SCP 1471 [A one of a kind friend.]

VII

This time I didn't dream of any platform or some alternate universe, which was pretty good

I woke up to the alarm at 6:40 in the morning.

I made myself a coffee and stared out the window.

There was a police car parked in front of the building, which didn't mean a good thing.

Mal0 was still asleep in my bed, and I didn't want to wake her up.

The day was like any other, teasing, laughter, boredom.
I was sending messages to Mal0 to try and hide my loneliness.

It wasn't like I didint have any friends, but they seemed to ignore me when it suited them.

Putting those thoughts aside I walked back home looking up at the sky.
Which was as gray as my mind at the time.

00000000000000000000000000000000

I arrived just in time, before it started to rain.
Mal0 hugged me the moment I set foot in the apartment.

-Mal--

-Sorry.

I changed from my school uniform to a home clothes and sat at the computer.
I had no homework or anything to do.

-Are you playing the same game as before? -The anomaly asked.

-Yeah, it's very difficult.

-I see.

I wasnt very good at bullethells and with Mal0 looking I was playing even worse.
I don't even know why I bought this game.

-Could I play with you?

-...
-I don't see why not.

I was a little scared to give her a controller, since she could easily destroy it with her sharp claws.
But I knew she wouldn't ...
At least not on purpose.

I changed the game to a cooperative one, it was about two robots that had to help each other by solving puzzles and shooting portals.

Playing with Mal0 was more fun than i expected, everything that happened surprised her.

Even so, she solved the puzzles much faster than me and waited patiently for me without saying anything.

We completed half the game before we stopped playing.

The few drops that fell had turned into a fine drizzle, which threatened to get worse.

Sighing, I got up from the pc chair, I didn't think I could have omelettes for the third time in a week so I decided to go shopping for fast food, leaving her alone at home.

00000000000000000000000000000000

As I returned I saw the sky light up and the thunderous sound of thunder.

Picking up my pace a bit, I got home and struggled with the lock.

The lights were off and he couldn't see inside.
I turned on the cell phone flashlight and it almost fell out of my hand when I saw Mal0 running towards me.

She hugged me tight, cutting off my breath.

-What happened?

-I-I don't know.

Must have been a fuse or something, let me check...

I felt a tug on my arm-
I tried walking again but she refused to let me go.
She was shaking...?

Could it be that demon dogs from an alternate reality were afraid of thunderstorms?

-If you don't let me go, we won't be able to have electricity again.
This time she loosened her hand a bit but she didn't let go of me.

I walked over to the electrical box and opened it up.

...

-No luck, the problem is external.
-So...
-Are you hungry? -I said trying to change the subject.

-I brought a toy, from the kids menu.

00000000000000000000000000000000

Having finished eating, I threw everything in the trash and lay down to sleep.

Mal0 sat next to me and said something very quietly.

-C-Could I sleep with you?

-You've always slept with me, though?
-...
-Just lie down. -I said avoiding her gaze.
She quickly crawled under the covers and I felt my heart jump.

-M-Mal0?

-Yes?

"Have you always been ... naked?"

- Why shouldn't I be?

-Why didn't you tell me before? I said, jumping out of bed andrunning to my closet.

-Why should I tell you? She asked confused

-Why?
-Just put this on. -I said throwing some old pajamas at her.

I definitely couldn't sleep now, not with my heart beating so fast.
