《I can't seem to let you go (A story I thought was Style but isn't)》Chapter 18
Advertisement
Stan and Kenny pulled into Kyle's aunt's driveway at about 2 pm. Both Stan and Kyle just sat there, unaware of what to do now. Kenny had said that when they had arrived that he was going to tell him that he loved him, but Stan wanted to do the same. The car was quiet, having shut it off when they got there. A million questions ran through both of their heads.
'Was Kyle in there?'
'What would he say if he saw us?'
'Does he feel the same?'
'Is he okay?'
'Maybe we should just leave."
'Was all this just for nothing?'
But Kenny took a breath, and leaned back in his seat. "Go." Was all he said and Stan looked confused. "Go to him, tell him you love him, be happy with him. I know he loves you, I know you love him. You both deserve each other." Kenny said, voice cracking slightly. Stan shook his head. "I've tried for so long to get Kyle to forgive me, I love him. I really do... but no, Kenny, I can't let you do that. I see how you both look when you talk about each other, I see the way you both smile at each other. If anyone deserves to be with him it's you. I could never make him as happy as you do." Stan said.
"I know when he see's you he'll throw his arms around you, you'll tell him how you feel, and you'll both be happy together. Kyle loves you Kenny, he told me he did. Kyle deserves someone who can give it their all and not be put down by someone else's words. Someone who will stop at nothing to be by his side, someone who loves him, and is able to take care of him and his heart. That someone is you Kenny. Now get up and get your man Kenny, because he's not mine." Stan smiled, though it was obvious it was hard on him. Kenny looked at Stan, wide eyes and all before throwing his arms around him.

"Thank you..." Kenny mumbled before getting out of the car. Kenny felt the world slow as he walked closer to the door, Kenny continuously reminded himself that he could do and...
'Knock knock knock.'
Kenny knocked on the door and waited a minute or two. No answer. Kenny looked back at Stan, who looked just as confused. Suddenly he heard the handle turn and he whipped his head around quickly. "Hi, how may I help you... Kenny...?" Those sparkling jade green eyes were looking right into Kenny's. Making him feel weak in the knees but he smiled anyway.
"Hey Kyle, I know this is all kind of sudden, but I have something to tell you."
"Kenny!" Kyle jumped up, wrapping his arms around Kenny quickly. Kenny chuckled as he hugged back tightly. "I'm so sorry! My stupid fucking cousins put my phone under a car and had it ran over before I could text you back!" Kyle mumbled into his chest, pulling him closer.
Kenny inhaled, taking in the smell of Kyle's shampoo. Finally they pulled away, a blush covering both their faces while they looked away. "I have so many questions but I can ask them later. What is it that you wanna tell me?" Kyle asked, closing the front door and looking at Kenny.
Kenny looked at Kyle, heart beating rapidly. This was it. Kenny took in everything, the red curl falling behind his ear, the soft curve of his cheek as he clenched his jaw, the upturn of his eye as he smiled. Kenny inhaled before cupping Kyle's cheek.
"I'm in love with you, Kyle. I wanna take you actual dates and treat you the way you deserve. Will you please be my actual boyfriend, no more fake dating?" Kenny asked, voice wavering.
Kyle stood there, eyes wide as he stared at Kenny. Kenny frowned, maybe everyone was wrong, maybe Kyle didn't love him. "I- I just wanted to let you know..." Kenny mumbled, turning around to leave but Kyle quickly grabbed him. Turning him around Kyle pulled Kenny into a kiss, pressing himself close to him. Kenny immediately kissed back, wrapping his arms around Kyle's waist.

