[PP-NK-F4] An Old Acquaintance <<Mossino & Beatbox>>

[Mossino 0]

It was a cold, cold night on floor four. Snow was already falling and the sun had been set. It covered the streets, and made everything shiny and white in the moonlight. Though, something was special this night. A shop had remained closed and empty for months upon months, as the girl who ran it had disappeared for…reasons no one ever knew. Not even her bestest of friends and lovers knew where she was. Enough time had passed for pretty much everyone to forget about it, and that was around the time she had returned.

And on this night, there was a light on in the Honeymoon Café. For the first time in months, there was a light on in the back. The small bakers shop, ran by the French woman little people knew, was…open? Of course, no one would know who was in there, only that it was for once, open.

Twas a cold day as Beatbox had found himself back onto the fourth floor once more... time had ticked by since the last time he was ever here... heck, the last thing he remembered about this floor was the time he spent with Alisa... man did he miss that girl sometimes. After a long day of training he had continued to move onwards with his life away from the constant grind that he must accomplish to become stronger and stronger... he had grown a little hungry and was looking for a good place to eat, and most stores weren't really open this late at night. "Shoot." he said to himself as he looked around for any store that was open, then he had found a store disregarding the name that was on the door anyways... he saw a light in there through the window... and the door was unlocked, he figured to see if it was potentially open. He walked in through the door with a voice to exclaim outwards to the room over "H-hello? Anyone here?" he asked, his familiar Ocarina was on his head looking around and sniffing in many directions in the darkened room.

You know, something about this café seemed so oddly familiar. It was like nothing had been touched for months. Not dusty, this game wasn’t that realistic, but it seemed like there should have been. There was an empty fireplace and a homey…maybe French vibe to the area.

There was a girl in the back, and she was holding herself over the counter. She was bewildered, anxious, scared. She had just made it away from a horrible, horrible situation that made her lose months of her life. She just made it back to her territory, her home. Over the time, she had been forced to remove all her friends, and never talk to them again. She had fallen out with everyone, and felt horrible for it. She barely knew how to cope, and she was close to tears.

So, when the door she thought she looked opened, and the familiar bells jingled she groaned. She wasn’t ready to talk to anyone, Christ, who could it be?

 

And so, a distinctly French voice called from the kitchen. “Vhat? Sorry ve are closed right now…” Wait…that accent was so similar?

 

After the voice called a few footsteps were heard as a girl started to come to the door.

Beatbox had waited for a response... but the response was not one he was expecting... it almost brought tears to his eyes on the realization who it was. It was a french accent... and it sounded so vaguely familiar... he took a deep breath as he felt his heart start pumping again... she had been missing for so long, he figured they had broken up due to her disappearance... he thought she didn't want to speak to him, he wanted to place a smile on his face but her voice didn't seem... too happy, matter of fact he had gotten extremely worried, without a second thought he started to move forward towards the kitchen "Alisa? Is that you?!" he yelled outwards to the distance, eventually meeting her halfway as she was making her way to the door. He looked outwards in the hallway where they stood away from each other, he couldn't believe it... it was Alisa, tears began to form in his eyes "I-it is you... A-alisa... I-i've missed you... we're have you been for four whole months?" he asked her as he tried to fight the tears from seeing a lost loved one.

The girl stopped in the doorway. It was the spitting image, no, it was Alisa, like nothing had ever happened. Wearing the same clothes, with the same stance and the same face. However, she looked extremely tired and wary, like she just ran two marathons and was attempting to stay up.

Though, she went rigid. The voice...the man in front of it. It...Beatbox. It was Beatbox, James, her old love...the man she still loved actually. The person she didn't want to see, for what she did to him. She abandoned him for so many months, granted, she had no choice but...

She stammered, tears already streaming down her young face. "I-I'm so sorry..." is all she said, before slowly stepping forward. One, two, three...She then took a few rapid steps and wrapped her arms around Beatbox, crying into him, repeatedly saying "I'm sorry," apologizing in any way she could. She felt so bad for abandoning him....

