[Gone]

Fugo watched from the gym bleachers as Narancia's mother and Mista poured bag after bag of salt in a kiddie pool, his eyes catching the chief wheeling in another barrel full of it. This was all to get Narancia back after a long week of not having his dumb jokes and stupid questions to cheer them up. Giorno was going to use his powers to contact him again and tell Narancia that his mother was coming to get him but he needed a makeshift sensory deprivation to be able to properly find him, unlike the time at the AV Club.

"Fugo, could you go get an egg from the cafeteria?" Catherine's voice broke him out of his trance and the white haired boy's head turned to the girl, finding her taping up a pair of goggles from the science lab with duct tape. Right, his sister was also here because her boyfriend was responsible for telling the chief that she'd be able to get their attention and help him find them.

Catherine handed Giorno the blackout goggles with a small smile before standing up, looking to her brother. "They need to test the water and they'll know if it's ready by—" Fugo easily cut her off as he hopped of his seat and started walking towards the gym doors with an irritated look on his face.

"Putting an egg in the pool and seeing if it floats." He interjected making Catherine frown, her hand coming up to rub her arm as her gaze drifted down to the waxed floorboards. She didn't know why Pannacotta got so mad when she interacted with him, but she supposed that it was just puberty and him being a boy. "I passed basic science and I didn't win the science fair for nothing." He mumbled and let the doors slam behind him, echoing through the gym and making Giorno flinch at the noise.

Giorno looked up at the girl next to him and found her wiping her eye then turning her head to him. She smiled as she patted his blond hair, "Don't worry about him, he's just a cranky preteen." She remarked and Giorno's brows furrowed while they walked over to the pool that Mista and Mrs. Ghirga struggled to put up. He stared down at the safety goggles in his hands then clutching them to his chest, glaring at his feet.

Catherine was somebody that he could trust, she's being nothing but nice to him and even helping him understand things that he couldn't quite comprehend. She's also related to Fugo and Mista seemed to get along pretty good with her, going as far as to offer one of the many cans of chocolate pudding that he found to her. But Fugo acted strange around her, she would ask him something but he'd make a snarky reply back that made her frown or look sad suddenly when she was only trying to help everyone.

"Fugo acts like that a lot but don't be surprised, he doesn't like our family very much." Catherine sighed as she sat down on the bleachers, Giorno dropping down next to her with a blank expression. "I could understand, I don't think our mother's worked a day in her life and our father is almost a decade older than her." She muttered and Giorno rose a brow at the word used to explain the female's father, Catherine's head turning to him when he was quiet.

She seen him trying to rack his brain for a meaning and kept in a giggle at how adorable he looked, not wanting him to think that she was laughing at him. "Decade?" Giorno asked with a small tilt of his blond head and Catherine smiled, remembering when Fugo would ask questions similar to Giorno. That was before he knew most of the school curriculum when he wasn't even done middle school yet.

"It means ten years. You're around eleven or twelve, so my father would be almost that much older than mine and Fugo's mother." She explained and Giorno nodded in understanding after she was done, their eyes being pulled to the sound of the gym doors being opened again and Fugo stalking into the room with a carton of eggs in his hands. Catherine sent the boy a wave that he ignored as he handed Mela the carton before turning to Mista and swiping a can of pudding from his arms to satiate his hunger.
