My World

Coffee Mugs

Rating: K plus, T -M

Warning: BoyxBoy Lovin’ a bit of mental craziness and probably some things you might not understand, please for those who have sanity left in them leave the room for this might give you some mental scaring, still here?

Well then lets begin then shall we?

Summary: What happens if you mix a doctor that reminds you of Doctor Who, a priest that claims to be Van Helsing, a talking cat bent on world domination and a regular teenager that thinks he’s not going to live to enjoy his coffee, what do you think life is like under one roof? Who cares, want some Coffee?(Yaoi & Shonen-ai)

Loth

Now you might have heard this before from many people that would write out their experiences and say how mental or crazy they are with pan cakes probably falling out of the sky, believe me when I say they know nothing of mental craziness until they’ve lived through my life and probably the next.

Well this all really began on a normal Monday morning, I had no tech to go too because it was my day off, like all Mondays, I live in a house on my own and my Uncle doesn’t come home very often being a businessman so I pretty much live here on my own with no one to look after me.

But I’m alright with that, I could handle it, being on my own all the time you can get use too…

Well anyways I was about to tell you how this whole fiasco started in the first place, I was up in my pyjamas with my teddy-like slippers, (I had them since I was ten and for some reason my feet don’t seem to be getting any bigger) enjoying some coffee to get me awake for the day. Birds were chirping, the skies were blue and the sun shine was glistening off the red petals of the roses that were in the back garden.

Yeah as you can see it’s that normal…

Well can you see something wrong with today’s picture? There’s the usual Chirping of birds, glistening of the roses, the blue skies towering over the whole town and house, in the middle of all this everyday activity like any other Monday I have experienced however the only thing that isn’t normal like every other Monday is the fact that there is a weird looking vehicle that almost looks like a football.

Also there’s a guy that you would’ve thought was Sephiroth, he had the long silver hair, only thing is his eyes are purple, he wears glasses and has a white shirt like a professor from a science class…

Have you spot the difference yet? Yes, well thank you for doing so. Being a gamer for a couple of years playing Final Fantasy Seven and watching the movie pretty much tells you that a guy with long white hair and looks like a complete psychopath is a bad sign. What to do in this case?

Should I call 999 and tell the police that for once in my life I’m not being robbed but there’s some creepy guy in my back garden in a vehicle that looks like a football?

For some reason I don’t think anyone would believe that story even though I’m law abiding, but what else am I suppose to do?

Anyway back to the situation at hand, as I was saying Sephiroth’s look a like is busy trying to see what the damages were, me on the other hand. Who is still technically half asleep and trying to get back to reality with a cup of coffee, just continued to stand there.

He looks at me, Ah so he can see me after all. I was wondering if this was all a dream, but it’s not possible for me to interact with dreams because I don’t have any like that, well any that I am aware off.

“Good morning, you don’t have an Equilibrium engine handy do you?” Aw so he can speak English? Sadly I have no idea what he was asking for?

“I’ve got coffee” I replied, lifting up the coffee mug that was in my hand, he just narrowed his eyes. Was he going to get his machete for not getting s proper reply, I sincerely hope not, the cleaner doesn’t come till Friday…

“I don’t need coffee, I need a Equilibrium Engine” What did I do walk into a plot that you would find in Stargate SG1? I just tilted my head to one side; yes I’m just this useless when it comes to conversation.

“I don’t have an Equili-what-you-my-call-it, but I have coffee” once more this was given a frown and a very angry like growl.

“Where is this place?!” I took a moment to look around the place I thought it was obvious in a ways?

“My back garden”

“I can see that!” he snaps at me like I’m some sort of simpleton (I probably am) “I mean where am I? Like town or better yet planet!”

“Your in Londonderry and this world is Earth, why are you from Mars?” I questioned, taking a calm sip of my coffee, I think I’ve put too much water in this and it tasted gross especially with the teaspoons of sugar that I put into it.

“Earth, that sounds familiar”

“It’s the blue plant with patches of green” My eyes went down on the coffee, that’s it if I don’t get any good coffee then I’m going to bed.

“Ah! That planet! You serious? That’s great finally a planet that has life other than green men!” So as I left the door which lead to the Garden, the weird man that kind of now reminds me of Doctor Who rather than Sephiroth chattered on in the much disorientated garden. I wonder if Uncle would notice if he come back early from his yearly route to America?

“Wait where do you think your going?!”

Getting coffee, can’t start a day without coffee especially when it’s Monday

You have to be crazy to start a day without coffee.

Which reminds me, what do I have to do today? Once reaching the sink and pouring the remains of my poorly made coffee down the drain I walked into the living room, can’t be bothered to go through all those stairs that keep me from my room. Besides I just hope to wake up and he’d be gone, like a very bad dream that I would rarely have.