[Beatbox 0]

Beatbox couldn't believe that she was right before his eyes... tears flowed down his face that hit the ground, he tear he could feel... but these were tears of pure joy and happiness he smiled knowing that this wasn't a dream "A-alisa... it really is you... I've missed you so much..." even though her appearance didn't really change except her general looks... something must have happened to her, but he didn't care... all he cared about that Alisa was right in front of him. She had apologized and quickly walked towards him, until it rapidly increased, Beatbox opened his arms and caught her as she had ran towards him to give him a hug. Beatbox laid his head next to hers and he fell to the ground out of so happy he was to finally see her again... it had been so long... "I thought you didn't want to be with me anymore and that's why you had left... I thought something bad had happened to you... I thought you had died... I have looked all over for you Alisa... i've explored far in finding you..." he cried into her shoulder before speaking again "w-what happened to you Alisa? We're have you been for all this time?" he said as he didn't want to break the hug to look at her eye to eye, he held her tightly and never wanted to let go.

The small, French girl fell onto Beatbox, snuggling into him rather tightly as she continued to cry. She felt so bad, she should have asked for help. But no, she was stupid and got caught out in a situation she couldn't control. Her heart stung as he went on about how he tried to find her. She had wished he would have...but can't blame him for anything. She didn't want to talk about what happened though...it would just upset him...she didn't want him to know what she had done...the murder to escape....the slaughter... So, she laid on him, crying, unable to answer for a few seconds. She was experiencing some of the strongest emotions she had ever felt.

 

"I-I'm so sorry, I...I got pulled and I nearly died and I got..." she stopped, realizing she could barely even understand herself. She broke the hug and pulled herself up on Beatbox, kissing him deeply, the love for him in her having never died.

[Beatbox 0]

Beatbox held her tightly and didn't want to let go, it had been a miracle for him to finally see his true original love again, he just wanted to know why she had been away for this long... he smiled and placed a hand at the top of her head "It's alright Alisa... you're safe now, you're in the arms of me now... it's going to be alright..." he said to her before she had gotten up to him and started kissing him deeply, he was surprised that she had started to kiss him... but his feelings for her truely never left, he wrapped his arms around her waist and held her warmly and tightly as they kissed. After a moment, Beatbox had pulled away and gave her a smile with tears starting to flow down his eyes "Alisa, take a deep breath." he waited for her to take a deep breath before saying anything, he wanted to make sure that she was calm before speaking with her any more. The last thing he needed was for her to go insane while trying to figure this out.

The girl continued to sob and shake on the man's chest after the kiss ended. It was obvious she was scared...what exactly did she escape from? She kept repeating she was sorry, what exactly did she do?

 

After a while, she took a deep breath, and muttered in a small voice, "I killed them, I killed them all." After stating that, she seemed more distressed and upset at herself and what was going on... She even seemed close to pure and total hysteria, what the hell was going on with her?

 

Wait, kill them? What the hell? Alisa didn't have a red crystal above her head...did she? No, no she didn't, so did she actually kill people? Or was so she bewildered and upset that she was just coming up with random things? Perhaps he could pry for more information and figure out exactly what had happened during her absence.

[Beatbox 0]

Beatbox had gotten shocked when she had said she had killed someone, probably even more people than just one... he looked at her with a shocked expression, but he had expected that it must've not been her fault. Beatbox sat up and placed her on his lap holding her close, "Who...? Who did you kill? and why?" he asked with a geniune concern in his voice, he pulled her away from their hug once more and look at her in her eyes and said "It's alright Alisa, I wont love you any less than I already have." he held her closely again placing her head onto his shoulder and placing his head on top of hers giving her a short kiss on the top of her head, rubbing her back making sure that she was comfortable and okay... if she needed a place to hide or stay Beatbox would invite her to his house to catch a deep breath and smell the roses just to get some fresh air, Ocarina had sat next to Beatbox looking up at Mossino smelling in her direction trying to figure out if she was friendly or not.

