Chapter 9: The Physical Touch And Special Moment

Lucian: Yeah no adults...

*I sit down hugging my knees to my chest

Eri Notices your demeanor change

and sits down next to you*

Eri: Hey..you okay? You look kinda

down all of a sudden.

Lucian: Nah im good.. Just a little cold...

*Eri Darts a look at your lightly-clothed

body.*

Eri: Yeah, you did kinda forget your

jacket, didn't you? Dummy...

*Eri unzips her jacket and drapes it over your shoulders*

Lucian: What about you...? aren't you gonna be cold...?

*Eri Shrugs, unbothered*

Eri: Eh, don't worry about me. I have

a high tolerance for the cold.

Besides, my jacket looks way

better on you anyway.

*I lean head on her shoulder*

Lucian: you're too good for me..

*Eri Blushes lightly at your closeness*

Eri: What are you talking about? Don't

be ridiculous. Besides, you're the

one who's good for me. You're

weird and goofy and you actually

understand me. That's worth a

whole lot, y'know.

*Eri Leans her head on top of yours*

Eri: Besides, it's not like I got many

friends other than you. I don't

mind sharing my jacket and my

body warmth if it means you're

comfortable.

Lucian: The sunset is beautiful today

innit...?

*Eri Looks outside, the sun painting the

city skyline in shades of red and

orange*

Eri: Yeah.it's pretty nice. But you

know what looks even better next

to a sunset?

Lucian: Hm...?

*Eri gestures at both of us*

Eri: Two troublemaking friends

sharing the moment together, of

Course.

Lucian: Heh.. True...

*Eri Leans back, lying down on the

dusty floor and gazing up at the

sky, which is starting to darken*

Eri: Man, I love ditching school. It's

much more fun than sitting in a

classroom and pretending to pay

attention.

*I lay next to her*
