Nite Time

Painting

Next day BY thE wAy

Lynx awoke to a weird smell, smoke? she groggily walked down the stairs still wearing a cat onsie. She then realized the smell was just Zenith, in the kitchen. She leaned against the entrance of the kitchen watching him, he was clearly making breakfast ( I know super cliché) " What are you making?" She asked she didnt want to get into a stupid fight with him today, Zenith almost jumped surprised to see Lynx standing there. " you really are a cat arent you? like, Where did you come from!?" He laughed " Im just making eggs and bacon, pretty normal". Lynx stepped through the door making her way to the table and sitting down, she rested one arm on the table. Lynxs face lit up as she remembered a memory " Zenith!! Remember when we where 7 or 8 and we decided to make breakfast!?" Zenith laughed remembering the memory "YES! and we put jelly on crackers!" "Annnd dont forget my special "Dust Bread" The two started laughing. "So why are you in such a good mood?" Zenith asked as he turned back to the stove top "I just dont think its necessary to fight like children today" Lynx replied sighing "Agreed he replied looking back at her for a second. Zenith put the food on plates and brought them to the table Lynx decided to grab silverware she grabbed 2 forks and sat down with him. After they finished Lynx stood up "Im going to get ready im guessing your leaving now?" "yup". Lynx walked over to him and hugged him, he clearly was surprised and uncomfortable "ummm" " We are cousins, its what we do". He finally excepted fate and hugged her back she waved goodbye then went back upstairs.

Lynx looked at the clock it was currently 8:40 so almost time to meet with Drift ( He is 2 hours ahead of her because i decided thats how time zones work) Lynx grabbed a backpack filling it with her spraypaint cans she decided to leave then then she wouldnt be late

***

she took her driftboard all the way to crates she picked it up and strapped it to her backpack the started for the stairs that lead down into crates

she looked around and listened for Drift who clearly wasnt there yet to pass time she drew in the dirt with a stick. She suddenly heard footsteps on the loud metal stairs she looked behind her KITSUNE MASK "drift?" she called out "Lynx!" he called back she smiled wide running to the foot of the stairs he jumped of the staircase this is so awkward should I hold his hand?  she thought, it was only a friend meeting not a date but she decided to ask ( warnig dont do this irl Lynx is dumb and if you do what she does it will end up super awkward!). 

" ummm.....can i ......... hold your...... ha-"

she cut off he already took her hand an d started pulling her over to a blank space where she guessed they would paint he let go "You can always hold my hand im used to things like that, in my world thats what friends do!" Lynx smiled "in my world they do this" She said hugging him. Drift automatically hugged her back after awhile Lynx released from the hug putting her hand in front of her like cat claws she let out a meow Dreift copied her pose also meowing they both laughed (IM SORRYY IK THEY LAUGH ALOT!!). Drift kneeled down on the ground opening his bag and dumping his cans on the ground Lynx repeated this then picked up a pink can, Drift picked up red, they started to paint themselves. Drift looked over at Lynx " you might want to put something on your face, just in case" Lynx Looked back at him " Good idea, but what?" Drift looked over at her bag "Well looks like you have some makeup" Lynx picked up the makeup pallet and opened it "Oh yeah forgot this was in here" She smeared black lines under her eyes like a football player then put small hearts across her nose and on to her cheeks " hows this?" She said putting the pallet back Drift studied her face for a second " Yeah that should do!" They went back to painting and talking, they got to know eachother pretty well and  tomeet up again. They were just having fun when they suddenly heard talking, the people talking must of heard them too there footsteps came closer. Drift grabbed Lynxs hand again pulling her inside one of the crates they both peeked out from the container it was two people in gray clothed they were covered in paint

"must think we are the police or something" Lynx whispered Drift nodded still looking them they came closer now taking out there guns, the girl spoke pointing her gun at the crate "COME OUT NOW" Drift and Lynx  pressed their backs to the back of the crate " What do we do?" Drift whispered to Lynx "Ive got this she said looking back at him she was holding a couple spraypaint cans and Lynxs arms were already covered in paint she stepped out "DONT SHOOT, make art not war!" they put their guns down The guy spoke this time "We are really sorry! we thought you were the police or something" "Wait why would you shoot at the police...?" "dont think to hard about it..". Drift had already stepped out standing next to Lynx " so who are you?" he asked still a little shocked "Righht! Im Teknique or Tek and this is my brother Abstrakt" Abstrakt waved at them. Teknique looked around still s little alarmed, she was makiing sure there were not more people around. "Hey nice paintings by the way" Tek said pointing to there painting. Lynx blushed "Tha-Thanks" she said looking at her feet "yeah, thanks" Drift said. "Do you come here often i dont think ive seen you here before?" Abstakt ask tilting his head to look at their art, "I usually go to places like Shifty and stuff" Drift replied "I usaully so this at abandoned places like the motel..." Lynx said shyly, she felt awkward in this situation gosh i wish i could hold his hand again... but it just feels to.. romantic.. she thought to herself maybe blushing but Drift had already reached for her hand and she let him grab it can he sense my emotions or something!!?? Lynx looked up at him and he had already been looking at her already her thats how he knows Tek put her hands on her hips and coughed trying to get every ones attention, clearly seening how awkward this situation is. They all glanced at eachother "umm maybe we can look at your art...?" Lynx said now looking up at Tek and Abstrakt "Yeah! of course!" Absrakt replied excitedly "Yeah" Tek said pointing to one of the walls "we usually go over her". The group walked over to the wall Lynxs eyes almost turned to stars "WOW AWESOME!" they looked embarrassed "its not that good" Tek said scratching the back of her neck "umm yes it is!!" Drift said back to her also amazed.

Drift, Lynx, Abstrakt, and Teknique all talked for awhile and got to know eachother pretty well. Lynx turned on her phone and checked the time "we should probably go" Lynx said looking up at Drift he nodded at her. "give me ur snapchat guys" Tek said as everyone turned on there phones and exchanged usernames. "Bye it was nice meeting you!" Drift said as him and Lynx walked to the stairs. They climbed up the stairs together Lynx grabbed her driftboard from her backpack she walked over to Drift who started up his ATK she was about to say bye when he said "want me to drive you home?" Lynx was so happy he asked "yes!!" she replied hopping in the passenger seat and layning the driftboard across her lap Drift got in then they drove off.

Lynx had fallen asleep by the time he got home, Drift tried his best to wake her up without having to touch her, he gave up and just rested his head on the steering wheel waiting for her to wake up. "mhmm" Lynx groaned as she woke up, she felt her face turn hot with embarrassment " ahhh i-im so so-rry!!" She said realizing she had fallen asleep "its not a big deal its still about 9 at Paradise Palms" Drift replied calmly "well i guess ill see you next week at Dusty Diner?" Lynx asked stepping out of the ATK "yup'" Drift replied "oh one more thing!" he got out and hugged Lynx "Bye"

"Goodbye Drift"
