Bows & Headphones: Chapter 1

It was a dark, cold night in RoBoomer's cabin. He's been here for a while; about a day or so. Ever since that bus crashed after the driver, Trinity, drank too much. As far as he knew, nobody else survived the crash except him. RoBoomer's snow coat is a mess, and so are his jeans. He sighed. He'll have to wait another day before any help shows up.

It's starting to snow now. RoBoomer's always loved snow. But with the way things are going right now? He isn't liking it all that much. Plus, his snow coat is ruined, so it will be ineffective going outside. Sitting down on the cabin's bed, he watches the fire die down. He's gonna have to put some more in a little bit later.

That's when he hears a knock on the door. This made RoBoomer jump. Has someone finally come to save him? Or is it the cops? He doesn't want to go to jail for hitting that guy at the bar. RoBoomer shudders.

RoBoomer decides to finally open the door. Outside, he sees a shivering NoobzRzAwesomez, or Noobz. She was one of the passengers on the bus RoBoomer was on, though she was his least favourite. Noobz kept saying very odd things; they made RoBoomer shake in fear.

"H-H-Hey," she says, starting the conversation. She seems pretty cold, as well. Her voice is quivering, her skin is blue instead of the typical noob's, and her teeth are chattering. It almost amused RoBoomer, seeing her like this after the absolutely cursed things she's said on the bus.

"W-What do you want, Noobz?" RoBoomer asks the freezing girl.

"L-Look, I'm s-s-sorry for t-the, uh... p-porn stuff I've s-s-said on the b-bus, a-alright? C-C-Can you let m-me in now..?" she replies. She does look sincerely sorry. But, it could just be a ploy. RoBoomer's weary of her, but he isn't cruel. So he stepped to the side, allowing Noobz to enter.

"T-Thanks..." she said, sitting down by the fireplace and putting her hands closer to it. She isn't as blue as she was just before, but she seemed sick still. RoBoomer closed the door, and went back to sitting on the bed.

"So how did you survive the crash?" RoBoomer suddenly asked.

"I d-don't know..." Noobz stuttered. The last thing she remembered before Trinity swerved off the road was that she was about to finish saying something dirty to the closest passenger to her. Then, she blacked out. After waking up, she was greeted by the cold, the ground and her floating crown that's fallen in front of her.

"I can only guess it's luck, then," RoBoomer muttered. Noobz didn't hear him, as she was too focused on warming up.

"D-Do you have any more f-f-firewood?" Noobz tilted her head to the side, looking at RoBoomer as she asked this.

"Only a little. I was thinking about using the others sparsely overnight, since it doesn't look like the storm is going to be giving up any time soon."

"Well... I-I don't think this fire's going to be lasting any longer," Noobz looked worried as the last few words left her mouth. That's when RoBoomer had an idea.

"Well, do you want to, I dunno, use my coat?" he asked. Noobz was about to say no, since her sweater's there, but RoBoomer stopped her before she could even start.

"Actually, no, I'm giving you my coat."

"W-Why? You know how cold it is out there, right?" Noobz asked, concerned for RoBoomer.

"I didn't make my way over here while it was snowing, so I'm fine. Besides, the fire's there, and you need it more," RoBoomer replied, taking off his snow coat and putting it on Noobz.

"Well, how about you sit next to me by the fire, then? Y-You can't risk getting any colder without the fire," Noobz said. She had a point there. RoBoomer had no intention of going back to the bed, though. So, he sat down next to her.

RoBoomer wasn't expecting what happened next. Noobz let her head rest on his left shoulder. And the floating crown that seemingly has a connection to her somehow didn't poke into his face.

RoBoomer sub-consciously let his head rest on top of hers. It'd been a long day, trying to contact help. But, now it was time to rest. Before passing out, Noobz let out a small "Thank you," and letting her eyes rest.

RoBoomer could only smile at this. But, he and now Noobz have to find a way to contact help. Otherwise, they'll be at this cabin for a lot longer. RoBoomer then let his eyes close too, falling asleep.
