Make me Yours and Yours Alone

One Train Wreck of a Weekend

     Violent vibrations sent through the hollow drawer only made the loud buzzing more painful in Y/N's ears as they threw off the thin woven blanket that had been laying bunched up over their stomach. Disappointment and pain plastered the sleepy face that arose from behind a wall of boxes, and the soft creeks of a single twin sized mattress followed Y/N's movements. Y/N reached a limp heavy arm in the direction of the loud buzzing, knocking over a small box in the process. 

"hmn?" was the only sound emitted from the grumpy voice once they had finally obtained the ringing cell phone. Having no idea who was on the other side of the phone as they answered without seeing the contact, Y/N was pleasantly shocked by the voice of Krosl, a friend from Shnezhnaya who moved to Liyue only a week before Y/N moved to Sumaru. 

"Good morning cock blocker" spoke the teasing voice from the phone, earning a sound somewhere in the middle of a scoff and a chuckle. Warm light poured into the windows and bathed the room just enough for Y/N to see the mess of overturned boxes, clothes and books pouring out of a few of them. "Mmn g'morning drug dealer, how's your business in Liyue?"

Krosl responded to Y/N with an exhausted sigh, dissatisfaction evident. "Well, just as you'd said, smaragdus jadite is all but non-existent here. 'm thinkin' I might have to look for something else" Krosl continued discussing his business with Y/N as they maneuvered around the boxes searching for something to change into, deciding it best to start unpacking their items in the process.

     Within the next four hours Y/N had unpacked all of their clothes into the closet center of the wall across from the bedroom door. The unmade mattress sitting in the corner left of the closet had just barely enough space next to it for the bedside table nestled between them. Most of the boxes now have been moved into the far corner of the room, the light from the window now softly illuminating the room from the wall right of the bedroom door.

Content with their progress Y/N set down the remaining items in their hands and slowly dragged themselves to lay back on the mattress. Bliss, cold and relaxing bliss is all Y/N felt for the few short moments before Krosl's voice spoke up again. "Anyways, I have to let you go here. It was fun talking to you again, hope the transition to your new school goes smoothly! I gotta go meet up with some people for lunch, later Y/N" the end of his message was signaled by the sound of the call ending, disappointment washing over Y/N as they couldn't say goodbye.

"ugh, right... a new high school." Y/N grumbled as they brought their hands to hide the shriveled expression forming on their face. Remembering the unpleasant information about the move left a sour taste in their mouth and made Y/N want to scream, they had no say in the matter of moving to Sumaru, they never wanted to in the first place. Things felt out of Y/N's control, making them feel like a burden, collateral damage. 

Sitting up and rubbing the negativity off their face, Y/N set their self to work on the new to-do list. They never liked the work and yet it felt important enough they couldn't set it aside for later. Y/n's mother, Trina, had already signed them up for Sumaru City's public high school, they only had to visit the campus to retrieve a school ID, uniform, and the class schedule.

     Driving to the campus of the high school wasn't the difficult step, mentally preparing to speak to teachers and other school staff was. A nauseating knot twisted in Y/N's chest as they walked through the halls of the large building. Ahead of Y/N was a teacher, showing them to all of their classes. She wore a floral-patterned shirt with beige pants, matching green heels clicking annoyingly as the teacher walked forward. Y/N had shown up during class hours, so the teacher had only shown them to the doors of each class, rather than letting Y/N step inside to talk to each teacher.

"Lumine, what are you doing out of class?"

Y/N peaked around the teacher to see a 5'4" blonde crouched in front of a locker. Perhaps they'd forgotten something needed for class? Unfortunately, Y/N had been incorrect, evident by the surprised yip followed by a loud metal bang and various items being carelessly shoved back into the locker. One or two small bags meeting the floor for a moment before joining the rest in the locker. "OW! ahaheh~ Hi Ms.Kuna... uh, who's that?"

"Lumine." Ms.Kuna spoke sternly, unamused by the blonde's attempt to change the subject, but nonetheless entertaining the question. "Another transfer student. Lumine, this is Y/N. Y/N, Lumine. By dumb coincidence you both share the same homeroom class with Mr.Sadi"

     Standing up and patting off the dust from her uniform skirt, Lumine offered a hand for you to shake in greeting. Another transfer student? So Lumine was a transfer student too, this made Y/N feel more okay, at least they weren't alone now... maybe... as it turned out Lumine had transferred into the school only a month after the school year began. Now however it was almost the middle of the school year, and with such a different yearly schedule than what Y/N was used to, it felt as if the year was only beginning. Begrudgingly, the teacher allowed Lumine and Y/N to exchange social media information before finishing off the tour of the school. 

For the second time today Y/N's ears were attacked by harsh ringing, this time signaling the release of the students. Rushed footsteps flooded the halls as classes emptied and loud clamoring voices overwhelmed Y/N and they almost lost their footing whilst exiting the building to reach their car. Y/N felt like they could puke at any moment, after starting the car and letting it run a few moments they sigh. Father would be home by now, and this only added to the nausea slowly climbing in Y/N.

Y/N and their parents had never been on good terms about the move and their father's involvement with the Fatui would surely only make it worse. This was all Y/N could think about when driving back home from the school building, the Fatui paid for their school in full, sure, however it still left a sick feeling in Y/N's mouth. Y/N felt sick, they'd been feeling sick, this entire day was nothing but sickening.
