[_Spinel x Reader_]

Stepping out onto the pavement, you lean back and stare as the bus makes its way down the road, traveling farther and farther away until it disappears. You gripped your luggage tighter, beginning to walk your new path. You were going to see him.

Your best friend,

Michael.

This entire plan was fabricated last minute, something you would have never done hadn't it been for his insistent nagging. A gray jacket was tied loosely around your waist, threatening to fall at any moment. Pondering why you had it (as it was nearing 80 degrees out, it felt), you reached down towards the jacket pocket. You pulled out a crinkled piece of paper, and neatly unfolded it until the faded ink was visible. It was barely legible, but you read the address as an old friend, already knowing which way it would lead you.

You slow down your pace nearly to a stop, and gaze across BEACH CITY. A strange moment of tranquility passes though you, it seems, and just for a moment, you felt as if you were in the right place. Just this once, you had made the right decision.