It’s not bad but I wouldn’t call it the best thing I ever had done to me. Maybe Mrs Doris was right, I have been working too hard? I mean sitting in front of a screen doing nothing but type into a keyboard all day isn’t good for you that includes having a course at the tech that deals with computers.

I laid myself down on the couch and made my self comfortable, is it normal for teenagers that live in Northern Ireland to dream of such things that randomly come up when their not meant to have any dreams what so ever?

Never mind that just close your eyes and hope that nothing disturbs your most needed time to sleep. I have to get up to do the chores though, there’s going to Mrs Doris’ pharmacy to get some medicine for my asthma, and then get some groceries for tonight’s dinner. Melanie wants me to look after Ruth tonight doesn’t she?

“Hey! Are you going to lie there all day?!” Maybe I’m hallucinating? Then again this whole thing seems to be silly from the start to be a hallucination.

“It’s my day off” I snuggled my head into the couch’s comfy yellow pillows, grandma made these covers. I miss Grandma, if only she didn’t go beyond the boarder and entered in Texas which is also in America.

“Day off or not!! You don’t just lie around in the house all day” He’s right, at this time I would be watching a film on Sky One. Then again the only thing you get in the mornings are either cartoons, Cold Case or Bones. Bones is a good show; I’m addicted to all these shows with crime and drama.

“I don’t, but I didn’t get any good tasting coffee, I can’t function properly”

“What are you a Mirage Droid?” A what droid?

At this point I just took the pillow and placed it over my ears, not wanting to listen to this anymore. I really hope this is all in my head, sadly that proved me wrong when the pillow was taken off me and thrown away, how far I don’t know because I didn’t throw it.

“Aren’t you at all surprised at this, I mean wouldn’t you just freak out when you see something like my space ship crashed in your garden?” those purple eyes were really nice looking; it’s a shame I’m a guy though.

“Not really when you watch as much Sci-fi films and play Final Fantasy all shock just merely vanishes” I don’t like watching Sci-Fi, but my older brother does. He’s living in Belfast with his wife and two children, Surprisingly Mark is a primary school teacher. I miss my brother…

“You’re a bit of an Odd Ball aren’t you?”

“At least I’m not living at Mars” there was a moments silence until those purple eyes narrowed and that long hair was only merely scraping my cheek

“I’m not from Mars, I’m from a different Galaxy”

“That use Footballs as Space ships?” I don’t think those glasses suit him but then again it’s none of my business.

“It’s not a football; it is an Imperial carrier frigate”

“Midget?” He grabs my shoulders and shakes me a bit, I think I’m awake now so please stop shaking me man from Mars or where ever you live?

“Frigate moron!”

“Sorry but I did just wake up you know?” I muttered groggily, rubbing my left eye with a balled fist. You should never rub your eyes with a balled fist if you do then your going to need glasses. That’s what Mark told me anyways.

I miss my big brother, but he has a life of his own and I’m sure he doesn’t need a younger brother with an expression problem to mentally disturb his kids.

“You were awake when I crashed”

“And now I’m asleep, with no coffee I will never be able to wake up properly” after that he just vanished leaving me alone in the living for a while, I just sat there for a while staring into space like I usually do. I wonder what time Melanie would be bringing Ruth round at? I hope it’s not late because I really like my bed, like any other teenager would.

Well anyways before I could think about the peaceful moments of sleep, there were sounds of crashing coming from the kitchen, long enough to make me think what in the world is going on in there?

Did the strange man that is a crossover with Doctor Who and Sephiroth launch my kitchen into the Milky Way? Will I find little green men wondering into my kitchen taking all my food and coffee? I hope not, they can have the food I don’t care about that but if they steal my coffee then they are going to find a fork well stabbed into their eyes. Wither it be two or four there will still be many forks around to fit that number of eyes.

“What are you doing?” I muttered, walking a bit groggily into the kitchen, then my eyes widened in horror. I was never one to think that there would be anyone in the world, be it human or alien to cause such a mess in kitchen. If the Apocalypse came it would be something like this, the kitchen in total ruin, the cupboards about to come off by their hinges, sugar scattered all over the place mixed in something I think was the coco. Countless of Coffee mugs smashed on the ground and worse of all that guy was still here trying to see how the coffee machine works.

“How do you work this thing?”

I’m now fully awake

Doing some DIY work on the cupboards after cleaning the floors and probably doing some gardening. Well after that guy tried to haul his so-called space ship out of the poor greenery, he stuffed it in the garage.

Me I’m not finding it hard, I’ve seen stuff like this before. Truthfully I haven’t, would seeing your older sister making out with another woman at a young age be considered as strange as stuffing a space ship in your garage?

