The Perfect Day

It was perfect. His life. His journey from one day to the next. It was perfect. Nothing stood in his way of having a "good day". His life couldn't get any better. His morning routine was always the same. Wake up. Shower. Fixing his blond silky hair. Dressing and going to his sweet little kitchen where his bacon and eggs were already made for him. He never questioned anything. It was a perfect life for him. For Lucas.

He was eating his sunny-side-up egg, lightly sprinkled with pepper, and sighing at the knowledge that his day was going to be just as good as the previous days. He looked at the window located behind his kitchen sink, where a small Daisy was growing and saw the pretty blue sky with some perfectly formed Clouds. The clouds almost looked bouncy. He sighed happily, standing up and walking his clean plate to the sink, turning the water on. It always came out with the perfect temperature. Not too hot. Not too cold. It was the best it could be. He washed the plate and readied to head to work.

He always walked to work. Being able to stroll the sidewalk, and see his lovely neighbors was one of the parts Lucas always loved. He smiled at his neighbor. He was a very tall man with long flowing silver hair. "Hiya Seph!" The man, who was doing some gardening, specifically getting rid of the pesky weeds, looked up at Lucas. His smile grew.

"Hey. Off to work?"

"You bet!"

"Have fun!"

"I always do." Lucas chuckled softly as he walked past Seph's house. He greeted his other neighbors in the usual way he did it. He never felt bored by the consistency of his life. He loved it. He loved the security of knowing what was going to happen the next day.

He got to his job. He never really knew what he was working on, he just knew it made him money and it was something he had always done, without fail. He looked at his coworker, SORA, and smiled. He held up a fist. "Hey, man." Sora fist-bumped him without looking away from the screen.

"You know, Lucas, why don't you ever try to find a partner?" Lucas giggled. He always received this question from him. At first, he was taken aback by the question. But eventually, he got used to it, and it's now a part of his day-to-day life. He was not a lovey-dovey person. He never was. He didn't want the stress of having a partner. The stress of not knowing what could happen the next day. Lucas doesn't want that. He yearns for the opposite. He rather live a consistent, unchanging life.

And he was getting it. His job needed him to do....something. It involved a lot of typing but even I can't seem to fathom what it is they do. He continued his mindless typing, apparently making some type of progress. He was like this for a long while, not once questioning what he was doing and why. He just didn't care.

Soon enough, he looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was time for him to head back home. He turned his computer off and looked at Sora. "Welp, imma head on home." Sora nodded his head. He was reading a book. But something was wrong. Sora was reading a new book. Lucas just stared at him, his head twitching a bit.

"G'Night, Lucas." When Sora said this, it kicked Lucas out of his trance.

"Uh, y-yeah." Lucas gulped before walking off. Sora turned to look at the boy and smirked softly.

Lucas left the building, letting his mind wander in most ways he normally does. But one thing repeated in his mind. Sora was reading a different book. He shook his head. "Stop it!" He slapped the sides of his face, trying to stop his thoughts.

He eventually got back to his neighborhood. He took a small mental breather before greeting Seph. He entered his house and sighed. He still couldn't fix his mind. It was still too shaky. He walked over to the mirror and looked into it. "Tomorrow will be fine. It will be normal. Today was a fluke. Yeah....tomorrow will be normal." He nodded his head and walked off to do his normal afternoon regimen.
