25 Emo One (1/2)

”I'm not leaving.” Asrael didn't move from his spot in the corner.

”Yes you are.” Arius told him as he lifted Dante up towards Zuna. Then he jumped down, walking towards Asrael.

”Why do you even want me to come?” Asrael's speaking was close to a growl.

”A selfish reason.” Arius answered truthfully as he moved one of the bunny ears out of his face. He didn't feel that Asrael was really as bad as he originally thought.

”You can't even respect my decision not to follow you!” Asrael said with angst.

”What do I have to do to make you come with?” Arius asked gently.

”There is nothing you could do that will make me willing to follow you!” Arsael spat out.

”Then I guess you won't be coming willingly.” Arius stepped forward to grab Asrael, the younger man had no way of stopping him as he was brought up and over Arius's shoulder.

”Again!?” Asrael was too exasperated to struggle.

”You brought this upon yourself.” Arius told him.

Despite Asraels protests, Arius still managed to get him up through the hole in the ceiling. Though in doing so, Asrael lost his black crown. It had fallen all the way down to the last floor.

”No!” Asrael had screamed.

”I'll get you a new one, just shut up.” Arius climbed up as well.

”Can we leave now?” Eirik wanted to get out of the bunny costume as soon as possible.

”Depends.” Arius looked at Asrael. ”Do you have anything you want to bring with us?”

”No.” Asrael said with an angsty undertone. His face change however, when Arius moved to grab him. He dodged. ”Don't- I can walk myself!”

”Alright.” Arius smiled in victory. ”Just tell me when you need some more motivation.”

The group made their way out of the building. They were all wearing a bunny onesie, all except one who was wearing all black and dragging his feet.

Arius then seemed to have realized something, every immortal he's met has a certain aura. They were like a different species, of course they kind of were, but it was more like a feeling he got.

Arius had the feeling that Asrael didn't feel as misplaced as he looked. Actually, since he could remember, Arius hadn't felt like he truly belonged till now. Eirik had kicked him into a wall once, but that was water under the bridge. Although, he'd never forgiven anyone so fast.

It simply felt like the group belonged together, and it was a weird feeling since they had only just met. There was something missing though, and Arius didn't know what it was, it could be anything really.
