There stood a young man.
His platinum hair was messy and medium length, his reddish brown suit was crisp and clean.
He wore black knee high lace up boots and black hand gloves, his left eye was a beautiful red violet color that sparkled with a bit of mischief.
And lastly his elegant black eyepatch that sat over where his right eye used to be.

Joy squealed and tackle hugged the male, who laughed and hugged back.
"Joy! My eyepatch buddy!", the man laughed and spun the girl around.
"Egil! What are you doing here?!", Joy exclaimed, "not that I mind at all! I missed you!"
Egil smiled and closed his good eye, "it's the weekend, so I came to stay at my best friend's place! Plus you have to tell me how your revenge is going!"

Joy laughed and picked up Egil's bag, "come on in.
Egil walked in and Joy playfully swatted his back. "Oh! I did not think we were there yet!", Egil teased, "big brother has been asking about you!"
"Good things I hope.", Joy responded, "otherwise I will have to kick his ass"
Both laughed and caught up, Egil and his 'brothers' had been Joy's friends for a while.
They had met in darkhet (don't judge) high after Joy moved there from her old high school, Egil saw her scars and took a liking to her immediately. It took a few tries before the Icelander could get her to open up, after he did however they became extremely close friends.

The brothers' home became like a second home to Joy and she practically lived there, She even stayed the night a few times after study sessions with the males. Joy became like another one of their family and even helped the males with their day to day activities.
"So how did you off the old man?", Egil asked and Joy pulled out a vial of powder.
"Delayed neurotoxin, the death mimics that of a seizure.", Joy smirked, "good thing you taught me how to be sneaky, those pranks on Thurston taught me a lot."
Egil laughed and pulled out a bottle, "I know you are against alcohol so I got sparkling grape juice."
"Pretend champagne? Hell yeah!", Joy laughed and got out glasses for the 'champagne', "bottoms up!"

"Does Magnus still have that nasty smoking habit?", the Albino girl asked and the Icelandic male smiled.
"Yes, plus Thurston still drinks vodka, Bernard is still a pervert, and Loki still likes to play with matches.", Egil responded while leaning his head onto Joy's shoulder, "and I still easily fall in love."
"And have a hard time letting go.", Joy finished and 'booped' her friend's nose, "but I guess that is why I love you guys, you are all great."
Egil smiled and closed his eye, "I love you too."
"You are my best friends", Joy smiled and Egil felt a twinge in his chest, "I don't know what I would do without you."
Egil felt his cheeks heat up as he realized how close he was to his Female friend, Joy on the other hand was happy to lay there like that as they watched 'Nanbaka' together.

When they finished, they went to bed.
Egil took the guest bedroom and Joy the master bedroom. Joy's old room was locked, its contents too sensitive to be accidentally stumbled upon.
Joy took a shower and changed into her oversized shirt that said 'No coffee no workee' and went to her room. On the way she saw Egil heading to the bathroom without his eyepatch on.
The empty socket a gaping black hole that he was very self-conscious about, "eehhh! J-Joy!"
He quickly covered the socket in embarrassment, "d-don't look!"
Joy removed her friend's hand and kissed the area around the empty space.
"It's okay Egil", Joy said softly, "I don't blame you for being self-conscious of this."

Egil's face became red as the shirt he was wearing, "t-thank you..."
Joy gave him a sweet smile before heading to bed.
Just before she went to sleep she heard Egil's voice, "Good night Joy, I love you."
"I love you too Egil, Goodnight."
"Joy~"

"Yes?"
"Say my name"
"Go to sleep you damn pervy pirate!"
After both laughed the house was filled with the sound of soft snores.
