When Nene went to sleep the night before that day she had no clue she would wake up and everything would be so different. Her world as she knew had been shattered and flipped upside down and all she wanted to do was curl up and disappear.
She wasn't sure how long she had been in the house since then, when the last time she had seen anyone or even seen the sun, and all she wanted to do was stay there. Instead, Nene got up, showered, and threw on whatever was on the floor within reach and walked out the door. She wasn't sure where she was going but somehow, almost instinctively, she ended up at Pico's.
They had been close friends since middle school. There wasn't much they didn't tell each other but he was always elusive with the information surrounding his relocation, but it was obvious he had fled and was hiding from something.
She never pried too far, it almost felt like it was safer for him if she didn't know. Nene had a strong urge to do whatever kept him safe, though subconsciously. She wasn't aware yet the feelings she had for him, she just knew that he was really fucking cool, and wanted to spend all her time with him.
So there she was, a mess on this man's doorstep, who she'd come to be very fond of. Pico opened the door and immediately caught on that something was wrong.
“Hey, what's up? Come in, come here, are you alright? I've been trying to call you.” He bombarded her with questions in that slow drawl of his and she was surprised at how much it comforted her.
Nene went to open her mouth to explain everything but all she was greeted with was a heart shattering sob. She broke down completely, feeling absolutely humiliated at her show of emotion in front of this man. Suddenly she was enveloped in his arms.
Shocking her even more, he picked her with little effort and carried her to what she thought would be the couch, to her confusion he bypassed the couch and brought her to the back room, laying her gently on the bed.
“It's a lot cleaner back here, I hope it's alright and not too weird.” He said, looking both worried and slightly out of place.
“It's fine, thank you.”
