estelle and saved her and spent two years together as children. It was one of the best two years of my life, since she was not only my first love but also because she was my first real friend. I loved her dearly, and lost her to Team Galactic. I evolved into a Luxio for her to try and save her but as I did so she hit her head and stayed in the forest, where I was kidnapped and had my memory erased.” I paused for a few moments to here an airplane overhead. “Nevertheless, when we were in that other world a few months ago, my memory was returned. I won’t deny this, I love Estelle and I wanted her so much. But it all came down to what I wanted and who I desired most….that was you Hoom. I fell in love with your beautiful spirit, your body, your delightful personality, and that smile of yours. I don’t care that you are a Houndoom Hoom, I love you for you and I did not have any desire to lose you. I made the mature decision to talk to Estelle, but even though I still wanted to have some sort of relationship with Estelle…”
I began to choke on my own words as my own tears began to fall down my face. This was definitely was much harder than I had expected. Hoom turned to me with her eyes shocked from seeing my cry again, tch this was embarrassing for me to be so emotional as a guy and doing this in front of a girl. “Estelle did the worse thing possible…she erased….she erased all her memories of us. Everything, every goddamn thing. She didn’t remember our friendship as children, she didn’t remember our first kiss, she didn’t remember our feelings for the others, everything…all those good memories we had, she erased them just to make herself feel better yet here I am living knowing she forgot about us, when I never wanted that to happen. I hated her for doing something so selfish and escaping her problems. Everything was in vain Hoom, it is meaningless, and she went and broke my heart.” Just recalling this was getting me upset with rage and my voice began to pick up. “I wanted to die so she could at least feel the same damn pain I was feeling because of her. So being dead, she could feel pain from my death.”
“But, how would that make me feel Lux? Is death really something you wanted even if it cause me pain too?” Hoom whimpered as her eyes began to fill with tears again.
“Hoom,” I sighed. “You are a strong person and very beautiful, I had no doubt you could move on and find someone better then me. At least you wouldn’t have to think badly of me, I could just be a memory while I lived with the full awareness of not even being a memory anymore to Estelle.”
“You’re wrong Lux, you’re-”
“NO HOOM!” I growled at her. She looked at me with fear in her eyes. “I don’t fear death anymore. I….I…I DON’T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO ME HOOM. NOW I HAVE TO LOOK AT MY SELF IN THE FUCKING MIRROR AND SEE THIS DAMN SCAR ON MY EYE WHICH WILL BE A PAINFUL REMINDER OF ESTELLE AND HOW SHE WON’T REMEMBER US!” I was already worked up.
“Lux….” She whispered under her breath.
“WHAT!?” I roared looking at her.
She lifted her hand and gently put in on my cheek as she let her tears roll down her face again. I jerked back again as she gently rubbed her finger on my cheek. “Forgive me…” She cried.
“Huh?” That’s when I felt it. Her sharp claw dug into my left eye over the scar. It was so painfully that I grabbed her and threw her to the ground as I screamed from her sharp claw pulled back from my eye covered in blood. “WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT HOOM?” I yelled at her opening my right eye at her.
She pushed her self up and looked at me with those gloomy eyes. I was still upset with her but I still can’t believe I just pushed her to the ground. “I’m sorry Lux, its just….I don’t want to see you suffer. Now you won’t have a constant reminder of Estelle giving you that scare…because I gave it to you now.”
I was dumbfounded as I stared at her. So she did that to take the pressure of Estelle’s scar and make it her own? Sometimes, Hoom’s thinking was strange…but this, it was too much. I couldn’t believe she did this for me.
“See now you can blame me for that Lux.” She smiled as she began to cry again. “Because I love you too much to see you like this. I understand everything about Estelle and you being children so it’s unique. And…and I would be upset too if someone I loved did that to me, even I might have taken my life. But Lux, please please don’t ever think that way because you aren’t alone….you have me, because I love you Lux.”
She leaned in close and began to lick around my left eye. It was burning but I had heard that dog’s saliva could heal wounds. Without much thought I pulled her in close and embraced her. “You are such an idiot sometimes to love a fool like me Hoom.”
She rested her head on top of mine and gave a giggle as she wrapped her arms around my neck. I could feel her using a bit of her fire type to warm me up; she really was a fine woman. I still don’t know what she sees in me. “I know I can be an idiot sometimes, even Gil says that from time to time.”
“What?” I turned my head up. “Gil said that?” I questioned her.
