I woke up .
Stiff. Like a pile of bricks . Lifting my upper body, my elbows supporting most of the weight . Just as I was about to shift my legs , I noticed "THE" elephant of a human on my back .
The rage I felt coursing through me .
But No! - even worse , the blanket was draped across his bloody large body , pooling onto the floor beneath his side .
That got me raging .
I actually needed a moment to comprehend the stupidity and madness I'd just been a witness too.
Who?!
Who!!!, on Earth decides to sleep on someone then proceed to snatch the whole blanket for themselves . Even a bed has sheets to cover it . Seems like Damien , my mass of a muscle for a friend decided I wasn't even worth the same treatment, a bed would get , he said with venom , voice low and mumbling under his breath in harshed whispers .
Honestly, human morality no longer existed . I mean he didn't even have the decency to do something so simple . Seems a gesture like that is too big for Mr. Frenchman.
Maddison thought . His brow twitching with restrained anger at the assaultant sleeping peacefully before him .
Filled to the brim with renewed rage and anger , Maddison pushed his torso left off the couch, in turn , turning himself and 'unfortunately' making the person on him hit the floor .
Waking up to a date with the floor , was not something Damien would've expected in the early morning.
" What gives Maddi !?" Damien asked opening his eyes , his voice groggy and deep . Propping himself onto his elbows , sending Maddison a nasty glare , to which the recipient sent an even nastier one of his own .
" Well , firstly ,you sleep on me ,then proceed to hog blankets and crush my body . You giant Oaf !!!"
" First of all , I didn't crush your body . Mind you , I'm as light as a feather , and I did cover you with the blanket . You should be grateful I didn't mark your face when given the golden opportunity yesterday ! " He said in mock offense, as if it was something to be proud of .
" Well you did a good job! In being kind! . Oh! My bad I "appreciate" your "effort". Maddison retorted sarcastically.
Damien, morphing his face into a pleading one with quite ....the ugly attempt at 'pouting lips'.
"Oh , buzz of bumblebee and good morning to you too ." Damien said feining a mad expression but couldn't help the smile that pulled his lips , seems ten years of companionship does that .
" Same to you , Wasp ." Maddison said smiling at Damien , fondness in his eyes .
" So coffee ? " Damien asked getting up to stretch his back out .
" Yes please ." Maddison responded, getting off the floor and folding the blanket .
" On it ! " He goes walking off to the kitchen .
Grinding the coffee beans , taking a white crisp filter paper and pouring the hot boiling water through it , creating two cups of life savouring goodness .
" Now , onto the next topic ." " What really, bummed you out enough for you not give me a two-hour lecture on why I should lock the door ?" Damien asked , faking confusion.
He had heard from his network of information that Maddison was in on a big case that caught the attention of many shady business men , and was partnered up with Louis Clearwater, whom he stayed with at his estate after an attempt at his life was done .
He had apparently gotten a new lead and was scheduled to have dinner at Cahoots Underground with his victims cousin , who supposedly harassed him , resulting in him having an episode .
He severely doubted this because Maddison hadn't had one in six years , not to mention Maddison knew how to garner pity and manipulate emotions from as soon as they met . He was a master at getting what he wanted done .
It was that one quality that constantly reminded him of how strong Maddison was when he wasn't forced to hide under his 'persona' .
His informant had said that before the appointment, he'd had a falling out with Louis a few days prior , which sounded very planned to him . But he couldn't be too sure .
Afterall , making you doubt everything was Maddison's whole game .
But either way he wanted to hear from Maddison why he was so tired .
Sitting down , thier cups of coffee warning thier hands , Damien indicated to Maddison he could start speaking.
" It's a long story , but shortened ; I'm on a big case , met a rich young master , who's apparently my partner, stayed at his house for some days after getting shot , got blackmailed by my partners father and annoyed by my victims cousin during an interview." He said in one breath ." So yeah , I'm having a shitty week ." Maddison said , letting it finally sink in .
Damien smiled .
Ofcourse, Maddison wouldn't say they were friends, of course he'd downplay his injury and the incident at the restaurant. The blackmail , however was new information, he'd have to make sure it was true . He'd left out the time he spent with the waiter in the room .
But , oh well. Maddison just didn't want to tell him and he wouldn't force it out of him ., not at thier home .
This was one of thier "unspoken" rules . Home was a place where the outside didn't come in . You had a choice to say or not . It was a rule that was deeply connected to each of them , most likely because they had that right taken from them when they were young .
But the home they'd grown to love , was the same one that would continue trap them . Eventually crippling thier wings to fly , because a bird bred into captivity would always know captivity, and whether set free or not , it'd rebuild it's cage , because freedom was a foreign trap to it's eye .
There's a reason the baby birds are tossed down from the nests to learn to fly . That way , they associate flying with freedom.
