Date From The Comfort Of Home

Today the house was lonely again, but this time there was a clear reason for it to be this way. It was Momo's day off, so it was her turn to be with me without the others hanging around. Everyone had gone back to work today, except Tamamo, who went to the park with Tifa to take care of her.

Right now I was in my living room watching the movie I really wanted to see with Momo, who was so focused on the movie that she didn't eat any of the popcorn, which was better for me. But even so, it was already at its final moment, so shortly after that, we were both in the house with no other idea what to do next.

"I'm so sorry we can't go outside to our date"
"If only it wasn't made of glass, I could do many more activities outside."
"I'm sure you would have had a much more fun afternoon with the others"

"What?"
"No, it's not a problem"
"There are many fun things we can do at home as a couple"
"You just have to be creative"
"...."
"For example, how about I give you a massage?"
"How about?"
"I'm not good, but I learned a little, I think"

"Let me guess, you learned it during the war since it was for when you were exhausted from fighting and blah blah blah"

"Nope"
"A part-time job when I was saving money for Maria's party."

"Did you give massages in a Spa?"
"How many girls did you massage!?"

"Football players"
"In a five-a-side football center"
"To people tired of kicking a ball"

"Sure, it had to be that"
"I had forgotten that it was you we were talking about"

I take the angel in my arms and went to the bed. Where I then put on the relaxing music on my phone, lit an aromatic candle that I found in the bathroom, and brought one of my mother's creams to start with. Little did I know that Momo would be made of glass, it was like massaging a statue, but she seemed to like her so I continued despite how useless it seemed at first glance. Since there was hardly anything going on, I took the opportunity to talk a little about her, because there were things that I still didn't know about her.

"You know, now that I think about it, I know almost nothing about your parents"
"Is everything okay with them?"

"My parents?"
"Yeah they're fine"
"Before leaving I wrote them a letter explaining what happened and why I came to earth"
"...."
"Unfortunately I have not received the answer yet."
"But I doubt very much that they will oppose"
"It's you after all, there's not much angels can do about it.

"What section do they work in?"
"Do any of them work in the Celestial Security Section?"

"Celestial Security Section?"
"That's too exciting for my family"
"My father works as an accountant in an investment company"
"My mother teaches craft sewing classes in a shopping center"
"The truth is that I have been the first to join the glorious Celestial Security Section"
"That day my parents celebrated big"
"Even though it was just a supply team job, it was a huge step for my family"
"As you can see I think I'm the most normal person in this house"
"Being next to you is the closest I've been to the action"
"And the truth is that I would like to be further away from that"

"So, if you like tranquility so much, how did you end up there in the first place?"

"That was because of fear"

"Fear?

"Come on, don't play dumb"
"How many people are you able to see through it?"
"My parents are flesh and blood too"
"I am the one who was born weird"
"I have never seen any other angel like me in my life"
"Even to all the doctors we went to, none of them had any idea that it was really me."
"Only the doctors of the central district could know how to treat me"
"But since it was not a necessity, my parents decided not to dwell on the matter."
"But still, that doesn't mean I'm not afraid of myself"
"I don't know what could happen to me if I get hurt"
"Will I be hurt like a living being? will I break?"
"What happens if I totally break down? They will be able to heal me"
"Or I'll stay that way forever"
"....."
"Sometimes the fear is such that it completely paralyzes me"
"My parents also have the same fear as me, so it is difficult for everyone"
"....."
"So I thought to get over my fears and do something about it"

"And you decided to go big by entering the army"

"If I had done it in a place where it was easy to retire once I regretted it, I would not learn anything"
"So he went to the one place where they don't let him give up easily"

"And what did you hope to get from all that?"

"I hope one day I can become a hero recognized in heaven and that my parents are proud of their daughter"
"Let them see that I am no longer the scared one that she used to be."
"But still, I think I have a long way to go for that day"

"Aren't you with me now?"
"That isn't that already quite an achievement"

"Come on, you're not as bad as others think"
"Beneath all that invincible warrior facade is a cute boy who is shy and calm."
"It's just that only a lucky few have been able to see it"
"But I can't always depend on you if I want to learn something for myself."
"...."
"But there is no need to rush things."
"I'm sure that day will come when I feel I'm ready"

"Well, if you need anything, you know you can ask me"

"In that case... How about we bathe together? Wouldn't that be cute?"

"Okay, your wishes are orders for today"

"Just for today!?"

