My RoomMates (LNC Story)

Four

Work flies by and just when my shift started at half past noon it was swiftly ended at 6:30 in the evening. We had a swarm of gamers come in after lunch for the new game release and I saw a few cosplayers, being a big fan of cosplay I took a picture with them making their day. Cosplay always cheered me up because it was like a form of art, you had to make your own costume if you wanted it exactly the way you wanted and when ever I see the amount of effort and time made into each piece I just couldn't help but swoon over them, it always amazed me with all the talent video games, media and movies made with fans.

Mr. Jund even started talking about his friends and describing them with joyful effort. Then he told me one day he would take me to meet them. I was feeling very excited at the end of the day, because I had made a new friend and I couldn't wait till I made more. I inwardly squealed as Mr. Jund and I clocked out ending our shift. I just had to tell Money all about today.

We chatted as we walked out of the mall towards our cars; we even found we had parked next to each other making me laugh at the weirdness of it.

"A blue Pt. Cruiser, nice." He says chuckling. I look at him sticking my tongue at him making him gasp in false hurt. I laugh shaking my head.

 "Hey don't dis the Cruisers man, she gets the job done. She's my pony after all." I say proudly as I pat the cars hood. Mr. Jund chuckles.

 "Pony?" he asks with an eyebrow raised.

 "Yea, Natives always had ponies or horses to help them get around, this baby is my pony." I explain as he leans against his car parallel to me.

 "Oh, you're Native American as well. That's pretty darn cool Murder. I should've figured by how you look, you're very pretty." He says approvingly. I shyly nod with a smile.

 "I was Native before it was cool man!" I say as I put on my sunglasses and striking a 'cool' pose making Mr. Jund laugh. I join him before a voice breaks in.

 "Jund." A deep voice asks.

I look over his shoulder seeing a taller man with dark brown hair adorned with a dark military green bandanna on his forehead. His hazel brown eyes holding curiosity as he looked towards me. He was dressed in a grey short-sleeved shirt and dark stone washed blue jeans along with some black boots.

 I could feel a blush form on my face as I caught his eyes with mine. Mr. Jund turns around at the voice before replying happily.

 "Oh hey Snake!" he says waving at the man.

I try to make myself invisible as the taller male makes his way across the parking lot towards us, stopping to stand beside my friend, but I find it impossible so I hide behind my glasses and bangs. He had the air of being someone highly respected but it was curious to me that he also had a tinge of playfulness in it.

 'It's so cool he's named after a highly loved video game character.' I think looking at the ground.

 "Snake, this is Murder." Mr. Jund says holding out his hand presenting me to Snake.

 I blush at the attention I was getting and I further hide behind my hair. I begin to shake in fear.

I knew Mr.Snake was a friend of Mr.Jund and I knew a little bit about him but I didn't prepare myself to meet someone at all, especially this friend. I was kind of intimidated by him because of how Mr. Jund described how he was, quiet, and only spoke when he felt the need to and was sometimes very serious.

 "I believe she's frightened of me," his monotone voice says towards his friend.

 I shook my head in response forgetting that I could speak. I slowly look up while playing with my hands. I see two faces look at me curiously and it makes another wave of warmth come forth upon my face. My friend chuckles while the other raises his eyebrow, slightly hiding it behind his bandana.
