T.W: mentions of abuse
Yuvette looked to the stars, inside her a feeling of warmth she could not describe. It was her last night to physically and mentally prepare for the journey ahead. She was chosen as a last resort but even with that thought stuck in her head she was proud to know that she could help the little town she called home.
"Shouldn't you be enjoying your last night here?" A voice sounded behind her. She spun to face them so quick she thought she would fall. Behind her was Emile her best friend since childhood, an Avion, they waved after seeing her shock fade upon seeing it was just them.
"Give me a warning next time dude!" Yuvette retorted once she saw her friend. They just chuckled and hugged her so tight or seemed as if she would fly away like a balloon after a child lets go of the string. "Sorry, I just don't want you to go.." They answered a hint of pain in their voice. Yuvette understood why but she knew she needed to leave.
You see Yuvette found Emile after they'd run away from home when she found them they were a sobbing mess but the most noticeable thing was a large gash on their cheek.
~• Flashback •~
"Are you okay?" The young boy looked up from where he was curled in on himself to see a girl around his age in front of them with worry I'm their eyes. " I-I'm fine don-dont worry about m-me... " they answered hesitantly almost choking on oncoming sobs. When the girl gasped the boy looked up scared to see what was wrong. "Your cheek!" They exclaimed hand nearly touching them. She contemplated something then asked in a gentle voice, " Can I touch you? " the boy nodded best they could and the young stranger pulled them in for a hug.
The boy latched onto them shaking and trying to gain composure of themselves. "I'm Yuvette, what happened?" The girl, now known as Yuvette, asked the shaking boy, " E-Emile.. " the boy said sobs gradually becoming laboured breaths. "I-I ran away from h-home.. after my m-mommy hurt me.." Emile explained voice becoming a whisper in the end. " Is that why you're b-bleeding? " Yuvette gulped worry for the boy evident in her voice. She pulled away from the embrace of the boy, standing up hand reached toward him.
He understood what she wanted and grabbed onto her hand letting himself be pulled up. She started walking her hand remaining in his. "Don't worry, my family can get you patched up!" Yuvette exclaimed excitedly. The boy couldn't help himself laughing at her sudden mood change and followed, hope blossoming inside him.
They got to her house, a small hut in the centre of town and entered Yuvette going to find her mother. Emile looked around in awe her house looked so beautiful compared to his own. He was snapped out of his thoughts by a small gasp from the girls mother. "Oh god, are you okay kid?" she asked whilst grabbing a first aid kit. " Y-Yeah just a little shaken up, " he explained. Her mother patched him up and ever since that day he never went home out of fear what his mother would do once he returned.
~• Flashback over •~
"We should get back to the others before they start to worry." Emile joked turning around and starting to walk off. Yuvette followed him to the living room and the rest of the night was fairly normal. She hung out with a few of her friends and after they all left watched a movie with Emile. Once it was over Emile convinced her to go to bed early so She wouldn't be tired the next day.

BEEP BEEP BEEP!!
"Why must you be so loud.." Yuvette muttured reaching for he alarm clock beside her bed. She groaned and got up the smell of pancakes in the air, while she walked past her mirror she looked at herself her hair was disheveled, 'a disturbing case of bed hair' she thought to herself. Moving to the closet she picked out an outfit that would be easy to move in as she was going on a quest that day. She grabbed a while and navy blue striped shirt, black shorts with white cuffs decorated in navy stars. She got changed and grabbed her favorite jacket, a white, gold and blue coloured one and went to find a hair brush to fix her bed hair.
Once that was sorted she tied a few hair ties around her wrist, not for her hair but just in case she needed any, and checked if her locket was safe. It was a locket in the shape of a lavender and navy blue moon opposed to Emile 's gold and baby blue sun locke t. They got them for each other on their birthdays and swore to never take them off no matter what. It was like a rule for them to follow and they followed it well. No matter what they never took them off and protected them with their lives.
Once Yuvette was satisfied with how her hair looked she pulled on her combat boots and ventured downstairs. She wasn't surprised when she saw Emile at the stove singing to themselves cooking pancakes. Yuvette recognised the song as their, self -proclaimed ,song and began to sing along.

Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away and the other
Watches him close from that wire
He says he wants to as well
But he is a liarI'll believe it all
There's nothing I won't understand
I'll believe it all
I won't let go of your handTwo birds on a wire
One says c'mon
And the other says I'm tired
The skies overcast and I'm sorry
One more or one less
Nobodies worriedI'll believe it all
There's nothing I won't understand
I'll believe it all
I won't let go of your handTwo birds of a feather
Say that they're always gonna stay together
But one's never going to let go of that wire
He says that he will but he's just a liarTwo birds on a wire
One tries to fly away
And the other...~• End song here •~
"I almost forgot how great you were at singing." Yuvette chucked as Emile tried to deny it while still focusing on the pancakes. They finished them and told Yuvette to set the table while they dished them out. She sat down and waited for Emile, exited as she adored their pancakes. They eventually came in and sat down being carefull of their wings. They had breakfast and played uno to waste time before Yuvette had to leave.
