Skates to Love~

Chapter 1

The night was brutal on Xilonen. Kachina never returned from school, the thought haunted her, that she might be- that she possibly- maybe..?

She was tossing and turning all night, trying to fall asleep but was so- vulnerable. But at the same time, rage was fuming in her head. She couldn't help thinking that the Abyss was involved in this. She was terrified, so she called Chasca.

Ring Ring, Ring Ring. The sound came out of Chasca's phone. It was 2 am, who could possibly be calling at this time? She groggily picked the device up to her ear, as she flinched at Xilonen's anxious voice: she was practically yelling. "Chasca? CHASCA" Xilonen said, as Chasca replied. "W-Wha? Who is this-" "IT'S XILONEN" "Fine-" she replied, groggily. "Why in Teyvat are you calling at dawn- also, why are we calling?" Chasca says, as she opens Xilonen's bedroom door, taking in the full sight. The pajamas, bags under her eyes, and the twitching of Xilonen's ears made Chasca slightly worried. As she walks over to her fatigued roommate, Xilonen feels a soft hand on her shoulder. "You need some sleep" Chasca finally says, as Xilonen sighs. "Let's talk about this tomorrow- alright?" She says, putting her sleepy hand on Xilonens shoulder. She only got a nod.

Next morning

Chasca woke up, next to Xilonen. Her snoring probably audible from the other side of campus- it's quite obvious college life has taken a toll on her. Chasca went to the small kitchen area, happily eating a banana. Xilonen finally wakes up, dresses, and heads to Chasca, holding a bunch of books in her hand, math and whatnot. "Morning Chasca" She says, still half asleep. "I need to do homework- I didn't have any time". She stated, yawning as she finishes all in under 15 minutes- obviously a genius in disguise. "Xilonen, I don't understand why you don't apply for higher classes-" Chasca says, being cut off. "We talked about this already. You know why" She says, obviously hinting on Kachina. "I- I still don't know if she's okay! And I hate to admit it, but I'm worried Chasca. I'm scared" Xilonen says, pouring some cereal for herself. "I know- but-" Chasca says, as gasp escaped her lips- they were both late for class.
