《Good Looking》XII. I Wanna Be Yours
Advertisement
All this stress is going to give me pimples and make my hair fall out.
When the sun began to beat down on my face, I opened my eyes slowly to check my surroundings.
I was back in my bedroom, I don't remember how I got here or if I simply sleep walk and brought myself up here but I wasn't ready to get up yet.
I check my clock and it read only eight in the morning, so I got up and closed my blinds before shutting my curtains and getting back into my warm and comfortable bed.
My mind went back to the conversation of Miguel that I had with Venus, I was fully aware that I had s crush on him now but it hasn't even been a full two weeks, also knowing the fact that he might not even feel the same way.
At this point, I decided to get up and brush my teeth to get my day started, I was no longer able to sleep any longer due to my thinking.
I walked to my closet after leaving the bathroom, I looked for some outfit that'll look nice on me.
Some of my outfits were pink but the rest were different varieties of colors, I liked having my options open and I like how each outfit looked on me.
Once I found a nice pink outfit, I grabbed it and began to change into it before doing my hair and some light make up.
When I finished getting dressed and doing my hair, I decided that I wouldn't wear any makeup and just opted for my mascara and concealer for today.
I walked downstairs to my sister and my mother cooking some breakfast togetber, Venus was doing a better job than my mom was and that was a fact.
"What are you guys making?"
I questioned as I walked to the island and sat down, Venus shrugged her shoulders and passed me a bowl of captin crunch.
Easily my favorite cereal, it's my comfort cereal as well.
"I'm just gonna stick with my cereal than whatever mom's trying to burn."
I teased, my mom had a dry laugh before walking over to me and kissing my forehead.
Venus sat beside me with her bowl of fruity pebbles.

"Did you figure out if you liked him or just found him attractive?"
Venus asked me, getting straight to the point the minute mom had left to go to her office.
I choked on my cereal and looked at my sister as if she was crazy, the suddenness of the question was what caught me off guard.
"Oh uhm, I mean yeah I figured it out."
I informed my sister as I began to wolf down my cereal before she could ask any more questions, Venus chuckled and finished her cereal.
Grabbing both of our bowls, Venus walked to the sink and began to do the dishes while I make my escape to the front door.
Let me tell you, when I don't want to answer any type of questions that either make me uncomfortable or even make me feel embarrassed, I just run away from it and hide out until the question goes away.
I was just wandering around, I didn't know where to go at all so I just walked to the park because, why not?
I walked into the park and walked to the swings, I always loved the swings although there are moments I just fall off and then crack open my head or break my skin.
As I walked past the gates off of the swings, I felt someone grabbed my shoulder and cover my mouth, I screamed until I heard laughter.
"God, you're a pyscho!"
I shrieked as I shoved Miguel, he laughed and walked past me to go onto the swings.
"I'm sorry, just saw the opportunity and took it."
Miguel defended himself as he laughed, I bit back a chuckle and nodded before walking next to him and sat on the swings.
"I thought I was gonna get kidnapped, legit my life flashed before my eyes... I've made a lot of questionable decisions come to think of it."
I laughed and Miguel smiled as we began to talk, turns out he was bored and his friends were busy so he decided to come to the park.
He asked me why I was here.
"Avoiding questions and whatnot."
I answered truthfully but I didn't go into depth about it, Miguel nodded his head.
He had a black hat on, backwards with a black shirt and ripped jeans.

"I like the outfit you have on."
I complimented him, Miguel returned the compliment.
"Are you and your friends doing anything next week, Friday?"
Miguel suddenly asked, I looked at him and told him to hold on before texting the group chat and asking them if we have any plans for next week Friday.
All of them told me no and had asked me why but I told them to wait, then told Miguel that I wasn't doing anything.
"Well, my friends and I were gonna go to the movie theater to watch a new horror movie. I was wondering if y'all wanted to join us?"
Miguel invited, he rubbed the back of his neck and looked away.
"I'm in but I'll ask them if they're also in."
I responded before pulling my phone out and asking the group if they wanted to join me to the movie theater, everyone agreed to go.
"They're in, whose going?"
I asked, I'm sure that his friends are good people but it didn't hurt to ask him if they make bad decisions or if they were just Thad people in general.
Valentina's judging them either way, she's the friend that we have to say 'Be nice' to when meeting new people, the girl has zero filter.
"Oh, the two people that you saw at the pool and then two more."
Miguel answered vaguely, I nodded my head and we continued to speak until the sun began to go down, he offered to walk me home like last time and I accepted the offer without any hesitation.
We decided to see who could run the fastest after two minutes, so while running, I tripped over a pebble and nearly bashed my face in.
When Miguel walked back to check if I was alright, i was laughing to the point my insides hurt.
Running while laughing should be considered a sport because it is so difficult to do at the same time.
"I'll see you next week? Maybe sooner if you're at the park again."
Miguel told me, I nodded my head and we waved each other goodbye before I walked into my house and locked the door.
Venus was sitting in the living room, on the ground doing some type of ritual.
"Mom said you can't bring anymore demons into our house."
I reminded my sister as I walked into the living room and sat down on the couch, Venus looked up from her little project and glared at me, scrunching up her nose in the process.
"I'm actually trying to see if you can bag a boyfriend, the papers say no."
Venus spat, I chuckled and looked at what she was doing.
It was paper but it didn't have anything written, Venus crumbled the paper up and walked over to the couch to sit next to me.
"The papers did say you were stressing over Michael."
My sister told me as she looked at the tv, she began to look for either a show or a movie to put on.
"Miguel, and what are you even doing with those papers?"
I corrected my sister, Venus shrugged her shoulders and clicked on Annabelle Comes Home, it was our favorite movie since we always make jokes about the situation but then pee our pants when the lights go out.
"Yeah Malachi, why are you stressing over him anyways?"
"Miguel, and the stress is because I need get my life together."
I corrected my sister once more before getting up and walking to the kitchen, Venus followed me after putting the movie on pause to continue the discussion.
While I was pouring out my heart and soul to my youngest sister, I was always making up popcorn and getting something to drink.
"So you wanna be his, but you're scared cause it's too early?"
Venus asked me summing up all of what I had just told her, I nodded and handed her the full bowl of popcorn as we made our way to the couch.
All this stress is going to give me pimples and make my hair fall out.
I sighed as I grabbed a piece of popcorn and placing it in my mouth, Venus just sighed with me and unpaused the movie.
Am I even sure that I wanted to be his? That's a question not even Einstein can answer.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