She nodded and sat down a bit relaxed; nevertheless, that statement confused me. “Yes, Gil silly. He says that all time when we are fighting, teasing each other, or when I am clumsy and he catches me.”
Teasing each other? What the hell? Gil? But…I thought he…No this can’t be true not now.
“I see.” What am I suppose to say? I am conflicted with so many things and she has to mention the Glaceon. Maybe I am over thinking this a bit. “I deduce that is very coherent Hoom since you and him are friends. It makes sense. “
She now was staring at me and began to giggle which then turned into laughter. I titled my head to the side, “What’s so comical Hoom? I don’t see why you are laughing at me? Do I look that dumb to you or something? Did I say something dim-witted?”
“No No No!” She waved her hands in reassurance. “I just have never heard you talk this way before. This entire time, as I listened to you, your vocabulary changed. You sound smarter and I find it cute. I just haven’t seen this side of you before Lux.”
I blinked; I guess I didn’t realize I had reverted back to when I was a child in front of us. I did make a promise to myself that I wouldn’t hide this side but maybe I should have analyzed this and did it slowly not all at once. You’re still an idiot Lux you realize that right?
“It’s kind of funny really, you look like Gil right now when he is confused?” She chuckled. Again, she brings him up? Change the subject…
“Is that a bad thing Hoom? Maybe you are in love with someone who has a bad past and this is a side they have tried to keep hidden.” I told her with a colder voice. I felt depressed now as my ears lowered. “Maybe this person is not capable of love or deserve your friendship.”
“I think I will manage Lux, because you and Gil are the same way.” She smiled as she leaned in and kissed my cheek. I stayed motionless from the name of Gil. “He has told me some things about his past and I except him, he is more then just my friend now. There is nothing he can say that will change my feelings for him, nor you Lux. I will stay by your side Lux, just like he is by mine. I am really glad to have him, I trust him a lot and love him as well.”
SNAP!
“Oh…so that’s how you feel?” I closed my eyes and slowly stood up in front of her clenching my fist. “Well, that’s very convenient isn’t it Hoom. Umm, let me ask you, who brought me here?”
She blinked, “Gil did. Why? He carried you on his back and stayed by my side.”
“So let me get this straight,” I growled opening my eyes to look at her sternly. “You love him am I correct?”
She began to mutter, “Well yes…but you see-“
“NO BUTS!” I roared as I glare at her waving my fist in front of my chest. At that same moment lighting struck in the sky as a few droplets of water began to poor down. “You do or you don’t Hoom. Which is it? Because from the way you talk about him, it seems you really love him.”
“Of course I love him, he’s very important to me.” She stood up and grabbed my shirt and pulled on it as the rain began to tug on me. “It really isn’t what you’re thinking Lux. Please I love both of you!”
“No I am NOT going to be another PUPPET HOOM!” I pushed her away. “I can’t handle the hurt anymore. I rather see you happy with him then being dragged like a puppet on strings like Estelle did to me. You either love HIM or you love ME. Honestly, I have heard everything, how you talk to him, how you look at him endearingly. I hate it, I hate that fucking jackass. I rather be alone then deal with you being tagged a long to that have you really be in love with that pretty boy. Hell, why not Hoom, he seems you’re type…”
“Stop it Lux, you don’t know what you’re saying.” She cried as stomped her foot in anger.
“I know EXACTLY what I am saying Hoom. ‘I already trust you a lot Gil’ does that ring a bell?” She bit her lip and didn’t say a word as the rain began to pour. “I refuse to be another puppet and if you love him then at least tell me so you can spare me more heart ache. Ha ha ha, they say when it rains it pours, well isn’t this ironic?”
“Lux, we are only friends, he’s my best friend Lux nothing more. I love him like a brother!” I felt her grab my arm as I tried shaking her off.
“Don’t give me that bullshit! I know what you are doing; you are like everyone else when I was kid. You will use me to get what you want. I am not that dense Hoom. You are using me to keep yourself in a relationship but when the time is right, boom, you will leave me hanging here and run off with Gil. DAMN IT! Gil this, Gil that, I….I think it’s time for me to teach him where his damn place is.”
I grabbed Hoom by her arm and threw her too the ground. “Don’t try and stop me Hoom.” I walked past her in rage as the lighting struck again.
“Wait what are you gonna do?” She looked up her hair damp.
I didn’t respond to her and entered the elevator. “Level 1.” I said.
“LUX STOP THIS! THIS IS A MISUNDERSTANDING!” She got up and bolted at the door, which was beginning to close. “LUX PLEASE STOP!”
