"Oh, Orion, what are you doing here?" Lance asked with a bagful of canned goods.
A boy with black hair and a skinny body that wasn't much shorter than appeared before , and he didn't seem all that stressed.
"I was just walking around, trying to find a good place to sleep tonight," I said, and Lance glanced at with a frown.
"Want to stay over at my place then? My parents are already packing their things so we can leave this place quickly. I have my apartnt to myself,"
"Oh, then don't mind if I do," I responded before taking another quick glance at the bag of canned goods.
"Don't worry. My parents are feeding , but only feeding instead of themselves as they lost their jobs," He replied with a bit of a weary smile but was still filled with determination.
What a nice guy…
As soon as we arrived at his apartnt, I could see people already packing up their suitcases and getting the fuck out of the city as fast as possible.
But, there was one specific person that caught both of our eyes.
"Treyni?" Lance muttered upon laying his eyes on the girl with dark green hair and light brown skin.
Her erald eyes shone, but there was a bit of matte feeling to them as we passed by her… she also didn't even notice us.
"Wait! Treyni!" Lance shouted as he chased after her.
Oh, is he going to ask her out right here? That would be pretty entertaining…
"O-Oh, Lance, how are you doing?" Treyni spoke up, and my jaw practically dropped to the floor as she rarely even spoke.
"I-I was just going back to get so sleep. I was planning on heading out tomorrow morning… would you maybe… want to go with ?" He asked while looking down at his feet and blushing profusely.
"S-Sure… I-I wouldn't mind," Treyni responded while looking down at her feet and blushing profusely.
"Oh my. Young love, how jealous I am of you both," I muttered as I spun around Lance and tilted his chin upwards so he could look at Treyni directly in the eyes.
I wouldn't mind helping this relationship speed up… But, let's make sure they take their ti.
"So, when did you guys get so familiarity with each other?" I asked, but all of a sudden, a large wave of families with suitcases washed out of the apartnt complex, so we decided to continue our conversation in Lance's bedroom.
Treyni felt a bit uncomfortable in his room, so Lance gave her a cup of tea that should help her warm-up.
"S-So, basically, we t after returning from the field trip. You and Cy gave enough confidence to start talking to her, and so, I asked her out… but she said she needed so ti to think about it," Lance chuckled a bit while scratching the back of his head.
"I-It's not that I don't want to date him, but I felt like we needed more ti to get to know each other,"
"And so, we began to talk about what we like, and eventually we ca across video gas. We both love video gas so much. Also, movies, tv shows, and sotis books, but Treyni likes them more than ," Lance chuckled a bit.
The tense air in the room slowly began to crack as they both revealed more and more of their personality.
They looked so happy to be with each other, and Treyni, who I rarely see converse with people, was talking so much that she almost looked like an extrovert.
As they talked about movies they had recently watched in the past few weeks, I just stared at Treyni, who was clearly suppressing sothing.
So, after they had their fair share of fun, Lance went to get another cup of tea, leaving just and Treyni in the room.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"W-What do you an?" She replied, a few nerves beginning to settle in.
"Did sothing happen? Why do you look like you're about to cry?" I elaborated on my question, and all of a sudden, Treyni's eyes leaked tears.
She probably didn't even realize she was crying until Lance ca back into the room, seeing his crush just blankly staring at with tears running down her face.
"Orion! What did you say to her!?" Lance began to interrogate , but I just let Treyni explain… as it would be a good improvent for herself.
"H-He didn't do anything… It's just… My mother and father died. They died during the bloody funeral and not as targets, but as witnesses for seeing the death of big family mbers,"
The room went silent, and almost on reflex, Lance hugged her, causing Treyni to break down into tears as she slowly hugged him back.
Oh wow… the governnt was that powerful… I've only heard that they maintain the balance between large families, but I didn't expect them to be able to suppress them.
After seeing the two slowly open up to each other even more, I just walked to the next room over, where I tucked into the couch and got so sleep.
…
In the morning, I was woken up early.
"Hey, we're leaving right now. Would you like to leave with us?" Lance asked, and when I opened my eyes, I saw both kids with two adults standing beside them.
"Nah. I'm not leaving yet," I muttered but did follow them downstairs in order to say goodbye.
I already had Lance's phone number so we could stay in touch, but our separation was a bit sad as Lance begged for to co with him.
"I've never had such a close friend before! Please co with ! Wahhhhh,"
He cried into my shirt, and Treyni had to drag him away, so after about ten minutes, he finally let go, completely exhausted.
"I'll make sure to keep in touch!" Lance shouted.
"I an, we weren't even that close, but okay," I muttered with a smile, and as I finally waved them goodbye, I made my way to a nearby cafe.
Today, I had a eting… but that was quickly interrupted by a large explosion in the distance.
And when I an large, I an so large and loud that you could hear it halfway across the city.
"Wait, don't tell those families are-"
I quickly rushed out of the empty cafe and down the street.
