8luh 8luh! Already back with another story~ John/Vriska this time. I'm not writing it like the other one, but these chapters will be more or less this short. I'd do them longer, but unfortunately I am a HUGE procrastinator, and if I have to write like 3000+ words, I'm gonna go crazy and this will never get updated like my Kingdom Hearts fic. Yup, true story. Uhm so anyway, enjoy this. There will be side pairings like Karezi, Soldia/Eqdia (Haven't decided yet) and Kanrose. Okay I'll shut up now, ENJOY.
I can't help but notice her. There are so many people here, so many noises and voices but I can only see her. The buses come and the people board in ones or twos, or large groups, and still she stands there; alone.
It's gotten dark, my bus comes late at night. Perhaps hers does too. The street lights flicker on, and she's illuminated. I can't help but think she looks like an angel. I push my glasses up the bridge of my nose.
Her hand raises to her mouth, a cigarette held between two fingers. The other raises and she lights the fag. One long drag. Exhales it in a puff of smoke. She lets it hang out of her mouth as she rubs her arms.
No jacket. It's pretty cold. Maybe I should help her out. I creep closer, not wanting to freak her out. Slowly, I remove my jacket and her head snaps around to look at me. Cerulean blue eyes bore into my own aqua orbs.
"I'm not a prostitute so if that's what you were coming for you can fuck off!" Her voice is hoarse and her eyes narrow to slits at me.
My hands flew up in front of me, waving defensively. "Hey, hey! I was just gonna offer you my jacket! You looked.. uh... cold" I manage to throw her a lopsided, goofy, buck toothed smile.
Her eyes widen and she pouts, flicking the burnt up cigarette onto the floor. The girl steps on it with the tip of her shoe, grounding it down to ash. She sticks out an arm at me. "Thanks..."
"Hehe, no worries!" I pushed the jacket into her hand and watched as her fingers curled around it and pulled it close to her. She pauses, looking down at it in her hands. Dismissing whatever thought was going through her head, she slips one arm into my parker, then the other. "Oh, I'm John by the way!"
"Vriska..." The girl mumbled, running a hand through raven hair. Damn she's beautiful...
The trains rattled loudly behind us as the silence between us stretched. A few people departed the train station, still no bus for Vriska. Deciding it was safe, I inched a little closer once more.
She was pretty tall for a girl her age. Or what I assumed was her age. She looked about as old as me. Pretty skinny too. Did my shoulder just get heavier? Glancing down, I found that Vriska's head was resting agaisnt my shoulder.
"Who are you waiting for?" I asked her, speaking softly. It felt like I should anyway. She seemed so easy to scare right now.
"My mom..." She mumbled. Just as she did a large black SUV pulled up infront of us, screeching to a halt. The door flung open and an older looking woman peeked her head out. Blonde hair pulled back into a perfect bun, slight bags under her eyes, a stern expression.
"Vriska, in the car." Apparently it wasn't just her face that was stern. Her voice carried the same sense of strictness as her expression did. Vriska nodded and slipped out of my jacket, pushing it back into my hands.
She walked towards the car quickly. "Thanks John..." She called back before disappearing into the vehicle and the door closed behind her. In a matter of moments the car was gone, leaving a dull reminder of the girl behind.
For the next 15 minutes my mind was filled with the brief moments I shared with the strange girl. It wasn't until my knees were knocking together that I realized how damned cold I was.
The jacket was back on my body in an instant, hands dug deep into the pockets. Something cold touched the tips of my fingers. Somewhat cylindrical. My hand wrapped around it, pulling it out.
A lighter. A blue lighter, with an intricate black spider drawn onto it in sharpie. I wasn't a smoker, in fact not any people I know actually smoked, but I would hold onto this. Maybe I would find the girl again, give me an excuse to talk to her.
Damnit John. I cursed myself mentally. Gotta stop being so lame. Need to start being cool, like Dave. Girls go for the cool ones, remember? I told myself sternly, like a parent scolding a child.
Still... I looked up at the big starry sky above me, smiling like a moron, buck teeth and all. I couldn't help but feel giddy. Maybe this girl would like me for myself. "Hehe... Vriska."
AN: End chapter one~ Hope you enjoyed it, next chapter will be up soon hopefully, uhmm reviews are welcome and yeah, thanks for reading!
