As soon as Nikky found the boy, he sat infront of him. "Hey." He says, waiting to see the other boy's reaction. The other boy slowly stops his tracks before slowly looking up, making eye contact with Nikky. "..Hi??" He says in reply, his tone of voice a little rude. But, Nikky didn't seem to be pissed, somehow. "How are you? Tonight seems like a pretty clear night, huh?" He says, trying to strike up a sudden conversation, clearly wanting to know about the boy slightly more. "The hell is that supposed to mean?" The boy asks before shaking his head and huffing out a sigh in slight annoyance due to this sudden encounter. Seems like he wanted to have a peaceful night, not whatever this .... was. "Whatever- Um. Ive been .. okay I guess. You?" He muttered out. "Me?" Nikky says. "Ive been doing great, just wandering around the blocks for the night. Y'know??" "Um .. yeah.. cool.." The boy says in reply before Nikky spoke up. "What's this?" He gestures to the boy's little book, which was a journal of course. "Um. It's none of your damn business." He scoffed. Nikky sighed, tilting his head down slightly before looking back up. "Hey, I genuinely do wanna know." He said, in a soft tone. The boy quietly sucks his own teeth before sighing. "My journal, okay? I just like to write down thoughts or things related to my life. There, boom." He spoke. Nikky nods slowly and lets out a soft "mmm." while listening. "Ah, I see. Well, what's your name?" "..Al." "Al.." Nikky says to himself softly. "I like it, has a nice ring to it. Im Nikky." "Nice to meet you, I guess." Al muttered, while Nikky's friends from the table across the room were laughing loudly and calling Nikky over like "Nikky! Come!" "Nikky come over here!" and such. Al's eyes slowly trailed off to the right before slowly looking back at Nikky. "Are those your little friends back there??" Nikky chuckled softly, he was quite fond of Al despite him having a bitchy demeanor. "A bit feisty, aren't you? You must be always like that.." Nikky muttered to himself, dedicating to Al before actually speaking up to Al. "Yup, they are. Sorry about that, they're a bit loud." Nikky says, clearly ignoring his friends. "Why are you still here? They're CLEARLY calling you over so, go to them." "Ah, They can wait... I wanna speak to you first." Al sighed, not even noticing the way Nikky was looking at him. "Why can't you just bring me with you then?- Actually- No. Just go." "Hm? Take you with me? That doesn't seem bad.." Nikky says before standing up, lending his hand out for Al to grab. "You bring your things with you, if you wish." He says as Al's soft hand gently grabs onto his own, lifting him out his chair. "..Or want me to hold them for you?" "Don't be ridiculous." Al says. Seems like he's an independent guy. "I insist, really." Nikky spoke, he seemed genuine. "Whatever, fine. Take my shit." He mumbled, packing his things up in his small bag before zipping it up and handing it to Nikky. Nikky slings it over his shoulders before leading Al to the table where Nikky and his
friends were.
