Empyrean Iris Story Collection Vol. 3

First Time

Adam knew there was going to be trouble.

Conn didn't often to get to meet large crowd of people and when he did it was usually a disaster. The billowy bastard had a hard on for making people suffer, and it seemed as if today was going to be no different.

"Conn." The entire table looked up at him in surprise.

He didn't realize until that moment that he was using what Sunny called his "Admiral Voice." He hadn't noticed when he stared using it, but he had been unconsciously using it for some time now, and Sunny said she liked it which meant he was trying to be able to do it on purpose, but so far he was to quick to laugh every time he tried it intentionally.

This, however, was unintentional.

The voice boomed around the table, deeper and more stern than his actual voice could ever get on its own.

Conn turned waved a hand dismissively at him. He could never get Conn to stop the first time. He generally had to yell at him two or three times to get the star-born to behave. He knew that, but the others didn't know that, and the worst part of it was... he really didn't want conn to stop.

So he sat back.

Conn must have heard this internal dialogue and took it as permission to keep going forward.

He floated forward, "So these were the people you went to school with."

Adam grunted.

"They didn't really amount to much did they?"

Adam tried not to smile.

"Conn." He warned again.

Amanda stood up her short A line haircut waving around her neck squaring up to Conn as he floated in front of her, "How dare you."

Conn looked her over, but instead of saying anything he looked through her and then floated past her waving a hand, "Not even worth insulting."

The look on her face was one of sheer rage.

Adam tried not to laugh.

Krill had floated over to stand on his other side from Sunny, who was looking on rather smugly at all of what was going on.

Conn stopped in front of the next girl in line looking her over with a critical eye. She grabbed for her purse about ready to leave, "Oh when were you going to tell everyone you had a crush on the weird UFO kid?" The entire table turned to look at her. Adam's eyes went wide with surprise, "But you were too desperate to be popular to let him know, it really would have ruined your reputation if they learned how you really felt now wouldn't it."

He left her red in the face and blushing as he floated over to the others who where trying not to be noticed.

Adam rubbed the back of his neck in surprise.

Sunny glowered at the woman who shrunk into her seat.

Adam didn't recognize her.

How

Ironic.

"And you, well now that is interesting. Weren't you just making fun of Thomas earlier? Seems weird considering your considerable cocaine habit."

Adam was shocked at that one, the man got up and walked out as the others stared after him.

Conn moved right on down the line insulting everyone within visual distance reducing them to bugs below his boot heel. If there wasn't some big high school secret he could use against them, he went straight for their insecurities.
