When Hush Meets Roar

Tobias Arendelle

POV : TOBIAS ARENDELLE.

"The elevator swings on open and the hero was made to enter, his eyes looking up seeking an opportunity for control, he's dressed in an ocean blue suit, the blood spilled on his face and blazer. The dried blood spills on the blazer looked purple.

The hero is pushed into a closed space and boom it's locked.

Few men in blue, guard the closed door.

 A man with a blade comes at him, a lady with scissors in hand towers him and thwack, the Hero was cut"

The children gasped at the cruelty.

"Guys, this is not a murder scene, it's a surgery scene!!" I clarified, adding a little twist.

Poor souls, they've thought, I would let down my hero like I do every time. Not anymore kids.

"Uncle, why do you harm the hero every time? Why can't he live peacefully?" Norton asked in sign language.

"Hustle and Harm makes him the Hero that he is." I shrugged at his question. I've always found him like an old soul in a kid's body. This seven-year-old can be really preachy at times. But I love him nevertheless.

I mean when he was asked to put a sock on to the hanger for Santa, he refused and gave me a full-fledged explanation on why Santa should be considered a trespasser and I kid you not it was damn convincing.

"Then the bullet was removed and after a few days, he was allowed to get discharged. Prior to his discharge date, he was shot by the heroine"

"Why did she do that?" All asked in unison.

I deliberately pointed towards the huge clock hung in the centre of the dorm, reminding them that the storytime is over.

"That's it for today, guys. Bye, go back everybody, Sleep early."

"You can't abruptly end a story like that, Uncle!!" Norton complained.

"Good night Norton." I said before leaving.

I left the orphanage and went into my clinic.

Doctors were fewer, only essential staff were made to remain all night.

I entered my chamber and changed into White coat and prepped myself for an all-nighter.

The patient inflow doesn't seem to increase, I guess I could relieve a few doctors.

I went on rounds and saw a few interns who were pulling it off with hardly any sleep.

Poor souls couldn't help but doze off a little bit.

"Hello!" I said in a quite deadpan tone.

"Sir we weren't sleeping, we were just-" They rushed tried to think of a reason.

"Just taking a power nap?" I asked playfully.

Some said no and some said yes.

"Never mind, the patient inflow is less, you guys can go home." I just told them that and their faces bloomed like a newborn flower.

"And here you go" I hand them a chocolate bar for their efforts.

They thanked me and left.

I stood there smiling at myself that I made some happy, a few moments later I went back to my chamber, I closed my eyes while enjoying the silence of my chamber, only until I heard loud footsteps coming towards my chamber.

A lady with fierce eyes, enraged face and a consuming aura came at me before I could process her arrival.

"What do you think of yourself, you bast*rd!!"

Before I could digest those words, I could feel a generous amount of wind on my cheek and smack, the throbbing sensation on my cheek just confirmed that I was slapped?

There's this one thing about me, I absolutely LOATHE violence against doctors, and I'm not somebody who'd go legally, I'll practically hunt them down.

Thwack, I slapped her back.

"You literally asked for it. You deserve it." I signed and texted the security to throw her out.

She literally went on snatching the phone away from me and threw it away and suddenly turned around and just when I thought the danger is over, she locked the doors.

"You torture people for some petty marks don't you, I'll slit your filthy throat today." The lady came at me as she picked a pen kept on my desk.

Splurt

She stabbed the pen so hard, if I had not jerked my neck then I'd be dead.

This lady is disastrous, my mind alarmed.

She punched me right in my gut and sent a blow right at my jaw.

Fuck the gender bias, You can't beat a guy this badly and expect him to be a gentleman.

Thud

I picked her up and tossed her to the ground harshly.

She let out a growl in pain, I looked at her straight in her eyes and punched her jaw, it's quite dislocated, but I'm satisfied.

She shuddered in fear, but yet kicked me sharply on my abdomen, thank god not below.

This lady somehow has decided to revive the beast I've eliminated.

