Chapter 14

1:00 a.m.

it was 1:00 in the morning, and sleep had so sign of coming.

you didn't mind, though, as scrolling through social media with soft music playing was calming at this hour.

until the phone buzzed, nearly making you jump out of your own skin.

"jeezus," you breathed, a laugh in the form of a harder line of air escaping your nose being heard at the unneeded jumpy-ness.

clicking on the notification, the chat you entered was one with Sora, her goofy profile picture being displayed on top.

Sora
heyy, u awake?

Vera
yeah, what's up?

Sora
me and Riku are outside ur house.. come outttt

sighing at the request, you informed her you'd be a second and hopped out of bed, the cold air hitting immediately as the covers were thrown off.

Sora and Riku, the twins, would do this from time to time.

they had a just as messed up sleep schedule as you did, and often used that to their advantage.

hustling around the room, you put on a pair of baggy jeans and a tube top, mostly covered by an oversized zip up.

on top of that you still had jewelry on, so that part was done.

as quietly as possible, you opened the bedroom door, stepping out and slowly closing it, turning the knob gradually as to not make a sound.

getting downstairs was always a challenge; the wooden boards creaked under any weight, but with your experience in sneaking out, you had memorized the less noisy spots and stepped only on them, eventually reaching the front door.

holding your shoes in one hand, you gently unlocked the door and opened it, to be met with the twins who grinned widely at your presence.

Riku was about to greet you, but Sora nudged his side to keep him from talking.

you shut the door behind you, not bothering to lock it as that would only be more work for you when the outing was over.

sitting on the ground in front of the other teo, you slipped on your shoes and stood up again, smiling from the green-eyed shorter girl up to her black-haired brother.

Riku had a beanie on that covered his buzz cut, wearing slightly baggy grey pants and a crew neck sweater.

Sora had sweatpants on and a black long sleeve crop top, her dark choppy hair blending into the night sky.

walking a block away, it was silent between the three of you as to not wake up Itsuki or your mom.

your mom probably wouldn't mind if you snuck out; she didn't care much about anything else you did.

still, it was best to not test the waters and do it without her permission.

Itsuki, on the other hand, would go full on big brother mode and not let you out of the house, so sneaking away from him was the only way to leave at this time of night.

once a few minutes of not talking passed, Riku tried to whisper but miserably failed. he was never good at volume control, but luckily you were far enough away from your house that it wouldn't matter either way.

"can we talk now?" he asked hesitantly, Sora shushing him loudly.

chuckling airily, you nodded and spoke up yourself.

"yeah, we're far enough away." they both nodded, and you continued. "so, any plan of where we're going?"

your group of three looked to each other, the planning of sneaking out not going that far into consideration.
