William looked around in awe at the luxurious furniture. It was dark and cozy, the floor was made with polished wood and the walls were white. The couch was big and comfy, with few buttons on the armrests. He wondered what they could do…
He was so fascinated by the place that he didn't notice the coat that fell.
Silver sat down on it. Her gaze examining the room with her piercing red eyes.
''I didn't know you would choose to live in an apartment…'' she stated. ''You tend to go for more extravagant things… like a mansion or even a villa.''
Adam smirked and sat down next to her. And of course, not without clinging to her first.
''I knew it would be temporary. You and I can't stay apart for more than a week, my little disaster~''
He nuzzles her hair.
She just glares at him the whole time while Leyla lets out a small snicker.
William stares at them silently for a little while before voicing the very question that has been eating him alive…
''What are you two exactly…? Lovers? Friends?''
Adam lifts his head from Silver's shoulder and chuckles.
''Lovers.
-Enemies.''
They both say at the same time.
Adam pouts at Silver before she stands up with a sigh.
She crosses her arms and pinches the bridge of her nose.
''More accurately, rivals that tend to help each other from time to time…''
William blinks at them.
He genuinely thought that they were lovers. Who would be so close to somebody who they consider as a rival?
Leyla just smiled brightly with a light giggle.
The corner of her green eyes caught something moving.
She abruptly turned towards its direction and clung onto her brother's arm.
The thing was hiding under the coat that fell earlier…
William slowly walked towards it as he carefully lifted it. A small, white-furred hamster looked up at him with its big, white eyes.
William let out a small 'aww…' before the hamster ran towards Silver.
It climbed up her legs and sat on her sticky lap.
She sighs and takes into her palms.
''Coco…'' she mumbles. ''You got all sticky too…''
She stands up and turns towards Adam.
''Where's the bathroom?''
Adam smirked and sat up to.
''Let's shower together—
-I'll search for it myself. Forget it.''
She walked off as Adam chuckled darkly.
He allowed a few seconds to pass before standing up and going right at Silver's destination…
William snorted and looked over at the couch.
His innocent expression contracted into one of disgust as he stared at how soaked it was.
Meanwhile, Adam knocked on the bathroom door… and at his surprise, it opened.
He smirked deviously and looked at Silver.
''I always knew you loved me~''
She rolls her eyes.
To his surprise, her clothes were still on, and Coco was nowhere to be seen…
His eyes slowly drifted towards the bathtub… and there was a random guy with white hair, and few yellow and purple strands.
His eyes widened before he lunged forward with a knife that was tucked in his pocket.
''WHO ARE YOU?!''
Before that Adam could hurt the guy with the knife, Silver was already stopping him by gripping his arm.
''Calm down, there, Romeo. This is Coco.''
Adam visibly relaxed at the name as he chuckled softly.
''Oh… makes sense… I'm just used to seeing him as an animal.''
Adam glares down at him.
''Even though he looks more like a pig right now than anything… because of the situation I mean.
-HEY!!!!!''
Coco pouted as Silver took off her gloves.
''Born an animal, stays an animal.'' She shrugged. ''But it's easier to get rid of saliva by brushing skin rather than fur or wings.''
She lightly slaps Coco's shoulder with her wet gloves.
''You piece of sh1t… is it THAT hard to stay to seconds without me? What are you even doing here?''
Coco rubs the spot she just swatted and hardens his pout.
''I was waiting at the alley for you when I saw you ABANDONING me for HIM.''
Silver gives him a death glare, which leads Coco to immediately submit and look down.
Adam snorted and slowly wrapped his arm around Silver's shoulders.
''He's right, you know~''
She pushes him with her boot again and growls in annoyance.
She looks down at Coco and sighs.
''You know what? I'm sure Adam will bath you better than me. I can wait—
-NO!''
Adam and Coco both said at the same time.
Silver just blinked at them before sighing.
''Alright… Adam, leave then.
-But—
-NOW.''
He left the bathroom like a wounded puppy and closed the door behind him.
He looked down at the ground and sighed.
''Dang it…'' he murmured under his breath.
A few minutes later, Silver came out of the bathroom with a sigh, a towel wrapped around her shoulders.
Her hair was completely wet, but at least, it wasn't out of saliva…
An uncomfortable shiver travelled down her spine at the thought.
She was only in a black tank top and black pants that Adam gave her. Of course he wouldn't give her something less revealing…
She sighed and snapped her fingers, causing all the saliva on the couch to burn off.
She sat manspread on it, her head resting on the backrest next to Adam, where he was reading the journal.
He smirked and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
''Where are William and Leyla…?'' She asked softly, looking at him through half-lidded eyes.
''They went out for a walk.''
He chuckled and looked back at her.
''It's just the two of us… and Coco. But he doesn't count.''
She snorts.
''Yeah…'' She mumbles tiredly before sitting up straight. ''I hope you got some alcohol…''
Adam pauses.
He then lets a dry chuckle.
''I forgot that was your favorite drink… I thought you wanted beer…''
Silver shrugs.
''Beer's nice too—
-No. You want alcohol? I'll buy you alcohol.''
Before she could even stop him, he teleported out of the apartment.
She sighs.
She could have literally made it appear herself… but if that helped him sleep at night…
Adam's dark hair clung to his sweaty forehead as he opened the door breathlessly. A few minutes had passed since the— ugh… how could we call it…? Incident..?
He hands her a bag full of bottles of alcohol and lies down beside her.
''See…? I remembered all of your favorite brands… are you proud of me…?''
Silver softly frowns at him and pats his head.
''You didn't have to.''
She looks down at the bottles through tired eyes.
''I don't mind drinking beer too…''
Adam stared at her as if she had just told him that 2 + 2 = 5.
''Wha-? Are you crazy?!''
He sits up abruptly and holds her hands in his soaked ones (because of the machister's saliva).
''You and Capricorn are two different people… and I dared forgetting that…''
He looks down.
''She likes beer. You like alcohol. She's a pirate. You're a gangster. Those things are very different…
-I'm not a gangster—''
Adam placed a finger on her lips.
''The point remains the same. You guys are cool in your own ways…''
He kisses her cheek.
''You're my baby… she's my babe—'' He got cut off by a sharp elbow-hit in the ribs.
He made a small 'oof-'.
She was glaring at him as she sat up and looked out the window.
''As dumb as you are, you are right about one thing… I am not Capricorn. And she isn'tme… but we do share the same body.''
