'Hi, so ah... here's the deal. I created you. By that I mean I've been watching from 'above' for some time now. Keeping an eye on you, yadda yadda-
Those weren't easy or simple words to hear, nor had the explaination been short by any means. By the end, I watched Nikolas stare down at his shoes from the park bench we had taken up for the discussion. His hands were tucked in his pockets, seemingly a mixture of shocked, worried, and confused by it all. Poor kid, and doesn't even know what's coming.
“So, what do you think?”
“I’m… confused, I guess.”
“How so?”
“It’s just hard to get a grasp on, is all.”
“But do you believe me?”
“Somehow… yeah. I think I do. I mean,
I’ve seen and heard crazy enough things lately.
...so why not this?”
“Even if you’re doubting right now,
just trust me on it.”
“Tell me something only I might know.”
“There’s a punch card for a coffee place in your wallet right now.”
“You could’ve seen it showing or something.”
“There’s three punches left on it.
You'll order a regular medium roast and put sugar in it.”
“Alright, I give. I’ll 'believe' you.”
- - - - - - - - - -
“I’m glad. So, do you have any thoughts,
first impressions about me?”
“You're not really what I would’ve expected?
Not that I ever expected anything, but if I did."
“...And?”
“You're really short.”
“You got anything else or what?”
“Sorry. I guess, I dunno.
I didn’t have any expectations.
In my defense though, this whole thing
is kind of freaky.”
“Yeah... alright.
What about questions you have?
About either of us.”
"So you 'made' me...
somethin' like that, right?
Why'd you do it?"
"To be honest you were a parody at first.
I started liking the idea after a while."
"Wait, what??"
"No kidding, man.
I was just joking and laughing
until suddenly you were all too real. And here we are."
"Is that even a good thing, or should I be insulted?
I'm kind of at a loss here."
"I'd call it a good thing.
It means you came from a pretty good mindset,
after all." (Sorry Kei)
"Yeah, I guess if you say so."
- - - - - - - - - -
“...Do you know the name of the demon?”
“Possibly.”
“If you did, would you tell me?”
“In all honesty, no.”
“Why not..?”
“You’ve got to figure that one out on your own.
I’ll help when I can.”
“But what if I don’t- what happens then?”
“You’ll be just fine.”
“That- It doesn’t mean that I’ll-”
“Nik. Chill. Seriously.
It’ll work itself out in time.”
- - - - - - - - - -
"Why' Omega'?"
"I ah... honestly I'm not sure anymore.
It stemmed from the 'parody' I'd mentioned before."
"Weird. I'd always sorta wondered."
"Use it to your advantage when you don't want
just everybody and anybody knowing your name.
And be a lamb and grow into it somehow."
"Uh... will do? I dunno."
- - - - - - - - - -
"…What about my brother. Will I see him again?"
"Ah... don't give up hope on him,
just yet. And where he's at, he's doing just fine.
He hasn't forgotten about you or anything."
"Well... then why'd you have me alone?
You could've at least gave me a guy, or a girl,
or… even a dog or something."
"Sorry, man.
Not everything's completely under my control.
I can't always be a miracle worker."
"-Ouch."
"Ahah. Not like that, I promise."
- - - - - - - - - -
“How about a break for now.”
“Right now? Seriously?”
“Yeah. We’ll come back to it.”
“When?”
“Soon, just sit tight I promise.
Keep doing what you’re doing kid,
keep your head up and don’t let that demon win.”
“Alright, I guess…”
