Go Anywhere For You

Mercenary's POV

"Jason Lee Scott," I say with utmost sarcasm, "well known quarterba- well i mean ex-quarterback of this god forsaken town , right?"

With just a quick glance in his eyes I can tell I hit a soft spot. Now don't get me wrong that was my plan at first, but then I remembered that's not who I want to be.

So as quickly as possible, before he can answer, I stated, "No wait, I'm sorry I didn't intend to be rude."

While making movements with my hands, thinking that with the movements he'd understand.

He then chuckled and proceeded to walk closer to me. "No I get it, it's fine." Although he said it with unsurpassable sincerity, I continued apologizing.

"No Jason it's not fine, I'm so sorry. It's just sometimes I say things, y'know, that I really don't want to say. And it's really just a defense mechanism from people an-,"

He quickly interrupted me, from completely embarrassing myself, by grabbing my arms.

The action caused not only myself to blush but him as well . "Hey hey hey, calm down okay I get it don't worry about it."

As we stayed in a comfortable silence gazing into each other's eyes. As well as furiously blushing at the fact that we were gazing at each other, moreover we were indeed holding hands and chest against chest.

My idiotic self decided to ruin it by pleasing an itch on the back of my arm which had caused me to pull out of his hold.

" Sorry uh I had an itch," I stated which caused him to laugh and shake his head. That had me blushing, once again but in embarrassment.

"It's fine," he stated while i continued scratching my arm I also continuously muttered sorry several times, " Hey not to sound rude, but uh why do you say sorry so much?"

This caught me off guard to the point I forgot my itch and looked at him in confusion. " I'm sorry, what?" I asked.

"See there it is again you're not doing anything wrong, you don't have to say sorry." Without giving it much thought I told him, "Oh I'm sorry,"

He gave me a pointed look which I ignored and then continued, " As I said I have a defence mechanism, it causes me to do several things, one in which asking for forgiveness relentlessly. And being a total bitch at times."

"Woah hey there tiger, don't be so cruel to yourself." It was then my turn to give him a pointed look.

" Okay look you were only pointing out the truth okay?" He said while scratching the back of his neck.

"But I had no right, truth or not, it was rude I should've just said hi." He then stayed silent and it looked like he was thinking of something.

After a minute or two passed he stated, "Okay I got it,"

" Got what?" I interrupted which he ignored and continued, " How about we start all over again. Look we'll both turn around walk a few steps then when I say to we'll turn and face each other, and walk towards another again and say hi, okay?"

Although I was skeptical I muttered a low okay. He smiled like a little kid on christmas morning and said, "Okay! Let's do it."

We both turned and walked, I then stopped waiting for his signal. Which shortly after, it indeed came, "Okay now turn and do what I said."

We both turned simultaneously and acted as if we didn't know each other. He softly bumped into me and states, " Oh I'm sorry." I wanted to laugh, but thought against it since it seemed he really wanted to do this.

"Oh it's fine." I quietly spoke out to him. He then proceeded by saying, " Hi my names Jason, Jason Scott."

I giggled a little because I instantly thought of James Bond. "Hi Jason my name's Mercenary, Mercenary Williams." I mimicked what he had said.

"And before you say anything, yes I understand it's an odd name." I instantly stated knowing that he was going to find my name odd just like most people I encountered.

But boy was I wrong.

"Actually I like it. It's different and pretty cool." He reassured me, you'd think he would have paused between words trying to choose them carefully to not offend me.

But he didn't he told me this as if it were any ordinary name.

And I can tell by the way he looked at me directly in the eyes and without a stutter or pause, that he meant it.

With that, that simple action I felt as if I can trust him with anything. "So why you here?" I asked.

"I came with Billy, Billy Cranston," He told me, I nodded my head. "Yeah I've came here with Billy before, y'know he really misses coming here with his dad." We both then nodded in agreement.

I stepped away from him smiling like an idiot at the fact that we were that close to each other. And then I began to stare out looking at the town's lights. He stared at me as I did this.

I then did the unthinkable, I told him the thoughts that ran through my head. "I wish I could just grab my things and leave this town." I told him he then lightly laughed, so I turned and looked at him.

"What are you laughing at?" I asked smiling at him. He looked at me with a look I couldn't describe. "I just, I would like to also." He told me with sincerity, and turned to look at the town's lights again.

"Why?" I asked without thought. He frowned a bit with sadness in his eyes he responded, "It's just everyone looks at me like I ran over their dog. Like twice."

This had caused me to laugh for some unknown reason, he looked at me smiling a little.

"Oh no I'm sorry I didn't mean to laugh, that honestly sucks," I told him he nodded as in an okay.

He then just stared out once again and by the look of his face I could see that an idea suddenly had hit him.

"So why don't we leave, you and I, away from this town." He told me taking a step closer to me.

By the look of his face it looked like he was begging me to say yes.

"Okay I got a car, but where would we go?" I told him agreeing completely to go with him. I didn't know him and he doesn't know me.

But what I did know was that I would do anything for him, for him to be happy.

"Well I got a van, and we could go anywhere." He walked closer to me and I turned fully in his direction.

"A van, yeah 'cause that's not creepy, apart from the fact that you were stalking me." I told him stepping closer in his direction.

"Yeah, even though it's not that kind of van, we should go in your car." He stepped even closer we were now chest to chest, hearts beating as one. And then we heard an explosion go off.

"Billy," we said simultaneously and then we began to run.
