You are one of Scott Lang's closest friend, and Hope's best friend. You are very interested in quantum physics but you never had the time to actually study about it, well atleast you know Scott Lang's amazing ability to shrink, if he us in his suit...
Birgons were chirping, the sky was orange and yellow, and the freedom fighters were training and preparing for their battle against Kang. Everyone was either attacking each other (as training) or packing supplies like food, medical supplies, extra weapons and etc.
Everybody was working....except for Xolum, nobody has seen him for a while, but nobody cared, since nobody questioned him, they were too scared to.
Quaz decided to try to find him since he had a special question to ask him, while Quaz was searching, Y/n was laying on their sleeping bag, "I'm so tired..." Y/n groaned, they felt so empty at the moment, like there was something missing.
They shrugged it off and decided to just rest, but then, "Wait...where's Xolum?" they thought.
Y/n's POV
Wait...where's Xolum? Hmm, maybe I shouldn't question his whereabouts, he probably went somewhere to create a plan, which makes sense, but I couldn't help but think about him. He's cool, nice, amazing and-
Ok, I'm getting way ahead of myself, why do I keep thinking about him? It's not like I'm in love with him.....right?
I got up and went outside, the sky was a orange and yellow hue, the sky shined bright, brighter then a star in the night sky, there was orange waves spiraling through the yellow background, with little sparks sprinkled around the scenery, the sight was astonishing, it reminded me of someone, Xolum.
Everything about him mesmerized me, his glow made me warm, being around him pushes away my bad thoughts, I can't seem to stop thinking about him.
Did I just think that?! Why am I thinking this? I tried to get rid of all of these crazy thoughts but they kept coming back, wait...am I falling in love with a quantum creature?!
I had a slight panic attack, why was I so interested in Xolum? I could fall for anybody, but him?
....maybe I should tell him soon?
Xolum's POV
I was wandering Altev, trying to clear my mind, but It was not working, I can't focus at all, whenever I'm close to having a clear mind, I get all warm and fuzzy, and it felt abnormally nice. All of my thoughts traced back to one person, somebody who got here on accident, and the first surface dweller I've seen in a long time, Y/n.
I felt nice and warm whenever I saw them, and much as it annoyed me, I..... liked it, I sighed and started to return to camp. While I was walking, Quaz approached me, "Oh, hey." I greeted, "Xolum...I need to talk to you about something." "About what?"
"You've been thinking about Y/n an awful lot." Quaz said, I flinched, he knows?! "Yes Xolum, I know," Quaz sighed, shit. "Also, whenever you think about Y/n, your head starts to glow brighter and warmer." Quaz continued, I started to back away, is there something wrong with me? "No Xolum, there's nothing wrong with you," Quaz sighed, "I think it's something else."
"What is it?" I asked curiously, Quaz breathes in and breathes out, "...Your in love with Y/n.", What?! This can't be happening, wait, what's love? Quaz gawked at me, "You don't know what love is?"
I shook my head, was I supposed to know what is 'love'? "Yes, Xolum, it's a pretty basic thing that everybody knows, did your parents not teach you that?" Quaz said, concerned. "I don't have parents."
"Oh, uh sorry about that, well let me explain to you what love is. Love is a feeling you get when you really like doing something or in your case, feeling affectionate with someone." Quaz explained , I stared at him blankly, "What's 'affectionate'?" "God dammit your stupid-"
"it's when you really like someone and develop feelings for them." Quaz sighed, realization hit me, I....am in love with someone? "Yes Xolum, precisely Y/n.", oh shit, so that's why I kept on feeling this way, "What do I do?" I freaked out, "Calm down, falling for someone is a common feeling, it happens to all of us, though, I didn't expect it from you." Quaz said, wow, that helped.
"How do I get rid of 'love'? I need to focus, I can't waste my time thinking about......Y/n." I groaned, "Hmm...well, I think," Quaz paused, "You should confess to Y/n."
"What do you mean confess?" I asked, "Ok, let me reword that, ok. You should tell Y/n you like them." Quaz advised, I flinched, what?! I can't do that! What will they think? What if they find me weird? I can't do this, I'll look...I'll look.
Weak
It got silent, really silent, none of us said a word, until Quaz spoke, "So, that's the problem, strength," Quaz scoffed, "You know Xolum, it's okay to seem vulnerable, everybody feels weak from time to time."
Quaz started to walk in the opposite direction, "Oh and, don't worry, I won't tell anybody about this," Quaz looked at me, "You should give it a shot, maybe it'll work.", he continued to walk away.
I was left there, standing by myself, when suddenly, "Hi there!" a cheerful voices pops behind me, I jumped and quickly turned around, scared that it was Y/n, but thankfully, it was only Veb. "Oh hey there." I greeted him back, "What where you and Quaz talking about before?"
"Uh, n-nothing." I frantically replied, shit, "Really, because I heard things about you liking Y/n or something." Veb obliviously tilted his head, I tired to make up an excuse but eventually, I blurted out, "Y-yes, that's true..."
Veb gasped, then he started shaking my arm, "You like Y/n? Wowie!" Veb cheered, my head started to glow in embarrassment, god dammit.
"Yes...please don't tell anybody," I pleaded sheepishly, "Ok, but when are you going to tell them?" Veb asked, "I don't know yet, I-I'm not ready..." I sighed, "I can help you!" Veb offered, "No no, you don't need to." I groaned, "I'm just going to go back to camp."
"Ok, I'm also coming! Hey, do you want to talk about holes?" Veb inched closer towards me, "Sure." I sighed, it seems like he's forgotten already, but I'm fine with it. On our way to camp, we talked about holes and many other things, I felt calm again, but I still couldn't stop my thoughts.
Yo, hey there guys, sorry it took a long time for me to write another chapter, and yes, the plot is moving sorta fast because I'm not writing a 20 parts fanfic, to much for me 😭😭 just a few more chapters and this book is done, please don't think I feel forced to do this, I really love Xolum, it's just that I have so much school work and stuff.
Also, I made a little sketch of the Veb and Xolum interaction (holy shit, Xolum's so hard to draw-)
