I changed the update schedule to Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday being the days I upload a new chapter.
Felix's P. O. V.
I stopped in my tracks and dropped my keys. Cry stood up and walked over too quickly for me to react. He wrapped his arms around me and squeezed me tightly. I automatically wrapped my arms around him. It felt too good to be true that Cry was hugging me again after so many years. My mom was saying something, but I was numb to everything but Cry. I shook it away; I wasn't gay or bi or anything, so it must only be liking him as a friend. I pushed down the little voice arguing for the fact it might be more and turned to look at my mom.
"...and he was here. I guess you're pretty happy, huh?" I nodded and turned my attention to Cry. He pulled away and smiled. I just looked at him with a sad look. He nodded and turned to talk to my mom The words were fuzzy and unrecognizable. She nodded and Cry took my arm.
"Felix, aren't you gonna show me your room?" I nodded dumbly and walked up the stairs and into my room. I sat down on my desk chair and motioned for Cry to sit on the bed. He sat down and fidgeted.
"Look, Felix... About earlier... I'm sorry you had to see that. I didn't mean for it to happen. I just needed the money..." I shook my head.
"No one can steal from you. I know that much. Did you loan it to him?" He nodded.
"He said he needed the money, and I told him that I needed it back by today. I asked him for it and he punched me. I tried not to fight back, but he tried to kick my ass, so I taught him a lesson." I buried my head in my hands and sat in silence. After a while I heard the sound of Cry getting up from the bed. I expected him to leave, but I felt him wrap his arms around me.
"I'm sorry, Felix. You shouldn't have had to see that. I never meant to hurt you. You're my best friend. I'm sorry..." I lifted my face from my hands and buried it in his shoulder. Tears streamed down my cheeks. He just held me silently and gently stroked my back. After a few moments I pulled away and wiped the tears from my cheeks. I looked up at him. His mask only covered two thirds of his face, and his mouth and some of his cheeks showed. He was blushing. I smiled and stood up. I hugged him and he wrapped his arms around me.
"Thanks, Cry." We pulled away and I smiled into his face. He smiled back at me. I walked over to the door and opened it.
"Why don't you show me where you live now?" He smiled and walked out the door. I followed him along the street until he darted through an alley. I stopped until he gestured to follow. I shrugged and followed him behind the houses back to mine. He sprinted through the yard and up to the wall. I followed and he pulled a panel up to reveal a passage. He gestured and I followed him. He walked down into a short place that was huge. It was as big as-wait.
"We're under my house, aren't we?" He nodded and sat down. I sat next to him and smiled.
"So, what's been happening since you moved?"
I'll upload two chapters on Friday because I can't upload more than three days a week. My internet wavers, so I don't have it sometimes, and I do have it sometimes. I'll upload when I can, and try to make the chapters longer. -Starflight
