Chapter 33- Daddy's Approval? How About...No.

Earth POV:

Rubbing my aching nose I followed Wu to the door. I already met Rush one time but I only heard about Maya from them.

I wonder what she is like if she can handle someone as wild as Rush...

"Here come on in, thank you for coming."

Wu greeted our guests and gestured with his hand for them to come in. Rush's bright red hair and flashy armor were the first thing that I noticed when they came through the door, she was just too eye catching so only after a few seconds I noticed the small figure standing next to her. Maya was probably around 1.63 meters tall, had an oval face with chubby cheeks, full pink lips and dark brown eyes which were almost black in color. Her hair was dark brown as well, being silky, shiny and straight, reaching only her shoulders. Her build wasn't that thin either but you could see she had great carves and was in great shape. Maya was dressed in a light blue robe with white flowery patterns on it. She wasn't ugly at all, but not especially eye catching as well, you could say that in some cultures back in my old world Maya would been seen as stunning though.

"Hey, I'm Maya, nice to meet you Earth."

Maya smiled at me, revealing a set of white teeth. When she smiled her eyes seemed to close in the shape of crescents and looked like the anime characters you could see on TV back in my old world. I found it charming.

"Nice to meet you Maya, I really like your smile."

Oh, I blurted it out...

Maya blushed and seemed not to know what to say. After a minute she awkwardly smiled again and responded.

"Thank you, hehe, I believe everyone are more beautiful when they smile, don't you think?"

I looked at Wu before answering her.

"Definitely! But some people have stupidly charming smiles, although they are already too beautiful though..."

Maya in turn looked at Rush and nodded her head.

"I totally agree with you. Some people really have no shame, smiling like they do..."

I feel like I just found a fellow human who gets my worries....

"You seem to be getting along well."

Wu smiled again, proving our point, before laying his arm around my shoulders in a possessive manner. I blinked at him.

What are you getting all possessive for?! Just a few minutes ago I confessed that I love you!

"I agree. They really seem to be getting along well."

To my surprise, Rush did the same with Maya as Wu did with me, pulling her closer to herself. Maya and I both switched looks with each other and sighed inwardly at our partners.

"Rush, I thought I told you to stop doing that. We are just getting along..."

"Wu, she is right. I just think we will make good friends, that's it. So...Can you please release me now?"

Wu and Rush seemed to think about it for a minute before they both responded:

"No."

Maya and I switched looks again, looks that said 'that's what I thought....'.

I'm so glad to have someone that gets it!

"Anyway, I know asked you to bring Maya in order to examine Earth and see if he is alright now, but didn't we agree you will wait for me to text you?"

Wu spoke to Rush, both of them ignoring Maya's and mine presence in the room with them.

"I know. I planed to wait for you to text us, but I for some reason got a gut feeling that said we should hurry and get here... Sorry for not waiting after all, we seemed to have interrupted something here."

Great gut feelings she has!

"So you say you got a gut feeling... Interesting..."

A chill ran down my back as I felt the temperature around Wu drop a degree.

"Let me try something."

As Wu said that he leaned down, almost kissing me, but a second before he actually managed to kiss me, a loud thump was heard near the door, distracting us. Wu frowned and I turned red as we both looked toward the door. Voices were heard from outside.

"Are you ok man? You took quite the fall now."

"Ah, yeah, help me up."

"Sure.... Hey, why did you fall by the way?"

"...."

"What?"

"I-..I don't know... It felt like I was pushed by an invisible force..."

"Hahaha, don't be ridiculous. Here, grab my hand..."

At that point Wu's face grew even grimmer.

"It can't be..."

Wu and Rush were the ones to switch looks this time.

"What can't be? What is it?"

Wu looked at me, once again leaning down, almost kissing me when another thump was heard outside the door, interrupting our kiss once again. Voices were heard again from outside the door.

"Ouch man! I told you to help me up! Why did you fall on top of me instead?"

"The fuck? I felt like I was pushed but there's no one behind me... Could this place be haunted?"

"Shit! Don't say stuff like that! Let's get out of here!"

The sound of footsteps running away was heard until it was to far for me to hear it.  The temperature around the room felt like it dropped below zero, giving me shivers and I slowly looked up at Wu in fear. Wu's beautiful face had such a big frown on them he looked like he just lost his entire family.

Oh... Wait... He DID lose his family....

"No.... Don't tell me-....?"

This time Rush spoke with a look of shock on her face. Maya also looked pretty shaken up. I just looked between the both of them and Wu with a question mark above my head.

"Seriously! What the heck is going on?! Why are you all so shocked about someone falling outside the room?!"

They all looked at me silently, making me twitch in my spot uncomfortably before Maya spoke up.

"Earth... You.... What kind of relationship do you have with our god?"

"Relationship? Who, with [Admin]?"

I was getting more and more confused by the second.

"[Admin]?"

"That's what he told me to call him..."

Wu looked uncomfortable.

"I thought he just gave you some skills after you came here... I never thought you actually spoke with him... This is bad... If he won't approve of you and I..."

Wu let me go and went to sit on the bed, grabbing his head with his hands, supporting it.

"And I thought we finally can be together... Why does everything with you have to go the hard way..."

"Huh? What does [Admin] have to do with any of this?"

Maya and Rush also went and sit on the bed next to Wu, rubbing his back in order to comfort him. Maya spoke to me this time.

"Earth, [Admin] isn't the name of our god..."

"It isn't? But he told me...-?"

"I don't know why he told you otherwise, but the fact that he spoke with you in the first place is already pretty weird, he is known to be a loner, after all... But anyway, his real name is not [Admin], but is [Arafel], which means 'fog' in the ancient language."
