75 What's on Saturday?
"What should I call you? Cloudy? Sky? How about Aruna? Hm? A mix between my name and Zuna?" Arius lay on the floor watching the ball of white fluff.
The moment of bliss was shortly interrupted by a barrage of knock at the front door. Whoever was outside seemed absolutely desperate to get in. Arius would have ignored it if it weren't so urgent.
The moment Arius opened the door, Tibet strode in. The man looked left and right before yelling, "Damn it, Hazuna! You'll get what's coming to 'ya!"
'Oh, Zuna must have played around with the Aphrodisiac.' Arius immediately thought.
The door was still open as another one came rushing in, laughing to his heart's content. "Y'all should'a seen it!"
The person of interest finally came down the stairs, with a smile that send a shiver down one's spine. Jeffery had to stop himself from patting her on the back to signify a job well done.
"Hazuna! You dip sh*t!" Tibet was hysterical.
Jeffery almost couldn't breath "Girl, get you a man that looks at you the way my bro looked at that stack of pancakes!"
"Pfft-!" Arius was close to falling on the floor.
"I'm not f*cking around anymore! I'm so done with this, delete my number from your phone!" It wasn't a joke this time, but everyone still seemed to take it as one. It wasn't until Tibet said something else that the room became weird. "Forget Saturday. I'm calling it off. We're no longer friends."
"Ah, what?" Zuna stared blankly. Her jokes may have been too harsh, but she still considered him one of her best friends.
Jeffery suddenly stopped laughing. "...Tibet?"
"She crossed the line." He had been through a lot, it was questionable how exactly this time was worse than every other. Nonetheless, one could guess that it simply seemed less like a joke than the rest.
"Tibet..." Zuna was immediately regretful. In the past, she never learned to hold back, even after regretting her actions thousands of times before.
The almost middle aged man had cooled down after his fit of anger, then he turned to leave. The air was still, and Zuna clenched her hands into fists.
"You're screwed in the head." One last sentence was said before he disappeared out the door.
Arius was confused. 'What's Saturday?' The question didn't leave him even as he focused himself on the situation at hand. He watched as Zuna's face changed. He took note of Jeffery running out after his brother, yelling about how he should stop overreacting. Arius was left in the room with Zuna and a puppy, and one of them was on the verge of tears.
"Come on now, It'll be okay..." Arius walked forward to comfort her, he noticed that she was trying to hold in the tears, and how white her knuckles were turning.
"I know..." She looked down at the floor until he couldn't see her face. She spoke shakily, with big gasps for air as if she were to begin sobbing soon. "No... but... I did it again."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm screwed up. Asrael was right, I have problems." Her arms came up and she hugged herself, then she stepped away to go up the stairs. Though she was stopped by two arms that pulled her into a warm embrace.
"It's okay to be messed up."
"Liar." She looked up at him with her eyes brimming with tears. "I'm almost as bad as Asrael."
"You're better than me..." Arius heart hurt when he saw her this way.
Zuna leaned her head against his chest, in an attempt to hid her face. She remained quiet though, probably because she had half a mind to not say 'I know I'm better than you.'
Arius spoke again. "While I wasted years trying to die, you were probably off somewhere happily climbing a tree." He felt her stir between his arms at that notion, and so he continued a bit sorrowfully. "Although you lack some common sense, at least you haven't tried to kill yourself."
"How do you know I haven't tried?" She choked, yet still sounded slightly better.
"You would have succeeded if you tried." Arius smiled a bit as he thought about it. "Even if you can't die, you would probably find a way. Also, your ability is only healing, and I haven't seen many fatal scars on you."
