Bla, bla, world, bla, bla, exciting, bla, bla, Matt, bla, Matt, bla, bla...
- Matt! - I yelled for the third time. He jumped in the chair and looked at me, blinking confused. He gave me that "wah, you scared me princess" look. - Are you listening to me?
He scratched his cheek like a child.
- Errr... Yeah? - he said doubtfully.
Liar. I raised an eyebrow. You're a bad liar.
- Ok, then. What do you think about it? - I asked, stopping playing with the ball.
He waited three seconds before found an answer.
- I think that I'm... Hungry? - he said, with a small grin in his face.
- Ha, ha, so funny - I said sarcastically. - Can you remind me why I haven't killed you yet?
- 'Cause I'm adorable and you love me? - he asked hopefully.
- Yeah, so adorable that I want to punch you right now - I answered laughing, and then I threw the ball to him. He caught it without problems.
- I'm sorry, I'm sooorry ~ - he sang and turned off the screen of the computer. - Well? I'm all ears. - He drew up his legs and put his chin on his knees, staring at me. - Tell me what's on your mind troublesome girl.
I sighed, looking at the white roof.
- I was saying that it would be great being another person and live in other world - I muttered after a few seconds. He stared at my eyes, silently telling me to go on. - I mean, I know it's stupid and impossible but think about it for just a second. Wouldn't you like being a ninja, for example? - I asked excited, rolling in the bed. - You could do a lot of things! You would be really strong and fast and--and you could do jutsus with the chakra! - I almost shouted.
- Don't forget that you could have a ninja-dog - he said smirking.
I started laughing, closing my eyes.
- Yeah, of course - I nodded. - I would really like to have one.
We stayed in silent for almost a minute, lost in our own thoughts.
- What about being a mage? - he asked suddenly.
Oh, yeah, a mage would be... Wait, what? I looked at him surprised. He was listening to me seriously and without laughing at my feelings-thing. I couldn't help giving him a sweet smile.
- I would like to be a fire mage - I answered, still smiling. - It would be great to use fire and that type of techniques, or being that strong and hot and living with a Dragon and-- wait. - I touched my lips with a finger, thinking for a moment. - I wouldn't mind being an ice mage, though. It's kinda cool too.
Both of us started laughing at my bad play on words.
- You know that if you are a girl there, you are going to have ehem, you know, a two good reasons for being a good mage - he said, blushing a little.
I winced.
- Yeah, I guess that I would be a mage with the whole boobs-pack - I said trying no to laughed out loud.
He got up and walked towards the bed, smiling. I looked at him curiously.
- And a pirate? Tell me - he lay on the bed next to me, with his arms behind his neck. - Would you like being one?
- That's a good question - I replied. - Would you like that?
- Me being a pirate, or you being a pirate? - he asked, and then he turned his head towards me. - Oh, shit. I'm not sure what I just said - he moaned.
I closed my eyes and laughed softly. He slowly rested his forehead against mine.
- That's so like you, Matt - I whispered, smiling.
He smiled back.
- Yeah, that's so like me - he repeated, nodding pleased. He waited a few seconds. - So? Tell me.
His breath hit my face. Hot. Sweet.
- It would be just... Amazing - I said, half nervous and half eager without knowing why. - The wind in your face, the smell of the ocean, the sound of the waves... - I recited, counting on fingers. - I really loved the sea when I was a child, you know? Maybe I still do - I smiled. - It's more that big, and so blue and deeper... And it's full of things and creatures that you can't imagine - my voice was full of excitement. - Pirate ships are cool, and I could travel around the world with my nakamas and be part of epic battles. I could be reaaally strong and have a lot of fun and live incredibles adventures - I bit my lip. - I could get the greatest freedom in the world and fight for my nakamas and for my dream and...
- ... And you could be with Luffy for ever and make naughty things with him - he said falsely annoyed.
- Yeah, that's right, make naughty things with... Hey! - I said when I realized what he had just said. - You're jealous or what? - I purr, giving him an innocent look.
- Don't tempt me, miss - he grinned, shaking his head. - But hey, you know what?
I didn't reply but instead I growled softly, saying that I was listening to him.
- I wouldn't mind being a pirate if I could be able to see that gleam in your eyes every day - he whisper really sweet into my hair, and then kissed me there. I blushed. - Buuuuut forget it - he said suddenly, - you get sick in any transport, you weak.
I frowned and I punched him softly in the shoulder.
- You really know how to ruin a nice moment, baaaaka - I pouted.
He smirked. We remained in silent for minutes, just listening to each other breathe. I felt a little sleepy.
- Nee, Matt... - I muttered with my eyes closed. I felt his arms around me. - What about being a...?
(...)
What about being a different person, in a different place, in a different time...?
