Like Gravity/ TinCan

6

Tin was staring at Can in astonishment, he came out of the house to see who had found his nephew but didn't expect it to be him out of all people.

"Uncle! This is Can he's the one who found me!" Tin was about to say something to Can but a hand snaked around his waist, Cherry thought it was a good time to interrupt.

He had no idea what went through his parents minds when they thought it would be a good idea let Cherry in after she had once again tried to come and speak to Tin. But since it was his sister in law's birthday he held himself back without causing a scene.

Tin had been worried sick when he heard Tor went missing, he was this close to go search for him again but then Can had miraculously showed up with the boy he cared about so much. It somehow stirred up something inside him and made him think of Can in a different light.

Maybe just maybe Can isn't that bad after all.

"Oh my goodness he is back, who found him?" Cherry was beaming beside him.

Can slowly raised his hand and said a quiet hello.

"Oh bless you kid, so glad you found him, my man here was worried sick."

Oh god. Tin mentally facepalmed himself and sent a glare towards her. Who the hell does she think she is.

"Um it's no problem, anyway i'm glad Tor's all fine i'll get going now, ut was nice meeting you."

Tin actually wanted grab his hand but he halted mid step because he had no idea what he would say and it would probably be quite awkward.

The dreaded monday arrived sooner than hoped. Tin was praying to all the gods out there that Cherry wouldn't bother him at schoold but of course nothing ever worked out the way he wanted to.

It was lunch time and Tin started making his way towards the other building because Pete would be there too.

"Hey there i've been looking for you everywhere. Let's grab lunch together." And there it was, like a leech stuck to his arm.

Tin yanked his arm away with force. "Didn't i make it clear to you that i wamt nothing to do with you, especially at school."

"Oh come on don't be so mean, i know no one around here yet is it so bad to eat lunch together?" She fake pouted while batting her also fake eyelashes.

"I really don't care about that now excuse me i have somewhere to be." Tin left leaving Cherry fuming behind him.

As usual the trio was at their spot under a big tree, eating together. Tin cleared his throat to make them aware of his presence as he sat down next to Pete and opposite of Can.

Pete waved at him while Ae rolled his eyes.

"I really don't understand why you come eat here every day, i get that you have no other friends like the loner you are but-" Ae wasn't able to finish his sentence since Pete stuffed his mouth with salad.

"Spout more of this nonsense and i'll stop coming here too." Pete said firmly and Ae quietly agreed.

Tin stifled a quiet laugh at the scene, Pete had unknowingly made Ae his little bitch.

He glanced at Can who once again was quiet. It happened every time Tin came over to their table, Can would suddenly shut down and not speak a word while he was near.
