#2. he had decent pay for someone who isn't paying for his living space

[meowing-at-u]

ffs bruh why do some parents do the thing where they'll go up to you and ask you how they can support so you tell them exactly how and they're like "no, I don't believe that'll help you so I will not do it"

and

I guess I'm fortunate I don't have it real bad like many do in terms of their relationship with their parents but like why'd he even ask me in the first place if he wasn't gonna like the answer, man

[squeak-art]

whats the day to day in miitopia verse for ur folks

Depends on the person! readmore bc im goin through most everyone lmao. For some info tho, my main verse takes place roughly 2 years after the events of the game

For the 'main' postgame team of Mim, Calia, Dela, and Kets, if they don't have some kinda quest stuff going on (the occasional face and/or monster incident still happens, funni postgame plot antics i came up with so that i could do more silli stuff w writing the lads still) they tend to hang around the Travel Hub and just sorta do whatever--

Mim tends to team stuff or the horse (named Creamsicle) and also just likes to socialize at various lil cafes and such, and if Calia isn't keeping to herself she likes to follow Mim around. Calia, being near-blind due to... reasons, as well as just being a very likes-her-own-space sort, tends to prefer to just stay in familiar locations and do whatever activities it is a cleric does

Dela's also fairly social, but aside from that she tends to spend time semi-training Kets in how to be better at sneaky spy and info-gathering stuff-- she's the thief and he's the intel, more or less. They also do their own more private 'quests' on occasion for ppl who may need information or certain objects taken from another-- assuming the person isn't doing anything too bad and they pay decently, or if it's a special case that they feel they need no pay for.

The rest of the main 10 are not always available, and tend to stick to their home locations-- they do occasionally join up for various quests and all and still all maintain a lot of contact with eachother, but the others have their own lives to live too and can't just always dedicate to being part of the active party.

Quarty and Rasi, on top of being an active couple and doing Couple Things, tend to also like to help eachother with their careers on occasion! Although he isn't much the performer type, Rasi helps Quarty with practice and rehearsal performances and testing new songs out, and Quarty helps Rasi with certain knight-in-training tasks, though he isn't very good for combat practice help since bladed weapons were never really his thing.

They're not always together though, and while Rasi often has to deal with knight things, Quarty is also helping in teaching Dinzy in Popstar music type stuff! Dinzy otherwise does normal school-aged kid stuff, but she loves going to Quarty to learn his ticks and help out.

Val and Nal-- the twin brothers of Neksdor-- actually run a business together! A sort of weird combination restaurant and tech help place, though part of the gimmick is that if someone isn't really in a position to pay they'll "accidentally" charge less or even "forget" to charge, since in the end their ultimate goals is simply to help the people of their communities who need it. Every since being part of the main team, they've more than had the funds to be able to sustain this sort of thing.

Aside from their work, they also deal with Micha-- an android from Nimbus who was rescues and now stays with them, mostly on account of Nal knowing how to manage all that techy stuff. It's sort of like raising a kid if that kid was a very learning-how-to-be-a-person robot with dangerous weaponry on hand. She's friendly, just... needs a bit of direction.

Zinni and Sprout, the weird sibling-like duo of the Fey Realm, don't really have any specific tasks they tend to-- they just sorta play the part of secondary protectors to the place, in the even that they're either better suited for something or the Fab Fairies aren't available. The two also have a lot of learning how to be in an actual community to do, seeing as Sprout is a wild child from the forest, and Zinni is a cult escapee

There's also Hazari, who is Kets' half-sister, and she's... got issues. Mostly relating to some not very kind views held by some parts of the Fey folk, and also havin the complex of being all mature and cool and smart at the ripe old age of like... 14-16 or so. Zinni and Sprout at least try to rein her in a little, seeing as she does need to be able to get along with the others on account of being one of the 4 new recruits to the team. She's also concerning obsessed with getting the approval of the Great Sage, much to Marin's dismay.

Visula, a semi-Vampire (as there is two flavors of vampire) from Peculia, mostly spends her time away from home for... reasons, and usually is in the traveler's hub somewhere doing her own things, and occasionally pestering Mim and Calia, the later being due to them being childhood friends before Calia had moved to Greenhorne! Honestly out of everyone Visula probably has the most normal day to day, just hang out and vibe and talk to friends.

