W1(32)

“Jerry… erm Johnson? Jerry Johnson!” The teacher called out nervously at which Jerry chuckled silently.

“Present sir.”

“Drake Fernando.”

“Present sir.”

It had been days since they had started school, at first it was a difficult thing for Jerry and Jack to adjust after the revelation.

Their peers’ reactions were varied, some were a bit scared of them, some were rather mocking due to the fact that they were the only normals in the Johnsons family and the rest had different sorts of reactions.

An investigation was done about Jerry by many including the IAC but nothing, not even a single thing was found out about him stunning everyone including Elen.

True, she and Mike had once tried and found nothing but decided to brush it off since they had him in their confines and he would be crazy to dare do anything mad. Now as an IAC member, she had wanted to use their influence to find out things about Jerry but found nothing.

Elen became a bit cautious after this but still didn’t change her attitude toward Jerry since even if he was deadly, she was at least comforted by the fact that not only was Jerry a good person but was also within her control.

Jack had it harder due to the fact that he had to cover Jerry who had lost his memories and himself together, it was hard trying to hide the fact that Jerry had amnesia but since they both had few friends it was a bit easier.

Back to school, Jerry was giggling to himself while thinking of his date with Jack after school, getting permission became relatively easy thanks to their identity and they had a chance to go on a date out of school.

“Drake, I’ll be leaving then,” Jerry said to a blue-eyed boy with short blue hair, it was Drake and he had shortened his hair.

“Fill me in later on,” Drake said with a smirk at which Jerry only smiled back

He and Drake had gotten relatively closer after the incident, he, John, Carl, and Daren were the only ones who knew about his relationship, and Jack along with Rita who he had also gotten quite close to due to certain reasons.

“Sure~,” Jack said with a wink.

“Darling, are you ready?” Jack said while leisurely leaning on a green and white bike and stretching out his hand at Jerry who reached out and took it making Jack pull him into his embrace effortlessly

“The latest model? Aren’t you rich honey?” Jerry said teasingly with a smile while planting a kiss on Jack’s cheek making him grin in happiness.

“I’m staying in front!” Jerry suddenly said with glittering eyes sparkling with mischief.

“Jerry, am the one driving and it’s not safe for you…” Jack tried to explain patiently.

“Honey~, please?” Jerry asked with pitiful eyes making Jack soften all over.

Jack sweat-dropped, was this the real Jerry? So without his memories, this was how he usually is.... so adorable.

“Fine~,” Jack said then climbed on the bike, it was the latest version being sold and if ‘Dina’ still had her memories she would have even truly stunned by its futuristic designs, even her most talented teacher at school probably wouldn’t be able to pull out building it.

Jerry grinned in satisfaction and Jack swore he saw cat ears on his head, hoisting himself up in front of the bike Jerry sat down.

“Woopie!! Hey Jack, I like how you’re hugging me but am supporting your whole weight, and holy you’re heavy!” Jerry shouted with a red face due to the wind as they drove off.

“I told you that this would happen.” Jack hummed pleasingly

“No, you didn’t! And this is so uncomfortable, ah~!” Jerry whined.

“Wait! You’re really crying?!” Jack asked in shock.

“It’s just the wind!” Jerry denied.

Jack chuckled and thought of a solution and finally found one.

“Ok, ok, try sitting on my lap sideways?” Jack said, not even sure of what he was even saying.

“Okay!” Jerry said.

Jack was still confused at Jerry’s next action when Jerry suddenly sat in between his thighs while wrapping his legs around him, Jerry circled his hand around his neck and peeked at his cheek with a wink.

“Done~” Jerry cooed as his long lashes were so close that Jack thought that he could count it if he tried.

The bright face that suddenly appeared in his vision had a lovely smile that he found himself falling into a daze forgetting that he was riding a bike.

‘I want to… to… eat him up! He’s so cute, agh!!’ Jack thought in his mind hopelessly as he was totally captivated by the cuteness.

“Jack watch out! What the hell….!” Jerry suddenly screamed.

Jack and Jerry nearly got into an accident the next second because Jack dazed off only for a sec while still driving!

“Sorry, truly sorry,” Jack said with a polite bow at the kind officer who spotted them but didn’t inconvenience them, only giving them a severe warning.

“Next time, be careful! Don’t go on lovey-dovey with your boyfriend while driving! Is that understood?!” The police officer said "Yeesh, youngsters this day, trying to kill themselves ah..."

“Yes, yes.”

Jerry sat on the bike with a sad face, feeling quite bad for what he did. Jack walked up to him and sighed making Jerry stuff his face in his folded arms and knees.

‘He’s been acting quite endearing today… no, ever since he lost his memory, ah, this Jer is truly bad for my heart,’ Jack thought helplessly

“It’s okay, we didn’t get into trouble, and the officer was a kind officer,” Jack said.

“Really?” Jerry asked with teary eyes.

“Yeah,” Jack said with a small smile, and the next minute Jerry's mood flipped like a coin.

“Then let’s go get ice cream!” Jerry said while standing up from where he was and skidding off with Jack following along helplessly.

***

“Mmm~ so good!” Jerry moaned with his hands on his cheeks and closed his eyes, obviously relishing the ice cream.

They had chosen a place with few people due to the fact that they were quite celebrities but even at that person where noticing them at a glance but the duo didn’t care.

‘I feel he acted all hurt back then on purpose, he seems pretty fine to me,' Jack thought with squinted eyes.