She initiated another kick towards my groin, but I held her leg and slammed her to the wall.

"You son of bi*ch, you put up a facade of a good-guy all day and-"

Thunk, she tossed me down and I sent a massive blow right across her chin, before it could land, we heard a voice.

"Roar, You're in with the wrong guy" A feminine voice is heard across the door.

She tapped on her cochlear implants as she couldn't believe her eyes.

"Come out ASAP. The man you're beating is not the one I told you." There's a hint of desperation in the voice.

"Bi*ch, I'm gonna hunt you down for this." The lady in front of me yelled back.

She raised her head once but again bent it down.

We slowed stared at each other like we're some alienated species.

She blinked repeatedly to hide her embarrassment.

The lioness in front of me calmed down slowly, my rage instantly cooled down as I saw her eyes lighten.

Weird.

My elbow was yet in the air.

Her eyebrows furrowed at me, I let my elbows down, she bent her head down in embarrassment.

Awestruck.

"I am extremely sorry." The earlier raspy voiced lady seems to have vanished, her normal voice is quite different from her earlier one.

"I honestly don't know how to apologize and even if you don't forgive me, I am really sorry for whatever I did and for all the shit I said." I smiled at her sincere apology.

"I'm sorry too." I signed with a smile. I don't know how appropriate it is for me to smile here, never mind, I end up smiling in all the inappropriate situations.

"Are you dumb?" She asked me as she realised that I didn't speak a word all this while.

I picked up the pen she used for stabbing me earlier and wrote

"Verbally challenged!" I corrected her.

"Then I guess I'm Audibly challenged." She said with a smile only for her growl, as she experienced some pain.

"I'm so sorry." I signed in guilt.

"Me too!!" She said whilst the pain, as she held her jaw in one of her hands.

Shit, why does this guilt trip ache so much!!!

This is the only time, I wished I could speak other than that one time.

Aurora Perrault

POV : Aurora Perrault.

I came back from work early and decided to surprise my friend Zephyrus by just popping in front of him out of nowhere.

I drove my car all the way to his apartment and parked it and went up the elevator.

This area always seems deserted, even the simplest things like hailing a cab becomes a task. I wonder how this fellow commutes.

The elevator swung open and brought me back from my thoughts. I knocked on his door and as I peeped through the peephole, he wiped his tears off from his shirt exhaled before he opened the door.

"Oh good lord, Roar, is that you? Why's the Heedless humourist at my door?" He said looking at me with his eyes wide.

"Long time, Psycho!" I said as I opened my arms for a hug.

"Indeed, Loud mouth. Missed you so much." He smiled like he wasn't crying a moment ago.

"Bitch, cut the crap, why were you crying?" The colour of his face faded.

"Was I? My eyes have turned red, but that's because of those stupid onions I was chopping." He said with a smile, sounding as casual as he could.

"Liar." I stated firmly gazing into his eyes.

Maybe I would've been convinced if I had not seen him through the peephole.

"You know how upset I get over everything litt-"

"Why can't you fucking tell me what happened." I yelled at him.

He took a deep breath.

 "My professor has been abusing me since a year, I have not told a soul about this."

"Abuse, of what sort, like scolding-" I paused as I saw his eyes welled up, and his voice turned shaky and low.

"He pesters me for..." He couldn't bring himself to voice it out.

He bent his head in shame. It felt like hundreds of needles piercing me at once.

"For sexual favours." He managed to only whisper, as his voice was cracking while he was shivering.

"State his name, I'll handle the rest." I said firmly, my eyes darkened.

"No, you don't understand the situation and the consequences your action would have, on my life-" I interrupted him. "Name!" I questioned vehemently as I grabbed his shoulder abruptly.

"Taylor Abbotte" He mumbled as tears flowed down his cheek.

Starts with T and with E. I reminded myself mentally.

"Bye" With that I stormed off in a second.

I drove my car all the way to Zephyus' college.

Ethereal Hospital and Research Institute. The huge ass board read.

