Gary was exhausted, his first week of school had been completely hectic. He hadn't managed to talk to Barry about the Aimes either, they'd been together all week and it wasn't like he could say 'oh by the way, your girlfriend is an evil sorceress that's probably going to kill you.' Especially not in front of her.
He had also not made any new friends, because he had been to busy obsessing over saving Barry and stalking the Aimes. How had his life descended to this?!
He had to keep an eye on her, become her friend. His father was always saying "keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." So that was exactly what he was going to do. Then he remembered that Valentines was coming up. He smiled. It was tomorrow and they would be making Valentines cards in class. He could give one to her as a gift, which would make them friends!
Just as he was plotting this, the dorm door swung open with quite some force. Barry entered looking very frustrated, he ran his hand through his hair. "Ah there you are, you little worm!" Barry exclaimed, turning to Gary, who was sitting on his bed seemingly doing nothing. "You are such a little creep!" He attacked, Gary stood up hesitantly and held up his hands.
"W-What's wrong Barry? I was... uh... actually looking for you too!" Gary started, giving Barry a friendly smile. Barry lifted Gary off the ground by his collar. Gary grabbed Barry's arm worriedly. "What... uh... what are you doing?!" Gary questioned, frightened out of his mind.
"You've been such a disgusting creep, stalking my girlfriend, ALL WEEK!" He shouted and hit Gary against the wall, Gary exclaimed in pain, having never been hit before. "Wimp..." Barry muttered. "Stop creeping around my girlfriend, got it?!" He was about to hit Gary against the wall again for good measure when Gary suddenly shouted.
"Your girlfriend is an evil sorceress and is probably going to kill you!" He exclaimed, holding his hands up in defence. Barry stopped. When had RB used magic this week? How did this wimp know about the magic? Had RB told him too? Would he warn people?
"What?" Barry asked quietly. He lowered Gary back down to the ground and Gary sorted his collar out.
"She's a descendant from a family of evil sorceress'. She's an Aimes! They've killed so many people over the generations. I thought I should warn you..." Gary explained to Barry, taking his stunned silence as confusion. Barry blinked a couple of times. "I was thinking we should warn everyone about her, that way she can't take anyone off guard with her magic." Gary explained. If everyone knew, then they would be able to take her down together.
"I know... I know she has magic!" Barry exclaimed and picked up Gary again. "I swear, if you tell anyone about her, I will make your life hell!" He threatened. Gary was surprised by Barry's response. Why was he protecting the Aimes? Had she already got him under a spell? He couldn't feel any magical energy emanating off of him...
