"I'm not allowed to question orders." Blake said meekly. "I just didn't want to hurt you, alright? I won't tell anyone where you are. I'll just-" Blake froze for a second as realisation hit him. Commander Ryker said he'd cut iff my wings if I failed this mission. Blake tensed and stiffened considerably. "I'll just… just take the punishment. It's not a big deal." Blake had to force the words out of himself, his mouth going dry with fear.
Ace held out a hand, "Stay with us."
Blake looked at Ace, his eyes filled with uncertainty. "My parents…" He mumbled, looking around at everyone in the room. No one seemed to notice the conversation between Ace and him. Dani had promised to help me find them. She said Commander Ryker can't find you. She promised you'd be safe. Blake reached his hand out tentatively. Macha's words echoed in his head: "You aren't in the military anymore, Blake." She had looked at him with pity before giving him a piece of cake. Suddenly Blake had that warm feeling in his chest again. The one he wasn't used to. Trust. He grabbed ahold of Ace's hand and roughly pulled him into a hug.
(That was so cheesy lol. Sorry guys!)
Ace hugged him back and laughed. "If you hadn't taken my hand, I would've wrestled you onto the floor and made you." he rubbed Blake's head vigorously, careful not to touch the braids, "I'm glad you decided to stay."
(EMBRACE THE CHEESE!!!!! {i say through tears})
"You better not make me regret it." Blake grumbled, trying and failing to be serious. "Didn't you say there was ice cream around here? Can we get some?" Blake changed the topic. His emotions were running high right now. Ice cream seemed like a good fix for both of them.
(Thanks @TopazWyrmlet~! I'm glad you appreciate my cheesiness)
"Yes, ike cream is a good idea." Ace headed towards the kitchen, "Hey Peter, can we have some ike cream?"
(Has @Mish been on in the past couple of days?)
Please don't get the case of the Disappearing Mistress.
(Also @Natasha I hope you start feeling better soon! I get anxiety attacks sometimes too)
Peter laughed, "Of course. Take it before I get too fat to fly,"
sorry low battery on my compuder brb
Dani looked back up at Macha. She took a shaky breath. "I'm okay. Really. Thanks Macha."
Ace grinned and motioned for Blake to come over, "Ike cream." he said, as he grabbed the tub.
Thank gosh, we were worried!
"Ice cream." Blake corrected, raising an eyebrow at Ace. "What kind is it anyways?" He asked curiously.
(@Mish it's good to see you again!)
He chuckled a little as he ambled over to the sofa. "Are you sure this a good place to sleep?", Iseul asked. After he felt like he shouldn't have bothered asking, Zander was knocked out. Taking a breath he sat down on the floor and leaned on the bottom part of the sofa. Iseul took out his phone and went to his contacts. He scrolled down till he found 101311191514. Smirking he pressed it then waited for him to pick up.
"Was is it now kid?", the voice asked.
"Jackson, what should I do if someone is asleep in a place where people are dancing and drinking?", Iseul inquired.
"You've gotta be kidding me kid."
"There are different kinds of ike cream?" Ace's eyes widened in surprise.
"For a world traveler, you sure don't know much about modern life." Blake commented with a smirk. "And yeah they're almost any flavour of ice cream you can imagine." He said, emphasising the word ice in ice cream.
"I only paid attention to important stuff."Ace said, his face still illuminated with the amazement of the information Blake had just given him.
"Well clearly you don't know what's important. Food is." Blake smirked. "I bet you've never had a good hotdog or donut! It's pathetic, really." Blake rocked on his heels. "So what flavour is the ice cream? Or what's it look like, at least."
