"The day I met him."

"Hey, will you mind If I sat down beside you?"

The boy replies with a low tone.

'i-.. y-yeah, sure. it's ok.'

I slowly sit down & put down my meal on the small glass table, I Introduce my self to the gentleman.

"Hmm, thank you! anyway. my name is aria, how about you?"

'My name's Nikolai, I'm 15...'

"oh, interesting... I'm 14."

Nikolai: 'wait, really? You look 15... n-no offense.'

Aria: "oh, haha. It's fine, no worries... hey, I saw that you looked upset from afar. well, are you?"

Nikolai: 'maybe.'

Aria: "Well then, what's up?"

Nikolai: 'Just some family problems are all I can explain, there's too much trauma happening in my life.'

Aria: "Ah... I see, well then. you wanna be friends?"

Nikolai: 'Oh, wait.. really? sure.'

Aria: "Of course! is it normal for people to hang out with you?"

Nikolai: 'Low chance.. hehe..'

Aria: "Oh shucks, well then. I'll make an exception! I'll hang out with ya every day? It depends actually if your free."

Nikolai: 'Oh! sure, I'm not that busy.'

Aria: "Same for me, anyway. you got a discord?"

Nikolai: 'mhm, I have.'

Aria: "Add me?"

Nikolai: 'hm... sure.'

Aria's POV

I smiled when he accepted my discord request, a few minutes have flown by. I & Nikolai Decided to go to the library. when we arrived at the library, I offer him a piece of cheese bread since he hasn't eaten anything at the coffee shop, he respectfully declines but I insisted since I felt bad for him not having any buddies with him & for being alone. He finally says yes, we then go inside the book room... it was very cold & It gave me modern vibes. I then see a spot where me & him could sit down at.

Aria: "Nikolai, let's sit over there! It looks clean."

Nikolai: 'mm.. sure.'

We then head to the small table with small bean bags... I then sit down on the bean bag & gently put my mocha on the desk.

Aria: "Alrighty...

I grunt softly as I try to comfort my self trying to get into the bean bag.

Anyway, are you interested in any book stories?"

Nikolai replies.

Nikolai: 'yeah... I'm more into paranormal & action books. It's very interesting for me, haha.'

both of us reply with a soft giggle... After, we had a little chit-chat.

Aria: "Soooo Nikolai, what are your family problems you're suffering from? It's all good if you don't tell me. It's personal anyway."

Nikolai: 'sigh... It's very difficult to explain, All I can say is that it's paralyzing & fucking horrifying to witness & to suffer from...

Aria's POV

he says in a soft voice... I could already tell hes been suffering through such tough shit because of the eyebags & with the small, but visible bruises on his legs, & face. I'll be honest alright? He does look cute even with the bruises, but hey! I'm just complimenting. or..~? anyway, don't mind that.
