As he opened them again he waved off the runes in dijection and set back up looking around himself and just waiting for some other oponents. After few more chalangers he got attacked by 3 popular streamers but crushed them just like others.
So boring.
With that he left the dreamscape.
As he opened his eyes he noticed a second dreamscape pod next to his.
Is Nephis using one as well?
He shrugged and glanced inside seeing her in the pod.
I guess she is.
He smiled and headed out of the basement and took hot shower.
When he got out. He tied a towel around his waist and left the bathroom.
Sunny?
Oh, hi Neph. Are you gonna use a shower?
Neph?
Nephis shook her head stopping herself from staring at his slim but muscular body. His serpent was coalest around his forearm making it stand out even more then usual but most surprising was...
What?
What do you mean...What?
Why is Luna on your shoulder?
She had her bath as well...obviously.
So she took a shower with you?
No... She was in the bath I was in the shower. We have it separate did you forget?
Nephis just continued staring at him.
Are you going to take a shower?
I donno, maybe.
Sunny shrugged and snapped his finger remembering something.
Oh, by the way how did the magazine cover go?
Y-yeah.
What?
I am taking a shower.
She pushed pass him into the shower and locked herself inside.
Sunny just watched her do that and said more to himself then to others.
o..kay.
He only remembered her burning red cheeks which confused him regardless and so he just scractchd the back of his head.
What was that about?
Luna pawed to where Nephis went.
Sunny looked at Luna and asked.
She is embarrassed? Why?
Luna did not replay and instead jumped onto ground and headed somewhere downstairs.
Sunny put on some comfortable cloaths which consisted of short balck t-shirt
and some short sweatpants. With that he headed downstairs where he sat on their porch and put his legs up onto the railing in front of him. Luna laid on the grass in front of the porch. Even tho he thought he spent long hours in the dreamscape it was still only early afternoon at best. He took a cup of tea which was given to him by Creepy and unlocked his phone and started to look through the pictures on the app having Kai on the other line explaining to him how it worked.
So I can see the most popular pictures on this judging by the arrow up?
Pretty much yeah. Also Sunny. I think you should talk to lady Nephis.
Why?
I mean you are dating right?
Dating?
I mean you are a couple right?
Still not officialy. Only you guys know about it...
Sunny you live together, people are not stupid...more less. They will make their opinions about it and most will think you are in a relationship. Still...I'd advise talking to her about...
I know you are not telling me something Kai.
How do you know that, if you don't mind me asking.
Luna told me.
Oh...is she listening?
You are on speaker I don't have a headphones nor headset so yes she doesn't really have a choice does she?
So what about Lady Nephis?
She is taking a shower...she won't hear us right now.
So, Kai? What are you not telling me.
As he said that he put his feet down and straighted his sitting position while looking into Kai's direction.
Not to mention you could have done this
To contact me
Sunny used a link that he had with his shadow clan members and directed it to Kai only.
I don't know how to adjust it to talk to you only, Sunny.
I see. Well, I know you will figure it out sooner or later. Back to to topic...
Kai let out a long sigh and said.
Just press on the link… I mean text I send you it will get to the front page. It is probably still only available to those with conncections with the audition company and since I also audition for it. Well you know.
Sure, give me a second.
Yeah there are pictures and the title is: Audition of 3 legendary heroes. Rised by Wolfs, Changing star, Song of the fallen. Buy one get 2 for free.
So? What did I just read?
Read lower.
Audition for a.........
Sunny?
Swimsuits?
He said that using link.
I just thought you should know. Well later.
With that he hung up.
Sunny slowly scrolled lower and when he saw the picture he dropped his cup only for a Gloomy to catch it with a sigh but when he looked what Sunny saw he also dropped the cup letting it shather on the ground slightly breaking Sunny from his stunned silence.
He looked at Gloomy who suddenly shook in fear and even tho Happy, Creepy and Haughty weren't in their coreporeal forms they covered behind Creepy who was despretly trying to act extra polite. Gloomy vanished into shadows as well.
Sunny looked down on his phone again blushing.
In the picture were Nephis in the middle and both Effie and Cassia from her sides in very revealing cloathing.
He scrolled lower and saw a pictures of them in separate.
His phone: you have saved an image.
Sunny looked into Kai's direction again and slowly stood up
Kai. I know you see me. Answer me.
Y-yes?
Damn he sounds scary for some reason.
Look at that you know how to use it. Anway. How do I set a background?
On your phone?
Wasn't that obvious?
Kai calmly instructed him and said.
Why did you… Sunny, did
Kai looked into Sunny's direction but was blocked by thick black barrier.
He cut the link as well. Well that was...interesting.
Smile crept up on Sunny's face as he confirmed his wallpaper.
Meanwhile in the shower water from Nephis is evaporating faster then it can touch her skin because she was burning from embarasment.
She cuddle into a ball finally calming herself letting cold water calm her down.
Maybe he didn't see it. They did say they will post it only if the decision is unanimous or at least 2 out of 3… oh no.
