The Yin Yang Equation || L.H

"Reegan," he says, his words accompanied by puppy dog eyes. He's learnt from Meg. "You can't do that, come on."

I refuse to take any of it. "I can," I say forcefully to assert my power over him. "And I will."

"But think of all the people who are supposed to be coming tonight," he says almost pleading.

I shake my head in return, an evil smile lacing my lips, despite my knowing it shouldn't be there.

"I'm sure they'd be happy to see just Meg," I say with a hint of humour.

A look of horror clouds his eyes and he drops to his knees; he knows I'm not kidding.

"Please," he says sincerely. "I'm begging you, please don't cancel tonight's show."

I cross my arms and raise an eyebrow at him.

"You're going to have to do better than that," I say sharply.

He lets out a small moan and tips his head back.

"I promise it won't happen again," he says as he straightens up again and clasps his hands in front of him.

"How do I know you're not lying?" I nearly tease, but I still mean it.

"I-I-I," he stutters and looks around as if he's going to find an answer. "I will get Meg to watch over me, you can trust her word, right?"

I hum lightly, thinking about his offer. I've never seen him so desperate for something before, I can't help but drag the time out to keep him this way. It's almost, satisfying?

Just as I'm about to speak Meg steps out of the bus, yawning and rubbing her eyes. Yet another thing I've not seen until now.

"What do you think, Meg?" I ask without any further explanation.

She looks at me confused, "huh?"

"Do you think you could keep an eye on him," I say as I tilt my head towards Joel. "And make sure he doesn't get up to no good."

I mischievous sparkle glints in her eyes as the corners of her lips turn upwards slightly.

"Oh, yes," she says surely. "I can definitely 'keep an eye on him.' That means I'm in charge, right?"

She looks at me sweetly, a vast contrast to Joel who looks terrified. I nod slowly, watching the sparkle in her eyes grow.

"Everything you say goes," I confirm.

Oh, what a terrible punishment I know I have just given him. But it's his fault for doing something so terrible in the first place.

--Meg's POV--

When Reegan told me I had to watch over Joel like he was a child I immediately started planning everything in my head.

For the past ten days we have spent all our time together (apart from showering and using the toilet obviously). In that time I've gotten to know Joel quite well, and I know for sure that he hates being bossed around.

Especially by me.

I don't really know why I'm in charge now, but I know it must be bad judging by the look on Joel's face. And that means I can get him to do just about anything.

He's still sitting on his knees in shock, even though Reegan left about five minutes ago. His eyes are trained on me hopefully, probably wishing for me to implode right then and there.

"Okay," I say, trailing off. "I don't really know what is going on, but bad Joel." I point a finger at him in a scolding manner, and the both of us crack up laughing.

Maybe if I can get him to think I'll be nice he might become more shocked later on.

I hope so.

"Come on," I say impatiently. "Get up and let's go out for breakfast."

He nods quickly and stands to brush the dirt off of himself.

Once we're both dressed and ready we saunter down the road until we find a cute cafe to stop and have breakfast in.

We sit in a small booth up the back, and huddle over the one menu together.

"What do you think?" He asks.

My eyes scan the list of food again, trying to come up with a choice. "I don't know," I say. "You pick."

He tried to laugh, but I stop him. "I'm not gonna -"

"Oh yes you are," I say sternly. "You have to do everything I say."

He tilts his head to the side, a smirk on his face.

"Seriously?" He questions (pointlessly really).

"Yes, seriously," I say with a breathy laugh. "Why don't you believe me?"

He shrugs and points to something on the menu. I nod without reading what it says, and continue talking.

"I mean, you're lucky I'm only asking you to pick my breakfast, and not do something crazy."

At that he laughs, "crazy like what?"

"Like," I pause in thought. "Like going over to that old lady over there and giving her a kiss."

"I could do that," he says as he stands and walks over to her. She's mid conversation with an equally old man, but that doesn't stop Joel from cutting right in.

My mouth drops open and I clasp my hand over it. He plants a quick kiss on her cheek, and it turns a red hue. He then turns to me and waves.

"I don't know him!" I call out to her and she chuckles.

"Yes you do!" Joel calls back, before turning back to the lady. "Yes she does," he says to her.

He struts back over to where I'm sitting, doing a spin on his way. I laugh at him as he drops down back into the booth.

"Anything else?" He asks with a smirk.

"Yes," I say without hesitation. "Go order our breakfast!"

He nods and stands, walking to the front counter.

When he returns he's balancing too large milkshakes and two pieces of cake on a tray.

"Joel!" I yell at him in a flustered state. "That's not breakfast!"

He laughs at me as he puts the tray down and hands me a chocolate cake and an iced-coffee milkshake.

"It is now," he says with a wink.

A/n: I have a really lovely story that I want to share; even though nobody probably cares I still want to post it so anyways.

I was at dancing today and got to leave early because I need to pack and get ready for my holiday tomorrow morning. I'm only going away for, like, 2 weeks, but as I was leaving everyone was yelling out goodbye really really loudly.

Then they all just stampeded towards me and we had this massive group hug that literally felt like in the movies where everything slows down and happy music starts playing.

And I guess it just felt so amazing to be surrounded by people that love you and enjoy your company that I nearly cried with happiness. I don't know, maybe I'm just crazy or something but it felt really nice.

Has anyone else ever had something like that happen to them? If you have leave a comment, because now I feel all mushy and I wanna read cute stories haha.
