Sunny took the paper and looked at it for a moment and after a few moments he stretched and laid on the couch staring into the ceiling until he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
After he woke up Nephis was crounching next to him with soft smile hidding a bit of sadness.
Did you go out last night?
Sunny slowly opened his eyes and looked at Nephis.
Yeah.
Why didn't you come back to our bed?
I don't know. I guess my mind was elsewhere.
He sight deeply and continued.
At first I wanted to conquer the Forgotten shore and stay with you and just laze around but that's something neither of us want. I still want to make cakes for you. Speaking of which.
He stood up and made his way to the kitchen.
Coffee?
Nephis followed his movement with her eyes and said while straightening as well.
Yes, please.
He calmly prepared 2 cups of espresso and while the coffee was in the making he opened the fridge, picked up 2 plates and prepated 2 pieces of chocolate cheescake. He set them up in from of Nephis who was sitting behind their dinning table. Table was ractangle shaped placed in the middle of their living room. She was looking at him calmly and picked up a paper that was on it and started reading it as he set up the table with their cups and plates of sweets to start their day.
She waved the paper in her hand while still reading it to catch Sunny's attention.
What is this?
It's my: To do list. So I won't feel like I don't have anything to do and so I don't lose focus.
What do you need to meet Jet for?
Just a meeting.
Would you mind If I were to join?
Sunny shrugged while taking his seat facing Nephis and said.
Not at all.
As they were enjoying their sweet morning Neph's phone rings suddenly disrupting their moment of peace.
She stares at it for a moment and picks it up after a while.
Neph's face darken for some reason, but she reluctently agrees. To whoever was on the other side talking to her.
Who was it?
Some marketing firm. I guess I have to become the fan picture again.
Well, have fun with that. While we are at it I'll be meeting Kai later….
He said that while he was putting on his dark oversized hoodie which was left on his armchair since yesterday and so he wasn't facing her.
Neph?
He finally poked his head out of the hoodie and faced her, looking at her blushing face because she was enjoying his cake and wasn't able to speak... again.
Sunny smiled at her and said.
Cute.
Nephis swallowed and blushed while trying to avoid his gaze.
Stop.
I mean it. You really are cute.
cute…
Well, I'll be going...
He stepped closer and kissed her cheek before facing away from her putting his dark black cap as well as hoodie up and walked out of the house with words.
Have fun, Neph.
Sunny exited their house and walked into the city where he bought 1 dreamscape pod after which he called Kai.
They met in the shopping center both wearing caps, dark glasses and black masks. Sunny looked very fashinable with his hoodie he had some pretty comfortable sweatpants. Kai send him those... obviously. Before he left for the city... well more like right after they got to the waking world. Sunny was hiding like this because he was an ascended not officially but still not to mention his name and true name were widely known across the city. It was a new expirience for him so he was trying to act normal which would be close to impossible if Kai wasn't there to help him out on how to act. Kai wore a long light brown jacket with white shirt and some fasionable trousars.
Kai.
Hi Sunny. I am happy you wanted to meet but what for exactly?
I want you to help me styling me up. Like you said you would back in Forgotten shore.
Oh? What's the occasion?
For Dreamscape for now. From what I know you can put cloths you own in real life into dreamscape is that true?
Yes. It is.
I want you to make it look as dreatful but a very usable in battle.
Kai tilted his head and thought for a moment and said.
I think I have something in mind, although I don't know if they will be dreadful after all dreadful and fashinable are on a different spectrum but still... follow me.
After some time they entered a certain fashion store and asked them to close to which when they asked.
Why ?
To this they just lifted up their glasses as if simultaniously and took of their masks and caps.
Kai just put a finger on his lips letting them know to keep quiet.
After a while they closed their shop for maintanence.
Sunny I must ask.
yeah?
Why did you ask me? Weren't you offered any marketing deals? I mean you are one of the true name holders and everyone recieved some deals so it is surprising... I mean why wouldn't they ask you.
I trust you, Kai. As for the second question. I don't know I put my phone on DND. Master Jet said it was a good idea if I want to have quiet. Here take a look if you want.
He handed him his phone before putting on cloaths prepared by Kai.
Kai unlocked the screen and froze for a moment.
Sunny?
Yes?
You have almost 100 missed calls.
what? I don't even know 100 people's number. Isn't that a lot of numbers to remember anyway?
Kai sight and looked through the calls ocassionaly deleting some.
There, now it's just 3. I named them for you. One is for magazine one is from the press and the last one is from government.
How do you… oh forget I even attempted to ask.
Already forgotten.
Sunny nodded while looking into the mirror and nodded again with a satisfied smile.
Sunny wore fully black clothing covering his palms as well as feet. It looked like some rags but since Kai stylished it it still looked fancy. Sunny was convinced that even if Kai was thrown into trash he would make it look pretty.
After that Sunny headed home and made those dreadful calls and set up the meeting with them although reluctantly.
As Sunny was looking into the mirror set in their livingroom of his house he wispered something it was more of a mauthing words once he blinked he ran his fingers throught his hair and sigh.
Is it really normal for my hair to be this long? I mean it is true that I didn't cut it for 3 years but still. It is already about to reach half of my back. Should I get a tie?
Happy leaned on the wall behind him and said.
No. I'd just tie it like this.
He tied Sunny's hair into a knot.
Both Sunny and Happy stood still for a moment.
No, that's terrible.
Sunny and Happy turned slightly looking at Gloomy sitting behind the counter with his head hung low.
So what would you recomned, Gloomy?
Gloomy looked at Happy and said coldly.
Cut it, obviously.
Sunny thought about it but dismissed his idea.
I like it this way. Do you have any other ideas not invoilving me cutting my hair?
Gloomy just shook his head and leaned back in his chair.
Nope. Ask Haughty. He is good with those things.
Haughty grabbed Gloomy's chair and looked down at him.
Why thank you. I didn't know you can give compliments, Gloomy.
Shut up.
Haughty ignored him and looked at Sunny.
I think the best idea would be to have a woman's opinion about it. For now just leave it....flowing I guess. It's not long enough for you to need a tie but it's not exactly short either.
Sunny nooded to that and undid his knot made by Happy.
That sounds like a good idea. Anyway. Now go.
Before you dismiss us can I ask when are we going to kill something? I mean we can't exactly fight in that...game you want to play. Your secret about us would be widely known and you don't what that do you.
Sunny looked at Happy and smiled.
Soon, once we start you will beg me to take a break. So take as much time off as you want guys.
Happy and the rest nodded slightly and dissapeared into the space around Sunny. They didn't join his shadow only Creepy exchanged himself with Gloomy and they went around the city for some exploration of their new suroundings.
Sunny dropped down on his sofa and put his feet on the table in front of him. As he did that Luna jumped from his shoulder into his lap and laid there comfortably. As he patted her he checked his phone again and saw a app he didn't know about and he knew he didn't put it there.
What is this thing?
He opened it up showing him just a bunch of pictures. At the bottom there were options from left to right. Save - Create - skip
