[Overwhelming] (Oc + Sally Face)

(4) We'll meet again

{No one's POV}

It was 10:56 am when she went to check on her siblings since they hadn't left the room and with the usual time they'd get up being 6 to 7 AM, She found them laying there infront of a laptop which belonged to cal and was shut off while the two were sleeping infront of it, She sighed before closing the laptop and placing it on the desk before heading back to the kitchen to cook breakfast then a knock on the door was heard

She went over to answer it and was greeted by a boy who was a bit short with blue hair tied in pigtails with a odd looking mask, "Oh hello, Who may you be?" She said in a soft tone despite looking like she's been lacking 3 days of sleep (which she has) and having a cranky sour expression, "Hi, You're new here right? I'm sal fisher, I just live next door" The boy introduced himself to her, "Nice to meet you sal, I'm Xandra Verxon-" she spoke before hearing a loud slam inside the house, she immediately shut the door and went to investigate, And to her relief it was just her brother, calian, accidentally slamming the door shut, "Cal, Don't do that, Vic's still sleeping"

She went back to cooking breakfast before remembering about sal, "And by the way, There's this kid named sal fisher that went to our door earlier, Maybe you'd like to go meet them" she added, cal looked at her blankly before sitting down and resting his head on the table sleepily, "Maybe later" he muffled out, "alright, But make sure to say hi to the other kids in the building, Maybe even make a few friends" she said in a motherly-like voice tone, "Damn, You sound like a mother and I'm not a 'kid' I'm just 3 years younger than you" he looked up and spoke, "And you sound like a disobedient child" she replied, "Because I am, Anyways Ima go chat with my friend" he walked off to the room to unplug his phone from the charger
She watched as he entered the room and rolled her eyes and continued to cook breakfast

After that, Xandra left for work and told calian he's responsible for the place until she gets back

[Calian's POV]

Not gonna lie, Sal was a pretty cool person, Despite the prosthetic mask and oddly colored natural hair of course, And we were in the elevator on the way to meet his friend 'larry', which is the aftermath of me asking sal who the dude he was talking to through a walkie-talkie was and a few things I kind of know about "larry" is that he's tall, has long hair and likes metal and lives in the basment floor according to sal, well he sounds like a cool dude, My thoughts were abruptly stopped by the elevator stopping causing me to lose a bit of balance

The elevator dinged "We're here" he spoke softly as the elevator doors opened and walked out, The place had grey walls, as a basement would and a vending machine near a door that sal went in, I followed suit and noticing how big the place was, well to me it was big, then he walked up to a door with a sign saying "stay out" and opened the door and being greeted by some dude with a raspy voice that sounds like he just hit puberty

"This is t-" "Oh hey lian, Sal has told me a few stuf--" Sal immediately shushed him, Which was a bit weird, Considering I didn't tell sal anything else other than my name, I shrugged it off and spoke sheepishly; "You're larry, Right?" I was trying my best not to start scratching at my arm and the jacket I was wearing helped prevent me from doing it, "Yup, Also, Is your hair naturally that color? Like sal's?" He asked, "Nah, I colored it" I only noticed I was tense and relaxed myself so I don't start stuttering or have my voice crack, I let out a breath that I didn't even know I was holding, I sighed, "Um.. Sorry if I seem a bit awkward, I don't usually talk to people often.. Except for my siblings" I started fiddling with the zipper on my jacket, there was a bit of a silence until larry spoke up "Have you met my mom upstairs by the way?" He said in an almost enthusiastic tone, "No, I haven't,, Where is she though? Maybe I can greet her when I get back upstairs"

"Is that sanity's fall?" I spoke upon seeing his shirt, "Yeah, Do you listen to them too?" He exclaimed, "I have, A few times", He then proceeded to talk about the band and show me one of their songs
"So.. Do y'all have siblings?" I asked out of the blue, "No" "nope" they both answered, "Oh damn, how's it like?" "I dunno, Cool? What's it like to have siblings though" "Problematic, I have an older sister and a younger brother, Both of which got more attention from our parents back then" I casually stated
"We're both an only child, I have a mom, he has a dad, Just those" sal seemed a bit uncomfortable "Oh, are you brothers?" "No" It took me a while to get what they meant and remember what he said about both of them being only children, "Oh, I'm so sorry" I apologized, "I also noticed only you and your siblings were the only ones that were being out in the building, Something wrong about your parents?"
...

"I don't have 'em, they died about nearly a year ago, I'm not too bothered" I hastily replied before they can respond, "well.. anyways, What're y'all's sexualities?" I said with a bit of hesitation, "Bisexual, I think" "what he said" sal and larry answered, "Oh cool, I'm gay, I don't know if it counts if I'm trans though"
"You're trans?", " Trans-parent" I jokingly answered, "Just kidding, Transman, but biological fem, All that confusing shit" I said before I got a notif from my brother

It read;
'Where are you? I've been walking aimlessly everywhere;-;'

I replied with 'I just went to explore the building, Go back to the apartment, I'll meet up with you' in which he replied with a simple "ok"

"Who texted?" Sal asked, "Just my brother, he's been looking for me, I'll go check on him if anything's wrong" I said before getting up, "Also, Which room do you live in?" Larry asked then sal fell silent, but I answered him, "room 403" I said before walking to the door and leave, But it seemed odd, They became quiet when I answered but I just shrugged it off and rushed to the elevator to get to our floor

"Alright, What's up?" I said upon opening the door, "Where's xandra?" I looked around and saw no sign of her, "She's working, Idk what job but I don't want to ask, She's probably busy" he said while sitting on the couch while scrolling on his phone, "And why did you go looking for me?" I asked with a slightly annoyed tone, "I just wanted to know where you were" he replied without even looking at me, I walked into the bathroom and sat on the floor with my knees to my chest and burrowing my head on them with my hood up,'this feels so cringe but it's comforting' I spent a few minutes there before deciding to get up and head to me and my brother's room, I hung up stuff like fanmade-posters that I made for my favorite games and shows/series as well as putting a few pins and stickers, I then sat on the mattress and took my sketchpad then started sketching random stuff that came to my head
