POUND POV

I step into the meeting room, gazing around until I spot fireball. we give each other a soft smile before i take a seat in my usual place.

It only takes a few minutes for the remaining gods to show up. 

turns out beer keg simply needed to talk to us about the upcoming Sun festival. we all had to take a big role in it so we needed to go back over it again.

~˚. TIME SKIP: 8:07PM

we all stand up to go our seperate ways. as i walk toward the archway, leading out to the main castle where all the gods resided, i feel someone grab my hand.

i turn my head, it was fireball. he had a soft look on his face. "ah- what do you need?" i ask softly, turning my body to him with a soft smile. 

"uh- i kind of just wanted to talk.." he says with a nervous smile, gazing away. "about what?" i ask, tilting my head.

"anything really.. i just.. enjoyed our talk last night." he says with a soft laugh. 

I feel a soft blush on my face as i look at his smile and laugh. i snap out of it before chuckling, "sure. i'm always up to chat." i say with a soft smile.

he takes my hand again and we walk into the gardens that weave around the meeting hall. we sit down in the centre of the gardens, a patch of soft, green grass.

in my mind, it still feels like yesterday that we were more than friends. that we were partners in battle and so much more.

it.. hurts.. that he doesn't remember. if he did, we'd be so much more by now. i brush away the feelings for now, smiling at him as he talks.

we talk for.. forever. we smile and laugh and talk. it feels like it used to be. 

finally, i hear words i never thought i'd hear..

"i feel like.. we knew each other before this?" he mumbles, gazing away from the stars and to me now. i feel my stomach drop but before i can speak he cuts me off, 

"i-it's dumb i know. i just have this odd sense of  deja'vu when i talk to you." he says with a chuckle.

i gaze away. "i mean.. i have a similar feeling.. but it's probably nothing." i say with a soft smile. i don't want to just.. you know..

trauma AND info dump on him when he still doesn't know that he knows me!? from his perspective, we've been friends for like- 38 hours! 

i don't just want to drop that on him! i'd look like a crazy person!

he laughs softly, "maybe we knew each other in a past life if we're getting the same familiarity." he says with a soft smile.

i force a laugh, but it's not obvious, "maybe so fireboy." i say with a soft smile, gently punching his arm.

he laughs, "oh are we nicknaming each other now?" he says with a grin, raising an eyebrow.

"what?" i say with a soft laugh, "don't like fireboy?~" i say with a grin.

"don't you try me moneyboy!" 

i fall back laughing, the moon rolling overhead and casting light over our bodies.

we stay talking for hours before inevitably falling asleep on each other again. 

maybe.. he will remember. and we can go back to before..