Ethereal? My foot!!!!

I stormed inside and there was this deserted hospital with little to no crowd.

There was also this board with Doctor's name with their specializations written bellow and arrows denoting the direction of their respective chambers.

The name I had to find was simple.

It starts with T and ends E.

Tobias Arendelle. The first name on the board. He is it.

I immediately looked at the arrows and rushed into his chamber.

Inside was a seemingly calm man who sat meditating like he's the next incarnation of the lord himself, suddenly he opened his eyes and saw me, he straightened his back before leaning back onto his chair.

I was fuming.

"What do you think of yourself, you bast*rd" I roared in rage.

Thwack. I slapped him, his jet black eyes flashed a hint of shock.

For a sec, his gaze lowered. Something seemed to have changed in his demeanor.

And boom, he slapped me back.

The sheer audacity!!!

He signed something which I was too furious to decipher.

He took his phone out and did something.

I instantly snatched it and threw it away.

I went back to the door to close it.

I gave him a glare that literally was giving -The-hell-awaits-your-arrival-and-I'll-make-sure-the-wait-ends-sooner.

I immediately picked up the pen on his desk and barged at him as I said "You torture people for some petty marks, I'll slit your filthy throat today!!"

Splurt

The stabbed the pen so hard, but he had moved away right in time. The sound of the stab echoed. The pen stuck to the wall.

I punched him hard and sent a blow from my elbow to his jaw.

...I hope it's broken, if not, I'll make it will be....

He gazed, straight my eyes and smirked before I could decipher what it meant,

Thud, He picked me up like I'm some rice sack, and tossed me, like he wanted to crush my spine.

Makes sense.

I couldn't help but let out a growl in pain. He punched my jaw.

Now the bloodshed seems inevitable.

I sent a kick to his abdomen. He moved a step back due to the impact.

He glared at me like he wants to kill me, the saint guy who was meditating earlier was long gone, the man stood before was an absolute beast.

And I'd love to feast on a beast.

I sent a fierce kick to his groin, which he stopped by catching my ankle in time and pulled me towards him abruptly from my ankle, I lost balance and fell to the ground.

He lifted me up from my ankle and slammed me to the wall.

"You son of bitch, you put up a facade of a good guy all day and-" I smirked as I came at him and

 Thunk. I tossed him down and he was locked, he closed his eyes in reflex. He raised his elbow for a blow.

"Roar, You're in with the wrong guy." I heard Zephyrus 's voice.

I tapped on my cochlear implants in disbelief.

"Come out ASAP. The man you're beating is not the one I told you." He said in despair.

My eyes widened in shock. WTH did I just assault a wrong person?

I face-palmed in embarrassment.

"Bitch I'm gonna hunt you down for this!" I yelled in rage.

Why the hell did she give me the wrong name!!!

I was infuriated yet embarrassed. I wanted to a dig a hole and bury myself in it.

I looked up, too ashamed and embarrassed to gaze at his eyes I bent my head down again.

I slowly gazed at him as I took a deep breath in. My eyebrows stayed furrowed as I noticed that he has just frozen with his elbow halted in the air.

He noticed my eyes at his elbows and lowered it.

"I'm extremely sorry." I said in a gentle tone.

Even I wasn't satisfied with my own apology.

"I honestly don't know how to apologize and even if you don't forgive me, I am really sorry for whatever I did and for all I shit I said." I admitted, honestly.

He seemed as puzzled as I am and lastly smiled at me in response.

God knows why?

"I'm sorry too," He signed.

I wonder why?

"Are you dumb?" I asked as I realised he never actually spoke.

He pulled out the pen stuck to the wall and wrote "I'm verbally challenged."

"Then I guess I'm audibly challenged" I said as I couldn't help but smile at his sudden politically-correct behaviour,

Ouch! I winced in pain. I guess my jaw is maybe dislocated.

"I'm so sorry." He signed in worry.

"Me too" I said with gritted teeth due to the pain.
