Spot

You waited expectantly outside of school, watching as fellow students left for the day. Before you knew it the courtyard was empty, and you were alone. Vita was supposed to meet you, but it seemed he was running late. By the time you were considering leaving, Vita came stumbling out of the building. His appearance was haggard at best, and drastically different from this morning. It was normal for him to walk in a wobbly and swaying manner, but as he neared where you were standing you grew increasingly worried about him.

"Hi." Vita greeted you tiredly. Now that he was standing directly in front of you it was hard to ignore how the guy looked. His clothes were covered in bright yellow splotches.

"Do I even want to know what happened to you?"

"I tripped." Vita's gaze hardened and he looked away.

"Is that all?" You asked, skeptically looking at the bright yellow stains on his shirt. "You smell like you're covered in mustard."

"I tripped." Vita repeated.

"Okay..." You responded worriedly. Vita was a weird guy, but this behavior was odd. There was obviously something bothering him, but you didn't know how to properly ask about it.

"Ready to get to work?" Your friend asked blandly, already pacing ahead.

"Ready as I need to be I guess." You shrugged impassively. "Would you wait a second though?"

"What?" Vita asked sharply. He turned around to find you rifling through your bag for something. He was confused and surprised when you pulled out a roll of gauze bandages. You held up the roll to him, but he only continued watching you puzzled.

"They aren't exactly perfect, but its better than nothing." You explained. "Clean yourself up and then we can go. I insist." Hesitantly, Vita accepted the bandages and did his best at wiping off the mess.

"Thanks."

"No problem, this is the second time today I'm using this stupid cheap emergency kit. Who knew it would come in handy like this?" After a short break and Vita thoroughly cleaning himself off the two of you continued down the street. "Mind dropping by my place real quick?"

......

Vita seemed in better spirits, but there was a distinct lack of conversation coming from your friend. He was being rather attentive towards the sidewalk. He would take larger and shorter steps to avoid cracks in the concrete.

It was a short commute from the school to your home. You were at the door before you knew it.

"By the way V..." You paused to address Vita while holding the door handle "Please... try leaving a good impression with my mom? She's never met one of my friends before."

"I'll try." Vita nodded listlessly and followed you into the bakery. Senora Jones smiled and waved upon hearing the welcome bell.

"Hey honey- oh!" She abruptly stopped with a confused expression when she noticed the tag along trailing behind you. "Who might this be?"

"Hiya Y/n's mom!" Vita suddenly lightened up, he waved at your mother emphatically.

"Hi..." You greeted your mother while studying Vita's drastic emotional shift. "This is my friend Vita." You introduced. "We were going to go work on a school project together at his house."

"Don't worry Miss. J." Vita threw an arm over your shoulders. "Y/n will be fed and returned by tonight." He flashed an uncharacteristically normal looking smile. Vita would usually grin widely, to the point you wondered if it hurt his cheeks. This time when he smiled it fit his face, but it looked forced, stiff.
