night souls and day hearts (girl x enby)

chap 6 new perspective, old secrets

Amelia and Robin entered the house. It was cluttered and messy, things and stuff hung from the sealing and glass crystals hung in the windows, turning the light into beautiful colors that fell on the old furniture that sat in the living room that Amelia was now standing in.

She found it strangely beautiful.
Robin walked past her further into the house into a hallway. She caught herself and rushed after them. They entered a room and she followed.

Inside was cleaner than the rest if the house but not less cluttered, there were rocks and sticks on the desk that stood in the further right corner of the room.
A big window took up most of the space on the wall that was opiset the door, the rest of the wall was covered on drawings, a few drawn pride flags and the odd fantasy drawing.

Alot of blankets folded on the bed that sat in the further left corner. And on those blankets sat Robin, they were starring at their phone.

Amelia sat down beside them. Robin looked up to Amelia.

I was uh.... wondering if I could have your number?...... sense we are friends and all...." said Robin awkwardly, gesturing a bit with their phone as they spoke.

"Sure", said Amelia and grabber her phone from her pocket, she opened the contact creating screen and handed her phone to Robin. They typed their number into the phone and then their name, 'Robin fenrisen'. They handed her phone back to her. She put it back in her pocket.

When she looked back to Robin she saw that they were handing her their phone now, she took it an typed in her number. As she was typing in her name she had an idea and opened the emoji key pad. When she handed the phone back to Robin, the name read
'amilia 💕'.

Amelia observed Robin's face as they read the name. She almost giggled as she saw Robin's cheeks flush slightly before they quickly shut the screen and put down the phone.

Silence hung in the air of a second before Robin spoke.

"So what do you want to do now?", asked Robin, their voice betrayed nervousness.

Amelia thought a bit on the question.

"Do you have a speaker?", she asked and got up from the bed.

"Yeah, over there", answered Robin gesturing towards the window sil.

Amelia walked over to the window and spotted the speaker, she pulled out her phone and connected it to the speaker.

"Do you have any music preference?", asked Amelia, turning her head to Robin.

Robin shook their head.

"Indie it is then", said Amelia happily.

She started scrolling through her music, she intentionally turned on a very obviously queer song by a well known queer artist, she did not want to rush being too subtle.

After making sure that the music que was decently long, Amelia sat down on the bed again next to Robin.

She looked around and then asked a question that had been on her mind.

"What is all this stuff?, its all over the house", she asked while gesturing to the weird decor that existed in Robin's room too.

"They are talismans, my family followed um, an alternative religion and talismans are part of it",answered Robin more casually than Amelia had predicted.

"Are you pagan?" Asked Amelia in response.

"Yeah, is that a problem?" Asked Robin with a hint of defensiveness in their voice.

"No not at all", said Amelia, trying to fill her voice with as much warmth as possible to put Robin at ease.

The tension died and left the room quite exept for the music which didnt seem to help at all.