Eventually they pulled away both smiling and blushing like idiots. "I cannot tell you how badly I wanted to do that. The day you broke up with me was the day I was going to tell you how much I wanted to be with you." Kenny said, holding Kyle closely to him. Kyle smiled at him with that bright smile and Kenny felt his legs go weak. "I knew either you or Stan would do something crazy since I never answered the phone. How did you even get here?" Kyle asked with a chuckle, grabbing Kenny's hand.
"Well actually about that.." Kenny said, rubbing the back of his neck. Kyle turned his head and held back a laugh. "Is that Stan's truck? Did you steal Stan's truck?" Kyle asked, looking at Kenny with mock disapproval. "No, no, Stan's in there." Kenny chuckled. Kyle looked over to the car and waved smiling, he could see Stan wave back. Kenny cupped Kyle's cheek, turning his face towards him.
"Kyle, I mean this with all my heart when I say I love you. I promise I will never hurt you intentionally, and if I do I swear I will do everything in my power to make it right. I never want to make you cry unless it's out of happiness. I want to give you not just the world or the sky, I want to give you the whole goddamn universe. I really love you." Kenny said. Kyle couldn't fight the tears that welled up in his eyes, after the whole break up with Stan, nobody had ever said anything like that to him that made him feel so loved.
"Kenny, I love you so much..." Kyle mumbled, grabbing Kenny's face and pulling him into another kiss. Kenny immediately melted, wrapping his arms around Kyle's waist. Both of them were smiling into the kiss.
Stan watched from the car silently, a small bittersweet smile crossing his face. He was happy for them, of course he was, he's the one that made Kenny go up onto that step and tell him. But something inside him hurt, he still loved Kyle and it hurt to see him kiss someone else. But Kyle was happy, that's all that mattered.
Soon was broken out his trance by Kyle waving him over. Slowly, Stan got out of the car, walking over to them. Kyle smiled and gave Stan a hug, which he solemnly returned. "Stan! It's so good to see you both! C'mon, you both come inside and sit on the couch. My parents, aunt, and cousins, went to the movies so it's just Ike and I." Kyle said as he pulled both boys into the house.
Eventually, the excitement had calmed down and they all were sitting on the couch talking. Kenny had his arm around Kyle's waist and Kyle couldn't stop smiling. Stan told them how happy he was for them and pushed his feelings down. "So, Stan, how are things with Wendy?" Kyle asked. Stan scoffed, his sour mood now becoming visible at the mention of his ex. "I broke up with her." Stan said. "Why?" Kenny asked, shuffling a bit. Stan simply shook his head, telling them he didn't want to mess up the good time they were having.
Both Kenny and Kyle agreed and they all eventually ended up watching a movie. Despite everything that had happened, they still stayed together. They hadn't been torn apart. Both Stan and Kyle reminded themselves of everything they've been through together. How, no matter what, they've always ended up right by each other's side. They weren't made to be separated, they needed each other. Kyle was happy, and Stan was happy for Kyle, even if it did hurt.
They all finally felt whole again.

Marrow
Marrow was old... older than me or you. Older than the nation he lived in. And older than anyone he knew. Which is not surprising, because he did not know anyone else. He had been sitting, or perhaps leaning is the more apt expression, in a closet for many, many years, and had done nothing but stare. But eating, or rather chewing, a spider opened up another world to him. A world with a voice that was talking to him - to HIM! Marrow did not get what the voice was saying, but that was secondary at this point. And Marrow started to feel restless. Nuff said. If you like a sometimes quirky skeleton as the main character and want to ride along for its coming of age, or perhaps rather coming of sapience story... give it a shot. It is a litrpg context with skills, levels, heroes and monsters... and a skeleton. Not sure yet how fast the skeleton will level... we'll have to wait and see. As a disclaimer... this is my secondary novel... my main story is ongoing and most of my time is dedicated to that. As such, new chapters will, at first, be rather infrequent and irregular. If things go well, I may shift more attention to the story, but we shall see how things go.
8 143Ultima Deus - The Last God
After the Great War, humanity has managed to survive through the passage of the controversial NCRA act and the advent of "Project Deus", or "Project God" - The creation of a Virtual Realm, "Aeterna". Praised as the salvation of mankind and the fulfillment of its grandest ambitions by some, others revile it as a tool to enthrall and enslave the minds of humanity's most vulnerable individuals. Project Deus promises to grant divinity to the select few who rise to the highest ranks in Aeterna, effectively becoming Gods and Goddesses. Forced to enter Aeterna, one man swears vengeance by becoming the Ultima Deus, or Last God. The God to end all gods. This is his story. Please note the following: Mature content, mostly gore and gratuitous violence. No immediate ultime power-ups. This is a grindy, feisty slugfest starting off from the very bottom of the pyramid, and measured, progressive and very deliberate upgrades. UPDATE: Hiatus is over, regular chapters incoming!

Today was a great day. I died. It wasn't a great day because I died. No, it was a great day and I died. One has nothing to do with the other. Enough nonsense. Let's continue with the topic we're all curious about. Why was it a great day? I achieved my dream to transform my real life into an MMORPG. Grinding skills, leveling up, collecting coins, going on an adventure, and making progress on my main quest. The dream of every gamer. And no, I'm not mad. Let me give you some context before we continue. I'll keep it short, for we have more urgent matters to discuss. Art by: Roland Deaconu