I thought not

“I’m sorry for causing such a mess but I’m not so good working the technology of this planet yet especially the coffee machine” he chuckled, yes he’s still here.

“You just have to press the on button to work the coffee machine, it’s not that hard” speaking of coffee machine, I miss it.

If your wondering where it is, well it’s currently in the bin after being trashed by my out worldly visitor.

“You’re very calm for someone who just had their kitchen trashed by a stranger” All in a days work little man, all in a days work.

“It’s happened before, got robbed a couple of times”

“Really doesn’t seem to bother you?” Nothing bothers me anymore; ask Mrs Doris or my old primary school teacher Miss Robinsons.

“Hm getting robbed seven times, what is there to be bothered about?”

It’s the truth believe me or not it is true. Why do you think the cops get annoyed with me now, they say I should get some security but then again that will cost money and Uncle doesn’t like to spend that much on casual things.

That’s why I keep a bat handy, not just for baseball but also for hitting a robber over the head.

I continued to screw the last door to the last cupboard. All that was heard was the sounds of my screwdriver and the nails I twirled in.

“My names Loth Grimjaw”

Loth?

That sounds like the short name for Language of Thought or was that LOT? I can’t remember?

Might have to check Wikipedia later on?

Then again I don’t want to use the computer on my day off; I see enough screens as it is.

“Loth”

That was all I basically said before jumping off the stool and testing the door to see if it was screwed in properly.

“That’s it? Your not going to tell me your name?” I twisted my head towards him; those glasses were shining from the suns rays that entered through my window. Those glasses don’t suit him; they make him look like some gay person about to get laid.

“Palin” I turned back and closed the cupboard properly and hen putting my screwdriver back into the tool kit. “Palin Nxic”

“That sounds like a cat’s name?”

“Loth’s short for Language of Thought isn’t it?” Loth got up, a sigh coming out of those pale looking lips of his, I haven’t noticed this now but he’s really pale. If your wondering what I meant by that is well…

He’s a greyish white colour

“That’s LOT moron”

So after that I ventured into the garden, fixing my poor grass that has been unearthed from the nice soil. I got some seeds that were daffodil seeds and buried them there. I had to use a lot of them, plus I think they might look nice with the roses.

Red and Yellow

Their nice when together aren’t they?

Once that was sorted I had to go out and do the shopping along with getting my medicine from Mrs Doris.

Ring Ring

Was that the phone?

Ring Ring

I wondered into the hallway, where my precious phone was, for some reason it had a caution sign on it and I wonder why that is? I took the caution sign and placed it to a table that was near by it had the usual ornaments on it. The cat ornament especially, I like that one, cute and adorable.

“Hello”

“Hello Palin, Mrs Doris here” Came Mrs Doris’ dry, posh voice.

“I’m just calling to tell you that I’ll be coming around to give you your medicine, would you be in?” I was going out to do the shopping actually.

“I was going to do the shopping”

“I’m sorry but it’s just that I had an appointment today with Mrs. Riley” Aw man, I thought for a moment before looking into the kitchen. It seemed that Loth was trying to resurrect the coffee machine from its previous demise.

“Actually Mrs Doris, I’m only going to be out for a little while but I have a friend that could take the medicine”

“Oh, a friend? Yes that would be good, see you later then Palin, bye”

Poor Mrs Doris

The old woman is sensitive when I have someone over. Last time when my friend Kathy came over, Mrs Doris was kind of looking over my garden fence, her sister is our next door neighbour and for some reason she is very protective when someone comes over.

Well she is a family friend of my mother’s

Anyway I got back into the kitchen to see that Loth has a hammer out

“What are you doing?” He jumped, hiding the hammer behind his back, a calm smile whisking on his lips

“Fixing the Coffee Machine”

“With a hammer?” you don’t usually fix coffee machines with hammers

Scratch that, forget it.

“I’m going out to do the shopping, a woman is going to come round with some of my medicine, I told her you were going to collect it for me is that okay?” He seemed a bit shock at my sudden request; even so I could still find that smile on his face.

“What do I tell her if she asks how we know each other?” I looked back at Loth while trying to put my coat on.

“I don’t know just come up with something, anything, as long as it is believable”

With that I left to do the shopping

It took a little bit longer to do the shopping than expected, I had to wait at the till for five hours before I got served, there was this old man in front of me that talked about the history of a penny for some reason it seemed to earn the poor girl that was at the till a story of how they sorted out money in World War II

I was kind of sleepy, wouldn’t you if you didn’t have your coffee today? Well a good coffee anyways?