Alisa released a deep breath, slowly getting her bearings back. After he reassured her, she stopped shaking as much, and seemed to calm down and relax a lot. Finally, after silence for a few minutes she fully stopped her shaking.

Then, she slowly started to talk, spilling her heart out to him. Though, she could only talk so much, until she broke down again, and couldn’t find any more words to say.

“I…they blackmailed me, took me away under threats…I was forced to stay with them for months…they held me, kept me, made me do things for them…” she murmured, trying to keep herself calm, but was failing badly.

“I saw my opportunity, to escape….but I had to kill them…every single one of them….” She started to cry again, wetting Beatbox’s shoulder, her small body shaking violently as she lost it again…did….did she kill off an entire party? He needed more information.

[Beatbox 0]

Beatbox had listened to her speak, and gotten very concerned over her getting blackmailed like that, he gained an angered look... he knew that players were stupid and we're selfish... but he never really though it would be upon that level. He couldn't believe a group of players would do something like that to Alisa, especially to how sweet she used to be. He held her close and placed a hand on top of her head and placed the other around her body and placed his head next to hers "It's okay Alisa... you had to do what you had to do... I know how it feels to kill another player... while you were gone... I... killed someone..." he gotten a little upset, before shedding tears over it "I had gotten so scared... everyone looked at me with disgust... like I wasn't human... but, I had to move on, and I want you to as well Alisa... you had to do what you had to do." he hugged her tighter and warmer than he had before, he wanted her close to him... he had missed her very much and never stopped having feelings for her...

Alisa wrapped her small body around him, hugging and snuggling tightly into him. Yeah she felt pretty bad about what she did. But it was fully necessary to escape her horrible situation. There was no other way out except for death, and not even Alisa wanted to die. She didn’t know Beatbox had killed someone but…she couldn’t blame him. It wasn’t the killing, it was the pleasure she got from it, and the satisfaction she got from repeatedly stabbing a man in his chest, until the life drained from his eyes and he fell to the ground…

 

Just remembering it made her shiver again, but not in fright, but in satisfaction. She quickly shook her head and squeezed him again. “T-Thank you…” she mumbled, “I-I love you so much…I was so scared….t-thank you…” she continued to mumble thank you for a while, still in shock out of it. She was a shell of her former self.

[Beatbox 0]

Beatbox had comforted her, hugging her tightly and warmly, he knew that she had changed from this... heck Beatbox would have if she had to slash through many players. He mumbled "It's okay..." as she had mumbled "i'm sorry.", eventually he had broken down the temptation and moved her chin upwards to give her another deep kiss, kissing her for a good moment, moving and swaying making sure she had felt love and some sort of happiness. After the kiss was over he had broken their lip connection and taken a breath of air and pulled her into another hug "You look like a mess though... Alisa, I invite you to my home on floor 11... together, we can finally be a true couple, you can live in my home, we can share a bed, heck... you can have a long awaited bath... but you don't have to Alisa... I am just tying to make your life here just a little bit easier my love." he whispered into her ear as he rubbed her back once more holding onto her tightly and warmly.

Alisa passionately kissed him back, closing her eyes and enjoying it immensely. She had missed this, missed being wrapped in his arms, missed talking to him, and missed being with him every day. The flood of memories of their previous encounters came back.  And his offer….to live with him, in his house…have a bath…relax in warm water, and take her mind off of his crazy game, her sins, and everything that had happened. How nice that sounded….how lovely…how perfect….it was something she had wanted, a goal she had forgotten in her absence. It was funny, he remembered her better than she remembered herself.

She leaned into him as he rubbed her back, enjoying it rather immensely. She seemed to have finally calmed down…Beatbox always had a thing for making Alisa relax. She smiled, “As long as I can spend my time with you…I’d love every second of it…I’d love to join you in your house…I love you.”  

