Guided by Fate (Fiz-Bun Fluff)

Chapter 36

Luna's car was a light blue bus - I hope that's the right kind of car, it was never really my "thing" - with a single row of seats behind the driver's seat, and a fairly clean back. She had a blue case for some kind of guitar, several boxes, and a set of envelopes labeled "Campagn Notes."

I slid into the backseat, expecting Fiz to sit in the passenger seat, but she instead scooted next to me, cuddling my arm.

"So, I've got to pick up my cousin, but we can go over to my place to hang out, if you'd like," Luna explained. "He's two years younger than me, basically fresh out of high school."

"So about my age, then?" I guessed.

"I'm... not really good with guessing people's ages." Luna admitted shyly, turning on her car and pulling out onto the main road.

I had expected her car to run roughly - for some reason? - but it was one of the smoothest car rides I've ever had. Fiz spend the whole time clinging to me, and after a few moments I realized she was shivering.

"Fiz? You okay?" I asked.

"We're moving really fast. Is this safe?" She asked.

"Oh! Right, sorry, you're from another world, I forgot. Yeah, this is average speed for a car, they're really safe... though, you should put on a seat belt, it'll keep you safer on the off chance something bad does happen." Luna shrugged. "If you need, I'll slow down."

"You don't need to, but thank you," Fiz smiled, looking at her waist. "Uh, Tommy? Where's the seatbelt?"

I laughed softly and reached across her - getting a peck on the cheek - and helped her buckle up.

We barely had time to talk about anything, before we pulled to a stop outside the mall.

"Hey, we were just here earlier!" Fiz bubbled.

The passenger side door opened, and a young man slid into the seat... The same one who had been working at the store where we bought Fiz her new outfits.

Luna turned slightly, gesturing to Fiz and I, "Dyhart, this is-"

"Ah, the bunny girl and her boyfriend. How are you two?" He asked, smiling with a cocky, innocent grin.

"Pyu~" Fiz whined gently, "Wh-what do you mean!"

"... you're clearly a magical bunny girl," Dyhart said in a deadpan. "Don't freak out, I can see stuff like that? Honestly if Luna never mentioned it, I woulda thought I were nuts."

"I can't always see the ones he sees. But if I can see them, he can too." Luna said, calmly pulling the car through the parking lot.

"Like seers?" Fiz tilted her head. "Back home, some people could see through False Magic. They were called Seers."

"I guess?" Dyhart shrugged. "Oh! Luna, we have a session today right?"

"Oh, right. Is Emi going to be there?" Luna asked.

"Yeah, she said she'd walk... knowing her, run."

"...a session of what?" I asked curiously.

Dyhart smiled playfully. "You'll see, I'll make sure to get fresh papers for you both."

Ugh, sorry it took so long to get this out. I'm now pretty sure the lung pain I've had since April is a fractured rib, but I'm getting X-Rays tomorrow morning for it.

Anyway, if you don't know, Dyhart is another of Fizintine's characters. He's basically a huge tank, but there's a few comics where Fiz swaps their power, making him into a shota. I kiinda liked the idea of having another guy show up for Thomas to befriend, so here he is.
