Notes: So yeah. Here I am. I've never liked AUs. I have no clue as to why I'm writing this ;; This is an AU. No pokemon whatsoever. Any place's name I use is just because I needed a place and using rl places is just no. Also, all chapters will be around this short. I'm not eloquent enough for more haha. As to what this AU is about, you'll just have to read the next pieces. It'll be obvious/explicitly said so don't worry. I'm kinda clueless about the genres here... I promise I'll try my best to continue posting on this little project of mine :D. Thanks for reading!

1. Alone

A desk, a bed. Some personal items, a window.

Ruby had moved in a few days prior, with nothing more than a small box with his belongings.

New city.

Wallace walked through the hallway and saw Ruby lying on his bed. He kept walking, wondering for a brief moment if the boy was going out that day.

But Ruby had just moved in and he knew no one in the city, except for Wallace. And they hadn't talked much.

His afternoon went by staring at the roof, by thinking in what he'd do if he was still in New Bark, unable to fall asleep.

And later at night Ruby would stand up and take a look through the window. He'd sigh and reminisce of his friends back in his hometown. And it made his resolve stronger.