“Want?” Jerry raised a scoop of ice cream close to his mouth with a soft smile making Jack’s heart flutter like butterflies.

“Sure,” Jack ate the ice cream all the while staring at Jerry, making Jerry flush, the direct and focused gaze on him made his heart beat weirdly.

He felt like he, Jerry, was indirectly being eaten by Jack… the way he parted his mouth, the way he lapped up the vanilla ice cream with his tongue all the while staring at him intently, Jerry gulped, his body suddenly was feeling hot.

“It’s sweet,” Jack said.

For a moment Jerry thought he heard ‘You’re sweet’ but he then again was probably delusional.

Seeing how pink Jerry was, Jack thought that he did look really sweet with that look… Jack’s face darkened as his thoughts trailed off to ‘not so safe’ grounds.

He nodded off the nasty thoughts in his head and caught a solemn Jerry playing with his strawberry and vanilla ice cream with his spoon.

“What might be wrong with my charming boyfriend?” Jack asked with a teasing smile.

Jerry glared weakly at him before dropping his gaze down again.

“You don’t like your ice cream? You can have mine or order another if you want,” Jack said.

Jack’s ice cream was banana and strawberry flavor with vanilla which hadn’t even been touched yet, he had been too busy watching his boyfriend who he just couldn’t get enough of.

“Jack be truthful, ‘kay?” Jerry raised his pretty blue orbs which looked coated with a layer of anxiousness.

“What is it?” seeing Jerry worried, Jack became worried too.

“Are you…really my mate?”

***

“Mate? Why would he use that term?” Jack thought tossing and turning on his bed, “I wonder….” Jack sighed in defeat.

He knew it was very wrong but he just couldn’t help it, the more he acted as Jerry’s ‘boyfriend’ the more he got attached and the more his fear of him getting his memories back became more and more severe.

He was confused by what Jack meant by him being his mate.

“*Gasp!* Could it be…..?” Jack thought of a terrifying thought but soon rejected it, if Jerry really had even mated then his pheromones wouldn’t have affected him at all as it would have only affected his mate, and even if there was a possibility of that person still being around… he would be ten times better than them then!

***

Jerry lay down and pondered what had happened today-

[Flashback]-

“Huh?” Jack asked confusedly.

“I don’t know, that’s just my inner feeling… like, I already have a mate, also…” Jerry trailed off while looking away.

Why was he saying this? Jack had already said that he was his boyfriend so why would he have had a mate before? But then, what about the guy who first spoke in his mind?

Although he lost his memories, he still had the general knowledge about mates and had learned that mates should be able to communicate telepathically, just like that dude… that called him a...

“Transmigrator,” Jerry blurted out gaining Jack’s attention.

“What?” Jack asked curiously.

“Nothing,” Jerry said while turning away.

“Really?” Jack teased.

“Yes, Baka,” Jerry said with a playful frown.

“Baka?” Jack hummed in amusement.

“What... ev… er,” Jerry flushed even more, it seemed he shouldn’t have watched too much anime.

“You and your love for anime, even with your memory wipe, you're still watching it,” Jack hummed.

“It's just so interesting” Jerry defended.

“Hm.... wanna try pineapple pizza next? They’re literally delicacies thrown down from heaven by god! There are so good, you’ll like them,” Jack said.

“Hmmm, okay then,” Jerry said.

[End of Flashback]

“Somehow, he brushed off the topic…” Jerry muttered.

He had dreams, weird ones, he had ones where his memories seemed to be overlapping, like the memory of two people, he couldn’t really remember but he woke up and suddenly felt that something was missing, he forgot his memories but not his basic knowledge, things like the three races were still in his mind was still there.

In his dream, he dreamt of having a mate who looked really like Jack, just more mature and with long hair, he was confused and decided to browse things about mate and all just to know if his confusion could be somewhat cleared.

That was when he came across the fact that mates could communicate telepathically, and he remembered the voice in his mind that time that he had woken up.

After that incident, he never heard from it again, why though?

“Hello. Hi? Hey!” Jerry groaned in frustration.

This was the nth time he had reached out to call ‘it’ but it never answered to his annoyance.

“Rude much?!” Jerry said to no one in particular.

He was conflicted, maybe he was just overthinking things, maybe he actually didn’t have a mate yet, Jack was a normal and couldn't mark someone, and as for that voice… that it spoke in his mind didn’t necessarily mean it was his mate right?

Besides, it never came back anyways and he had a boyfriend, Jack! As for that dream, it can always be fake! Yeah, dreams sometimes were stupid and unrealistic, and interpreting reality from them can be quite nonsensical sometimes.

“I have a hottie for a boyfriend who loves me, a good home, food,- and a dwelling place, what more could I ask for? As for mating, I don't really care as long as I have my Jacky,” Jerry muttered as he pulled out a set of video games to start playing.

[Meanwhile]-

*Clang Clang Clang*

The crisp sound of a boot hitting the floor resounded throughout as a shadow made his way to an office.

Opening it, he saw a gorgeous male’s side profile, with ink-black hair that fell over covering nearly all his face leaving only a minor glancing of the long lashes fluttering as it peered at the screen in front.

Jackson frowned before calling out-

“Zero-one.”

The black-haired male faced him, his spring eyes which were beautiful yet emotionless laid on Jackson making him gulp a bit, even when Mother still had him in control and his memories lost, he was still so intimidating.

“You won’t be able to tell her the truth as you won’t return.”