I glared as I watched her approach but the door slammed before she could enter and I was already on my way down the elevator. How could I trust that bastard? He betrayed me, and was flirting with my woman. Okay maybe not my woman and I may flirt but the way she looks at him and constantly talks about him, it sickens me. I refuse to be another number two to anyone.
“First floor.” The elevator said after several minutes of going down. My ears wiggled as I took my first few steps out of the elevator, the best way to find him was by scent but with so many people around it could be hard to make out, so my second option was to use my x-ray vision. Sounds good to me, thus I did just that. Everything grew dark and I could see threw the walls and could make out certain people, I looked around as many passed me but suddenly things began to blur and I fell to the ground.
“DOCTOR!” A nurse yelled as she grabbed my arm.
“What the?” I mumbled. How was that even possible? I felt the tug of the nurse trying to help me stand as I looked up I couldn’t see very far, my vision has blurred. I mean things up close were still in plain view but off in the distance they were blurred. This can’t be what I think it is. No not again, not now.
“Are you alright son?” Said a doctor who just ran from another room.
I was already in a bad mood but still I put on a fake smile, “Yeah I am fine really! Just a bit clumsy is all. Now if you excuse me!” I said as I began to walk back in the direction of my room. Hoom’s scent was coming from the elevator so I knew she was close and I only had a little time as I stumbled on my way back. I bumped into a few items but that was only because people quickly pushed them in front of me, but my vision was blurring further and further. Could this be what the doctor said? That I had damaged myself more then I had known. This was not a good sign at all.
Then he appeared, Gil. He was with Raine and Hon as they chatted outside of my room. Gil turned his head and smiled and waved me over. My face was not amused nor was I happy to see him; my steps began to quicker as I saw his stupid grinning smile. I too couldn’t help myself from grinning as anger took over.
“LUX STOP IT NOW!” Hoom screamed as she ran through the hall around me.
“Huh? What is going on Lux?” Gil said as he place a hand on his hips. He looked confused and so did Raine and Hon.
“Something I should have done a long time ago…” I built a small amount of electricity in my hand. “…YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!!”
His eyes widen as I swung an electrical fist at him hitting him straight in the face and into the wall near my room. Raine stood there scared, Hon wasn’t sure what to do, Hoom ran over, but I grabbed Gil’s shirt, “COME HERE YA PIECE OF SHIT!”
He was bleeding from the cheek as I dragged him into my room and tossed him on the bed. I turned to quickly lock the door behind me and shut the shades. Gil was struggling to get up and I gave him another blow to the face. “I FUCKING HATE YOU BASTARD! I WON”T BE SECOND TO YOU HERE ME! I HATE *punch* HATE *punch* HATE YOU!!!” I screamed at him as I kept punching him in the face. He was now bleeding from the nose, it was most likely broken.
“I TRUSTED YOU! YET YOU HIT ON HOOM! I SEE HOW YOU BOTH LOOK AT EACH OTHER. SHE ADMITS SHE LOVES YOU AND I SUPPOSE YOU FELT THE SAME!” I roared continuing to punch him and hearing the screams of the others trying to get in.
“ACK…ARGH…JACKASS…GET….OFF ME!! IT’S NOT LIKE THAT!” Gil grumbled as he caught a punch and looked up at me. “WILL YOU JUST LISTEN!”
“HELL NO! NOT TO A PRETTY BOY LIKE YOU!” I grabbed him and threw him against the table next to the bed knocking the supplies over. “YOU TOOK HER FROM ME! I WON’T BE A NUMEBR TWO ANYMORE I REFUSE. I AM GOING TO STICK UP FOR WHAT I WANT AND TEACH YOU YOUR PLACE YOU DAMN PRETTY BOY!!!” I threw up my fists ready for a fight.
-END-
WOWZERS! 7 damn pages lol! A big misunderstanding that is for sure! Well Lux has a jealousy issues as you can tell when it comes to Gil and Hoom. I will let Kro take it from here. Well I guess to make things better between Gil and Lux there needs to be a fight.
Also, as you can see, Lux has lost his eye sight a little so he is now officially near-sighted which will be a huge factor later one, well durr he has glasses in his new look. Alright so he was near-sighted as a kid. Hehe, I hope it was alright and I am sorry to Gil and Hoom but this was the only way I could figure out them trying to get over their rivalry. Lol it’s a good thing I promise! :D It will end well….eventually.
