Gays far from home (a homesick fanfic)

Meeting someone you knew

Tomoha smiled as she saw the oh so similar face. I can't believe it! Her eyes widened at the sight of the purple and pink haired was being led into the shelter. Tomoha eyed the girl just to see if she was see correctly.
"Tommie," Navin asked "is everything ok?" Navin was a very happy and healthy young man who was nearing his last days as a child. He prided himself with this and would constantly tell anyone about how he's almost 18.
    "Uh..." Tomoha quickly looked at her hands to find a very badly made blanket. She had just remembered what she was doing and had now made a fool out of herself. "Oh it's nothing Navin!" She replied, but Navin knew her too well to think she was fine.
    "Was there something outside?" Navin asked "do we need to tell Mr. Teo about it?" Tomoha shook her head. She didn't want her friend to know that she was watching the newcomers.
    "No! There's nothing outside that we should worry–" Tomoha was suddenly cut off by the suddenly intrusion of Gressil. Gressil was much older then the two. He had fashioned himself as a punk, but everyone knew he was a goth and that no matter how many times he corrected people, they would aways call him a goth.
    "Hey, Boss has a big surprise for us." Gressil said. His figure was leaning on the doorframe as he greeted the two people.
   "why? Did we do something wrong?" Navie asked. Tomoha gulped in dread as Navin eyes her hideous rag of a blanket. She didn't want to get into trouble for not finishing the blanket. Shewould have avoided this situation if it wasn't for her watching the purple and pink hair girl and was hoping she could start over again instead of getting a scolding for her incompetent.
  "Nope, but I like watching you two guess, so try again!" Gressil said, with a smirk on his face. He was the kinda person to do something mischievous whenever the moment was given to him.
"OMG!" yelled Navin, finally getting the hint, "we have new survivors!!!" Gressil made two pointer fingers at the boy while doing a wink.
    "Yep, and their around you're guys age!" Gressil said, hyping up Navin, "and if I'm correct, their planing on joining the team too!" Navin squealed in delight. He seemed very excited, especially since new people barely came to the shelter. Without hesitation, Navin got out of his chair and dashed out of the room, he wanted to get a sneak peek before the official introduction tonight. Gressil just laughed as Navin dashed down the stairs, he know the boy wasn't going to see them any time soon. Tomoha just looked at the freshly unorganized first aid kits that he was supposed to make. She knew Navin would get a scolding for leaving his assignment.
"I'll rearrange the kit and you just focus on fixing that blanket." Gressil said, sitting down in Navin's chair. Time when by as the two people worked hard. they had sorted, stitched and corrected any mistakes that were made and without a notice, Gressil started to talk. "So, how's your day been?" a small smirk was on his face as if he know something Tomoha didn't.
"It's been good," Tomoha replied, she didn't want anyone to know she was slacking off, "it's just been me focusing on making the blankets." Gressil just smirked while organizing the first aid kit.
"What do you think of the newcomers," Gressil asked, it was as if he was trying to get something out of the girl.
"I don't know," Tomoha said, "I have yet to meet them." Gressil just tapped his fingers on the wooden table. He looked at Tomoha and it was as if he can peer into her own body and mind.
"Well then," Gressil said, putting down whatever he had in his hands, "it's getting late, we should head out to the meeting room." Tomoha placed her blanket down at Gressil suggestion and got up and walking over to the door. "I know you were looking out the window," Gressil said, getting up too.
"How'd you guess?"
"I'm a mind reader," Gressil replied, "I know lot of thinks!"
Tomoha turned to the Goth, this sudden response explained many details about the goth. "Is this true?"
"Maybe?" A cheeky smirk was on his face and by now Tomoha couldn't tell if he was lying or telling the truth. She really wanted it to be the truth.
"Whatever you're think, I wasn't spying on them," Tomoha replied, trying to keep Gressil out "I was just looking out and happened to spot them". Gressil laughed. Tomoha knew if the goth said something about this to someone, word would move around and the bosses would know, and they had made it very clear that nobody should look at the newcomers until after the meeting ceremony.
"So what you think of the newcomers?" Gressil asked again, lbut to be honest with you, Rayne is what you think she is and not what you thinking she is..." the wording fumbled in Tomoha head and she guess this was some sort of riddle thing.
"I'm sorry, please explain what you said?" by now, Gressil had caught her attention. She didn't care if she broke the rule, or if she just saw a look alike, she wanted answers, now.
"Beware of your expectations..." Gressil said not it too complex for tomoha to understand and she just wanted to end this conversation. "I hope you can find peace with this situation!" Tomoha had now left the room and all Gressil could do was hope that his fortunes could get to her advantages.

