It didn't take long until Jaxx was outside his front door. He put up his spiky red hair into a messy ponytail as he started walking towards the sidewalk. As expected, it had gotten dark. But not too dark for the streetlights to light on, nor to see stars in the sky. Before starting his run, stretching was something he did not forget. After stretching, Jaxx took a deep breath and plugged his headphones in, as he started his run around the city.

The first song coming up when he pressed shuffle on Spotify was 'I hear a symphony' by Cody fry. A song he listened to non-stop when he was younger. He got weirdly attached to it again when he joined. Jaxx would never in life admit he reminded him of one of his all time favorite songs. If Jaxx was ever going to admit anything about Sora it was how good of a kisser he was, not to mention the beautiful voice of his. Darn it- he thought about Sora again.

Already after five minutes Jaxx felt his breath getting heavier to the lack of stamina he had. But he decided not to let himself slow down. Though, maybe he should have taken a shorter route.

Jaxx' mind began wandering off as he passed citizens walking through the streets. Passing malls and restaurants reminded him of the empty fridge at his home. A small sigh of relief escaped as he took off to the convenience store he always went to, his mind still not letting him get a break.

He was pathetic. Pathetic for ending the call. Pathetic for having childish nightmares. Pathetic for skipping joining his friends. Pathetic to cry over a boy. The sun was about to set and he hadn't even bothered checking his notifications. Not even bother to ask Sora why. Not even bother telling the people concerned he was alright. Keyword, 'alright'. He was pathetic for not eating yesterday thanks to the sudden news. Then it hit him.

What would his friends think of him now?

Jaxx had been so focused on Sora he forgot about his friends. Do they know? Did Sora tell them? Are they worried? Or did they believe Jaxx's lie?

Jaxx almost sprinted past the store. When Jaxx went inside he shrugged the thoughts away as good as possible for him. Deciding on focusing on what he would eat for the next few days.

Jaxx made his way out of the store. In one hand a bag with ingredients to food, as the other hand hidden in the jacket's pocket. Walking towards his home with his head down to the floor. He could get the thoughts and guilt feelings away for sometime, but as fast as he remembered a memory, all the hard work went down the drain. Jaxx knew heartbreaks was painful, as for being familiar with it because of being in multiple relationships before. Although it was not the same. It really hurt this time, Especially because Jaxx hadn't talked to someone about it. Maybe he should tell Lev-

Jaxx let out a small yelp as he fell backwards to the ground. Meeting eyes with a familiar face. "Ouch!"

"Oh gosh I'm so sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going."  The person said. "Let me help you up, hottie."

The stranger reached out their hand for Jaxx to grab it. Jaxx stared at it for some time, taken back by the nickname, but did not hesitate to grab it after realization kicked in.

"I like your red hair." The stranger pointed at Jaxx's hair and after theirs. "Looks like we have the same taste." Jaxx chuckled at the statement, trying to figure out where he remember them from. He scanned the person up and down, the person not minding being stared at. Actually, they seemed to like being stared at. Jaxx looked up at the bow at top of the person's head. That was all to make Jaxx recognize who they were.

"Erza?" Jaxx said and the girl brighten. She nodded and put her hands on her hip to pose.

"That's me! Then you must be Jaxx from inquisitormaster, right?" Erza folded her arms and smirked.
