Don't forget your coat

"Life is crazy" Elmer said as he looked up at the dimming sky. It was a chilly day, and it only got colder as night crept its way to them.

"Not as crazy as you" yn said and chuckled lightly. She then shivered and rubbed her arms. Elmer took another puff of his ciggerette and watched as the smoke escaped his mouth. He sighed and turned to yn.

"That's what you get for not taking your coat" he smiled. She didn't respond.

"Do you believe in fate?" he looked at her face, but she didn't look back. She stared off into the distance, maybe at some passing cars or a bird. He studied her facial features. The way her hair slightly moved at the short bursts of wind, how her eyes kept on moving and she couldn't focus on one thing, how her lips parted slightly when she was thinking, the way her nose crinkled up when she laughed. Elmer could feel himself smiling, but not too much, he didn't want her to know.

"I don't really know what to believe, but probably not. I think you can control your own life, ya know? Its like studying for a test, if you don't then you fail, if you do, you probably don't fail. I mean, you can always guess on questions you don't get like I used to, but that's different." She was rambling again, but Elmer loved that about her. Hell, he loved everything about her. Every single thing. He stopped looking at her and turned back to the setting sun.

"Yeah, I guess me neither. But there are things out of my control"

'Like falling in love' he thought to himself. He didn't want to be in love with her, but he couldn't help it. But...was this love? He had never felt it, for all he knows it could be hate.

Elmer had recently stolen a heart from the red queen. He's still scared shell catch him, but its worth it. To know what its like to feel.

Elmer could feel his eyes burning, and his nose running soon after. He sniffled and reached to rub his eye.

"Hey. You okay?" Yn asked in a soft tone. Elmer could feel himself shaking and the tears falling from his chin and cheeks. He looked down, he didn't want her to see him like this. A few more tears fell from his nose and onto the grass. A hand stroked his back lightly and another was on his fore arm. It was yn, of course. She didn't say anything, she just pulled his chin up to look at her. She didn't want to do anything wrong, so she just looked sympathetically at him.

Elmer looked into her ec eyes, they were one of his favorite things about her. He jumped up and hugged her, somewhat spooking her, but she was fine. She hugged back and tried her best to breathe while he practically squeezed the ever loving soul out of her. He choked out a few sobs, they were shaky as they erupted from his throat. Yn couldn't help it, tears welled up in her eyes as well. She had trouble with emotions, and she always has. If someone close to her is sad, she's sad, if they're happy, she's happy, if they're angry, she's angry. At least that's often the case.

"Yn" Elmer's voice shook so violently you could say it rattled, like the tail of a diamond back. "I'm scared. I'm confused. I think I need your help." Elmer's voice cut through the air once more. He loosened his grip on her, but didn't let go.

"I stole a heart." He said.

Silence.

"What?" Yn questioned. She really didn't understand, and he couldn't expect her to. She hasn't been told the whole hearts and Elmers situation yet.

Elmer took a long shaky breathe and prepared to poor his feelings out and explain how he couldn't even have feelings to pour out before.

"I'm Elmer. But I'm not the Elmer. Well, I mean, I'm a clone. I'm the only Elmer you've known, but there are many of us. This woman, we call the red queen, clones us to harvest our hearts for her own uses. Without a heart, you can't feel emotions. But I stole a heart, and now I can feel I guess. But I'm scared she'll notice and figure out it was me. What she does? What if she gets me? What if she hurts you?" He choked," I don't want that to happen."

"Oh, Elmer. I'm so sorry you and all the other Elmer's have to go through that. Do you want to keep on talking about it or do something to get your mind off of it?" She grabbed his hand and held it against her face, rubbing it with her thumb. His hands were so cold, but she didn't mind, that just meant that she could warm them. He pulled out of the hug to look at her and looked a bit startled.

"Why...why are you crying?" He asked. She wiped away the tears left on her face.

"I'm not anymore." She spoke gently, almost as gently as a feather landing on a still pond.

"Okay, why were you crying?" He asked again.

"Because you being sad made me feel sad." She said while getting up, she held out a hand for him. He accepted.

"So that's what sadness feels like, I don't like it." He mumbled, but knew she could hear him, it was quiet outside. He pulled himself up, with her assistance of course. She chuckled, a breathy one.

"Yeah I don't like it either, but you have to have the sad times to know when the good times roll around." Yn said as she reached for something in her pocket. She pulled out ear buds and her phone. She gestured for Elmer to take one. He accepted, his fingers gently grazed against hers. He glanced up at her face to see her reaction. A small smile grew on her face, the same happened to Elmer. He put the earbud in and she did too, she put on soft music and stuck the phone in her pocket. The ear buds were rather short, so they had to walk close together, hands touching every now and then, each time they did, his heart fluttered, and the sane could be said for yn.

They just got off work, the store closes earlier on Thursdays.

They didn't know where they were going, but they were fine with that.

Eventually yn got too cold and they sat on a nearby bench. It was beside a building, placed between two short buildings. It was blue with chipped paint, and a bit rusty. It looked nice.

They sat down and Elmer unzipped his jacket.

"Stop being cold." He blatantly demanded, almost as if his heart went missing again. She leaned against his chest and crossed her legs, pushing against his legs. He pulled the tao unzipped halves over her body and closed them. She soon stopped shivering and felt warm. Especially her face, even if that was one of the things outside the jacket.

Yn had recently developed feelings for Elmer, and they were more than just friendly feelings. They were really more.

After what felt like an eternity, yn looked up at Elmer. He looked back down at her.

"What? Do you want the whole jacket to yourself?" He asked sarcastically.

"No. Something else."

"Like what?"

She leaned in slowly but surely. Her lips met his.

Both of their first kiss. Then she pulled away, looking into his eyes, oh his beautiful eyes.
