Our first words -Zanvis

03

After Travis and Aph ate their cake, Aph texted a mysterious person to help make a plan for Travis and Zane to hang out. Aphmau, however refused to tell Travis who this person was so he had to just sit and wait in anticipation. About ten minutes passed before there was a knock at the door and a familiar voice calling to Aphmau.

"Aphmau I'm here, and I brought Vylad!" Garroth said banging on the door. Actually thinking about it Travis understood why she called Garroth. Who would know Zane better then his brother? It was a plus that Vylad came along. As soon as the two were inside, Garroth raced over to the couch where Travis was to say how happy he was that someone had finally taken interest in Zane.  

Maggie: it's a bit worrisome how similar Garroth and Zianna are
Vylad: next thing you know, Garroth's making Beyoncé jokes
Laurence: Oh he gunna be puttin' a ring on this single lady, if  y'know what I mean
Maggie: the apocalypse has already begun...

The four friends continued to talk until Aph noticed that she was still in her pjs, so she went to change. When Aphmau left the room became quiet and eerie, in a sense. Travis was going to make small talk with the Ro'Meave brothers but he stopped himself when seeing the expressions on their faces. It just made everything all the more scary.

"Let's get one thing straight" Garroth said in a low tone.

Maggie: not me!

"If you hurt our brother in any way you might not be alive the next day"

Maggie: oh hey! That rhymed!
Zane: Don't!

The white haired boy whimpered and nodded frantically. The two brother that flashed joyful smiles to Travis like children.

"Good" they said in sync.

Aphmau came back down shortly after in her regular attire. As they began to make plans and talked about Zane, Travis hid behind his not alone buddy, still afraid of the two Ro'meave's. When the sky started to darken everyone went to their homes. Travis still had his doubts about the words and if they really did belong to Zane but he was willing to test the theory. Now the problem was actually getting close to Zane.

Maggie: his fate is in my hands.
Travis: that explains why almost everyone is gay
Maggie: it must be a pan resisting all those hawt guys~ ^-^
Travis: please no •~•

As soon as Travis got home he ate something, had a shower, and went to bed. As everyone peacefully slept away, Zane sat in bed staring at the words on his leg. With every moment that went by he became more and more annoyed. Zane did eventually fall asleep but he was still really irritated by the words.
--------------
It was the afternoon of the next day when Zane got a knock at the door of his room. He lazily got off of his bed, which he was laying on while going through Twitter and opened the door to his best friend. Before he could even greet her, she grabbed his wrist and bolted out of the house. They arrived at their destination after a while of running, which was the mall of all places. Both of them were slouched over, in front of the store, panting for air when Zane had finally managed to ask what was going on. Aphmau only said she wanted cupcakes before dragging Zane into the mall. Once they entered the cupcake store the plan had begun for Zane and Travis to hang out.

You see, that morning, when Travis was about to go to ask Zane if he wanted to hang out, Garroth and Aphmau had appeared at his door step. The two had planned out what was going to happen that day. Even though Travis wanted to try and do this on his own he didn't want to say no to Garroth, since he was still quite scared from the night before. And now fellow readers, you shall see how this plays out.

"Zane! I have to go! I think Macy's is having a sale!" Aphmau shouted and ran off. Zane stood there for a moment, staring into blank space until there was a tap on his shoulder.

"Hi Zane" Travis said nervously. Zane responded with a plain hello and slightly tugged up his mask. The white haired male scratched the back of his head before offering to buy a cupcake him, which Zane gladly accepted. After getting a cupcake each, they sat down at one of the small tables the store offered. The two made small talk between each other about whatever came up and soon enough it was a conversation. It might have been because of that night at the party when they just talked to each other, but there weren't as many awkward moments Travis thought there would be.

Once while Travis was talking, Zane had pulled his mask down to take a bite from his cupcake, but quickly put it back up once he realized Travis was watching. Travis noticed Zane's uncomfortable body language.

"I-if you want to eat your cupcake I won't watch you" he said turning away.

"Thanks, but I think I would rather eat it at home anyways" Zane responded. Travis took this as a hint and decided to walk Zane home. The walk home was silent but neither of them minded. Every so often Travis would look at Zane and was reminded his freckles and rosy cheeks and the way he played with the sleeves of his sweater multiple times while they talked.  Even if Zane wasn't the one, Travis still observed the little details anyone else would have brushed off.

Zane was really something special.
