Clyde placed his weight on his left foot, holding tightly to the metal bar, Alex then did the same thing. You felt the tension between them, just by looking at their eye contact.

Alex wasn't really a serious kind of guy, usually he was really sweet when he was with you.

"We don't really do stick fighting a lot, just for fun." Alex said. You nodded your head, quietly sitting down on the floor next to Jace.

Alex threw the first hit, Clyde swiftly moved over and kicked up Into Alex's jaw. You tried to watch them carefully so you can learn, but you just couldn't. Striking the metal bar from left to right in a millisecond, seemed impossible to follow.

After a little while, Jace placed his arm around you. "They're great, right?" It caught Alex's eye. Clyde threw a hit at his waist, causing him to stumble down to the dusty floor. You ran over to him to see If he was alright, placing your hand on his cheek. Alex stood up and patted your shoulder. Clyde noticed the way Alex looked at your eyes, and secretly chuckled.

"Alex is fine. You're a sweet person Y/N, but you have to be tough for your boyfriend." Clyde joker.

Alex was confused, "Boyfriend?" you noticed the corner of his eyes crinkled, and he started to shifted from side to side a lot. "Don't be silly Clyde!" he says smiling, jokingly hitting Clyde.

"Alex." said Clyde. Alex immediately went back In control of his emotions.

You laughed It off, figuring that Clyde was just joking around. "Alright, Y/N you're going to practice with Alex, Jace will assist you."

Jace placed his left foot back, making his body face the side. You attempted to copy him, but It wasn't perfect. Jace grabbed your waist making It face the side, then he made you bend your knees. Alex's eyes changed from a happy to an angry. His eyebrows pulled down In anger.

"Y/N, move your arms like th-"

Alex interrupted, pushing aside Jace. "Actually It's like this." he says, moving your arm forwards.

Jace and Alex glared at each other. Jace then began to laugh. "I'm just playing, I don't love Y/N, they're all yours."

Alex's eyes widened in embarrassment. "Huh? I don't love Y/N! I'm not theirs!" he blurts out.

Clyde face palmed.

After that Incident, Jace began to give you personal space. The three taught you many things, like boxing, to be more flexible, shooting, and more. You practiced for about an hour, making you drenched in sweat. Alex walked over toward you, handing you a towel.

ping!

You pull your phone out to see a notification from Karl. He was asking you to go to a beach, surprisingly at this time. You snickered. Alex couldn't contain himself, and glanced over at your phone.

"Who's Felix? Seashell beach?"

"I met him a few weeks ago, he's a sweet friend If you think about It."

Alex crossed his arms. "Mhm. Sweet friend yeah yeah." he mocked.

Clyde walks towards you. "Well, not bad Y/N. I'll see you another day."

You shook hands with Clyde.

As soon as you got in your car, you went straight to your phone.

You went to maps, and entered the location. The car sputtered, and off you go.

Alex noticed Y/N had left to go to some "Felix" guy. His emotions got out of control. Jealous, he quickly covered his head with his helmet and drove to Seashell beach.

You park in front of a small wiggly pathway with railings on the side. It was quite dark, but you the faint moon light shined against a man. Karl was there, sitting on the sand alone. You step a foot on the sandy path on your way to Karl. He was In his own world, so you discreetly sat down next to him not saying a word.

Karl's eyes seemed so bored. They were droopy and sad, shining like glass.

"Hi, Felix." you say, tapping his shoulder.

Karl slightly flinched, then realized It was you. His eyelids flew up high, and his pupils started to grow. "Hey, Y/N."

You realize you only met Karl two weeks ago, but It felt like you've known him before, even though you barely knew him. You spark up a conversation, trying to get more about him.

"Felix."

He makes eye contact with you.

"Tell me more about you, I hope we can be closer as friends."

"Odd question, you really are weird." his intentions were clear, he didn't want to share anything about himself. He was quite protective.

It became silent for a moment. "Fine, I guess."

"I lived in Mexico for a while, then I moved here. I love big sweaters or hoodies,"

"and I also love personal space." he says, scooting over a bit.

Quite obvious he didn't like physical touch, but that was your way of showing affection. It seemed like he just needed a hug Instead. Maybe It wouldn't be the best Idea right now.

"Ah, I used to live In Mexico too! I loved It there. I had two close friends, but I'm not sure what happened to them."

One of his eyebrows raised. He let out the smallest gasp.

"I wish I were a kid again. I was full of love. I was full of joy." he said suddenly.

"It sucks being an adult, I want to be with my childhood friends again. It feels like I have no one. I'm constantly talking to the air."

Tears started to form In his eyes. A small tear runs down his cheek.

He noticed you looked concerned, Karl started to blink rapidly and wipe his tears away. "My bad. You weren't suppose to hear that." He stood up, about to leave.

Before he could leave, you jumped Into his arms. You rested your head on his chest, holding tightly to him.

"No one should feel that, Felix. I believe you have a good heart. Even though you may not show It as often, I know you do. You're not alone, of course you're not. You have me."

Karl paused, not knowing what to do. It seemed like he hadn't gotten a hug In a while. He hugged back. The hug lasted for a bit, but he appreciated It.

Alex settled down his motorcycle, trying to be as sneaky as possible. He was lost, there was no one. He walked around for a while, but then finally found his destination, only to be disappointed. Alex stopped In his tracks and dropped his motorcycle to the ground.

He watched as you hugged Felix tightly. His mind was bombarded with thoughts, wondering who he is, what you're doing, why you're hugging him. Alex attempted to take a peak of his face, but It was too dark out.

"Fuck." he muttered.
