Felt:"how did you even get such a morbid dream in the first place!?"
Felt was slightly disturbed at the over detailement of her death in Subaru's dream.
But nonetheless she couldn't blame him for being disturbed as well from it.
Felt:"So,what about it then? I mean it's just a nightmare,you'll probably forget about it after some time any way.So why make a fuss about it?".
He seemed wary to explain himself,several thoughts running amok with utmost fury.An imaginary sound of clinking,an idea popped into his head.
Subaru:"I know this might seem a bit weird but....this particular dream...It kinda makes me worry.I know what I said is a bit vague,but hear me out."
Saying so he scratched his head with an index finger,slight and small sounds of rasping, similar to rubbing sand paper but much more undertoned,sounded out.
Subaru:"basically,it makes me very anxious.you know! The type of anxiety that makes you wanna....i don't know! Run? But you get it right!?"
Felt:"All that I'm getting is you being a massive baby!"
Those words struck a chord in Subaru's head,but none the less he must be tame and somewhat relaxed to do what he must do.
Whilst taking a long breath and gripping his track suit sleeves tightly to vent out his frustrations,he spoke out with a tired tone.
Subaru:"fine but you can quell this massive baby'sworries right?."
Hearing his words,felt assumed a thinking position,her's being one of holding her chin with an index and thumb finger,before frowning and wrinkling her lips.A cute frown en faced on her visage.
Sighing she relented and spoke out with a defeated tone.
Felt:"Fine,but where do you suppose we sleep then?"
Hearing her,a toothy grin formed on his face.
Subaru:"Where else but in this little safe haven ours?"
There was silence,but it only lasted two or so seconds before it was breached by two deadpanned voices.
Old man rom/Felt:"When did it become ours?"
Coughing on his own saliva,subaru looked towards them with a shocked and surprised face.
Subaru:"Ouch!"
Where did the family sense of sharing go!?
^^^~~^^^^^^~~^^^
What everyone found out that night was that a sleep over was the best choice they could have made.
As both felt and subaru squabbled in their blankets,unable to sleep,old man rom slept like a log.Though him being so, and releasing ear intruding snorings was the main reason for their sleepless nature.
But if this was the only case then they would never have thought of this option as one that was the best.
Not able to keep her temper,felt quickly decided to wrinkle the pillow she had,turning to her side and grasping it in a vice grip with her right hand,before throwing it onto old man rom's face,with a soft poof the comforting pillow impacted on top of old man rom's facial visage.
Waking him in the process,which seemed to have surprised felt herself for some reason.
And for that night,more or less all stayed awake and played around,subaru explaining the lore of some of his favourite video games along with the plot of some anime.
Some games were played,most made from knock-off DIY's but still they enjoyed the whole ordeal with bliss. Though the morning head ache from not sleeping was a bit annoying but the fact that it soon dissipated removes most regrets.
On that day felt left to do some stealing jobs whereas Subaru had a great idea that he soon started working on.
The day went by listlessly with nothing of note happening,which normally would most probably would have made Subaru slightly bored or off-put,but now it was something that he was truly grateful for,the only thing in his mind would be waiting for felt's return,which normally might take hours due to her not knowing the place or person she would need to steal from with confidence.
In the meanwhile Subaru started to knit a scarf for himself,along with some other ornaments for people to wear,if he were to sell these then the amount he could make would probably make it so that they would get some actual food on the table instead of some damn freaking LOAF OF BREAD!!
As he knit and crafted many ornaments,the morning sun glided over the top as the afternoon one and to the other side,as the closing evening sun took power over illumination with it's orange tint.
Subaru:"finally,it's done...*sigh*that took too damn long but l'm sure these will give me an hefty amount."
Sighing out the air of tiredness from his system he observed and inspected his own hand crafted creations.
There were several creations of his,ranging from mere kerchiefs to grandiose hair pins and ear rings.
Most prominent of which were only three.
First and foremost would be his orange scarf,it was truly bland with only but a single colour of orange.The cloth itself was very comfortable and seemed as though it would grant some one an aura of a king despite lacking creative diversity.But it being made for subaru,the most probable aura he would get would be a derpy one.
After all his atire is already foreign enough but with the added kingly scarf his visage overall would be the most strangest ever,even in his home world,but it would probably make him look better?
Taking the scarf in his hands he pocketed it inside his track suit,he wanted to surprise felt and old man Tom with this,he would probably do the same with the others as well.
If the first was devoid of colourful diversity then this one lacked any sort of blandness.
An hair pin of multitudes of colours.
A flower of rows and rows of petals, haphazerdly collected colours placed oh so gratifyingly that the enchantment was bewitching,in the middle was a small black dot by which the rows of colours sprouted out from it's rim,if that was not enough many a strands of cloth,greyish cyan,were jetting out in random directions with some randomised like placements,the number may be small but the significance of it's beauty was of no smallness.Two tails of cloth,one black and the other white drifted down from the flower's bottem.
The hair ornament being called a mere hair pin seemed like slanderment which non would find pleasing,it was of quite the large proportions as,if put on a child,it would surely cover a good portion of their head.
Subaru was most notably proud of this one and had even done a lot of hard work to make it,the time spent on it was of such magnitude that subaru doesn't even know how much time he spent,he only knows that there are several cuts on his hands and fingers along with a numbing pain encompassing the entirety of his arms and hands from shoulders and neck,his back was also hurting along with his.
Actually his whole body was in pain,doing this as fast and efficiently as possible along with doing it all day long,the amount of pain he garnered was enormous and his head was feeling kind of light.
