We - Ourselves - Us

Home

It was lovely for people to get to see each other again, but eventually everyone had to head back in the directions of the places they called home. It didn't take people long. The reason they always met in the same place, was because it was almost a midpoint for the seven houses, with only Indigo having to go the extra walk. That was fine though. The bluenette loved having time alone almost as much as their loved the group, and so was happy to spend a few extra minutes going over their problems as they went to see the people that mattered to them the most. That was how everyone felt. Whenever they were going out somewhere, they always felt that same warm feeling of love.

Broken almost ran home. She had left her sketchpad open on the porch. This made her smile. She examined the abstract recreation of the baron landscape in front of her. She folded up the small notebook before heading inside. She called out, "I'm home everyone!" As she took of her jacket and put her keys on the table, her call was met with silence. "Well, I live alone. What did I expect?" She asked herself. That was something she had not told everyone in the group. Most the time, the teenager was living alone. Her height and physical appearance made it easy to pass her off as a university student or young adult, so she got away with it. She could never remember where her parents were. It wasn't important to her. If they really loved her, they would still be around. Broken had often considered getting a cat or dog or something to brighten up her home, but instead she just sat alone and sketched. It was something at least.

Meanwhile, a few houses away, Eclipse was lying on the floor of his bedroom, his cyan hair lying messily around his neck. He was texting Mariah, who hadn't gotten back yet, whilst messing around on his laptop. He wasn't as creative as some of the others in the group, but one of his secret passions was voice acting, and he was good at it as well. He did a lot of projects that he donated his voice to. It was something he could do that was unique to him. He hated a lot of things, and one of those things was copying. He despised the people that were almost replicas or him, how they copied him like they were both puppets attached to the same piece of string. It wasn't a good feeling and often left Eclipse feeling dead inside. That was one of the reason he dyed his hair. True, he wasn't the only bluenette in the group, but his color was more green. And anyway, he was cool with Indigo, and they were cool with the idea of him dying his hair as well. Although, Indigo had been dying their hair almost their entire life.

Mariah shut her phone down after a while and carried on walking. She was walking slowly. She was walking home alone now, as she had been with Mirja for a long time and the two needed some time apart. They redhead blushed as they thought about the shy girl she had fallen head over heals for mere weeks ago. It didn't take long for Mariah to arrive back at her home. She was greeted by her half-brother, who was sitting in the kitchen, talking with their father. Mariah awkwardly shuffled upstairs to her bedroom. She may act confident with the people she spent her day to day life with, but the second she got home, she was so easily broken. That was one of the reasons she needed someone to lean on. She took out her phone and closed her eyes before dialing the number. A familiar voice spoke back to Mariah, and she was instantly reassured as Asteroid reassured her after every detail the redhead spoke. He was a good and loyal friend. He was the type of person everyone wished they had. Everyone in the group had turn to him at some point for something. But he could never look after himself. It was slightly adorable.
