He have a hopeful expression on his face as he asked that.
"I don't want to reminded of what I don't have", I turn to the door.
"Are you certain you don't have a mark?", he turns me to face him, "not even a small one?", he sounds too sad.
"What's it of you if I get the mark or not?", I give him a curious look, " you're acting like my not getting a mark is a big deal".
" Today's supposed to be a special day for us", Reddy spoke when he two came out from the room, " today's the day we're supposed to show each other our marks; today's the day we have been patiently waiting for".
" I don't understand", I looked up at them in confusion, " why will today be a special day?".
Blondie shared a look with Reddy before he nodded, " we will show you exactly how special it should have been".
The both took hold of their shirts, and as one accord, they lifted it off their body.
A gasp left my mouth when I took in the identical rose flower that covers the entirety of their stomach. Their marks too identical to be considered fake.
" You are out mate Blacky", Blondie lifts hopeful eyes towards me, " we've been waiting for this day. A day we will be joined as one".
" This is not possible", I shake my head, my eyes still glued to the roses on their stomach, "this isn't right, the marks aren't right", I dashed out of the door, their voices calling after me.
A quick look back told me they're not following me, probably not wanting others to see the forbidden marks on their bodies.
"No something isn't right", I kept thinking, "I can't allow myself to be sucked into a fantasy that isn't real", I ran into Kwofo's room without bothering you knock.
"Damnit Buch, you need to knock before entering my room", he sits up from his bed, expertly hiding his peculiar mark from me.
" Kwofo I don't understand what's happening", I climbed into bed with him, holding him close to me, " I don't understand the strange things happening around me",
I woke up this morning expecting to recieve a mark of a helper I won't like, but instead my wishes got fulfilled.
"What's wrong? did those two do anything to you?", he looks ready to leave his room, " I will teach them a lesson they know nothing of", he threatens.
" It's not that", I managed to give him a glare despite my mind being all over the place.
" What's it then?"
I narrated everything to him, not leaving out the part where they showed me their marks.
"Why are you afraid?", he looks curiously at me, "this have been what you've been wishing for long".
" I don't know how to go about this Kwofo. How will we keep our relationship from the council? what if they find out? what will they do to me, to us?", my mind swirling all over the place.
