It perplexed me how much I wanted to sit back and analyse him. I wanted to know all the things that ticked him off, that made him mad, that pushed him over the edge. I also wanted to know all the things that made him happy and that made him laugh. I wanted to know what thoughts went through his head.
Like any interesting book, you needed to read all of it to understand the full story. I was reminded then that I did not even know the title.
"You still haven't told me your first name." I pointed out, curiosity bubbling out of me.
"No, I haven't."
Crossing my arms, I sighed in frustration "Are you seriously not going to tell me?"
He nodded.
I mentioned to him "You know my name."
"That is because you told me it." The nameless Titan tried to argue.
"I didn’t tell you, my name." I argued, "Your little ally of a boss forced it out of me."
Stone did not try and deny it. Rather, he still refused to tell me his name.
"Your name can not be any worse than mine." I voiced before adding an exception "Unless it is something like Balthazar."
"Balthazar?" He repeated.
Stretching my arms and letting out a yawn, I replied "Actually thinking about it, Balthazar is a pretty cool name. It sounds like some kind of fantasy antagonist. Evil like you."
"My name is not Balthazar."
"That is a pity" I admitted, standing up from my bed "I will just call you Rumpelstiltskin."
"Who?"
"You know the little guy from that fairytale. The only thing wrong with my analogy is that you are gigantic. The name thing however is accurate." I mentioned.
"I have not heard that story." The deep voice replied.
"Rumpelstiltskin was the guy who helped the liar of the princess convince everyone that she could turn straw into gold. Long story short, she promised the little creature who she did not know the name of, that if he helped her then she would give him her first born. Unless she could guess his name in three days then she could keep her baby."
He nodded "Let's do it then."
I looked down at him with baffled as he lay on my bed "What do you mean? I'm not giving you my firstborn."
Something that he was thinking about made his lip move upwards. It was like he was trying to contain a smile.
Stone shook the thought out of his and clarified for me "I'll give you three days to try and guess my name."
"What happens if I can't guess it?"
He answered, "Then you kiss me."
I burst out laughing but then I saw his face. It was as serious as a volcanic explosion taking out a village.
My mouth opened then closed as I finally spoke "You are serious?"
"Deadly."
