Apartment

I sighed softly and shuffled through the fridge. There was left over cake from my 18th birthday last weekend. That's gonna go bad. I grabbed an apple and went to sit on the couch.

"Its 3 AM..." I heard a tired glitchy voice.

"I know." I responded looking over at the stairs.

"We both have terrible sleeping habits." Error huffed.

"I understand myself but why you?" I asked softly and gook a bite of my apple.

"I've just been thinking," he sigehd quietly and sat next to me.

"Bout what?" I asked looking over.

"Moving." he answered simply.

"Moving?" I asked turning to look ay him confused.

"Yeah. I mean we can't live with Ma forever. Geno I understand. He's sick. And Asy lives here to help with Geno. But I saw this little apartment. It's two bedrooms, 1 bathroom. I figured it would be perfect for us." He hummed.

"Us?" I asked confused.

"Yeah... You and me. I mean. If you want. We could afford it together." He shrugged snd looked away.

I paused thinking about it. " That sounds nice actually."

"Really?" He hummed softly looking over.

"Yeah. Our own place." I smiled.

He nodded. "Yeah. Thats what i was thinking."

I leaned against my brothers side and sighed. "We should go check it out."

"In the morning. Try to get some sleep Fresh." He insisted.

I nodded and let my eyes droop. "G'night..."

"Goodnight Fresh." He hummed softly.

Over the next week we went to see the apartment and easily decided that this place would be good for us. It was closer to my school and to Error's job. It was close enough to our friends and family and it was far enough away from the loud city sounds still.

Today was moving day.

"My baby boys. Moving away." Ma had tears in her eyes.

"Ma dont cry.." I sighed after putting my bags in the car. "It'll be alright. You can come visit and stuff."

"Yeah. We aren't that far away." Error flashed a small smile.

" Are you sure your gonna be okay on your own?" Geno asked with worry clear in his voice.

"We'll be fine." I smiled lightly. "I promise."

Ma wrapped each of us in a hug. "I know. Im just worried."

"I know Ma." I whispered softly.

"Fresh. We gotta go. I told the guy that we'd be there by 3." Error hummed softly.

"Yeah." I nodded and headed to the car. I waved out the window as we drove off. This would be a good thing.