The journey home was pretty much quiet and I didn’t realise how dark it was until I left the grocery store. I was tired and wary and I just wanted to get some sleep. Sadly when I got back to the house I was greeted with a very traumatised Mrs Doris. Those old eyes of hers looked as if she heard a terrifying rumour. This wasn’t as bad from the time when she thought her sister was having an affair.

“Hello Mrs Doris, are you alright, you look as if you saw a ghost” She just looked at me oddly and wondered off only saying a mere “See you later Hun” and left. This only made me wonder what Loth did while I was away.

When I came to the door and entered in, the place looked clean and tidy which was a relief to me. What I didn’t expect was Loth in the living room with a bottle of whisky in hand; his eyes looking dreary and dull and you can just smell the alcohol all over the place.

His silver hair looked messy, his top looked dirty and Loth’s glasses were broken.

“What’s wrong with Mrs Doris?” I asked when I returned, Loth turned those eyes to me and he looked a bit grateful that I came back.

“That woman is a nightmare!” he cried, placing the glass unto the table in front of the couch and lunged at me with a hug. “She wouldn’t stop asking me all these questions; she wanted to know where I live. What I do for a living and my shoe size!!” That sounded like Mrs Doris, all except for the ‘shoe size’ bit

“But she looked pretty traumatised when she left, what did you tell her?” This was when Loth became a bit limp, for some reason his body was leaning more and more close to mine.

“Nothin’ much” his voice slurred, Loth’s forehead resting on my shoulder

“Just told her we were a couple just to shut her up”

A…couple?

I’ve only met him a day and he told a woman that he never met that me and him were a couple? You’d think I’d be pretty shocked, well you’ve thought right.

“Poor Mrs Doris” I whispered, trying to balance not only Loth but me too, he’s heavy. “Uh this makes me wonder are you going to stay here?” Loth raised his head. Those eyes remind me of a lions only their purple and he growls like one too.

“What do you think, my ship is a goner and I have no where else to go”

That makes sense

In a ways

Since I didn’t get a call from Melanie that probably means I won’t be babysitting Ruth tonight. Still I’m stuck with babysitting this guy who got himself drunk and now he’s asleep on my shoulder, he weighs a tone.

It took me a while but I carted him up the stairs and put him in my bed, it was a king sized bed so I had nothing to worry about. I couldn’t put him in my uncle’s room. He’d know if someone was sleeping in his bed. We have about three bedrooms in the house and all of them ere king sized.

Strange as that sounds, it’s true.

Cause a normal house would have a few singles, but I never think about it too much.

When I went back down stairs and tidied up the living room and the kitchen plus placing all the groceries in their proper placed. I thought I should probably hit the hay too. I had too much stuff happen in one day to start making dinner now, I wonder if Loth got that medicine from Mrs Doris?

Forget it now, I need some sleep…

Although I think I should find some pyjamas for Loth…

I don’t know why?

Maybe because it was strange for someone to sleep in a white shit and black trousers

I’ll get him some from Uncle’s room later

I made sure to lock the doors and turn off all the lights so I’m okay, not going to get robbed tonight.

When I got my own pyjamas on, I snuggled into bed next to him, I hope if someone does happen to break in, wouldn’t think that we’re a couple. That would really look bad, for some reason I can see some headlines.

Two robbers break in on Gay Couple in their peaceful sleep

God I really hope that no one breaks in then.

Entry One: Loth

End

Youkai Of Hearts: Hey people, this is the first chapter of Coffee Mugs, this idea just came to me one night when a thought came into my head. I think some people might know, but I am terrible with Meetings of the two first main characters. I might as well explain the first two main characters.

Palin Nxic – He’s just someone who isn’t shocked with anything anymore, he’s bad at making conversation and expressing his emotions. Basically he’s cut and dry and looks at things from a simple view. He sounds a little bit like Nicky from my Midnight Claws story but I’m trying to make him not sound sarcastic at any way possible (Okay maybe a little). As you can guess he's a Coffee-a-holic

Loth Grimjaw – Loth is basically an idea I had of what would happen if you mix the appearance of Sephiroth with the personality and brains of Doctor Who, except of a phone booth being his space ship like the Tardis, his ship is in the shape of a football. Although he might have a slight Seme-ish persona on later chapters (As I would like to call it)

The story was originally meant to be called ‘My World’ but then I thought that sounded a bit deep and all, plus since Palin has a love for coffee, I just changed the name to Coffee Mugs only thing is it has something to do with crazy guys from space and other places than to do with Coffee and all that.

Some people might not know this but the place called Londonderry is based on my hometown that is actually called Londonderry so please don’t get it confused with London because it has nothing to do with it. It doesn’t have ‘Big Ben’ but we have the Guild Hall for more information check Wikipedia.

Now until Next time readers
