"Vernon!"
The mentioned boy turned around. There, he saw a boy in his age with fluffy black hair and black jet eyes.
"Hey."
The black hair boy walked till he beside Vernon. They walked together side by side. On the way walking, the latter started to rant.
"Vee keep calling me boy! Although I'm not a little boy anymore," he sighed.
"But you are a boy."
"No! She teased me about it, saying I'm too short!"
"Oh."
The walked continued with silence. They passed a few scientists and other workers. All of them not bother to spare them a glance. They all knew these two kids.
Vernon comfortable with the silence. But he knew the latter aren't. In fact, he knew the latter wanted to say something.
"You can just tell me," he sighed, still looking at the front.
The let out a dried laughed "Pff! I must not be very good hiding it eh?"
"Very not good."
"Ah...okay okay," he raised his hands to chest level "I'll tell." When he put down his hands, his excited face turned to an emotionless frown "It just....dad...why does he must go?"
"...."
"I...I can't hate him because he's my dad, still. But why? Why?"
"....hey."
"Why does he must go with that b####?"
The raven hair boy stopped from his track. Tears dropping from his cheeks. He felt his knees so...weak. Looking down at the white marvel floor, he can see his reflection on the clean floor. He hated himself for crying. For being so weak. He clenched his hands to a tight fists, finger nails almost dripping with blood because of the right deep pressure buried on his palm. That make his fists almost turned to white.
Vernon too stopped his track when he was a feet away. He stared at the crying boy, who stared at the floor. Sighing, he walked toward the shorter one. Grabbing the latter's hand, he make sure to undid the fist so it won't hurt himself anymore.
"Vee call you boy because she saw a spark inside you."
"..."
"You always brighten our day with just a smile. You make your mom happy, you make Vee and Kai happy. You make me happy too. Wanna know why?"
".....why?"
"Because your brightness never hurt us. Not like the burning sun. It's more like...a night lamp. Calming, peaceful, quiet."
"...."
"Save. You make a murderer like me...save?"
He chuckled "That sound more like a question to you. But what that had to do with the nickname 'boy'?"
"...you know Vee. She likes to give short nicknames on something important.....also so she can easy to remember."
"Then I am boy."
"Yeah," Vernon leaned his forehead to his. Shutting his eyes, he enjoying himself hearing the calm breaths of the latter.
The other boy blushed "...thanks Vernon."
"Your welcome—"
"This is so gay."
The two males jumped. They instantly looked back at the front. Veronica standing there with an open bag of chips. Stuffing the chips into her mouth, she stared at the males.
"Continue on. I just stand here till Vernon pass me my blueprint that I waited for 30 minutes."
"....curse you, Vee."
"I love you too, bro. Boy you too."
"Vee...!" the black hair boy sighed "Stop calling me that~"
Veronica grinned, catching easily the blueprint that her brother threw at her "Whatever you say, little Matthew~"
"....on second thought, boy seems nice."
"It is nice..."
