Prism Of Lovers

27

No one's pov:
"We need to find what the hell we are getting ourselves into...." Violet said.

Everyone agreed. "Violet's right. This thing we saw....the two men, it's not something normal. We have to find out where this came from." Morris gestured to the pouch in his hands. "We have a week to ourselves. The semester break. It's coming in three weeks. Let's just wait for it. We can go to the woods then. Maybe." Veronica suggested. "That's a good idea. Let's do that." Skyler agreed.

Everyone nodded considering the idea of visiting the forest.

During the three weeks:
The seven friends were quite busy for the three weeks. Everyone had their semester examinations. Group study here and there, sharing notes now and then....that's how their week passed. Violet was definitely okay but Nathan being the one having her diary was baffled by the amount of things the girl had gone through. He got to know the things no one but Veronica did. You could say Veronica was Violet's diary herself. Violet said, Veronica heard. Violet cried, Veronica consoled. Violet gave up, Veronica laid another way.

Meanwhile Morris and Urban were doing fine. Every bit of doubt Morris had, was swept away. However, Skyler was beginning to get a few nightmares. He used to be alone at his apartment not having anyone to cuddle with or share his fears with.

"You can stay the nights at our dorm Skyler." David said breaking the train of thoughts Skyler had going around. "Huh...?" Skyler questioned. The boys, Skyler, David and Urban were studying for their Behaviourism classes in the library. "You have bags under your eyes. You haven't been hearing what I said since almost an hour. You don't attend morning classes anymore. It's clear you don't sleep good. I presume...it's because you need Nathan?" Skyler was stunned at the observations made by David. "He isn't wrong Skyler. Like...you might have wanted to be with Nathan and it's completely alright. It's obvious that not having same room to share with the person you love..might be bugging you. You should consider his offer." Urban said patting Skyler's shoulder. Skyler nodded.

"Well....where would you go David? Would you be comfortable with me and Nathan cuddling in the same room?" Skyler chuckled, the other two boys following him. "I'll be completely fine. Me and Veronica spend time in the dorm lounge every night. So we return pretty late. Don't worry about me or the dorm authorities. Mike won't even recognize you as someone else since you spend most of the time at our dorms." Skyler nodded at David's explanation. "Fine...I'll come by and surprise my baby tomorrow. Thanks."

Soon, Skyler started spending nights at Nathan's and David's dorm making his nightmares bid a goodbye in almost a week. The examinations were over. And the friends were exhausted. They decided to meet up at the dorm café for lunch after their last papers of the semester.

"God my hand's killing me." Violet groaned. "Mine is almost numb. I don't know if I can feel anything." Veronica whined. "I admit. Those examinations sucked the lives out of us all." Morris leaned back on the café chair. Urban glanced at the boy and brought his hands to his mouth. "I wish you feel better baby." With that, he kissed the boy's knuckles smiling lightly at the blushing boy. The group began to coo at the couple. "Too much sweet isn't good for me!" Violet groaned under her breath. "Baby do you want a massage? I'll give you one once we head back to the dorms." Veronica suggested to David who was silent the whole time being the most tired. "I said too much sweet isn't good for me!" Violet yelled grumpily at the table. Everyone laughed at the tired girl.

"Okay now we have a week from tomorrow. What's the plan?" David asked the friends who suddenly became serious. "Road trip maybe?" Skyler asked. Everyone's eyes lightened up at the suggestion. "Oh my god! Road trip with friends! That's so cool." Morris jumped on his seat. "Yeah! We can maybe rent a cabin in the woods. Or a penthouse or anything. I don't know." Violet suggested. "Well I went to the woods and I found many cottage rentals near the end and beginning of the woods. We can stay there." Morris suggested. "Yes. We can do that baby." Urban winked at the boy, who now was suddenly shy. "I like the idea of this. We'll have a great time." Nathan grinned.

"I call dibs on sharing room with Nathan." Violet raised her hand up gently. "Hey! He's my boyfriend. He'll stay with me!" Skyler exclaimed. "He's my baby boy!" Violet shouted even more. "So is he mine!" Skyler raised his voice higher making other students stare at the scene. Nathan was madly blushing at the behaviour of his boyfriend. He was even more surprised to see Violet become so possessive over him.

"Ugh..will you both stop? Why not share nights alternately? We'll have an extra room. Happy?" Urban said shaking his head. Violet nodded pouting and Skyler agreed as well replying with a small 'fine'.

"Moving on...how are we gonna go there? Skyler doesn't have a bike. He won't be able to take anyone with him. And even if he did, Violet will be left. The woods take about an hour to reach." David said. "How about a van? Like a travel van I suppose?" Morris suggested. "That'd be good. It would be comfy and better than bike. And most importantly... we'll all get to go together. That's what matters." Veronica grinned at the group.

"I'll check with a few car rentals and see if I can get a good van for us." Urban said already texting someone. Everyone nodded. "Also guys.. I heard the home-visit week got postponed." Nathan said. "Thank goodness." Violet rolled her eyes. "Um...you don't wanna visit your home?" Skyler asked. "You mean my house? Yeah..no thank you." Violet gave a sarcastic smile. "What's the difference? Home, house? It's the same." Urban asked. "Well you see my dearest soulmate here thinks that home is a place where someone feels safe, loved and cared for. A house on top of it, is just a construction of walls giving shelter." Veronica explained. The three boys nodded not wanting to press the subject furthermore. David and Morris sighed knowingly.

"Actually my mom texted me saying you guys should come to my place for a weekend when we all go to our home-visit." Nathan suggested. "I won't mind at all. I'm in." Violet immediately agreed. Everyone else agreed as well.

"So guys I got a text. The van can be arranged. Violet you're in charge of snacks.....pleaseeeeee." Urban requested with pleading eyes. "Yeah I can do that. Don't give those ridiculous puppy eyes." Violet chuckled. "Yeah. You don't even look cute doing that. Learn from me." Veronica suggested showing her puppy eyes to David. "Fuck...I'm too young to die baby!" David clutched his chest as if holding his melting heart. Veronica stole a kiss from his lips and that made the boy whine even more in awe. Everyone chuckled at the two's behaviour.

"So the plan is set. We're gonna find whatever the stuff that pouch holds." David said. Everyone nodded. Nathan, Violet and Veronica along with Morris decided to not wear the trinkets for a while and keep those in the pouch itself. The pouch was with Morris.

As the lunch was over, everyone returned to their dorms, Skyler following the girl's dorm wanting to help Violet with the road trip snacks.

~the road trip was gonna be a life changing experience for the seven friends for sure.
