Chapter 4.

Ruin's POV:
  I left to my room. I felt kind of bad for Solar. 'He does like me... He left before I could tell him that I like him back because he thought I was gonna reject him...' I got dressed and left for work. I saw Solar on the way and run up to him. "Hey, Solar! Feeling ok?" He nods and it seems like he doesn't want to talk to me. I look down and walk ahead, giving him the space he needs.
  After we arrive, I'm called into the bosses office. I quickly get there and say, "You needed me?"  He replies, "Yes, you are promoted too theater assistant.". My eyes light up knowing I'm going to be working with Solar. ". . . Thank you, sir!" He gives me my new name tag and I put it on.
  I race to the theater with only 5 minutes till opening. I see Solar behind the counter and I wave. "What are you doing here?" He asks me. "The boss promoted me to theater assistant!" His eyes go wide then he turns away. I look down, "I guess I will guide people to their seats..."
  The work day is slow and it's an all adult day. Many who come in are drunk and try hitting on me saying I'm CuTe or SpIcY. I ignore it. One guy walks up to me and he reeks of alcohol. Before I can say anything, he pins me to a wall with him hands above my head.
  I panic. Unsure of what to do. He soon starts to kiss and suck on my neck which makes me tense up. I try to call for help but my voice doesn't work. Finally I manage to scream out the only thing I could think of, "SOLAR, HELP!!!" I hear footsteps then I see his face.
  Solar's expression darkens when he sees the man and he pushes him down. Solar stand in front of me protector and the man tries fighting him. Unsure of what to do, I stand behind Solar shaking like a short haired dog in winter.
  Security shows up and the man is pulled out the theater. Solar turns to me, "are you ok, Ruin?" I nod, unable to say anything at all. He pulls me close and my face heats up."th-thank you, Solar..." He looks down at me, "anytime, Ruin!"
  I stay near him the rest of the slow day because I now feel an odd yet comforting presence around him. He doesn't look at me much, which I'm a little sad about. The day is long, boring, and cold. I stay away from everyone and is scared to get close to the people.
  The work day finally ends and I'm gathering my stuff. "I'm going too clock out" we say in unison. I laugh a little and he smiles as we walk together home. I'm debating on telling him or not. I really want too. "Solar?"
  I finally get his attention, he was in like a trance or something. "Yeah?" I sigh, "I know you're afraid of rejection." He looks away, "i am..." I grab his hand, "I like you too, really I do" he looks surprised then happy. "C-can I kiss you?" I nod. He presses his lips to mine in the softest but sweetest kiss in the world.
