《When I'm with You》6
Advertisement
Two weeks had passed since that day when Razor realized his own feelings. He hadn't treated Bennett any differently, but he was a bit more cautious with his actions.
"Gym." Bennett sighed reading the board, "Let's go Razor."
Razor silently followed Bennett to the lockerroom as usual to change. "I think today is a free day." Bennett spoke, watching Razor tie his shoe.
He wasn't sure when the shoe tyung became a constant occurance, but each time Razor helped Bennett tie his shoes, he found that he didn't trip on the laces.
"Thank you~" Bennett spoke, standing up and walking with Razor into the gym.
"Alright class, how about a few quick basketball games!
"Dang it." Bennett huffed,"I shouldn't have said that free day thing out loud."
"Everyone pick your teammates!" The teacher spoke before leaving to go to his office.
A few students looked at Razor and Bennett warily. They clearly didn't want either boy on their team.
Bennett turned to Razor,"We can just play catch by ourselves or rally with the badminton birdie."
Razor shrugged and followed Bennett to the equipment room and grabbed two rackets while Bennett grabbed the birdie.
"If we stay by the side we'll be out of the way." Bennett spoke, grabbing Razor's wrist and pulling the boy with him.
Bennett.. Razor felt tingles shoot down his arm from his wrist and create butterflies in his stomach.
"Okay here. You start with the birdie." Bennett spoke.
For about almost half an hour, the boys played by themselves, rallying the birdie while Bennett talked enough for the two of them.
"I think I'm getting the hang of this!" Bennett spoke with determination, picking the birdie he had just missed off the ground.
Razor bit back a smile.

"I'm learning, okay?!"
Razor nodded and waited for Bennett to serve the birdie.
Bennett threw the birdie up, and finally managed to hit it on the way down.
Razor gently hit it back to Bennett and watched the boy frantically try and fail at hitting it back.
"Ugh. Let's go get water and waste the rest of class." Bennett spoke, clearly feeling embarrassed.
・:*:・
Razor gave Bennett a comforting head pat as they walked into the hallway to get water from the water fountain.
"I'll do better next time." Bennett spoke with confidence, feeling comforted by Razor.
Razor nodded, standing beside the fountain and watching over Bennett as he drink the water. Not even a second later, Bennett was pulling away, from the water and coughing from drinking it the wrong way.
Razor immediately moved to pat Bennett's back a few and help the boy calm down. A few seconds later, the coughing boy finally caught his breath with a dejected sigh.
Razor put a hand on Bennett's shoulder and looked into the boy's eyes to see how he was doing.
"I'm okay now." Bennett muttered, wiping his pink lips with the back of his hand.
Razor tilted his head, as if asking a second time.
"Yes I'm really okay." Bennett repeated,"Just a bit unlucky that's all." He moved away from the fountain and gestured for Razor to drink from it.
Razor stepped towards it and began to drink while Bennett waited. The moment he finished, the two boys went back into the gym.
Bennett leaned down to pick up both his and Razor's rackets, unaware of the basketball heading towards him. Razor's eyes widened and he rushed to block it, feeling the ball slam against his wrist.
Razor winced and Bennett looked up,"Razor!"

Razor was holding his wrist carefully, trying to not make it hurt anymore than it already did.
"Oh no.." Bennett looked at Razor's wrist which was quickly becoming red. "Let's go to the nurse."
Razor shook his head and gestured for Bennett to go to the lockerroom.
"But I wanna go with you."
Razor shook his head again. He wanted to tell Bennett he'd be back quickly, but he didn't have his phone on him.
Razor brought a hand up to his ear to signify a phone call and Bennett understood,"I'll go get your phone! But I still wanna stay with you."
Razor realized he wouldn't be able to stop the boy so he let it go.
Bennett quickly went to change in the lockerroom and went to the classroom. Bennett peeked into the room to see a few students crowded around Razor's desk.
"You should write it."
"Okay fine." The students were writing on the desk with red and black sharpie.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" Bennett called.
The students turned to Bennett as he approached them. Bennett looked down at the desk and gasped,"What the fuck?!"
The students left the markers on the desk and ran out of the room quickly through the back door of the classroom, snickering to themselves.
Right at that moment, a teacher entered the room.
"Hey! What are you doing in here? You should be in gym."
Bennett turned around quickly,"I was just-"
The teacher noticed the marker,"Did you just vandalize this desk?" The teacher glared at Bennett.
"No!"
"Come with me."
"I didn't even do this- it's a misunderstanding-"
"Right now!"
Bennett sighed and followed the teacher.
・:*:・
Razor left the nurse's office with a bandage on his wrist and ice. Where's Bennett?
With a sigh the male entered the classroom to see Bennett scrubbing his desk off. Bennett turned around to see Razor,"You're okay!"
Razor pointed at the desk and looked up at Bennett.
Bennett frowned,"Someone drew on your desk and I walked in on them and got them to stop. But right as they left he teacher came in."
Razor smiled softly and ruffled Bennett's hair. He knew the male wouldn't do something like this. If anything he felt bad that Bennett had been caught in the middle of it all.
With his good arm he pulled Bennett close for a one armed hug.
"I'm sorry I couldn't get your phone to you like you asked."
Razor shrugged.
"I'll finish this.. sorry I didn't stop them in time."
Razor pulled his phone out of his bag and sent Bennett a message.
Razor:
It's not like you knew this would happen.
"I know.. I just.. feel a bit bad." Bennett spoke sadly.
Razor:
Your concern is cute Bennett.
Bennett read the message and with an unreadable look on his face. "I-I.." Bennett turned away,"I'll go grab your regular clothes from your gym locker." He left the room quickly.
Razor watched the male leave. I ruined it..
With a sigh Razor used his good hand to wipe the rest of the soapy water off of his desk.

