Zack stretched his body, having his hands on his lower back.

It was a typical day with Milo. Things falling over, nearly getting crushed, got stuck once or twice, the same ole stuff one would expect from Murphy's law. It wasn't anything different this time, having to run away from stuff that was on fire along with some animals chasing them thrown into the mix. Melissa walked over to him and took a firm yet gentle hold of his hands. It was sudden, but after a few seconds he got blasted in the head from Milo using a fire extinguisher. Afterwards he coughed and ran his hands all over his hair to get the contents off his head.

"What was that for?"

"Your hair was on fire, and we didn't want you to accidentally get your hands on fire too." Milo explained. "Well, no more than what did catch on fire anyways."

Zack looked at his arm. Part of his sleeve caught aflame and not only burned the clothes, but it left a burn mark on his skin. He gently touched it with his finger and sharply inhaled from the sting. That was going to take a while to heal up completely, scar or not.

"Is your arm doing okay?" Melissa asked.

Zack nodded. "Yeah. I think it's going to leave a scar though."

"Nothing wrong about that," Milo replied. "I got plenty of scars!"

"I got a few myself." Ve pulled part of her shirt down at the shoulder, revealing a small yet noticeable scar on there. "I'd show the rest, but you get the point."

They started walking along back to town. There were a few times where Melissa stopped and took a couple steps back, causing the others to do the same if Zack wasn't pulled back by either or. Along the way, Milo and Melissa talked about how they got some of their scars on adventures that Zack wasn't tagged along in. Milo even showed some scars from said adventures, no matter how big or small they were. It was incredible hearing them all and how he still had a smile on his face going through them all. From how he sounded, Milo treasured and cherished each of them whether they stayed for a long time or left shortly after the adventure Murphy's law put him through was over.

In a way, Zack couldn't blame him. As bizarre as they sounded, though completely possible because of Murphy's Law, it was kind of interesting. In another, it's incredible he could see the scars as a good thing, but he could see why, same with Melissa liking them. The black haired boy couldn't help but smile listening to them both. That was until he bumped into a tree nose first, causing him to fall back with Melissa catching him. His hand instantly went to his nose; he removed it afterwards after feeling something on his finger. A bit of blood rested on his index finger. Of course it was a nosebleed, what else could it have been? Zack rested his hand back at his nostrils to make sure no more left.

"Are you okay?" Ver voice was laced in concern as she looked at him.

Zack nodded. "Nothing new."

It still didn't mean it didn't hurt, though.

He got back on his feet thanks to Melissa's help. Milo pulled out a couple of tissues from his backpack. The brunette handed them to his boyfriend.

"Would this help?"

"Yeah, thanks."

He took them, wiping off the blood from his hand and wherever else it was on his face before wiping and covering his nose with it. He sat down on a log with the other two joining him shortly after. They all needed a break for the time being anyways. While anything could happen at any second, it was nice to relax to the sounds of nature, whether it would be from the birds or other forest animals, for the moment. It was peaceful, yet faint sounds from civilization were heard from the distance they were at. That was until Milo's stomach growled.

"...Anybody want lunch?"

Zack and Melissa both nodded. After almost burning alive, the thought of getting some food sounded nice to them. The trio got up after a few minutes and started heading back.

One could only hope it wouldn't get as hectic as it gotten not too long ago that day.
