The girl with mismatched eyes POV

We've been here for a month.
A month of arguing.
A month of eating less and less.
A month of pain.
A month left to live.

But there's been positives.
Ethan.
Ethan.

We've been hanging out a lot together. I mean, it's hard not to, living on a four-level ship with only three people on board.

We just go through all the music that he has together, and sometimes we dance to it together.

I think I might like him.
I don't know.

"Auri?" Ethan calls.

"Heya!" I say, and go back to the job at hand, sorting through boxes of junk.

"What are you doing?" He asks.

"Sorting through stuff. What are yooou doing though?"

"Talking to you."

I giggle. "Way to evade the question, Ethan."

"Rude. Can I help you?"

"No, it's okay."

He leans in, over my shoulder.
"You sure?"

"A hundred and eleventy percent."

He laughs. "A hundred and eleventy?"

I nod my head.

"Riiiight. Well. I'm gonna go and see what sort of chaotic shenanigans that Flynn's gotten up to."

"Wait- just invite him here, and we can chat."

"Sounds good. I'll get the music too?"

"YES!" I stand up and hug him.

He wraps his arms around me.
"I like having you around."

"Um...you too?"

He chuckles and walks out of the room.
Holy cake, I really like him.

He smiles at me before leaving, and my heart melts.

"Thank god for the apocalypse." I mutter, and go back to sorting stuff.

"Hey, Auri." Flynn says, and walks inside the small room.

"Heya, blondie."

"Don't call me that."

"You can't stop meeeeee!"

"Yes I can."

"No you can't."

"Can."

"Can't."

"CAN!"

"CANT!"

He tackles me.
"YES I CAN!"

"AAAAAAAAAH! NOOOOO!"

"HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!" He shouts.

"ETHAN! HELP MEEEEEE!"

"Oh shit oh shit Ethans scary when he's mad and a mad Ethan is a nope nope nopety nope no thANK YOU!" He says and gets off me, and I burst into giggles.

Ethan appears from nowhere.
"I heard my name?"

"Holy cake you summoned him..." I say.

"Ack no thanks don't hurt me."

I laugh, and go back to sorting out junk while Ethan sorts out music.

"Hey, blondie, have you ever been in love?" I ask, as guitar fills the room.
Ethan sits down next to me.

"Yeah, I got a girl back home."

"Earth or the Colonies?"

"Colonies."

"Blondies got a giiiiiiirlfrienddddd." I tease.

"Shut upppp."

I smirk.
"You ever been in love, E?"

"No."

"...oh."

"F in the chat, buddy." Flynn says, and I smirk.

"That's rough buddy."

He snorts. "I WAS TRYING TO BE KIND BUT YOUVE RUINED IT WITH YOUR AVATAR REFERENCES!"

"Haha Avatar references go brrrrrr."

"I hate you."

"Hate you more."

He rolls his eyes.
"Okay, spill the deets about you and your boyfriend."

"Don't have one. Well, had one. But we broke up after I told him about Octavia."

"Prick." Ethan mutters.

"Say it louder for the kids in the back. His name was Brandon."

"BRANDONS A PRICK!" Ethan and Flynn shouts, and I chuckle.

I pull out the next piece of junk, and it's a camcorder.

"Oh, no way, my Mom has one of these." Flynn says, and tries to take it from my hands.

"Nuh-uh. Mine now."

"Aw man."

I pull out the next piece of junk, and it's a pamphlet.
A pamphlet for Cryo.

"Oh my god..."
