Fireafy is the only thing keeping me from breaking down and crying right now.

Leafy's POV

It was 7am, and we were in the band room.
I sat with my section happily.
"Finally!! It's competition day!" I said to my section. "We'll do great everyone!"
Autumn nodded, and motioned me to sit. He stood, and sighed.
"Leafy's right Everyone. We will be amazing. Remember, when we get there to the school in Yoyleland, we need to show pride for our school. So no swearing, or-" he was cut off by Diamond.
"We know Autumn! You've been telling us this for years!" She said.
Autumn laughed, and sat in his seat.
"I'm just reminding you guys. Is everything on the bus?"
We all nodded.
"All instruments and uniforms are on the bus. I triple checked." I started. "All that's not on the bus is our backpacks."
"Good. Now, I believe that's it..just wait until Note tells us to board the bus." Autumn stood again, and walked away to his other friends.
"Say Leafy.." Diamond started, tapping on my shoulder.
"Yea?" I asked.
"Where's that fire boy?"
I looked next to me.
He wasn't here.
"Oh...I don't know.."
Luckily, just as I said that, he walked in, half awake.
"Ah! Fire Boy! You're here!" Diamond said aloud. "And a good morning to you!"
He grumbled, and sat in his seat.
He had a black hoodie on, with the hood up. He had black shorts on.
"Hey Firey!" I greeted happily.
He looked at me, and said nothing.

(Art go poof)

He was silent, then put his hood up.
"It's too early..." he groaned.
"Aw don't worry! You can sleep on the bus!" I said.
He mumbled something, and I laughed.
"Alright everyone!" Mr. Note said aloud. "You Can all start boarding the bus!"
We all stood, and ran outside to the busses.
Firey and i would be sitting together, since everyone else was sitting with someone else. And no one really wanted to sit with Firey.
See, in this Band, no one really cared about the popular kids.
So for Firey, this was probably his escape from being treated like a king with a crown on his head.
"How long till we get there?" Firey asked, pulling the strings on his hoodie to even them out, before slouching down in his seat.
"It should be a couple hours. Maybe 3 hours tops." I replied.
"Why so long?" He groaned.
"Well, there's always traffic around this time when traveling to Yoyleland!" I smiled.
He said nothing else, except nod.
The bus started, and we were off.

About an hour went by, and I was listening to music.
Thankfully, Firey let me have the window seat, so I just watched the cars pass by as we drove.
This was always calming to me.
I was suddenly startled by Firey.
He was asleep, and had leaned onto me.
I blushed, and smiled.
'No..don't feel like this' I thought to myself. 'He doesn't like you in that way. He never will. He's just asleep.'
He was..warm though..his breathing was so..calming..
I liked it.

Firey's POV

I pretended to be asleep, and I wanted to test something.
I leaned on leafy, and I heard her breathing quicken.
She was nervous.
I smiled to myself, and stayed like this.
She felt really cold anyways.
I would always do this with Puffball, but i recently stopped. Mainly because she would always cry that I was ruining her hair or makeup. She would then push me away.
Leafy didn't even care though. I felt calm.
I trailed my hand to one of hers, and grabbed it.
'Shit- why'd I do that?!' I thought. I couldn't pull away now, she'd know I was awake.
I just held it for a while, my breathing slowing.
I was falling asleep.
Finally.

Leafy's POV

'H-He grabbed my hand?!' I thought
'Why'd He do that? Does he even know what he's doing?'
I shook these thoughts away.
'He probably does this with Puffball.' I concluded.
I looked at him, his warmth was nice.
He rubbed my hand with his, my cheeks felt warm.
