Stay Back!
writing below the cut!
The house shook as the impact of the fallen object outside rolled throughout the ground. Items of all kinds were knocked off their surfaces, a few of which shattering as they made contact with the floor.
The animals nearby reacted accordingly, a hairless cat sprinting for the only bedroom while a golden labrador began to bark in the direction of the sudden noise. Cody was the first to leave the dining table, kicking aside the mess that had been made and watching nervously as the source of the ruckus had still yet to cease.
It was a ship of some kind, three mechanical limbs protruding from a saucer-like shape with blaring green lights. Whoever the pilot was, they had very little knowledge over how the machine worked. It rocked awkwardly, stumbling over and finally falling still in the flattened grass.
"Noah, stay inside."
"Cody, what's going on?"
"Just get Daisy and stay inside."
Cody grabbed whatever blunt object he could, a baseball bat, racing towards the exit. This wasn't real. It couldn't be happening. Not now.
He hesitated as he approached the front door, a wave of realization washing over him like a cold rain. This - all of this - should have been forgotten years ago. Why had they returned? He had no significance to them, no importance. Why now, years later when he had finally settled down, did his past catch up to him?
Noah had the dogs collar in his grasp, but he hadn't left his spot. The two had seen the same thing. He wasn't sure what to think of. He didn't get the chance to ask again, his partner leaving for the outside. He could only watch.
A hatch on the side of the ship swung open, a mixture of steam and smoke escaping into the air as it did. An odd scent of dust and dirt spilled alongside, as if the area couldn't get any worse. Two passengers stumbled out and over one another, seemingly fighting.
"Is it really that fucking hard to land?" One hissed. "We've been in training for ages! This is why you pay attention, asshole!"
"This was all last second," the other would argue. "If you know so much about ships, why didn't you fly?"
Their bickering seemed to have no end. Cody inched closer to get a better view of who exactly he was to deal with.
They were relatively tall, both donning similar clothing and features. Their skin was a bright shade of blue, they shared a somewhat similar antenna and tail shape. Both pieces of clothing had a set of stripes to specify their color ranking. It was all too recognizable to the brunette before them.
Their argument came to a quick pause once their eyes settled on the human nearby. Cody grew tense as they approached, lifting his weapon and intending to bash their skulls in. The taller of the two aliens caught it in their claws before any contact was made.
"Cody 6827," he spoke, ripping the bat away. "We have been ordered by the king to return you to your home planet. You have information that he needs."
The boy was stunned. "How did you find me?" He blurted out.
"You had been tagged by your caregivers before you had been sent here. We can explain further once you come aboard our ship. You will be given a temporary room within the palace, so long as you comply."
"If you don't," the shorter alien inched closer, "we aren't arriving back empty handed. Best decide if you want to go there in one piece."
"5728, there is no need for threats."
"Cody?" A voice called. "What is all of this?"
Noah kept his distance from the rest. He was unarmed; something that made his partner more anxious than anything.
"Noah, stay back-"
"Step away, newcomer," one of the aliens warned. "He isn't what you believe for him to be."
"Cody, what are you?"
Noah's tone was unreadable. Was it disgust? Fear? He couldn't tell. There was no point in hiding any longer. No facade he put on could hide the world around him.
Cody's form shifted unnaturally. Two long, green antennas emerged from his hair with a matching tail following suit. Green splotches grew on his skin, although it seemed difficult to get far past this stage. The transformation was visibly uncomfortable. He never intended to reveal this again, and having hidden for so long left certain aspects of his appearance irreparable.
Words couldn't save him now. Cody waited for a response. He was met with nothing but a long gaze.
"Noah, I.. I'm sorry, I should have told you sooner-"
"You should have."
"But you would have thought I was crazy! I didn't.. I didn't want to lose you."
"Cody," the brunette gave an agitated sigh, "that summer camp we met at taught me that even the weirdest shit is possible. This wasn't exactly on my list, but.. guess I need to get back to writing it."
Despite everything, Noah came closer in reassurance of his loyalty to his lover. The green alien's ears perked up. He couldn't have asked for a better partner.
"Besides, there were.. signs."
"Signs?"
"Yeah.. remember that time I caught you breaking into the pantry because I tried to cut off your candy-fix for the night?"
"Yeah. Child locks don't work anymore."
"I learned. Anyway, when I found you, your eyes looked off. Later realized they were glowing. Thought it was the flashlight, but no, you're just.. spacey."
It was nice to see Cody's tooth-gap smile, especially now.
"Are you two done?" The shorter alien called out. "It's either you get in or we'll make you!"
"The king isn't one to wait," the other warned.
"He's only going if I can go, too," Noah stated.
There wasn't a lot of time left to waste. No, neither of the earthlings wanted to leave, but it was all or nothing. It seemed the intruders had a similar mindset.
"Get in," they ordered.
Hesitant but less worried, the couple slowly made their way inside the unidentifiable ship. The many blinking lights, screens, and buttons were a tad bit overwhelming, but they had no choice than to adapt.
"Everything will be fine," Cody told himself. He only hoped it wouldn't be a lie.
Noah and Cody are open for questions!