[Beatbox 0]

Beatbox had smiled, and snuggled his head up against hers and moved it slightly to comfort her "I love you too Alisa, I have and always will..." he pulled her into another kiss shedding a tear of pure happiness, he couldn't be anymore happier with his life now, while he still lost faith in humanity... she had made it not mean anything anymore when she was in his arms... her love, her comfort... it was simply beautiful. He had patted her back and said to her "Well, we shouldn't wait now, lets get you out of here and to my home where you can relax." he smiled as he had picked her up bridal style and looked at her face with a wide smile "I hope you like this Alisa, otherwise I can let you walk yourself by my side, would you want to or...?" he wanted to know because he didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable in any way shape or form, it was bad enough that she was a huge mess, he only wanted to do the best for her.

Alisa squeaked as she was picked up, her fright leaving her. She was still in shock about her...situation. But, Beatbox had done a wonderful, amazing, perfect job at relaxing and comforting her right now. Though, instead of squirming to get off of him, she just smiled and pushed her head into his chest, wrapping her arms around his neck. For the first time in months, she smiled, and then giggled. She seemed to have no issues with being carried bridal style, to be honest, she enjoyed it immensely.

 

And so, as he carried her away, she laughed and giggled and loved it.

“T-Thank you so much…” she said between giggles, “I love this, I love you…I’m so happy you found me…I-I thought you would hate me…b-but no…you….” Her ramble ends and she squeezes him again, her old tears wetting his shoulder for the final time. And after that…she didn’t cry again.

Beatbox had smiled and planted a kiss upon her forehead as he carried her outside into the cold night towards the floor teleporter, he held her closely and gave her a warm smile as they walked, there wasn't really players around at this time of night, however Beatbox wouldn't have cared if players had been looking this way in the first place. "I'm glad that we will be able to spend our time together here, in a home... just like a couple Alisa." he smiled and planted a kiss upon her cheek this time. "I promise that we'll be together forever Alisa, I will not die on you... so you don't die on me... alright?" he asked her as they had made to the floor teleporter, with a smile he had exclaimed "Teleport. Floor 11, Taft." and they were teleported to floor 11.

-----

Floor 11:

Beatbox had carried her past taft and outside the town where his home lead, it was close to the main settlement and was on the trail outwards, in front of them was a cozy little home, he looked upon her in the moonlight and said "We're home Alisa." he had kicked open his door with a smile and stepped inside while closing the door with his foot behnd him. He walked forward past the bookcase and the coach and led his way to the bed that laid at the far edge of the center of the room and placed her on one side of the bed, pulling a blanket around her, leaning over placing a hand on her cheek and kissed her passionately and deeply.

Just like a couple. Those words rang in her ears and mind. A couple. She blushed heavily and buried her face in his chest. That was something she had thought of from when they were together previously. A couple. Honestly, she loved the idea, and...well...she'd never want to admit it, but she wanted to marry Beatbox....But she'd never admit that...maybe.

"I promise." She said with a light stutter, her mind still on more...romantic thoughts. It was obvious she was blushing rather hard. She had never seen Taft before...but she could explore another time. For now it was time to be with Beatbox.

She waited until she was put onto the bed, a very pink blush coming across her face as she kissed him with as much fire and passion back. Slowly, she wrapped her hands around his neck again, trying to pull him down upon the bed, to lay with her.

[Beatbox 0]

Beatbox had smiled as she had kissed him and wrapped her arms around his neck, he had missed her and while he did show affection towards Hakai, she just did not like him back... but Alisa... he had truly loved her, no matter what she had done. She had pulled him down and he laid on top of her but he had wrapped his arms around her waist and turned over to the other side to have her on top of him. He had moved his hands upwards to her cheek and pulled her to another kiss, but then separated to look at her in the eyes "I love you Alisa, and I wont trade you for anything. I won't want to be with anyone but you... you're just perfect, I love every aspect to you... every flaw, every virtue... you're just amazing." he had pulled her close to give her a hug and gave her one last final kiss before laying her next to him wrapping his arms around her back "Goodnight Alisa... I hope you sleep well..." he whispered into her ear as he snuggled his way to sleep.

@Mossino - end it up <3
