Look, I know that the adorable romance between Mirja and Mariah is completely worth it's own ten chapters, but I am just a narrator. And there were some important plot points coming up that I can't skip out on. I mean really, what would you rather? A cliche shy dork? Or someone dead dying inside?OK but seriously, you don't get a choice. We are taking the sad route. Have you ever read a high school book? Something bad is about to go down.
Eclipse was walking home alone, but not to his house. He was headed off to Indigo's house, as that was where he was staying. He walked home alone because Indigo had got a job they needed to do and they needed the alone time. That, he could understand. He was the type of person that was normally alone, but not so alone he felt lonely and like there was nothing he could do. Indigo, on the other hand, was often swarmed with people that were trying to do their best, but couldn't appreciate the young adult's own needs for independence. Indigo often found themselves wondering if they were better off without the family they had once known. Maybe that was just as they had had bad history with family. Whatever it was, it meant that they were not comfortable if people tried to have a relationship with someone that wasn't a friend. That wasn't true. They would never admit it, but after their breakup with their girlfriend, Indigo had been a little saddened. True, Indigo was laid back and it was sometimes hard to tell what they were thinking about, but they had truly loved her. But she had cheated on them, and she used them. Indigo was one of the kids that everyone knew, and they were the only agender person. True, there were a few other Pansexuals, but they were all what people called 'normal'. Indigo hated that. Had been quoted on multiple times saying, "If you can't get used to me breaking the 'rules' I will be breaking your legs as well." This was a sort of joke, but no one really knew it. Indigo had actually broken someones legs when they still lived in they old home. They had told the group, but everyone else thought they were like a rabid animal.
Eclipse arrived back and was greeted by Elizabeth, walking between his legs. She was a lovely cat that was not like others. She was never afraid to walk up to you and let you hug her. She was small and gorgeous. Eclipse picked her up and sat down on the sofa, the small cat in his lap. He hadn't got any homework so he could just rest. The blue haired boy closed his eyes and was starting to drift off into sleep. He hadn't been sleeping well.
"Hey! I am home!" Indigo smiled, but was greeted by a tired grunt. They found this sweet. Elizabeth was sitting, curled up on Eclipse's chest in the living room. They were both fast asleep. Indigo sighed and dumped their bag in the kitchen. They took off their baggy, grey hoodie, showing off a white t shirt with the words ' Everything's fine ' written across it. They were tired and it was warm in their house. They sat down in the armchair and waited for Eclipse to wake up. They needed to talk to him. It wasn't too important, but it was something that had been bothering them for a while.
After a while, the male bluenette was awoken by a hungry, impatient cat jumping off him. He was so confused when he woke up. It was quite humorous to watch as he half fell off the sofa, because of a cat. A small, black, loving cat had sent an almost adult into a confused panic. He managed to laugh though. He looked up at Indigo through his blue bangs and smiled, "Hey. You all know how I am a graceful swan." That was when he noticed their outfit, "Is there a reason that everything is alright for you?"
"Yeah. Read the t shirt. Everything is fine. I am fine. It's all fine." Indigo lied, their voice as emotionless and calm as it always was.