"I was kidding"

And as Momo wanted, I went to the bathroom to prepare it in a cute way for her, I put bath salts, and I also wanted to put some rose petals, but since they hadn't, I went to the kitchen and quickly peeled fruit instead, just hot water was missing and everything would be ready. But as always, something happened, in this case, I could hear from the second floor how the water heater was damaged, so it was up to Momo and me to take the tools to fix it

"At least it's something simple to fix"
"...."
"Can you pass me that cable there?" Momo said while he continued disarming the device

"I swear this was not my intention to spend our date time having to fix this"

"Don't worry, it's something that happens"
"It's not a big deal"
"I'll finish soon and we can continue what we're doing"

"I'm so sorry"

"Since we're having some time together anyway, what do you think if I ask the questions now?"
"What about the Cesar from before?"
"What were you like when you were a little boy?"

"What about me?"
"I don't know what you want me to say"
"It was quite calm and quiet outside of what it seems like now I"
"Sometimes I was the one who made the supermarket lines for my mother"
"I was super shy and I didn't like to leave the house"
"I had a hard time socializing"
"Then school came, and still I didn't change"
"After school and I didn't change either"
"And after that the university, where neither
"Damn, the truth is I thought I would die alone by the time I turned twenty"

"Come on, all kids have a messy side"
"I do not believe that the Great Emperor Cesar, winner of the Dragons, has been a saint all his life"

"Contrary to what I know what they think of me, I really consider myself a pacifist"
"...."
"...."
"...."
"But if I had to talk about the nonsense that I did, those were many in my youth"
"In my band was my brother Leon, Maria, you know her, she is my younger sister, and THE cousin, Brayan"
"The other side of the coin, if I was calm and shy, he was crazy and loud."
"I really think that if this were an anime Brayan would be the protagonist."
"But with them, we made every day an adventure at my grandmother's house"
"I told you about the time we cycled down Dead Dave's Hill, pedaling at full speed."
"That was the first day I saw death in the face"

"Maria was sick at that time, right?"

"It was the three of us trying to brighten her day a little"
"But inside the three of us were sure that we would not survive"

"What about where did you live?"
"Which country was it?"
"You had told me that you didn't know snow until you were older"

"Okay"
"I lived in Costa Rica"
"A country in Central America, quite small but with a large number of environments"
"Although all of them related to the tropics"
"The rain forest, the dry forest, the jungle"
"There are only two seasons"
"Hell's Heat and Biblical Flood"
"The trees are always green and every day it's sunny"
"...."
"And the most ironic part, a country that has no army"

"!!!!"
"Really?"
"So you weren't meant to be a warrior at all"

"If nothing weird had happened at all, I never would have left the country in the first place"

"What else! it's actually interesting"
"Tell me about your home?"

"The country is mainly a world tourist destination, so seeing people from all over the world is normal"
"Even so, there is a strong emphasis on ecology, but in return its development has been quite scarce for decades"
"I lived in the capital of the country, San Jose"
"It is in the center of the country, in a valley"
"My house was located in one of the poor neighborhoods"
"But even so the security was quite high, however not by the police."
"But the good side is that if the neighborhood knew you there was never any problem"
"Once even one of the neighborhood "criminals" protected me from an assault when I returned from school"
"...."
"What else?"
"Did I tell you that my father loved to travel around the country?"
"There is no place we didn't go on a family trip"
"We had a 4x4 car, the pride of my father, it is still in the house because nobody feels worthy to claim it yet"

"What about your grandmother?"
"Is it true how powerful she is?"

"She doesn't have any superpowers, I think"
"I really have no idea what happened at Maria's birthday party"
"But even so, she is the head of the family, so important things are first defined with her before being carried out"
"She lives in the mountains in a place quite far from the life of the modern age"
"A place where the world could end and still not realize how far away it is"
"We almost always visited her once a month and slept at her house"
"Or at least that was what we did until my father died"

"!!!!"
"Finally, done!"

"Have you finished your part!?"
"I did not do my part, for being talked about everything!"

"That's not my fault"
"You must have talked and worked at the same time"

"Hey wait!"
"At least help in this if you want to have warm water back!"

After that, in the end, Momo did help me finish and we were able to take a bath together. After that, we weighed playing an old video game that I used to play with my brothers and Brayan, so I was quite an expert, so I helped her understand it. By the time night came everyone returned home and Momo and I tried to prepare easy food for everyone. But unfortunately little did I know that this time of calm ends as quickly as it came when the next day at four in the morning I received a call from an unknown number.

"Hello, Cesar?"
"It's me Adelis! Your mother"
"I have a problem!"
"Is Maria! She has disappeared!"
