Snap's POV

God damn, there was way too many people here today. Don't these people have a house to be in? Or work to do?!

I made my way over to the stand in the corner and ordered a dozen eggs, waiting patiently for the man to organize them before setting them up on the counter.

"How have you been Snap?"

I shrugged. The guy continued to speak and I tried to keep it short and simple but still polite.

I payed him and took the eggs with me.

"Well, well, well! Look who it is-" I heard an unrecognizable voice say from my right side. I fully turned to face him, only to realize it was one of the guys from the river.

"I know you- you're that creepy ass dude from the bridge!" I called him out, expecting him to turn away frightened. Instead he just grinned.

"Wow! And here I thought I wouldn't make such an impression on you." He stepped wayyy too close for comfort so I took a few steps back.

"If you say so. Now fuck off, I got stuff to do." I turned around and was planning on heading back to where Prince was buying the other ingredients, but the crowd was even bigger than before which would make it impossible to head back.

"Ah, would you look at that. Guess you can't leave yet huh?" The guy smiled over to me.

I scoffed. "Right. Like I'm gonna stay with your sketchy ass."

"Oh! You probably don't even know my name. Of course, well my name is Henry. Pleased to meet you, and you are...?" Henry raised an eyebrow at me.

"Late. Thanks for the introduction but I need to get going." I gave him the fakest smile I could come up with and started to cut through the alleyways to get to the other section of town faster.

Almost in an instant, I was yanked back and held back into someone's strong embrace.

Woah- what kind of kinky place did I wander into-

"Damn you have a thick-"

I fucking leaped out of their grip and turned around to face Henry, knowing it was him because of his voice and, also the fact that... he's the only one here with me.

"Uh... you good?" He looked confused.

"I- Why are you acting like a damn stalker?!" I shouted, clearly concerned for my own well being at the moment. Henry simply smiled at me.

"I'm not stalking you. I'm just following you everywhere you go because you interest me." He said it as if he wasn't stalking me.

"Not gonna lie, that's pretty creepy my guy." I gripped the carton of eggs in my hands safely, making sure nothing happened to them. I wouldn't hear the end of it from Lindy if I fucked this up.

"There's just something about you... hm... you aren't like the other ones..." He once again, approached me way too closely, but as I was about to leave, he pressed me up against the wall.

"Huh... I'm not sure what it is though." He scanned me, making me feel uncomfortable as hell because it almost was as if he was a very dangerous predator.

I felt chills run down my spine, which gave me the signal to get the fuck out.

Which I did.

I shoved him out of the way, finally making it out of the alleyway safely. This time, he did not follow me.

The darkness of the alleyway faded away as I emerged into the busy marketplace. I looked around, trying to figure out which route would be quicker to get back to the exit.

By now, Prince must already be waiting for me at the gate.

I made my way through the crowd yet again, this time it was much easier to navigate through all the people since this street wasn't so crowded.

Eventually, I reached the exit and was almost expecting Prince to not even be there, but no, he was.

"Well it's about time! Took ya long enough." He said in a sassy tone, letting the basket hang on his right arm, while his other was on his hip.

"Sorry about that. I got caught up in the crowd." I smiled nervously and rubbed the back of my head.

He looked at me with a curious expression but shook his head right after. "Well, as long as you're here and safe! That's all that matters." He smiled and spun around, heading back to the orphanage and I trailed behind him lazily.

Geez... what was wrong with me.

My mind kept wandering back to Henry. One way or another. Then I heard Prince start talking.

"So, Snap, while I was going to buy the flour and sugar, a really weird..."

Oh god, he's just gonna start rambling on or complaining about how busy the marketplace usually is. This happens almost every time and it still annoys me but I put up with it because he's my closest friend apart from Hacker.

Henry...

AH FUCK! I DID IT AGAIN!

DEAR LORD ABOVE HELP ME FORGET ABOUT HIM.

"...so yeah... over all it was just a very weird experience. He seemed like a nice guy though." Prince finished talking and I snapped out of my deep thoughts.

"Huh?" I asked. He was talking about a guy? Oh shit- maybe he saw me with Henry! Oh no- he's gonna ship us.

"Weren't you even listening?! Snap! What's gotten into you? Is there something you aren't telling me? You've been acting weird ever since we separated!" He pouted and looked directly into my eyes, making me look away.

"It's nothing. I'm fine. I just got distracted. What were you saying...?"

He scanned my face for a moment, then sighed deeply. "Never mind. It wasn't that important anyways." He looked down at the dirt road and kept his eyes there for the rest of the walk back home.

Fuck... I really messed up now didn't I?

Or maybe he was just trying to figure out what could be the reason I'm so distracted?

Henry...

JESUS CHRIST!! I NEED TO CONFESS MY SINS TO MOTHER HERLINDA WHEN I GET BACK!
