Shai has one last day of rest before tomorrow. The invagan begins,
Shai sat in the kitchen chair eating with Eurus as he made them her faviroiut. A warm sandwich with soup with it, Shai hummed eating feeling content with the meal as she felt Erurs gaze on her, his fingers drumming over the table with his leg fidgeting, Shai stopped eating her gaze could stare right throught him Eurus shifted a little hoping she wouldnt relize his true intentions,
"Stop Eurus being worried about me won't help you,"
Eurus mutter a curse under his breath as he stares at Shai bashfuly, he moved his food away from him not hungry as he was before, worried thats all he could feel right now, before he could at least help her in some way this time he could only be a shoulder to lean on, Eurus wanted to reach out taking her hadn into his but that worried him immensely, would that creep her out or would she just think of it as a friendly jester full of emptiness, Eurus so stuck in his head didnt notice Shai getting up walking to his seat, she saw the look of conflation, Shai placed a hand on his arm drawing him out of his head Eurus light blue eyes stared into her brown ones,
"Dont worry of the what ifs Eurus... I've,"
Shai looked away for a moment, trying to find the words of encouragement. When Eurus placed his hand on hers, Shai looked at their hands with an awed expansion when Eurus spoke wordless blessing to her
"Shai, i know i have told you to lean on me, i will be there to catch you, but this time, i dont know if i can be there the way i should... the way i want to be,"
He looked up at her standing up from his chair, he takes her chin, keeping her gaze on him. He flinched, seeing her shocked exasperation. He still stared in her eyes,
"I dont think i could be there through the invasion, Shai,"
Eurus felt his throat get dry as he thought he thought what he wanted to say next, he layed his forehead against hers and said,
"But i will be here after it's all done, holding you up as i have twice before. In the end, i will be there as an anchor or your rock. The one to hold you up when you can't stand on your own feet,"
Shai didn't know what to make of this, he has been te one to hold her up but not placing his head on her cherishing her like this, Shai moved her hand to his chest pushing him away slightly moving him away,
"You'll be here for me after i come back? Is this why you've been more worried about this after talking with Judy about the invasion?"
Eurus tried to look away from Shai, but she grabbed his chin, turning his gaze back on her, Shai eyes filled with concern,
"You already know of the invasion we've planned, Eurus i."
Eurus stopped her saying, "I remember talking with them, arranging the invasion Shai but i can't be there with you, I can't do anything to help you, when you were fighting Herman i helped in a way and took care of you during it. but now im not sure i will be there through it with you,"
Eurus let out, feeling as if a ten ton weight got off of him. As the full acknowledgment of his words hit him, he felt his arm shake as he waited for Shai to speak,
"Eurus, you've been my rock since i got here, and i know you have my back. You'll be there after it's all done, but Eurus, i dont know how it will go, but i have a clue,"
"You mean you have some ideas,"
"Yes... but there all problabilitys Eurus,"
Shai said as she hugged Eurus he froze until he smiled. This rimends him of when she fist appeared. Eurus slowly held her as they stood there, Shai looked down and felt scared but escited. To her, it's a dilemma.
"Eurus, this isn't going to be easy,"
Shai scoffed and said, "It could never be easy. Why would it be a character plot that can not be made without it? It makes the main character have a break god forbid,"
Eurus couldnt hold his laugh and his body shaked from him laughing, Shai sofent at his laugh memorizing how he laughed how his body shook, Eurus pulled away from her and smiled at her as he didnt realize he grabbed her chin,
"Yeah, the authors can be that way,"
He grins at her as Shai glances down at his hand holding her chin, Shai gives him a soft smile before pulling back,
"Do you feel any better after talking, Eurus?"
Eurus stopped smiling and looked at her in thouthg, to Shai he looked frustrated but it wast that hes thankful, almost in reverence.
"Yes, i do... Thanks, Shai. i just,"
"Need to talk with her,"
They jumed loking behind them seeing some figuer behind them, it wasnt the figuer with his calm damner and smooth voice as they first thought nor the other figuer with his mocking tone, his jovial laughter or his sarcastic comeback, it was a figher they haven seen before. On that sat in the chair behind them, Shai moved her hand to her him and held onto Eurus moving him around for her to face the unknown figuer, she felt the weapon appear as she grabbed onto ot pointing at the unknown figuer, the weapon glowed brightly at that figure as he chuckled,
"For a figure stuck in a trap, you are really talkative,"
From what it said they knew it was a he as he moved how he sat leaning towards them his elbos on his legs with his cloak moving up showing a socked grin and a stubly chin, a grin that put the cheshire cat to shame, Shai felt Eurus grip tighten as he whispered eonugh for Claire to hear him through this phone, when it broke with just the figuer saying,
"That my boy won't work with me around,"
The figuer looked back at Shai seeing the wepoan in her hand as she glared at him noticing the wepona reacting to there voice shaking and glowing brighter and if she listened closer she could hear the figures voice thats trapped in the weapon, saying a faint name but she nor Eurus heard it,
"You are the holder that Apate is worried about,"
He laughed his boding, moving from his laughter, Shai eyes squinted, angry, she didn't know this figure or its intentions, but it knew the weapon was a trap... and knows about Apate. Shai placed her hand on the trigger,
"Who the fuck are you?"
Shai snared as she felt her eyes burn as her vines start to glow gold, the unknown smiled at her pointing at her arm, with a sick giggle he tells them,
"You already have some of his power,"
He shivered as the weapon shook the trigger threatening to be pulled moving ever so slightly, He chuckled placing his hands up and sits up, he glared at the weapon and spoke with a silver tongue,
"Im sorry but she made me that day and after words i don't regret what i have done,"
He pointed at the weapon which reacted pulling the trigger for Shai, but no bullet came out, he flinched ready to move if the weapon shot him his eyes widen under the cloak and his breath caught in his throat, his hand shook from the realization, even Shai cant control that damn martyr in that trap. Shai looked at the weapon she could see how anger that figure trapped is. Shai tightened her grip as she mutters to the weapon,
"Don't try to make anything here. It will destroy the house. We dont need that weapon,"
Shai said as the weapon shook trying to talk with her, the unknown figure observed them the weapon trying to talk with Shai to him was amusing, he got us taking a step towards them, Shai, the weapon and Eurus froze, Shai glared at him raising the weapon to meet his head, she frown feeling her anxiety flare up with the adrenalin stopping her from really feeling the anxiety rattel her body, Eurus looked from behind Shai wrapping his arms around her waist he glared at the unknown figure when he walked to Shai,
"Look, i just wanted to give you a warning,"
He said with her arms open to them, he grinned at them as he removed his cloak showing them what they are, a man with long hair and glowing white eyes his face having a beard that laid to his chest, the weapon reacted violently, it shakes as it went to pull the trigger,
"Don't think you have Apate so easily figure out,"
He said that the weapon had enough pulling the trigger. It sent a bullet at him when he grins, a portal appered behind him as he waved goodbye to the wepoan,
