A DAY WITH CYRUS || ROSE ATLAS & CYRUS ATLAS

" Rose...Rose.....Ms. Atlas, it's time to get up." A voice within the dark called to her as the female tossed and turned in her bed. She was warm under neath the soft blanket. She loved the way her silk sheets felt against her bare skin. Her arms wrapped around her body pillow as she nuzzle against it.

"Five more minutes." Rose muttered, she knew she had to wake up. There was a full day ahead of her. Work to be done, classes to teach, a certain professor to bother and a friend with a baby on the way to check in every now and again.

"The time is ten hundred hours, you have to get ready." This time, instead of a robotic voice, it was a male one. Seems like someone decided to pick their male form today, a voice that was gently but stern; just like her brother.

Groaning from annoyance, Rose slowly began to sit up. Rubbing her eyes and blinking a couple to adjust. The room was dark, just how she liked it however, she knew that it time to get ready. "Cyrus, lights please." The female said softly as she stretched and yawned. The cool air within her room caused goosebumps to rise on her skin as she rubbed her arms to warm up a bit. One thing Rose enjoyed about getting ready was taking hot showers so she could wake herself up.

Removing herself from her bed, she let her legs dangle as she watched her LED lights slowly begin to turn on. Standing up, she moved to her closet to pick out an outfit. Looking over her clothes, she couldn’t come up with what to wear for the day.

"Cyrus - "

"The weather for the day is going to be an overcast, highest temperature reaching sixty degrees, lowest possible forty-five. A jacket is recommended in addition with long sleeves. A coffee shop is open with minimal wait times that is in route of the university."

Rose smiled to herself hearing the basic over view of the day, it made it easier to plan things accordingly. Reaching into closet she picked a cream colored long sleeve shirt followed with a leather jacket and dark washed skinny jeans with her knee high boots to match. It did surprise her how Canada's weather took forever to warm up, it wasn't like California or even Florida. She did miss being stateside but she had her reasons to stay, very important reasons to stay.

Once her clothes were acquired, she headed to her bathroom. Soon as she walked in, Cyrus turned on the lights and began to read off various emails while Rose got ready. She took note of various emails from coworkers, emails from students but what she really wanted to hear was her video games news.

"Unfortunately, Rose. The Halo Infinite update for co-op got pushed but it will be split screen and up to four people can play online. So, I suppose it's worth the wait."

"You know, three-four-three industries made a beautiful thing with the campaign, the details, the story. It's understandable why they had to push it to the right for now, I rather have it be perfected than something rushed."

"My thoughts exactly."

Once Rose was done getting ready, she decided to make a quick breakfast. Pouring a glass of orange juice, while her toast was toasting and her eggs were frying in the pan.

"How is Tyler's restaurant doing?"

There's a couple moments of silence before results were given. "So far he has a four star review, even though most of the reviews are about him and his appearance. The food does look amazing with presentation based on the photos that were published by your friend, Claire."

"That's good!" Rose said before putting her small breakfast together and taking a bite of her eggs on toast. She knows she'll end up getting food later for lunch perhaps...

"You're thinking again, is possibly about that one professor that you look up so much?"

"Who?! Derek?!" Her cheeks have became red as she wiped her mouth from any remaining orange juice that was left on the corners of her mouth. Had Cyrus been looking into her search history and possibly lurking on her text messages? The thought of him caused her to react, and once she reacted her lights began to glow a bit brighter and dim almost in an instant.

Get yourself together Rose, you can't afford to keep replacing LEDs. She thought to herself as she gathered her things to head out for the day.

"You know what, Cyrus, we can talk about this another time. I have to go or I'll be late for my first class."

Attempting to put all her belongings in her bag. Cyrus itself popped up, this time in full person and body. The AI did take the appearance of a male. The male looked about to be in his mid twenties, curly light brown hair with pricing electric blue eyes. Attire of someone who looked like they were in college but reaching adulthood who had finally found a comfortable choice of clothing.

"I think you should tell him how you feel or at least --"

"That's out of the question Cy. He's having a kid with my best friend, the timing would be terrible. I just enjoy our little chats and talking with him, besides explaining the whole technopath thing is something I want to tell him. He already thinks I’m nerd, what’s he going to think when I tell him that my main best friend is a computer and that I can control other types of devices just by a thought or touch?"

"Technology seems to understand even myself, you have amazing abilities, but I must bring something to your attention. You mentioned him in your sleep last night. Around zero-three hundred hours, you called out his name. I was concerned he had entered the house without proper authorization."

Rose looked down and to the side for a moment. The memory from months ago, clearly wasn't a dream but something that did happen. It weighed on her often whenever she tried to remember it more. It wasn't like her to hook up with coworkers, and to make it two of them in one night only made her more embarrassed. Biting her lip, she looked into electric blues hues before sighing heavily.

