Emma's embarrassing request

Thursday 6th of July 3018

BIP BIP BIIIP, BI BIP BIIIIIP said the annoying alarm clock.
An upset hand turned the clock off in a very uncaring manner.

Emma had hardly slept, last night's incident roamed through her head and made it impossible to relax. She got out of bed with pure will power and went to the kitchen with her eyes barely open. The sleepy girl made herself a cup of coffee, which managed to wake her up instantly. Not because of its caffeine, no. The thing is, she was so tired she ended up missing the cup and poured the hot water on her hand.

-AAAAHH stupid cup! Stand still!-, she scolded the inanimate object.

-It’s not the cup’s fault, Em-, said AI-Juliet amused, scaring Emma since she couldn't hear her "walk" towards her.
Emma looked at the hologram of his mother and immediately turned her face around in order to avoid her gaze. Things were more awkward than usual with her/it. -How is your hand?-, it asked.

-It’s fine… thanks-, she answered.

-Let me see-, AI-Juliet requested. Emma lifted her hand up to her face.

-Mmmm, just a little red. Pour some cold water on your hand and it will be fine-, it advised. It then gave the hand a kiss like her mom used to do. Emma didn’t feel the touch but did feel the intention. She put her hand under the running water of the faucet and felt better.

-You are going to school now, right? Could you speak with Nyco and tell him I want to see him? I know it may come as a shock to see me like this, but… I really miss him-, it voiced.

-... We just spoke about this… I don’t think… Wait? What day is it today?

-The 30th of June, why?-, it wondered.

-... No, nothing… I…I’m sorry-, Emma said hurrying to her room. “So he did end up deleting its memories”, Emma realised.

The upset teenager decided to put on a happy song to cheer herself a little bit. After putting her uniform on and all the books inside her bag, Emma started selecting the school destination. When she tried using her Warpy, a concerning message appeared. “Install jumping orbs to travel” it read. The girl had completely forgotten that her dad had taken her orbs away. That meant she was going to be late to school for the first time ever and ruin her good reputation. Panic mode was activated in her head. “What do I do, What do I do?!! Even if I hurry up, the train won’t get me there on time. Oh no no no!! Wait!, I know. Nyco!” she screamed as she walked like a caged lion in her room. Emma took her E-Cube from her pocket and called the boy responsible for her predicament.

The crowd was cheering as the hero went up the long stairs. Petals of all colors were spread all over the stairs as he climbed them. The world leader had a silver crown prepared for the star. He placed the crown on the boy’s head and gave him a wink. Nyco got in front of the altar and started speaking into the microphone.

-Fellow citizens of Earth. It’s my honor to have conquered the planet Emma-L.U. It was a road filled with hardships and trials. It almost beat me, not gonna lie, but with my strengths and my wits, I was able to claim this beautiful planet for the good of our people-, all the attendants screamed because they were delighted to be of the same species as Nyco. -And now, I want to present to you my number one motivation. My childhood friend, lover and beautiful wife, Emma!-. His girl walked the stairs with grace. She was wearing a long white dress with built-in robotic wires that made the dress move and wave as if it was in outer space with zero gravity. She looked like an angel. She got close to him and gave him a kiss on the lips and the crowd went wild screaming how they were the perfect couple and that their children would be the best space explorers in history. With all the commotion, Emma had to lean into his ear so he could hear her whispers.

-You are my everything Nyco. I love you to the moon and back. No, scratch that. I love you to infinity and back. You make me the happiest woman in the galaxy. I can’t wait for us to go on our honeymoon and BIIIIIP in every space station. Then we will BIIIIIIP in all the planets you’ve conquered. And after all that, I’m going to BIIIIIP you forever and ever.

-Wha…What?" asked Nyco, confused.

-Come here and BIIIIIP

BIIIIIP BIIIIIP BIIIIIP, said the E-Cube, disturbing his sleep and pulling him out of his dream. His eyes refused to open so he had to search for the E-C with his hands. It was on his nightstand. He tried shutting it down as he thought it was the alarm, but he ended up answering the call.

-NYCO-, screamed the agitated girl. Hearing her voice made him jump off the bed and land face down on the floor. -I NEED YOU TO COME AND TAKE ME TO SCHOOL. IT’S URGENT -, she ordered.

-Why are you calling me so early in the morning?!-, Nyco protested.

-Because you owe me for making me lose my jumping orbs. Remember?

-But wasn’t my punishment teaching you how to fly?

-Interests just went up. Now you have to take me to school in your Rocket Boots, otherwise I’ll be late-, Emma sentenced.

-But… But…

-No “buts” allowed. Now get your butt over here. Quickly. Please

-Aaaagh, I’m going-, he moaned.

Poor Nyco got dressed as quickly as he could and put the Rocket Boots on. As soon as he got outside he started flying. It was much more dangerous to fly in the daytime since cops could notice someone breaking the law way easier than at night. That’s why he decided to make a detour through the outskirts of the city where patrols were less common. He still had to be careful and decided to fly as high as he could so normal citizens wouldn’t see him and report him.

She was walking around nervously in her room when Nyco came flying through her open window. He landed with the grace of someone that has flown a million times, even though he had only started practicing for a year. She was left spellbound by how nonchalant he was doing something she was so terrible at.

-Hi. Good Morning. Are you ready?-, he asked, pulling his flying goggles down to see her eye to eye, leaving her with the sight of his blue eyes.

-Emmm… Yes. I’m ready-. she replied, putting her backpack on with all her books for the day. A sudden realization came to her mind. Nyco had come in her aid even though this was such a selfish thing to ask. She knew in her heart that even if it wasn’t his fault that she was out of jumping orbs, he would have come regardless. She felt a strong warmth knowing he was there to help her just as she was for him.

-Ok well… How do we do this? We are pretty high and I know you are scared of heights. Would you prefer if I wait for you outside and then we go?-, Nyco asked.

-No. There’s no time. I’ll just… deal with it.

-As you wish… So… How should I carry you? Princess style?-, he wondered shyly. The thought of being carried as couples do when they are newly wed, made her blush.

-No way! I’ll just… Latch on to you. I’ll hug you from behind with my arms over your shoulders and… wrap my legs over your waist…-. “This is beginning to sound like a bad idea” she thought, picturing the position.

-Koala style, then. Got it-. His lack of shame made her a bit angry. He pulled his goggles back up to his eyes and turned his back in order for her to get into position.

The timid girl approached her childhood friend’s back with reluctance. Wrapping her arms over his shoulders and resting her hands on his chest made her feel his muscles, there was no doubt that he worked out regularly. Her heart started racing so she separated herself and loosened up her grip. “Hold on tighter or you may fall”, Nyco indicated. She did as he requested, pressing her body in his back. She had to think of something else to not start shaking from the embarrassment. When Nyco felt her hugging him tightly, an issue came to light.

“O-Oh… This is going to be harder than I thought… I can feel her… pressing on my back. I can smell her too, she smells lovely… Wait!? How do I smell?!! I came here in a hurry and I know I was sweating. Oh God this is the worst”.

-Ok… I’ll wrap my legs around your waist then-, she announced.

-... Okay…-, he answered pretending to be calm. Emma jumped and wrapped her legs around his waist. The jump was successful but, since she didn’t wrap her legs around him with all her force due to her shyness, her legs were about to slide down. Before they could reach the floor, Nyco holded her legs by the thighs with his hands.

-Tha… thanks-, she muttered.

-Sure…-, he answered.

“What is even happening here!!! How did I get myself in this situation” Emma screamed in her head as she felt his hands.

“Somebody kill me now! How am I supposed to fly like this?” he panicked.
