As the boys prepared to set off, the skies darkened, a sign that the day is near its end. Due to the lack of light, or sight for that matter, the two decided to camp out for the night and get moving tomorrow.
Ness gathered some twigs and pulled out a 3 inch lighter from his backpack, which he used to lit the twigs on fire. While he was doing that, Lucas sat and watched the hatted boy quietly. Something about him, was strange.
Lucas could not fathom this new sensation that was put upon him, he never felt this way to anyone else, only to a random boy that he met just today.
The two boys were too tired for another conversation, they promised to learn about each other more tomorrow. They traded goodnights and laid down.
What a day it has been, thought Lucas, from homicide to finding another Psi wizard. He was happy, the pros outweighed the cons today, he actually lived a genuinely productive day without fucking up.
Before he could drift off to sleep, Lucas' eyes locked on to the slumbering boy that faced him. Ness looked so peaceful, he wondered if this was how he looked when he slept. This is weird, Lucas thought, I probably shouldn't stare at people when they sleep. It was not "ethical" to stare at people for an extended period of time, got it.
He wondered what Ness was so embarrassed about today, he has yet to figure out what "No homo" and "gay," meant. The only time he had heard "Gay" was from his arguments with Claus, who used to call him by it when he is mad.
As much as he would love to keep thinking, his head fell asleep, along with other parts of his body.
There were no sound to fill the emptiness of the night, only dead silence.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"WAKE UP!" yelled Ness, directly into Lucas' ears.
"Ouch, what the hell dude" Lucas said, while recovering from the earape Ness had just inflicted upon him.
"Its late, at least I think, I don't have a watch...We gotta move."
"Its like 5."
"Probably like 8, but okey."
"You didn't have to scream..."
"Sorry."
"Really sorry?"
"Nah."
":O"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The boys readied up and set off, they had no clue where they were going, but they were going.
"So, since our conversation got cut off yesterday, maybe you should tell me a little more about yourself?" Ness asked, now feeling more alive than ever. "Got any pets?"
"Got a dog named Boney, He's alright, hopefully he's not dead."
"I have one too, his names' King, lives like one too. I'm sure your dog's fine."
...
"So, um, this might be a tough one but, you know, your family, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Ness hoped to get closer to Lucas and know him better. Mine's stuck in a shelter somewhere, they must be too afraid to get out.
...
"We can move on to other things if you don't wanna talk about it, lets see, what is your favorite episode of my l-"
"My family?" Lucas whispered. "My mother passed away on the day of that everything happened, but my dad and brother are probably still alive."
"Oh, sorry."
"Yeah...Its fine, I'm kinda over it. Its not like I'm on the verge of tears or something, You can't really change the past."
"Speaking of which, where are your other family members?"
"They are, hopefully safe aboard the Oasis, I'm not sure where they are going, I really hope to see them again soon."
"The Oasis? The big bird? Your family must be special, I heard it was only open for rich families."
"Well, my family isn't exactly rich, we just got invites."
...
The banter went on for hours and hours, soon, the day was almost over, again. They didn't eat or drink, (They didn't have any) but it didn't matter, they were almost having fun.
"I am so glad someone also likes Teletubbies, people like you are rare these days." Ness said, grinning. "Remember that episode with that green dude chomping on the blue dude who screamed like a swimsuit chick from Summers.
"I do! That was one hilarious episode, it went "ahhhh.""
"Nah, more like "ehhhhh" to me"
"Statistically logically and spiritually incorrect, you cannot mistaken "Ah" with "Eh." I am so disappointed in you." Lucas said with many gallons of sass in every word.
"AHHHHHHHH!" Ness cried.
"Wow, that was a good one, see, you are getting good at this." Lucas said, laughing like a unhinged puppy.
"No! Lucas! Leg! Stuck!"
"What are you chattin about Ness."
"My Leg, it's stuck!" Ness screamed. He went into his backpack and grabbed his lighter, upon turning it on, Lucas couldn't not notice the bloodied ankle.
"Help me open this thing." Ness hissed in pain. "Why was this here?"
"I'm...trying...to get this...open, we need a wrench or something."
"A wrench?"
Suddenly the two boys froze, now petrified, they noticed something menacing, stalking.
Two men, two mask, and two laser red eyes.
