Fun fact: My favorite character in this is actually Knell. Silas just gets more attention because he is the easiest to write.

(F/B/G) - Favorite book genre

You were glad to finally have quality time with another person, it's been so long since you have. All of your interactions have mostly been short or work related, so it's nice to get away from all of that. You didn't know Ambrose well, but he seemed nice enough. 

     You walk down the gravel path of the church, and you see Knell walk out. He gave you a confused look but then smiled, "(Y/N)! It's nice to see you. What are you doing here? You don't work today if I remember correctly. Of course, I don't mind when you visit, you should be here more, actually." "Oh, I'm here for-" The door slammed open, causing you to jump. Out came Ambrose, who grinned when he saw you. "(Y/N)!!! There you are! Let's get going- Oh, where do you wanna go first? We can go get something to eat, my treat! :)" What you weren't expecting was for him to pull you into a hug. Despite his weaker build his hold on you was strong, a bit too strong. You held back a wince, "Aha.. it's up to you, you were the one to make plans, after all."

     Knell quickly grabbed onto the back of Ambrose's shirt and harshly yanked him off of you. He was still smiling, but this one felt more.. malicious. "Oh? Ambrose you're hanging out with (Y/N) today? How... nice." Ambrose didn't get the hint that Knell didn't actually find it nice at all, "Haha, I know right?! We gotta get going, though. Seeya, Knell! Oh, and tell Silas I said bye as well. Bye-bye!!", he grabbed onto your hand and pulled you along, leaving behind a very unhappy Knell.

     For the first time in months, you stepped foot into Maryanne's diner. Unlike last time, it was quieter, only three other customers were eating. "Ambrose, hello! And this time you brought a friend, how wonderful! Wait- it's you, yes I recognize you! Chose to stay in our sleepy little town huh? Well I welcome you fully, dear. Have a seat wherever you like, I'll take your order shortly." 

     Ambrose tugged you along to the booth in the far back. As she said, Maryanne took both of your orders and left after that.  Ambrose still has not let your hand go and it seemed that he had no intention to, his grasp firm. Were you going to ask him to let go or pull away? ...No. He held his cheek with his other hand, holding his head up. Having time to look closer at his face, you realized that there was an increase of Hello Kitty band-aids. What does he do to get this injured? Was he that clumsy?

     "Besides doing errands, what else do you like to do with your time?" You weren't sure where this question was coming from, but you answered nonetheless, "Ah.. not much, actually. Sometimes they have one dollar books at the convenience store, I read those." "Oh? What genre?" "(F/B/G), er, what books do you like to read?" Is this how communicating worked?? You weren't sure. "I like romance books the best! I like to picture me and yo- ah!  Haha, what I meant to say was, I like picture me and the person I like in the scenarios in the writing. Very fun when you have nothing else to do- and when you get jealous at Silas for harassing your future lover every day of the week.." "I'm sorry, what was that last part? I didn't quite catch that." "Don't worry about it, just talking to myself"

     Ambrose started to ask you a set of questions, so many that you barely got to ask him any. It was honestly overwhelming.

"What's your favorite color?"

"Favorite food?"

"If you had any pet in the world what would it be?"

"Do you like Hello Kitty?"

"Favorite candy?"

"Will you ever leave me?"

"...Huh?" 

     "You heard me. Will you ever leave me?", he stopped smiling. It was an unsettling sight, his now dull eyes staring right back into yours. "Yes- I heard you but I'm not sure what you mean by that." "I think it's perfectly understandable. Will you abandon me? Leave me to rot like the others? They used to give me so so much attention, I used to be part of the group. Their friend. But not anymore. But that's ok, some things change over time. But you won't, right? You're nice, kind, wonderful. You're better then them. But I just wanted to make sure. You- you will not leave, correct?"

You shakily nodded your head, "Yeah.. yeah I'm here to stay."

"Haha, perfect! Because, well, I wasn't planning on letting you leave anyways."

Is anyone interested in more drawings of the characters I made?

Also, in a few chapters ago I mistyped. Valerie is 5'8, not 4'8. I have a thing where I confuse numbers a lot and mix them up by mistake. Sorry!
