87 Confession (1/2)

Team Natalia was taking their usual break after a long session of hunting. They were all huddled up around a fireplace eating some of Natalia's homemade cooking that she had stored inside her storage ring.

”Hmmmmm!! Delicious! This shit fucking slaps!! Natalia! You're cooking is amazing!! You would be a great wife for whoever is lucky enough!!” Moby said, devouring all of Natalia's food.

”You're always teasing me! Umm… It's not that good… You are just over exaggerating…” Natalia nervously retorted, covering her face that was redder and brighter than a burning sun.

”I agree with my buddy Moby here! This cooking is absolutely delish!” Travis added, only receiving a simple nod and a smile from Natalia.

Jay just looked at Moby's cheerful face with contempt, trying to hide it under his poker face.

'You moved on from Haley so fast! Didn't you! You fucking man whore!' He inwardly thought.

Ever since Moby revealed his power, Jay and Travis had been treating him a lot nicer with a lot more respect, exactly like he expected them to act. This made his time around them a little more bearable, even though he knows that they were most likely doing so as to damage control just in case he wanted to take revenge on them for their previous harsh treatment of him and to just suck up to him in general. They only had a limited supply of regeneration potions and they needed all the extra protection they could get as they now lacked a healer.

Suddenly, a ringing noise sounded, it was what he was waiting for all day long.

”Sorry guys! It's an emergency! Gotta go take a leak! It should not take too long! I'll be back in a bit! Don't eat my portion or else!” Moby said, sprinting out of the cave in a panic.

Every time Moby said that he wanted to take a piss, Natalia was always really tempted to go spy on him with her camera just for a chance to catch a glimpse or even take a picture of his mighty Katana. Out of all the pictures and video's that Natalia had in her stash, that was the only yet one of the most important things missing. However, she never found the chance to do so as if she says that she also wants to go at the same time as Moby, it would seem really suspicious and creepy which is something she does not want to come off as, especially to Moby.

3 minutes later…

Moby walked back into the cave, looking more refreshed and happy than usual. He sat back down around the fireplace in his usual spot right beside Natalia. He greeted his team once more before quickly gobbling down the rest of his food. Then, he slowly turned his head, looking Natalia straight in the eyes before saying.

”Ummm… Natalia… I've been meaning to tell you something for a long time… Mind if we talk in private?” Moby said, looking at Natalia straight in the eye with a mellow yet serious stare.

Before she had the chance to cover up her beat red face, Moby grabbed her by the hand, dragging her with him outside of the cave.

”Follow me! This shouldn't take too long” Moby said with the voice of an angel and a smile on his face, his red-tinted black hair dancing in the wind.

In Natalia's eye, he looked like an angel sent down from heaven just for her. She felt like a princess being swept away by her prince charming.

”Have fun love birds!” Travis teased from behind.

”It-it's not what you think! This is some serious strategy plan that Moby wanted to discuss with me! R-right!” Natalia nervously replied leading to Moby giving her only a simple nod and a smile as a reply.

”We have some seriously urgent matters to discuss! Nothing more! We will be back in a bit!” Moby said with a serious face.

However, in Natalia's eyes, he looked like a charming knight in shining armour trying to protect the honour of his queen.

”Whatever you say! Well! You two have fun with your serious discussion then!” Travis yelled at Moby and Natalia who were walking away in the distance.

Jay just stayed silent as he looked at Natalia and Moby walk out of the cave with absolute disgust. He felt his stomach turning, making him want to barf out everything he just ate but he somehow managed to keep it under his poker face.

Moby and Natalia walked through the darkness of the night, no one speaking a single word. They were still both holding hands, Moby leading the way with a mesmerizing and beautiful purple aura surrounding his green eyes that he had previously explained to her was a way to use his ability to enhance his vision allowing him to see clearly at night. She was too entranced by Moby's looks to even say a word as she drifted into her own fantasies and let her imagination run wild.

Luckily, as they walked, they met no beasts at all as they had already cleared out most of the ones that resided around the cave.

After a few minutes of walking, they reached a clearing in the woods where Moby stopped and let go of Natalia's hand before looking her straight in the eyes with a blushed face and a nervous look.

”Ummm… I'm so sorry for dragging you here… Especially in front of everyone else like that… I am sorry…” Moby nervously said, scratching his right cheek.

”N-no! Don't apologize! I-I really don't mind at all!” She replied, playing with her long silver hair.

Moby looked at the ground, taking a deep breath before standing up straight, looking Natalia straight in the eyes before saying.

”Natalia!! I think I am in love with you!!” He said with confidence and a firm resolve.
