The Tale of NickTCD

What War?

               We walked to the forest where the hut was. I came in the forest first, Lance followed closely behind me. As we were walking to the hut an awkward silence was between the two of us. I decided to say something so that I wouldn't feel awkward. "So, did ya slept well?" "Huh? Oh, no. I didn't, I've been having nightmare alot lately." He answered honestly. "What type of nightmare?" I asked now getting intrigued with Lance's story. "It is the type that can make you doubt you're sleeping. As if, you were really there. Everything just seems TOO real, the pain, everything basically."

"Yeah, I know that feeling." I said still walking towards the hut. "Just a few more meters before we arrived at the hut. Hey, I know you rarely talk to people but... not EVERYONE is bad. You shouldn't keep your anger to yourself, find a friend, anyone, to talk to. It is a... pleasant feeling. To share your problem with people. Who knows? That person might even understand what you're going through... or been through your problem more." I mumbled the last one as I remembered the day I met Chara.

              We finally arrived at the hut, I opened the door. I turn my head a bit to see a glance of him hiding behind me. Onie greeted me as he heard the door creaked "Yo, bro! How are ya?" "I'm alive to say the least." I winked at Chara who was sitting on the floor near the fire place. She just nodded back. "You guys are getting along better than I thought." Onie said as he turned his gaze towards Chara. Chara just sticks her tongue in response. I chuckled a bit as Onie turn back to me. "I mean we DO have something in common, ain't that right Chara?" "Yeah, yeah. Don't let Onie get any ideas his already been asking if you asked me out." Chara stated. I felt a light blush crawled onto my cheeks. "What the hell, bro? You know what? If I found out you're hanging out with a girl, I'm gonna make you just as annoyed as I am with you." "I'll keep it in mind."

             "Uhm, sorry to interrupt but I'm still back here." Lance said trying to be polite. "Huh? And who are you?" Onie asked while tilting his head slightly. "I'm Nick's 'lil bro." Onie furrowed his eyebrows looking at me seriously.

             "Hey, you brought your cousin, it isn't wrong for me to bring my bro." I stated while grinning. Onie sighed. "Fair enough. So, what's your name?" "The name's Lance." "Lance, huh? Cool."

           I moved to the side and let Onie and Lance have their own conversation. I walked towards Chara and sat beside her. "Why is HE here?" Chara asks, I can tell she was furious when she saw Lance. "He wanted to apologized after what happened back at my home." "You do know his just another rude person that doesn't deserve my forgiveness." She said, obviously was still mad at Lance for being rude. "Hey, you were like him before." "Yes, I WAS, I'm not rude anymore." "At least he wants to apologized, not like you." I mocked her playfully. "That's cruel." After that an awkward tense was between Chara and myself. We just sat there in silence. I could see Onie and Lance still talking in the corner of my eye. "Fine, I'm sorry."Chara said most probably to make the awkwardness go away. "Huh?" I didn't heard her since I was focusing on Onie and Lance's conversation. "Are you deaf?" "No" I answered instantly as she ask the question. "Anyways, I said 'I'm sorry'." "Really, now?" I asked mocking her once again. "Y-yes, I mean I was mean at you while you tried to be kind to me." "I forgive you." "Really?" she said and I stated my demand right after that. "IF. You forgive Lance." "What? No!" She answered. "Then, I don't forgive you." I said calmly. "Peace, I want to join the boys." I said while getting up, wel.. TRIED to get up. Chara quickly hold my hand and pulled me down. My face was now inches apart from hers. A slight blush crawled onto my face once again. I stared into her red eyes, 'She's actually kinda cute when she's angry.' I thought to myself. "I'll... TRY to forgive him, just... don't hate me." "Heh." I chuckled a little. This made her looked at me with a kinda disappointed look. "Hey! I'm being serious but your laughing at me." "Actually, I wasn't laughing at you, I was laughing at myself." She raised her eyebrow at me and looking at me with a confused look.
