Going over to Wisconsin's place meant having to go through either Illinois or Michigan. Which basically meant having to go through Michigan, because Indiana did not want to deal with Illinois right now. Michigan was kindhearted, Indiana gave him that, and he wasn't exactly gross-looking, either. One might call him handsome.

Michigan wasn't much better than Illinois sometimes, though, as he would always tease Indiana about visiting Wisconsin. It was a friendly teasing though, a brother-sister teasing in which Indiana usually found herself laughing at eventually. Michigan had always seemed like he was older to Indiana, though he was not so.

The same was for Wisconsin. Indiana wouldn't have known that Wisconsin was younger than her if she hadn't known so for a fact. He was mature most of the time, as, like a true boy, was never true all of the time. He didn't say much to strangers or those he wasn't close to, and rarely said a lot to the ones he was close to.

On occasion though, Indiana would just close her eyes while she listened peacefully to Wisconsin rambling on about cheese or something else that, to anyone else, wouldn't have made a mattered a bit. But Indiana could just listen to him for hours.

It's not that Indiana wasn't listening, though. She soaked in every word like she was a dry sponge and his words were the purest water.

Indiana found herself blushing just thinking about it. She got a very focused look on her face and made sure that her back was facing Michigan so as more taunts would not be thrown at her.

When Indiana finally made it to Wisconsin's house, she let out a heavy sigh and wiped some sweat off of her forehead, only to find more sweat forming as she realized that she would be seeing Wisconsin again. Indiana turned towards the wind, cooling off her face. Her hair would look a little less neat, but Wisconsin wouldn't care. Those things didn't matter.

Turning back around, Indiana went back to heading in her initial direction. A couple of minutes later, she spotted Wisconsin.

He was just sitting on a wooden crate, taking in the breeze and the sun and the clouds. It is beautiful, Indiana found herself thinking. Wisconsin always made comments like that, so she had always tried to notice the scenery a bit more.

Taking a deep breath, Indiana headed towards Wisconsin, planning to sneak up on him and scare him like they would do when they were mere toddlers. But Indiana accidentally snapped a twig that she hadn't noticed in the grass and Wisconsin's head turned immediately towards the stranger.

Once he saw it was Indiana, though, he gaze softened and he smiled.

Indiana was sure that her face was turning red- several shades by the second- but she forced herself to smile and walk towards Wisconsin.

Wisconsin walked towards her too. He held out his arms and held her in an embrace; her head resting on his shoulder as Indiana closed her eyes and let the moment sink in. The moment was theirs while it lasted.