Man....maybe I should have thought of taking a break or postponing it to tomorrow,ugh...I feel like vomiting.
A slight growl could be heard actually.Reminding him of the fact that he didn't eat anything for lunch and also that he basically skipped breakfast,only eating half of a single loaf of bread and drinking some milk.
.....
HOW THE HELL AM I HUNGRY AND FEEL LIKE VOMITING AT THE SAME TIME!?
*growl*
Ok,screw this! let's eat something first!
Forced by his hunger,subaru stood up abruptly,placing the grandiose hair pin on the table next to two ear rings,the third item of prominence.
The ear rings weren't actually that....hand made? Per say? most of all the things were already made and subaru just pieced them together to make something,it was disconnected from the freedom of making close to anything that sewing had,a ring,and some jewelry,sticking some other things together etcetera,etcetera.
He attached a silver colored metallic piece that resembled wavy cotton and attached serene dark blue gems to it daintily.It was truly something that was nit picked out of his other creations,being one of the prominent three but was something that he was the least proud of.
Looking at it subaru wondered why ninita even gave him things like these in the first place but soon endorsed it to ninita just thinking that subaru wouldn't make any ear rings since he only informed ninita of his ability to sew,not like he actually knew how to mold iron or any other metal per say.
Subaru,still hungry and tired was soon lit ablaze with determination and promptly sat down with a thud and acquired more cloth material and fetched himself a sewing needle.
Sure this won't be much but it is better than being completely unsatisfied I guess.
Thinking so,the hungry and tired subaru went to work on the earings again,forgetting about the pain that had been racking his body for the past hours.
It didn't take long to finish but either way it was done before the coming orange tint completely took over the sky.
Subaru:"Haaaah! I.am.done!"
Infront of him were the same silver metal and blue gem littered ear rings but now each had two rectangular tails at the end of the metallic waves drooping downwards freely and elegantly.
The tails were white in colour which soon-ly turned to a dark blue at the bottom.The hardest thing for subaru to do was making it seem like the white was turning into the serene dark blue instead of making it just a giant contrast.And his hard work had indeed payed off,sure if it was a painting then it could look several times better but the almost indistinguishable sight of blending with the limited amount of coloured cloth is nothing short of sheer amazing talent.
Finally done with every thing subaru placed all the items in a bag and again began to ready his food.
He brought some bread to the table and sat down and started eating,grimacing at the crumbly and crude texture of the bread and throwing away some bread that caught mold in the meanwhile.
This disgusting bread is going to be the death of me!
^^^~~^^^^^^~~^^^
Despite it being a bit late subaru went to the capital and tried to broker a deal with someone willing to sell his items,though it was almost night he still went on for the search because he was told by ninita back then that there would be some merchant that would be willing to sell things even at the dead of night.Though he did find some people,they instantly rejected him by his face value and didn't even wait to see his products in the first place.
He did meet up with some one finally at the deadof night like ninita said and was stuck with them for a bit,going on a little adventure with a merchant one could say,after the adventure ended the person accepted his items and went away telling subaru to come tomorrow evening to get his money and even told the adress of the shop.
Apparently merchants also have shops,i always thought that they were travelling merchants who go around the world just selling whatever. I guess there's a reason why people specifically put 'travelling' before merchants some times.It's a shame that he won't be giving the money to me personally though.
After finally returning home he was rushed to the ground by a blonde mop of hair.He resoundingly fell to the wooden floor and slightly hit his head,a bit dazed he looked towards the one that assaulted him.
As the blurry image cleared a clinging felt was soon visible,her blond hair touching his neck and chin whereas her lips,nose and the entirety of her face were closed to his chest.
He smiled warmly before petting her hair,the hair was a bit tangled but was mostly smooth,so whilst he ruffled he was sure to gingerly clear out some tangles.
As he did,he waited.
Felt was never the one to always stay silent and since she was still clinging to him, withelding herself from making noise and favouring silence for once,he knew that something was askew and so he waited for her to speak.
The silence ran as a river of hot and yellow magma,slow,almost unsounding yet at times the magma pops with fresh tears running out with sizzles.
The warm tears of the blond were felt through his track suit as the concern inside his heart grew stronger by the minute as his heart beated in an erratic rhythm.
Felt:"I thought.....you died."
The small croaky voice of felt came to and greeted his wary heart.
Me? Died? What is felt talking about!?
He could feel his heart beat against his lungs and ribs by the time the realisation dawned on him.
Wait....did they find out about that-that power? How!? It's just too random and too early! Wait maybe there's something else to it.
Subaru:"What does that mean felt?"
He wanted to say it in a joking manner to ease her and his heart but the direness of the situation clung too tightly around his throat and was too heavy on his eyes and lips to do so.
As felt lifted her head the sprawled blond hair soon straightened downwards by gravity as it smoothly trailed against his now tear-wet chest.
Her face looked pale as a ghost and tears were running down in an hazy manner the blood-red pupils of hers being discarded into the background as the blood shottedness of her eyes take over.
Felt:"it was like you said.The...house,our house was completely destroyed,and it was al-all bloody with some sort of *sniff* spike like thing sticking into the ground every where."
Those words warmed his wary heart in more ways than one.The fact that his dreams were truly premonitions....or worse.And the truth that he was able to save themselves from that fate as well.
A small toothy smile broke loose in the wrongest of situations but yet the glistening of white shone enough to lighten the darkened place a bit more.
Subaru:"It's a good thing I saved our asses didn't I?"
And thats my first achievement as this world's hero!