"Thanks for letting me know, but I have to go." Moving over to the side, she reached for her door and opened it. Looking back one last time over to her AI companion who stood in the center of the room she gave one last command. "Lock up and hit the lights for me. Don't forget to get some sleep, I'll need you later on, Monday is test day and I’ll need some help for a study guide for Friday so my student can be prepared over the weekend."

"Acknowledged, have a good day at work Rose."

❝ Rose, darling. I have something for you. ❞ The sentence that changed her life, she still remembers it. She was sitting her room reading at the time, a book of stars that Victoria shared with her and Victoria told her to remember the stars names so she could find them with her in the night sky. Rose remembers looking up to her father to see a gift that was wrapped in pastel wrapping paper and tied with a light blue ribbon. Maybe that was why light blue was her favorite color because it’s connected to the one item that changed her life. 

Rose remembers eagerly getting up from her bed to run to her father as he entered her bedroom door. He was so tall back then compared to her short four feet tall self. Big hazel eyes looking into aged ones with slight wrinkles on the side of them. She remembers receving the book and opening it carefully. She always did that as a child with every gift. Rose loved to save the wrapping paper and use them for various arts and crafts when she was into them back then.

Opening the box, she remembers her eyes widening and a grin she could feel that spread across her face from ear to ear. Did she know what it is was? No but she wanted to know, it was so interesting and blocky with two joysticks. Her father had explained to her that it was the Atari that he used to play it when he was kid. He informed her that it wouldn’t work now but maybe she could start a collection when she older. 

Rose remembers putting it on her desk and staring at it for hours on end, wondering what games it could play. She had played video games with Tyler from time to time or at least she would watch. But she knew when she was older that she’d learn everything and anything there was to know about the Atari.

Rose could see sitting on the roof her car as she looked towards the night sky. The breeze was warm as hit her skin. Her knees were pushed up to her chest as her feet were flat on Leon. Looking towards the sky she saw how bright the moon shined tonight and it made her think of him. 

It had been how many years since the major break up at the university? However that memory stayed in her mind. How she laid on his chest while he ran his fingers through her loose curls. She was fresh out of a shower that day and Christopher had stopped by, the Christopher she once loved before things went downhill. At the time, the family tolerated him enough to see Rose so he was allowed in her room. 

The two teens laid on her bed and didn’t say anything. They simply enjoyed each others company at the time. A few kisses and I love you’s  were exchanged but nothing more. Christopher had decided to play some music to relax. He felt safe with her by his side and Rose felt the same way about him at the time. The music had filled the room but she could remember Christopher singing the words to her. 

'Cause you are, you are The reason why I'm still hanging on 'Cause you are, you are The reason why my head is still above water

Back then she loved that song. Rose loved how Christopher represented his love with that song, that if he could, he’d give her the moon. How she  was the reason that his head was above water. Rose felt important and felt truly loved. That before the darkness filled his heart and looked at her differently. Whatever happened to the boy that would sing her songs while they cuddled? What happened to the boy who would run his hands through her hair and pepper her forehead with gentle kisses. 

The memory replayed over and over again her  mine while she stared up at the night sky. The wind gently blowing through her hair. She closes her eyes for a moment and wraps her arms around herself. It was moments like this where she wished the good out weighed the bad. Sighing softly, she wiped her eyes from the tears that were forming, maybe she’ll listen to that song one last time before she removes it from the saved songs. After all, it was impossible to give her the moon.

❝ I can’t believe I actually did that. ❞

Spending time on rooftops had been a new pass time for Rose, there had been moments and times where energy had been too much for her and she needed a way to release it. Her day to day life dealt with technology, from controlling it, communicating it and taking power from it she needed to let go. Her whole body was shaking inside and out. Even the drive to the empty parking garage was a hassle. Rose needed to control it, find a medium or a balance. A way to control her body and mind but everything was happening all at once. 

Standing on the roof, she looked up towards the sky. Dark clouds were rolling in as she heard the sound of thunder, soon after she’d let all this pent up energy out into the skies. No one would know it was from her. Cyrus had told her before she left that it was going to rain all night and storm. It was perfect for her and her situation. 

Taking a deep breath in, she waited until she saw the first lightning strike and she let out her own electricity into the air. It was an accelerating feeling, her body felt lighter, it felt normal for once but she wasn’t done yet. Taking another deep breath in, she released more of her power as she exhaled. Hazel hues watched as the sky above her lit up knowing it was something she caused along with what was natural. The rain on her skin felt pleasant, her hair becoming wet and those natural curls of her starting to show. A smile graced her features as she went to sit on the edge. Her legs dangling back and forth as she just watched the rain and lightning that wasn’t her own hit the earth.
