ERASED

Friendships?

Time: 6:47 Pm
Date: April 26
Year: 2025

Once they entered, they went their separate ways trying out some of my gadgets and looking for something far more better
Like a child at a mall.

I saw Andre looking at my fire resistant gaunlet.

I was surprised that Andre knew it was fire resistant.
There was no label saying it was fire resistant nor does it have Information labeled.

I came near Andre, his presence was overwhelming
Something like superman kind, smart, strong but dangerous at the same time.
I gathered all my courage to come near and speak, after all I don't talk much.

" Ah, nice choice of gaunlets
Created from chromel, able
To withstand 1100 °C, 90%
Nickel."

He looked at me and it was clear he didn't understand.

"Sorry, what I meant was you can have it if you want."

He looked at me and the sudden pressure was gone
His eyes calm and brown
But firm and fierce at the same time

"Thanks, and how much is
1100 °C."

"To be exact as hot as Hawaaian basalt lava."

He opened the glass to grab the pair of gauntlets and left
To look for more stuff.

This time it was Nathan that was looking at sabatons
I wasn't sure if I wanted to come near him, well of course because of what happened. But he suddenly
Came near me, his speed is amazing I didn't even notice him.

"Yo, you got anything for the
Legs, something strong but light at the same time."

Thats..... Actually a good choice, well I guess by improving his speed he has to look for the right things too, I guess.

"Yeah... Sure follow me."

We passed through Andrea while getting to our designated area, well I guess
Even Andrea has tastes on weapons too considering that she's a smart girl.

"Here we go, the base of this is mostly composed of graphene and at the bottom we have microlattice put on the bottom."

"And what does that mean?"

" graphene is bulletproof
While micro lattice is 99.99%
Air able to touch a dandelion
Without harming it but strong."

It was one of the greatest things I created in my entire
Career but since I almost injected him with cyanide along with the entire group
I guess I could make an exception.

"Damn, can I take these, is it fine with you I mean its fine if you don't want to."

"I wouldn't have showed if I didn't want you to have it would I now?"

He came dashing around like a trapped tiger finally freed.
He thanked me for it and that he'd take good care of it and left immediately. I gave off a small smile while watching him leaving.
I guess, I should socialize more often. It really feels great knowing that they might consider you as an ally, I don't think I can be called a friend just yet.

I remembered that the only reason they were here was to prepare for the expedition
Two days from now. If they fail this mission then- no I shouldn't think that way especially when its about
Other people.

I looked at Hearth and thought what would I feel?
If she were gone? I liked her but I didn't think of it that serious. She was a... Person
That made my heart beat.
Maybe its love? No I am not
Going to think of that ever again, I felt a little mad that
I thought of it, Tch!

I didn't realize that I was already staring too much
My face felt hot.

Nathan put his arm over my
Shoulder looking at me with such a.. Um lewd and sinister face like he knew something about me.

"Sooo..... You have a thing for Hearth aye!"

"What N-no! I wouldn't think such unnecessary things!"

"Ok, ok but I gotta tell you, she likes Andre August *sigh* ok here's some advice
You should talk to her and get in the zone if possible."

"Wait what do you mean by
If possible! Are you saying
I got no chance?"

"Oh, crap I think Andrea needs help, see ya!"

"Wait what did you mean!?"

I turned only to see Hearth a few steps away. What is this feeling it feels funny and pressuring. Its either I go and talk to her but what would the topic be. What do girls like these days, my chances of not getting a cold stare is by 0.001% . Agghh!
What am I thinking?! I scratched my head with both hands. Its decided I'll grab what little chances I have!

I walked up to her staring at a black katana with red lining at the side and tip of the blade.

"That's a normal katana but
More durable and U-um style, my kind of style of course its fine if you don't like the style like i can make it to your taste of you want or I coul-"

"Xavier.... Its fine, black and red colors of the demon I like it. Does it have a name?"

I stared for a while, MY FACE
IS ON FIRE!!! I didn't expect
An answer from her

"Oh um no it doesn't have one, how about you? What would you call it?"

"Akuma No Ken."

"Demon sword, I like it but why?"

"Because demons will laugh at you no matter what, that to me sounds funny. The word angel doesn't apply anymore we have been damned."

She was the first person to actually understand me.

I gave a small smile, she smiled back at me. She took the sword and left.

I got a glimpse of Andrea looking at me and as a response she rolled her eyes.

I tried to talk to her but she denied me as quick as you can say fuck and that's what I said to myself, embarrassing
I know.

It was already 7:00 once we got out, we exchanged goodbyes well everyone except Andrea to me of course. I went back to my room and ate my food
For a while I was thinking of my conversation with hearth
And went to bed.

I felt a new emotion Love?
