《Nicknames》Chapter 6 ~ Still Here...

2 years later...
I've been up and dressed for an hour and Luna still isn't up so I decide to wake her. Jogging up the stairs, I head into her room where I find her sleeping peacefully in bed with the comforter just below the curve of her bum and her face in the pillow. I love how she still sleeps in my shirt that I gave her the first time I met her. It's still my favorite sight to see in the morning.
Walking up to the bed, I pull the sheets back and climb in on the other side, wrapping my arm around her waist and pulling her into me. She snuggles closer and I laugh just before sending a sharp smack to her round, fat, a--.
She slaps me in the chest, turning away from me and falling back to sleep with a huff. I laugh and pull her back into me, placing soft kisses to the back of her neck. For a few seconds she will be mad, but she'll get over it. Most of the time she does.
I squeeze her side and kiss behind her ear. "Come here."
A soft whine leaves her lips, but she still turns into me and wraps her arms around my waist. "How long did you wake me up before my alarm?"
"I think 5 minutes."
"You're so mean," she mumbles against my chest.
"I was bored," I confess.
Her eyes flutter open and lock with mine. "You could've made me breakfast."
No. "It's your turn."
She shakes her head and slips her fingers underneath my shirt, tracing the grooves of my abs. I like when she does that. But I do not like when she tells me that I have to make breakfast because I woke her up from her sleep. When I try to apologize she tells me that she doesn't accept. Laughing, I push her curls out of her face and look down at her slightly freckled nose before placing a kiss to it. It makes her smile and I know I'm forgiven.

Then her alarm goes off and she surprises me with a punch to the arm before pushing off of me and climbing out of bed to her bathroom. I climb out and follow her, but she closes the door in my face.
"Love muffin!" I yell through the door.
I hear her snort. "Your nicknames get worse every time. What do you want?"
"What do you want for breakfast?" I question back.
"Waffles, bacon and eggs."
"Orange juice, apple juice, or coffee?"
The water starts and turns into the spray of a shower. "Coffee. Can you put apple juice in my thermos?"
"Ok."
I head back downstairs knowing that it doesn't take extremely long for Luna to get ready. She showers for no more than 15, brushing her teeth and washing her face while in there. Then she air dries while fixing her hair, finally she slips on her clothes and grabs her satchel that she prepared the previous night. If you're wondering how I know this, we talked about it a month after she had been staying with me.
Like clockwork Luna comes downstairs at 7:45 as I'm plating the food. She wears a form fitting shirt and tight jeans that hug her curves and torture me to no extent. Then she stretches and I can see the slight imprint of her nipples through the cotton fabric of her shirt. Her hair is pulled up into a ponytail, and I know for a fact that I am screwed. Living with Luna has been...something.
Taking her hand before she can reach her prepared plate of food, I pull her into me and look down at her. "Are you wearing a bra?" I question against her ear, moving my grip around to her waist.

All she does is shrug, informing me that it didn't matter if she was wearing one or not because it was none of my concern. That pissed me off a little so I just nod and release her, taking a seat at the island next to her and digging into breakfast. Fifteen minutes later we are leaving the apartment and heading to the bureau.
When we get there I am pissed even more the hell off as Luna's nerd boyfriend approaches. He's a tech geek and seriously obsessed with Luna. It's annoying. Everyone here knows that Luna is off limits and it's not because I want her but because if they try something with her I will kill them. But this boy doesn't back down.
Wrapping my arm around Luna's waist, I hold her against my side and walk to my desk, sitting her in the designated free spot on the corner of my desk. Then I sit in my chair and roll between her legs, resting my head on her thighs. She plays with my hair and turns to the tech geek. I never bothered to learn his name.
I don't listen until I hear him ask her out. Is he blind? I look up to Luna awaiting her answer.
"I would love--"
"CARTER!" David interrupts. "Masbourian."
Shit. Standing to my feet, I turn Luna's attention back to me and place a soft kiss to her ear, whispering, "Say no."
She just looks at me as I walk off and I have no way to know what she's going to say next because there are more important matters than a little boy asking her out.
Masbourian.

The rust colored lands of Osnein are rich with artifacts and old-world technologies highly valued by the various empires and kingdoms inhabiting this distant world.

Whether it is in the pursuit of knowledge, artifacts of power or immeasurable wealth they all risk their lives in an effort to create a better future for themselves. However, entrances to The Network are far and few and rarely explored as metallic entities known as the Jötnar, guard its very depths. In order to defend themselves against such threats, humanity employs the use of Seidr, also known as sorcery. It is the foundation in which gives power to the incantations invoked from the realms beyond the veil... and through the blessing of 'Ljoss' bestowed upon humanity by the Goddess Oracle, the time may yet come for humanity to claim The Network for themselves...

Maitbudi
Fermboi was a man of one ideal: make the weak strong. When his rebellion against the king proved futile, he was given another chance at life. This time, he sought to do nothing after realizing the hopelessness of it all. Aventina wanted to do nothing more than to follow her father’s footsteps. On a retaliation raid against her tribe’s enemies, her brothers perished. Spared by a leader of her enemies, she returned home to find herself the chief of her tribe. Bolahulag, half-civilized and half-barbarian, half-lowborn and half-royal. Raised in his mother’s civilized tent in a sea of barbaric shelters, Bolahulag was hesitant to follow his paternal way of life. After a battle between a civilized king and his father, Bolahulag was sent as hostage to learn the economy and military of the nation his father defeated. Derai knew nothing more than being an orphan, but when a merchant took her in, the world she thought impossible soon became a reality. Monghe, stuck in a school exemplifying strength for most of his life, began to understand what he needed to do in order to be strong instead of weak. Story is mostly about nothing. Fermboi does most of the nothing. Aventina does most of the military things. Bolahulag does a balance of economy and military. Derai focuses on economy. Monghe spitfires what it means to be a typical hero. Hopefully this is enough to give a general idea to people who don’t like going blind aside from the work being purportedly “good.” Who am I kidding, my writing is terrible. I hope it improves though.