Dungeon's Path
The only places I have posted the story and allow it to exist are on RoyalRoad, Scribblehub, and my Patreon. So the world ended. Whoopsie? We didn’t even see it coming. Quite literally as it came at us faster than the speed of light. Don’t worry though, it got better. Also, I am not joking about the world ending. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced for some reason. Nope, all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale there for a few moments. Apparently the local universe wasn’t actually stable? Don’t ask me to go into too much detail. It would require both of us to have a few more college degrees than sense, and I at least lack them (both the degrees and the sense). Anyway, the energy/matter/wibbly wobbly strings were at a local minimum and not the universal minimum. Basically, what we took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake and when the dam busted so did, well, everything. Now here is where things go a bit off track with what normal meant before. You see magic is real, qi is real, gods are real. Not on old Earth mind you but souls pay little attention to time and space so we dreamed of it. In fact, the closer the shift in reality got to Earth, the closer our dreams got to the new reality. This is basically me tip toeing around the fact that it was a ‘System Apocalypse’. Reality became a video game, I became a dungeon, and this is my story. Doyle Huxley just wanted a normal life but as the above might clue you in on that just isn’t in the cards. He gets to experience a “Path Based System Apocalypse” and some early paths he takes, both literally and figuratively, lead to him becoming a dungeon. The aim is to release chapters once a week on Friday. Cursing will be avoided and no naughty adult action will take place in the story.

Tim the Engineer
Summoned against his will to a world of swords and magic, an engineering student struggles to find a way home under the shadow of a world devouring threat. ***************************** Updates: 5/13/19: Revisions to several chapters for clarity, grammar, and style. 4/29/19: A short side story and artwork has been added to the blog. 4/8/19: A Side Story has been updated on my new blog (every writer is required to have one). https://talesfromliahar.wordpress.com/ ***************************** “The summoning scenarios are broken down into groups of ten.” Emi Ito stated. “Don’t, don’t you dare say another word.” Muttered Genzo Uchida. His eyes had turned bloodshot and his hands shook with rage. “The first thirty…” “Shut up!” Genzo bellowed “How dare you help these disrespectful gaijin?” Flecks of spit and madness flew from his face, his fist raised ready to strike. But Emi did not flinch, instead she was about ready to continue when Yuma Takeuchi interrupted her. “Uchida, please,” her sweet sounding words could melt ice. “I think we will have a better chance of getting home if we all work together.” When she glanced up with her sleepy looking eyes at Genzo Uchida he deflated visibly. “Were not getting home.” Uchida said coolly. “Group summoning, large, that puts us in the 60 series. No one came to greet us after five minutes of arrival. That leaves scenarios 68 and 69. In scenario 68 there is something that binds the large group together; they are all classmates or a single family. But thanks to the gaijin” he spit out the word “I think we are scenario 69 with no way home.” Ikko Inoue’s eyes went wide, while Katsukno and Hayata started muttering to themselves. Tim took on a serious look and rubbed his scruffy chin. Emi maintained her stoic expression while trying to find something to refute. McKenzie glanced at Randall and giggled. Randall took the prompting of his teammate and followed up by approaching Genzo. “Uh, so we are in a sixty-nine?” “Yes.” Replied Genzo with the seriousness of someone who’s life was about to end. McKenzie covered her mouth and snickered. “You and me, were stuck in a sixty-nine situation?” Randall pushed with a grin. “Yes, we are all stuck in a sixty-nine scenario together!” Genzo retorted in anger. McKenzie fell on her butt laughing. “What the hell is so funny?” Demanded Genzo, whose face had turned red. “It’s a problem with the automatic translation.” Retorted Tim. Randall, who seemed unable to quit started in again “So, about this sixty-ni…” Genzo interrupted Randall with a swift punch to the face. But, because of their height difference it was a bit of an uppercut that left Randall rattled. Tim and Ikko moved to step in between the two, but Genzo showed no further hostility. Instead he just stared at his clenched fist with such intensity it grabbed the attention of the room. “I unlocked a skill.” He said bluntly. ***************************** This is not a light novel, but people who like light novels should enjoy the themes of this book. ***************************** A Map of the Region
