20. Winter wonderland.
There was snow everywhere. Kratos was in the house, spacing away by the fireplace, Yuan was outside, working hard on a snowman for the auburn haired boy, his best friend Martel was helping. They worked steadily, making lopsided areas packed. They were on the finishing touch when Mithos came out, telling them that they should come in, and caught them making the snowman, and defensively, took Martel's hand, stealing her into the house, since she was sneezing.
Mithos was always like that, defensive over his older sister, though at times it was almost sweet. Yuan finished the snowman for himself, placing discreetly on the snowman, 'I Martel' in his horrific handwriting.
The younger half-elf later caused an uproar over this, saying to Yuan that Martel would not have anything to do with him, that he was better off being a 'filthy human', and at that, Kratos stepped in.
"Mithos, did you forget that I'm human? I would hope not, but then again, I am just a 'filthy human'." Kratos was the oldest of their group of four, being fourteen years old. Yuan looked up to Kratos, as he was a general punk, but still took care of the poor parent-less half-elf. The spite coming from his entire being towards the half-elf was a bit more noticable than not, but Mithos was obviously a self-centered brat as he didn't notice much of it.
But rhe blond gave up at this anyway, storming off to his room,all the while dragging Martel, who was currently upset, along with him. Yuan looked at Kratos, a horrified yet grateful look plastered onto his face, and his fist digging themselves into his shirt nervously out of nervousness.
"Kratos, th-thank you." Yuan choked out before bursting into a sob, and Kratos, being the older figure of the group, just sighed and comforted the poor rattled half-elf.
"Don't worry, Yuan, Mithos is just overly skeptical."
That line chilled Yuan's back 4037 years later, sitting in the renegade base near Flanoir, watching as Kratos easily played on Yuan's emotions. The blue haired half-elf wanting nothing more then to just leave, get away from Kratos, but the other part of him was telling him to stay. And even though he knew that he was almost sure to be caught in his treason, he still kept up with his traitorous act.
"Kratos, how, may I ask, did you manage to find the Renegade base?"
"Well, Yuan, I knew before. It's just that this time"Kratos gave off a cool sigh, making his half-elf friend coo ever so slightly. ", I know that you are the leader."
The end.
