Never Alone

Chapter 9

They were all seated in the living room, Owen and Xavier was talking quietly about something while the rest was just watching TV, enjoying each other's company.

When a certain song came up, Zen shouted incoherent words and stood up, grinning at her mischievously.

Athena knew that look and it's something that she sees when he does something embarrassing.

"No Zenny-"

"Sing with me!"

"But this song-"

"Is awesome right?"

Athena glared at him and Zenriel just kept his grin on his face. He shrugged. "You cut me off, I do it to you. We're even."

"Not fair." Athena huffed.

"It wouldn't be fair as well if you don't sing along with me."

In all honesty, everyone believed that Athena learned how to talk back, be sassy and all that, from Zen. A guy who's so mischievous and always childish.

"But I don't like this song that much." Athena confessed making him gasp, he placed a hand on his chest in mock hurt.

"How dare you." He said dramatically. "After everything that I've done for you."

"Drama queen." Charles mumbled but Zen heard it and he gasped.

Extra dramatic.

"How. Dare. You!" He said slowly but he smirked and sighed, fanning himself like the dramatic man he is. "But hey, like they said, it takes one to know one, right Charlie bear?"

Charles glared at him and Athena couldn't help but giggle at his answer. This is what Athena loves about her Zenny.

It's how he answers to others.

"Anyways." Zen said. "Thea! Come on!"

"It's embarrassing!"

"It won't be!" Zen whined. "Just this once. Please!"

Athena couldn't help but slowly fall under his pleads. If she gives him a chance, she was sure that it would be enjoyable rather than embarrassing.

"Fine."

Zen cheered and pulled Athena up from the couch. They were standing in front of the TV and Zen suddenly danced weirdly. It was like he was having a seizure and at the same time, he looks like a fish out of the water.

"Look at this moves." He wiggled. "Some say that I'm the best dancer out there. One of a kind."

Athena couldn't help but cringe and she couldn't help it! It really looks like he's putting too much effort on how to be a fish out of water who's having a tremendous amount of seizures.

"I can see why." Athena mumbled.

"Let it go! Let it go!" Zen sang, his voice cracking and it made everything too hilarious. "Can't hold it back anymore!"

When Zen saw the expression Athena was wearing, he laughed. "Whoo! C'mon Thea, sing!"

"Err... Let it go...let it go!"

"C'mon flower, you can do better than that! Where's your inner craziness? You gotta let it go." He winked and Athena rolled her eyes at his joke.

But she listened to him and sang. "Let it go! Let it go!"

"That's it!"

More motivated by the compliment, she continued. "Can't hold it back anymore!"

"Let it go!" They both sang, grinning ear to ear at each other. "Let it go!"

She was getting more comfortable at how crazy they were being. They were singing like there's no tomorrow and it was hilarious.

"Can't hold it back anymore!" Athena sang and Zen cheered.

"Whoo! That's it! Sing it, gurl!"

"Let it go!"

"Let it go!"

They look at each other and danced, Athena was laughing non stop at how they dance silly but who cares? It's fun!

"Turn away and slam the door!"

The rest was now listening to them make a fool of themselves and it was the most fun she's ever had. At some point, the rest joined in, dancing like there's no tomorrow.

"Let it gOoO!" Zen shouted, his voice cracking and his dancing was so weird and it confuses Athena to no end but it looked weirdly funny.

"In the light of day!"

"Let the storm rage on!" The high note made Zen cough and wheeze but he was still dancing crazily.

Athena was excitedly happy that she get to finish the song, she dramatically took a spin and kneeled down with both hands in the air.

"The storm never bothered me anyway."

Everyone cheered at them and Athena was still laughing. She laid down at the floor and Zen came into view. His expression held the 'I-told-you-so' and Athena rolled her eyes.

"It was fun." Athena confessed honestly making Zen cheer in accomplishment.

"I told you so!"

"Yes, you told me so!"

"You just needed to let it go!" Zen said, repeating his joke from earlier making Athena groan.

"Yeah, you, on the other hand, let it go!"

"Yeah and I danced well!"

Athena shook her head, laughing. "I don't think so."

Zen gasped. "How dare you!"

Athena smiled up at him. "How dare me? How dare you!"

"Hey!" Zen whined. "Don't steal my line, Thea."

She just laughed at her brother's childish actions and stood up, she smiled at the rest. "I did good right?"

"Extremely good, darling." Owen agreed and I turned to look at Zen with a smug grin.

He glared at her and turned to look at the rest but Xavier beat him to it.

"You danced like a fish out of water who's having a seizure."

Charles laughed until his eyes watered. He wheezed as he laughed. "That's... What I thought!" He said between laughs, Owen was to hide his but was failing miserably and Zen crossed his arms

"That's so uncool, guys."

"Only stating the truth." Xavier shrugged.

"The truth's better than a lie, right?" Athena asked but Zen gave her a look.

"Are you crazy?" He asked. "I'll rather hear a lie because the truth always hurt!"

"Are you hurt?"

Zen shook his head, earning a confused look from Athena.

"Then what?"

Zen grinned. "I'm happy."

"Happy that you looked like you're a fish-"

"We shall not talk about that."

Athena smiled warmly. "I know. I'm happy too."

She's happy that she's here with her brothers.
