Short Story: Her and Him

Y/n's pov~

It's kinda getting late out but I don't wanna be home. Walking around the underground isn't so bad as the topsiders say it is. It has its own flaws, nothing is perfectly perfect. The best part of the day... is to cause trouble.

First things first, we need a target. Looking around I spot a man and his goons standing outside of the bar doors. Second, an object that'll be used to definitely piss them off. I grabbed a tin can that wasn't heavy but not exactly light either. "Perfect". Lastly, an escape route and this area is just right. I get into position closer to my exit.

No one's POV

She tosses the can up and down with her hand to warm up. In excitement she stands in a stable position, aims, then finally throwing the can with force.
'TING'

The sound rings from afar along with an angry groan of pain.
"Who did that?!" They look around and eyes landed on her.
"Oops-" she said nonchalantly waiting for them to go at her.
"You little" He didn't finish his sentence but did run to her. "You'll regret that!" Another one yells
"No, no I won't actually" She books it. The feeling of fear and adrenaline rushing through her veins was good. She jumped over junk blocking her path and dropping a few trash cans for them to fall over. She wasn't fully successful, but she did take one guy down. Laughing in glee she makes a sharp turn crashing into someone.

Y/n's pov

"Oof-"
"Ow-" They lay on the ground in pain.
"I'm sorry!" She gets up fast to help the person on the floor.
"It's fine I guess. Just watch where your going-" His sentence stops.
"Y-Y/N?"
"Huh Yeah? I- Mylo?!" I look at him feeling heat come to my face. 'This is so embarrassing!'
"Uh yeah" He looks at me more.

"Are you okay? What are you doing out here so late?" He questioned.
"I'm fine, it's nothing I can't handle. And uhhh I'm having fun?" I mean I wasn't lying to him.
"Having fun? As in-" right on cue the yelling men and the sound of clattering were getting louder.

"There you are!" Two figures in the ally appear.
"Get her!" They pointed at her and sprinted.

"Uh oh" I look at Mylo who seems to be in panic.
"RUN!!" I grabbed his hand and ran with him.
"Why are they after you?!" Mylo yelled while running behind me.
"I told you I was having fun!" We turned a corner fast.
"This is what you call fun?!" He stumbles a bit
"Yep!" I look around and spot a latter on the side of the building.
"Here! C'mon!" I wave my hand toward the direction up.

"Shit! We lost 'em!"
"They should be close by" they told each other and ran ahead.

No one pov~

The two lay there on the roof breathing heavily as the goons leave. Y/N starts to slowly laugh more and more. Mylo on the other hand looked at her and started to laugh along with her as if her laughter is contagious.
"That was crazy" he laughed out
"I know right!" She said in excitement
"Uh do you do that often?" He looks at her again a bit curious and concerned.
"I guess you can say that. I'm kinda an adrenaline junkie but not as bad as you think." She was being truthful.

"I didn't mean to get you caught up in it, sorry" she rubs the back of her neck.
"It's okay. It was actually fun." He assured her and y/n looks back at him with relief and happiness.

They both continued to lay there and started to star gaze. They shared laughter and talk a bit about each other.

"Hey Y/N?"
"Yeah?"
"I don't see you around here a lot." Mylo was very curious about this girl he just met.
"Oh. Yeah I actually am quite far and away from people."
"Why?"
"I'm not exactly a 'people person' you know? At least not anymore." She mumbles out the last bit. Mylo did hear it but rather not question it, taking it as a sensitive topic. He noticed she became quiet and down. 'What do I do?' He asked himself.
He moved his hand onto hers without thinking squeezing it, but he looks away to hide his blush. Mylo can feel the e/c eyes on him squeezing his hand back and made him blush harder. Y/N smiles at the boy 'cute' the thought made her cheeks rise with heat.
They stayed there in a peaceful silence enjoying each others company.

"This is nice" she sighs out looking at the sky.
"It is" he agrees with her
"I really like the night sky. No matter how much darkness there is, there's alway a light to show it's existence" she continued. Mylo turns his head towards her as she still stares up.
"It's beautiful" the e/c eyes look at the sky with awe.
"Yeah it is" he refers to the girl. She looks at the boy and lock eyes blushing.

"It's getting late huh?" She changes the subject
"U-uh yeah it is" he stutters.
"O-oh Um here" she pulled out a bracelet of her own to give to him. It was a black band with cogs as a design.
"I-I just thought it was only fair." She puts it around his wrist.
"T-thanks" Mylo smiles and rubs the back of his neck.
"No problem. Anyways wanna walk around a bit more before calling it a day?" She stands up holding out her hand to the boy.
"I'd like that" He grabs her hand and stands up.

While walking around the underground they kept up a conversation, it felt as if they were talking for hours and they didn't mind. They laughed a lot and it felt great. Neither of them has felt this way before.

"Here's my stop" Mylo points out standing informs of his home.
"Are you sure you'll be okay walking home on your own? I cou-" He was interrupted
"Mylo I already told you I'll be fine"
"If you say so" he finally gives up, losing so the stubborn girl. He hugs Y/N taking her by surprise and immediately hugs back. They stayed there for a while neither of them wanted to let go of this new yet comfortable feeling. The girl gave a kiss on his cheek.

"Ahem" a voice was heard startling the two.
"V-Vander!" Mylo squeaks out
'Vander?! Oh shit!" The girl thought.

"Now I see why your home so late" Vander teased him.
"I-it's not like that!" He blushed
"Sure it isn't" He laughed at the poor boy
"I should get going" she was about to walk off
"Wait a minute" The man stops her
"I must know the name of the girl that's dating my boy"
"I- We're not dating" they both blush harder
"I'm Y/N" she wasn't sure if she was supposed to say
"Vander. Well I hope to see you around" He smile at her.
"B-bye Mylo and Vander" she walks off
"Bye" both the males reply. When she was no longer in sight she ran home. 'Did I make the right choice?'

Skip~

As Y/N made it home she quickly went to her bed. She thought about the night she had with Mylo. This night specifically she'll remember forever, the 'best night ever'.

Here and there her and Mylo would bump into each other or talk in secret. They didn't want anyone else to know because they wanted this to be their only secret and it made their relationship more special. They felt as if they knew each other for a long time like it was since forever, but in reality it really wasn't. They were happy.

Happiness doesn't stay forever.