"Come on Kenny," Tomoha said "let me in!" Kenny Keene nudged his body into the middle of the doorframe, blocking the girl from going inside.
"Sorry little miss, only members of Ultimate Hope can enter!"
"Kenny! It's me!" Tomoha said "you know I'm a member!" Kenny laughed as he tried to block her.
"I don't see a badge!" Tomoha rolled her eye, she was wearing her Ultimate Hope badge, it was just under her jacket. "Kenny just let me in!" The two struggles before being interrupted.
"Ken, let the poor girl in." A very tired voice said. The two looked up to see a blonde in a reddish pink shirt with a black Jacket over it. Tomoha quickly recognized him as one of the newcomers and quickly stepped aside. "No need for that," the boy said, "you should go inside instead, it's Ken who needs to move." Kenny make a raspberry at the boy before turning to Tomoha.
"Fine, but please wear your badge next time!"
"I am, Kenny!"
"Ugh, can you not!" A boy yelled, he had just walked up to the entrance. "I'm already having to greet a thousand people already!" Tomoha giggled.
"You mean 40, only members of Ultimate Hope are coming," Tomoha said, "and if your too anxious about it, it'll only last for a 30 minutes." Kenny nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry Sammie," Kenny assured. "I understand how overwhelmed you get at events like these–" the boy shoved Kenny out of the way, shutting him up in the process. They seem like the type duo to be on good turns only to be at each other's throats seconds later. This relationship was an interesting thing and Tomoha had to ask a question.
"Kenny, do you know that boy?"
"Yep," Kenny said, in glee "that's Samael, I've known him since he was a baby!" Tomoha pondered: want that's mean.
"So he's related to you?"
"Yes, he's my brother–"
"Cousins, we're cousins" Tomoha and Kenny turns to see Samael. It was as if he didn't leave. "We're cousins, don't even question it!" Tomoha just nodded in agreement. "Anyways, let's go, I want to get to bed soon...".

"Welcome everyone!" A man said. He was on a small podium and was with a few other people. Most of them were adults, but there were also young adults there too. Tomoha was also in the front of the crowd that had joined for the meeting ceremony and she had decided to put her badge on her jacket after the Kenny encounter. She had hoped that the purple and pink haired girl would recognize her, but instead Samael recognized her. The boy scanned her before stopping to stare at her skirt.
"DON'T BE A PERVERT SAMMIE!" Everyone turned to see Kenny, who had risen up from above the crowd just to yell at Samael. A pale white man by the name of Gladiolus had to pull him down while Samael and Teo gave him a death glare.
"I'm so sorry about him!" Teo said to the crowd, "but we all know about Ken's wildcard shenanigans so this isn't something new!" The crowd did a small laugh before letting Teo speak again, "Everyone, these people are Rayne and Samael, please treat them with respect!" There were more things said, but all Tomoha could think about was Rayne. She know it was Rayne the second she saw her, and Tomoha was extremely happy to see her.
"RAYNE!" She yelled, finally getting a change to talk to her. It's been half a month since she was separated from Rayne and now she was able to see her best friend again! Tomoha quickly ran up to Rayne, giving her a big hug
    "Uh...hi?" A sudden change wiped over Tomoha and she quickly removed herself from Rayne's form. "Can I help you?" This wasn't how it was supposed to go!
    "I'm fine!" Tomoha said, her voice cracking from all the sudden confusion. "I'm just really excited to see you!"
    "Excited to see me?" Rayne asked. She was very confused about this and Tomoha felt that too. Tomoha quickly saw Gressil from afar and he had this type of look that said:
    "Think about what I said."
    "Hey, is everything alright?" Rayne asked. Tomoha quickly realize she had spaced out and had noticed that now was not the best time to have this conversation.
    "I'm fine!" Tomoha said. She quickly looked at closed off space, but it were occupied by Samael and Null, who was a survivor that was usually solitary during these moments. "Hey, can we talk about this later?"
Rayne nodded. "Ok, where shall we meet?" Tomoha pondered. She didn't have much of a game plan and was now mostly going off script.
    "Uhh..." she quickly looked over to Gressil and he have a look that said:
    "Try the workshop room."
    "Well, we have this workshop area, and maybe we could continue this!" Tomoha cupped her hands together. She was praying that this would be some sort of prank, but a small voice said the opposite and that something was different about this Rayne.
    "Ok, I'll see you later then!" Rayne smiled before quickly leaving. It was a bit of a mood swings, but Tomoha was to dazed to notice.
