Okay, so this story isn't as popular as I thought it would be. Only seven views? Gr. But someone in Germany has read this, and I don't know why but I find that really cool. So danke for reading this, German person! Also: In the last chapter, I know I didn't make Arc as shy as he normally is. I'll try and fix that in this chapter!
"Hello, _! I missed you!" Luneth exclaimed happily as he pulled me into an unexpected hug. At first I struggled, but then I relaxed. Before I knew it the hug was over. I'm not sure why, but it disappointed me.
"How was your trip, Luneth?" I asked, genuinely curious. I'd always been interested in traveling all over the world, but the farthest I'd ever been out of the tiny rural town of Ur was the neighboring rural town of Kazus.
"It was fun, but I missed this little place. And some of the people in it." He replied, poking me at the words 'some of the people in it'.
"Good to know you missed me."
"Actually, I was talking about Arc. Where is he?" I rolled my eyes and slapped him playfully.
"He's-"
"Oh, hi Luneth. When did you get back?" Arc interrupted, stepping out from where he was hiding somewhere behind me.
"Hey, brother! How've you been while I was gone?" The white-haired teen held out his hand for their secret handshake. Arc slapped it, then did some other hand motions that were too fast for my eyes to follow. The handshake ended with a hug. I stood back watching. Luneth extended his hand, which I took, and he pulled me into the hug. Now, I wasn't one for physical contact, but for some reason I was upset (just a little) when Luneth let go.
"Have you two kept the orphans in check?" Luneth's father asked while striding up to us. He held a banana smoothie in one hand and a plastic Crystal-Mart bag in the other. The Crystal Industry was a huge multi-specialty company that manufactured just about anything. In just three years, the name Crystal Industries was ubiquitous. I nodded to answer his question. Arc and I were the oldest orphans in the orphanage, so now and then we were allowed to watch the younger orphans. "Good. I have something for you two!" His face lit up as he handed the smoothie to his son then rifled through the bag for our presents. For Arc was a book entitled Final Fantasy [I have no creativity]. For me was a set of guidebooks from all of the major cities in the world. I smiled at the present. Dad knew how much I wanted to travel the world."It was the best I could do, I know how much you want to travel. Maybe one day we'll take you two with us. How does that sound, Lune?" He asked, nudging his son.
"No, thanks, Dad. I'd really prefer that you just took _. I like it here." Arc politely declined. I knew Arc well enough that he did like traveling, almost as much as I did, but he was the most polite and shy person I'd ever known. Luneth, on the other hand, was creative and outgoing. He had absolutely no fears. In fact, Luneth was perfect in every way...
"What's wrong, _?" The violet-eyed boy asked, interrupting my thoughts.
"Oh, n-nothing."
Filler. This will get more interesting, I swear! REVIEW!
