Love in A Warzone

7: His Birthday Today?

She had known Flippy longer than anyone else in town and had only ever seen him interact with people. She had never once seen him act hostile toward others. But she did know of his history with people who died young or old; his past victims could've been his close friends. but it was hard to believe that someone as loving as he could be capable of murder, especially his friends.
The Next morning came faster than Y/n wanted it to, the sun was rising and Y/n felt her bones ache from staying awake for nearly four days straight. She sighed before stretching her arms over her head, popping her joints to try to wake herself up. Her body relaxed after a few moments. Her muscles were sore, but she could ignore that. Flaky told her to stay in the house for a little before going outside and exploring the town. Y/N rolled her eyes at this and went back to brushing her teeth; she washed her face and brushed through her hair with a brush. Finally, Y/N put on some fresh clothes and headed outside. She saw Flippy leaning against a nearby house waiting for her. "Hey Y/n... "It's been a while since we met, so let's catch up on our old conversations." He smiled before opening his arms wide and motioning for Y/N to join him. Y/N raised an eyebrow at the gesture and stepped closer to him before reaching her arm forward and wrapping her arms around Flippy's torso, hugging him tightly, and resting her head on his chest. Y/N had missed Flippy terribly, but she had to be cautious now that she knew he had PTSD and was talking to himself.She also knew he needed space to think about everything, and if that meant not being physically in touch with anyone, he would accept this. "How's your week been?" Flippy inquired casually, breaking the silence between them. "Good, actually," Y/N responded, smiling widely "Well can you guess what today is?" He asked rhetorically, Y/n smiled before shrugging lightly. “It’s my birthday!" he stated proudly 
"Oh wow, your birthday? Wow, you're turning 30? That is amazing. Y/N replied excitedly, "Wow, I'm so lucky! Can I celebrate with you? Flippy chuckled nervously before looking at her with a worried expression. She nodded her head and said, "Yeah, I guess it won't hurt..."
