Colors Of Fate

Nix stood in the elevator, He enjoyed the night so far, he honestly didn't think he'd enjoy going to the underground, since he didn't like the front part when he came down here with his friend Terrence. Nix also really likes Cash's friends, River was a bit intense, but she seemed fun, and Myah was adorable and affectionate. He doesn't know how he feels about Dallas yet since they haven't talked yet. Nix glances at Myah and River who are holding hands, Myah is clinging to River, and they're whispering and giggling with each other, it's cute, how those two are. Nix glanced at Dallas who was standing beside him, leaning against the wall. Nix's eyes travel down to a bracelet he recognizes the colors and symbols from an anime he watches.

Nix became excited. He rarely meets someone who watches the same things he does. He feels his nerdy side is about to burst. Without thinking Nix grabbed Dallas's wrist. "Bro, this is my favorite anime."

Dallas glanced at Nix for a few moments. "Really?"  Dallas shows interest in a conversation for the first time tonight.

"Yeah! Dude, have you read the manga?" Nix asked.

"I have yeah, I haven't finished the anime all the way through, but I've read the manga," Dallas says.

Nix felt giddy. "I have the whole set or well I used to... I had to sell them to make money." He chuckles. "I wasn't able to read them all."

"You can borrow mine," Dallas says with a shrug. He still had that calm expression on his face.

Nix's eyes widen. "For real?"

Dallas shrugs. "Yeah, I'll drop them off at Cash's place."

Nix was basically bouncing in his shoes. "What other manga do you have?"

"I have a lot... I can't name them all–"

"Hey! Let's exchange numbers! You can text me what you have later." Nix says.

Dallas seemed thrown off by how excited Nix was. He just nods. "Uh, sure."

Myah giggles as she looks up at River. "Dallas just gained a best friend."

River chuckles. "Oh, Cash would be thrilled about that." She says sarcastically.

They exited the elevator, Nix looked amazed at how big the casino looked, he'd never been in a casino before, and this was so cool, Nix looked around eyes widened. "This is a casino?"

"You have never been in a casino?" Dallas asked walking beside Nix.

"No, I actually have never really been in a place like this," Nix says eyes are glued to everything.

"This is your first time in the underground city?" Dallas asks.

"Yeah, I've been near the front of the city, but that's it," Nix says. "I didn't know they had all of this."

"They have a lot of shit here," Dallas says.

Nix was amazed by it all, this was really cool to him, Nix followed the girls and Dallas further into the casino. "So, Cash likes to brag about how good he is at fighting. Is he good?"

Dallas chuckles. "Yeah, he's good."

"He's never been knocked down before," Myah says turning around, she starts to walk backward as she speaks. "Fighting is what he's best at."

"Fighting and hunting," River says.

"I've seen him kill a few monsters when we first met," Nix says. "I could tell he's done it for a while."

"He said you killed a few as well. Do you hunt monsters for money or something?" River asked.

"My dad used to be a monster hunter before..."Nix paused; he didn't want to speak about his brother's death. "Before he quit. So, he used to teach me, my little brother and my sister how to defend ourselves from them."