Nephis dried her hair and walked downstair also dressed in comfortable cloaths which consisted of a white t-shirt and grey short seatpants.
As she descended down she spotted Sunny is strangely good mood sitting on their sofa looking at his phone. She approached him right as his phone turned off and asked.
Why are you in such a good mood?
Sunny's smile widen and said slowly.
Oh you know, I found something nice.
She snatched his phone and could not find anything so she stared at the screen until it turned black and once she was handing it back to him she noticed his background on his phone as well as on his locked screen. It was her in that swim suit.
Her grib loosen for a split second which Sunny used to take his phone back.
How? H-How do you have that picture? I-is it public?
I don't know. Do you want it to be?
You can lie?
I used all my shadows to absorb the pain for that. It still hurt like hell but it was worth it.
As for your question. If I say yes?
Then you are laying.
And if I say I can't stop it?
I will ask. Why?
They need 2 of 3 to agree. But that's besides the point. How do you have that?
So you need 2 to agree? I guess I should ask other 2 to say yes what do you say.
Nephis froze.
You can ask them?
Well they are members of my clan aren't they? We are all linked after all. Still I think Effie would say: Yes regardless of what I'd say and Cassia...well I will leave it to you to persuade her.
Why don't you ask her.
Do it yourself. You have her number don't you?
You are linked.
So? I have no reason to ask her anything. Anyway to your first question.
I have some great contacts what can I say.
Do I know that person?
Who knows?
Are you protecting that person right now not saying everything?
Yes.
Sunny stood up and walked to Nephis getting closer to her.
Sunny smiled calmly.
Do you want to go to the pool? I mean the recreation with sauna and stuff like that. With the names like you and me we can get inside and keep it to ourselves if you want to?
What about your other plans?
This takes priority.
Nephis blushed and turned away blushing he moved her chin back to him and kissed her.
She slowly nodded.
Okay.
Sunny smiled and headed back outside while saying through his link to Effie and Cassia.
I dare you to say yes...
His tone was cold not a hint of amusement
Could you delete it?
No.
Why?
Because you are super sexy in that.
Nephis blushed again and leaned on the frame of their glass window to their porch and aske Sunny.
Where are you going now?
I have an audition myself. For the same company no less.
Are you going alone?
No, with Kai.
Nephis froze.
What? Kai? You will have audition with Kai?
Yeah, why?
N-nothing.
Sunny shrugged and took his jacked from behind Nephis headed out.
For some reason she looked strangely excited.
I wonder….
She blushed and layed on theit sofa while hugging a pillow hiding her face.
This is such a weird feeling.
Meanwhile on the other side of the city. Both Kai and Sunny were instructed to change into their swimsuit they were more of a swim tranks but you get the point. While they were changing Sunny cursed.
Kai looked at him and asked.
What is it?
Well My Serpant is evolving every time I have a higher rank, class or mastery and right now it is almost impossible to hide it. What do I do now.
I do have a suggestion but I would have to use mine as well.
Well we can just say it is like a manifestation of your ability?
And what will you say?
Same thing. That it is my weapon.
Who would believe you?… despite it being true.
More like who would not believe me?
I guess that could work.
And so they did their shoot with the biggest hit being Sunny and Kai standing side by side shoulder over shoulder. With massive serpent stretching from Kai's left side of his back and ending most of it's body and it's beautiful head on Sunny's back.
This is so embarrasing.
You thing so? It could have been worse.
How?
Well we could have had femele partners instead to present it as a pair collection.
Sunny stared blankly at Kai petrified.
eeee Sunny?
Nevermind I think this was a great one. Also you said that I can keep this? That's so cool, free stuff basically.
When Sunny finally got home he was surprised to see Nephis on her phone as if frozen in place.
Sunny smiled and used his shadow dance to appear in front of her without making a sound and snatched her phone from her hands.
W-what?
Hi Neph. So let's see what are you looking at.
NO! Give it back.
She grabbed the back of his t-shirt but he slipped out of it as if was natural thing to do while still holding her phone.
She stared at him and now reached for his waist pulling him closer to her.
I know you could have escaped. Why didn't you.
Getting pulled closer by such a beauty like you? Why would I dodge?
This beauty of yours is not always all smiles. I have torns as well.
I know that. That's why I love you so much. So have you thought about my proposal for the sauna?
Don't you go naked into those?
I have you looked it up or something because I had no idea honestly.
No, Cassia told me.
so?
Sure I will look into my schedule. She took her phone and turned Sunny around pushing him closer to their wall.
He hugged her and dissapeared into shadows appearing in their bedroom.
How much selfcontrol do you have now Sunny?
Slim to none.
Well I can't really blame you after all you are with a star of the awakened warriors.
My oh my how lucky am I.
He pulled her closer their lips slowly touching and for a few moments they just enjoyed it while keeping each other close.
Sunny took of Neph's shirt and neph just smiled looking at him pleasently.
They were about to continue but their bell rung.
Are you expecting someone?
No, but….I know who it is.
They dressed up again and walked downstairs.
Who is it?
Mia.
