Lady Death And The Forsaken Soul

Chapter 5: Conflicted thoughts

I woke up by the sun shining through the window, beaming my eyes with light. I somehow felt a bit sore as I got up.
Stretching my back, I could hear some pops, it was rather relaxing as I went to my kitchen.
My morning routine went as usual and I now had to wait for a bit before calling Marco as it was today that I was planning for him to come here.

However, ever since I woke up, I had something up my mind, I had been thinking of something, something I should probably discuss with him and it was now a possible reason to call him over instead of just him coming because I wanted to see him.
That something was about recent events and their links to the past, some events that he did not get to experience. Those things were related to death, lady death at least.
Because as of recently, I was seeing her more often and she was taking more actions in coming in contact with me. So that's what I thought about discussing with him.

After thinking through ways to break it down to him, I finally decided to call.
Taking my phone out of my pocket, I accidentally dropped a paper.
I took a glance at it and saw that it was the ticket for the amusement park of yesterday.

Y/n: I guess I could tell him about that too...

I dialed his number and waited for him to respond as I started to walk around the house.
After three or four seconds, he answered. There was some background noise as if he was in the streets.

Marco: Heyya y/n, How are You?

I smiled as I heard his voice, it was good to hear him after the time we were apart.

Y/n: Doing good, how about you?

Marco: pretty fine myself, even tho my arm hurts a bit... I accidentally bumped into a wall so it's nothing. So, why are you calling me?

I chuckled at his clumsy attitude tho it might get him into more dire situation if he really pays no attention to his surroundings.

Y/n: How about you pay me a visit? Haven't seen you in a while.

Marco: Been busy yeah, sorry about that.

Y/n: It's nothing, no worries, so?

Marco: Yup, I'll be here an a bit, maybe an hour or so, I have to do things still.

I hummed, it was pretty normal as he works a full time job, at least he's able to get free times once in a while.

Y/n: See ya later then, text me when you'll be around!

Marco: Yup, later!

He hung up. I looked at my phone for a while as I decided to sit on the couch and wait. Checking the news and reading stuff on the web passed the time pretty well as I saw a notification.

-Marco: I'll be here in a minute-

I smiled again, all the time I spent alone and isolated made me forget the joy of having a friend, I'm happy to be able to experience it again, it's truly a delightful sensation.

Sure enough, after a minute or so, a knock was heard by the door. I walked to it and opened the door, seeing a smiling Marco. After sharing a friendly hug, I guided him to the living room where we decided to sit.

Y/n: Wanna drink something?

He looked at me, quickly answering while doing a silly salute.

Marco: I'll have a beer Colonel!

I laughed a bit before saluting back and walking toward the fridge.

Y/n: Aight.

I grabbed a beer and got myself just a can of soda as I went back to the couch. I gave him the beer.
