An Experiment To Save Humanity Chpt. 13: Teleporting

[ruddiestbubbles]

It's back after a long break!

So here we go with Chpt. 13, in which teams are arranged and teleporting is done


Guude's POV

I woke up with Bdubs still beside me, my head still on his chest. It was odd how right this felt, how I felt so safe.

Feeling a lot better comparing to earlier, I carefully get up and pull on some pajama pants before making my way to the kitchen.

I make a pot of coffee and pour myself a cup. I take a seat at the table, sipping at my coffee.

Many thoughts were on my mind, but it was mainly Bdubs and what had happened between us.

Eventually, a groggy Bdubs meanders into the kitchen.

"Hey" I say awkwardly

"Mornin" Bdubs replies, pouring himself a cup of coffee and sitting across from me at the small table.

I look at the dark brown liquid in my cup, feeling embarrassed.

"So, about last night" I start, trying to break the overly awkward silence that hung in the air. "I'm sorry. I really am. We can just forget it ever happened"

"What if I don't want to forget?" Bdubs asks

"What?" I ask, looking up at him confused

"What if I don't want to forget. What if I liked it?"

"Are... Are... you say you did?"

"I did." Bdubs grabs my hands "And, I feel that this could go somewhere."

"But... I'm married and have a daughter" I protest but don't pull my hands away, loving the way his soft hands felt holding mine.

"I'm married too, and that ain't stoppin me. We aren't ever going to see them again, so why not have some fun"

"I... I don't just want a fuck buddy.... if that's what your looking for."

"No, no. I want a relationship. A serious one"

"Yeah... I want that too."

"Great" Bdubs says, sending me a smile

Kurt's POV

Zisteau and I approach the town hall, seeing the small group already assembled.

Dinnerbone blinks into view beside us.

"Hello everyone, we'll begin with the people heading to the new worlds. I'm pairing you up, just to keep things safer. First pair is Pause and Beef."

I had found out that the two were good friends, and they both had a crush on the other.

The two high fived, laughing.

"Alright. Good luck you two."

Dinnerbone types something on his wrist COM and the pair blink out of view.

"Next group is Paul and Vechs."

Vechs giggles as the two blink out of sight.

"Lastly, Nebris and Etho."

The two have each other a cold look, though Nebris glanced back at Etho, a moment later, a much softer expression on his face.

"Just don't kill each other." Dinnerbone says, typing on his wrist COM again.

The two disappear, leaving Zisteau and I.

"Did Kurt actually get any sleep?" Dinnerbone asks, looking at Zisteau.

"Yes, he did." Zisteau replies

"Alright. You remember when you were teleported here right?"

We both nod.

"It will feel like that, though it will be less painful this time, as your body's have already experienced it."

"Ok" Zisteau says

"You'll end up in the lab, where you were before coming here. You'll be able to use the astronomy equipment we have there, but you will be under watch."

Dinnerbone starts typing on his wrist watch again.

Zisteau grabs my hand and gives it a gentle squeeze.

Dinnerbone glances at us "good luck" he presses a button.

I suddenly feel detached and dizzy, my vision fading to black. My hand still holding Zisteau's.

Woohoo! So exciting!

But why you remind me that they will never see their families again...so sad. So sad.
