// A/N: It took me the whole day to write the beginning partly because Artem and Vyn are characters that are complex in dialogue. Also, this is spoiler-free because it doesn't connect to the game, just a wholesome story. //

It felt like a surprise when, one day, Marius had the greatest idea he ever had. Even Luke had to sit down to process this correctly.

"So you're saying that we should take a day off by going to... the amusement park?" Luke asked.

"Exactly! Seeing as we all serious men had probably little to no experience of fun, I'd thought it'd be an opportunity to spend that time on Saturday, at 10 a.m.," Marius laughed softly.

"Excuse you! I'm Clairemont's childhood friend, and we had tons of fun that I can remember!" Luke rebutted.

"We know, Luke. But can you remember one memory that you enjoyed the most?" Marius stared intently.

Luke was about to add more, but he went silent. Marius smirked again and faced the other two.

"Well, I don't mind taking a break; it looks like I have a free weekend," Vyn said with a smile.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt to visit one ourselves. My last memories of the amusement park were my elementary days." Artem held the papers firmly.

"Seriously? You guys are boring. Except for you, Teach, you're more interesting," Marius said, leaning on the couch. As Vyn returns the compliment with a small smile, Luke feels defeated.

"Why does Marius feel the need to call me boring?" he mumbled.

"So, Luke, what's your answer?" Marius looked to the brunet, who sighed and agreed with no choice.

"Excellent! I'm texting Clairemont to see if she'll join us; it wouldn't be complete without her," Marius winked.

"I'm sure she would say that she has work. It's rare that she gets a break and hangs out with her office friends," Artem recalled.

"How about you? She told me a week ago that all you can talk about is work and nothing about your life. Isn't that crazy?" Luke laughed.

Artem sighed, "I guess that applies to me too. Celestine tried to invite me and some officemates to dinner, yet I still said no because of work. Such a shame."

"I recommend joining a few hangouts with friends if you want to liven up your life. As one proverb says, 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.' I am not going to imagine an Artem Wing who is boring,"  Vyn plainly said.

As his name was mentioned, Artem arched his brow in disapproval. "Such a bold statement, Vyn. As if I'm the boring one, you look and act like the most complex person I can't translate in simple terms," he scoffed.

"Okay, can we just stop arguing and go back to the main topic? Clairemont just texted that she would try to join us if work doesn't overtake her," Marius called out.
