Another little drabble for Charlie Pendleton. This time, hanging out with Josh Shepherd, post game. Erm... Both the games.
Characters: Charlie and Josh, implied Murphy and Alex.
Josh like bugs and drawing and talking about his brother, Charlie liked sports and thinking quietly to himself while looking at the scenery around him. Both enjoyed each other's company, even if they had nothing in common.
Well… They had one thing in common and it wasn't something they talked about.
"It's not an arachnid, but it kinda looks like it… Those front two things aren't legs though, that's how I can tell that it…" Josh looked from the bug (a living creature wasn't a usual sight here and Josh was always excited to see them) and back to Charlie, who was staring at the sky. "Charlie?"
"Yeah?" The smaller boy looked back down at him.
"What were you thinking about?" Josh stood from his crouching position to look at him.
Charlie paused, as if in thought, then shrugged. "Just… It's always cloudy here…"
"At least it stopped raining though." Josh replied, attempting to poke at the bug again.
"… That happened when my dad left." There was a small pause. Josh knew that was a sensitive topic. "… I wish I could change, too."
Josh let out a half-hearted laugh, "At least you aren't in your pajamas…"
