Uranus Alone

URANUS IS HEADING TO THE SUN?!?!?!??!!?

------

It's late.

Uranus leans back into the sofa, his eyes glued to the front door. It's been hours on hours since Miranda, Ariel and Oberon came back.

Where is Neptune?

The Aussie takes a heavy breath, sinking down into the couch some more. Maybe Neptune was staying out late again; he tended to do that due to his lack of memory. Uranus furrowed his brows, thinking hard. Neptune must've remembered what he told him. He always remembers what he tells him.

They'd grit their teeth, darting their eyes to a digital clock, eyeing the time and how late it was. '10:40 P.M.' Uranus read in his mind, his anticipation and worry increasing. "Where the hell is he.." He pondered aloud, finally grasping a hold of his cane, standing up. He got a steady stance, making his way to the telephone implanted to the wall. Uranus would press his digits against the buttons, pressing the phone to his ear, adjusting his glasses.

The phone would ring out, the buzz irritating the cyan haired man, his jaw clenched together. The sound only increased as the person he was dialing didn't pick up, resulting in Ura' ringing them three more times. This time, the other line picked up, starting with a heavy yawn.

"...Hello...?"

Uranus let out a breath, leaning against the wall. "Sorry to bother you so late, Saturn." He began, wondering how he should word what he exactly wanted. "I wanna ask you somethin.'"

Another yawn escaped Saturn's mouth, followed by a hum. "It's fine, dear.." They cleared their throat. "What did you need?"

The Aussie seethes, glancing at the front door again. "Can you help me search for Neptune? He went out earlier today and hasn't come back since, I'm getting pretty worried." Uranus admitted, his forehead wrinkling as he furrowed his brows, fret coursing through his veins.

A hum was heard over the phone. "It's pretty late, are you sure?"

Uranus gulped, nodding though Saturn couldn't see. "Yes," He'd reply. "I'm sure, mate." They confirm, tightening their grip on the phone.

Saturn sighs. "Alright," Shuffling is heard. "Meet me at mines, I'm gonna put on something.."

Uranus feels the corner of his lips curl upwards as he hears Saturn agree, making his face brighten. "Okay, okay, thanks, mate." He leaned off the wall, pressing his hand into his cane, steadying himself. "I'll see you soon, then." He heard Saturn say something incoherently, possibly the drowsiness getting to him. Uranus cleared his throat, hanging up the telephone, strutting through the house towards the front door, struggling to unlock it.

He slipped on some slippers, fuming with the lock once more before stepping outside, being met with the summer breeze of the night. He Shivers, hugging himself. Uranus looked around, spotting Saturn's house not too far from his, considering they were neighbors. The man grumbled, not fond of walking long distances; however he was doing this for Neptune. His cousin. He'd better get used to walking.

They took their first few steps, immediately regretting the decision he chose to make. Sure, he might've been walking for Neptune but-

"Ugh, my back.." He whined, clutching his cane tightly. Uranus heaved, his cane clacking against the pavement as he walked. It was quiet, the sounds of Uranus' squeaky slippers and his walking stick being the only noise he heard. After a few more minutes of walking towards Saturn's house, Uranus could see the man step out through a gate, brushing a hand through his long silky hair, moving it behind his shoulder, yawning.