Most of the Origins team is uh... dead people. Ghosts. Save for Vivo, due to him being a True Vampire and thus an ageless entity. He prefers to be active at night (The sun isn't all that dangerous, but True Vampires are at least mildly bothered by it and him having albinism doesn't help) but for the most part they all just stay at his place, hidden away and playing games and chatting and all that-- he hasn't gone out much since the events that went down roughly 200 years ago (though to be fair, he spent most of that asleep)

Marin and Nori live in a cabin in Powdered Peaks, near the edge closest to the Travel Hub, seeing as that's Marin's home before everything as well. Although they do both travel between the various other places often, in part due to that simply being what Marin does, and in part to help with Nori's atonement and rehabilitation, they spend a decent amount of time at home too. Marin does a lot of personal studies on magic and nature-related stuff, as well as a lot of magic training to keep her skills and spells sharp, and Nori just... kinda does whatever. She hasn't figured out her place or herself out enough to stick to one thing quite yet.

Much to their activities when traveling, aside from... well, traveling and camping and such, also involved helping people out as they go in typically small ways, though larger situations to also arise at times. Though, Marin does tend to avoid the more populated places, on account of not really being much of a people person, despite her reputation and how she acts,and wanting to not get caught up in too much weirdness that results from basically being the land's equivalent of a celebrity.

And... Trence. He used to live alone, but in more recent times Hasal, a living ghost not unlike how Nori now is, ended up showing up and opting to stay with him in Lumos. There's not much to do unless you count dealing with all he monsters and the very much vengeful ghosts there, but while Hasal does who-knows-what like the mysterious lil freak he is, Trence likes to tinker around with robotics and tech and program and stuff in his freetime, and has also taught himself how to fight enough to manage his job and situation, even eventually making himself a custom scythe that has a flippable blade! He's a bit of a workaholic too, though, and... doesn't treat himself the best, but Hasal has been trying to help with that.

...

Oh, right. and Vigil is... a necklace ghost man. Guardian Spirit. He just sort of vibes with Mim most of the time lmao

Arizona, 2001:

"Aww look at you! My little girl! All dressed up on her first day of kindergarten!" Your mother doted. "Y/F/N, doesn't she look pretty?"

"Like a princess!" He yelled out from the other room. "See?" Your mom smiled and caressed your cheek. "Yeah.." You held your tiny hands together and looked down at the hardwood floor in your doorway.

Your mother's smile faded and she held your hand gently. "What's the matter?" You refused to meet her eyes and stared off into space.

"I'm scared," You whispered softly and your mom cooed softly. "Aww sweetie. It's going to be okay! You'll be there until lunch time then-"

"It's not that," You interrupted. "Then what is?" You pouted and sighed. "The other kids, they're not going to like me. They're going to think I'm a freak."

"Hey, hey." She forced you to look at her. "Don't say that. You're not a freak."

"Yes, I am." You insisted. "Y/b/n said so. He said normal kids can't talk to others in their hea-"

"And if Y/b/n told you to jump of the bridge, would you follow?" You furrowed your little eyebrows. "No, that would be silly."

"So wouldn't it be silly to believe everything he says?" You thought about it for a minute and smiled. "Yeah."

"Yeah?" You nodded and your mom pulled you close. "I don't want to ever hear you say those things about yourself again, alright? You're not a freak. What you have is a gift. How many other kids do you know that can tell good from bad and talk in their head?"

"I don't know anyone else who can." You shrugged. "See? It's a gift. You're so special, Y/n." You smiled and nuzzled closely to your mom. "Thanks mama."

"Of course." She pulled away from you and kissed the top of her head. "Do I hide it from the other kids or-"

"You do whatever you feel comfortable with, okay?" She smiled softly. "Okay mama." The school bus pulled up infront of your house and you gulped nervously.

"I'll see you later, okay?" She kissed the top of your head. "Okay mama." You skipped out the front door. "Bye sweetie! Make good choices!"

"I will!" You promised and hesitantly got on the school bus. Your mom waved to you and blew you a kiss before stepping back inside.

The first few hours of kindergarten were pretty uneventful. It was the basic find your name on the desk thing and coloring sheet which you didn't mind but most of the kids seemed mean.

When you'd look at them they'd narrow their eyes at you or not bother to speak to you unless they have to.

When it came time for recess you sat by yourself for a little while on the swings, enjoying your own head space. You began to question what your mom told you and had doubts on just how 'good' this Kindergarten thing was going to be.

"Stupid." You kicked the ground and just as you were about to take off on the swing, you felt someone tapping your shoulder.

"Excuse me." You turned to look behind you and found one of the other girls in your class standing behind you. She had short, curly blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Her clothes were a little tomboyish but you didn't mind or judge. "Do you mind if I take the swing next to you?"

"No, go ahead." The girl grinned and say down next to you. "Thanks."

"I'm Y/n. What's your name?" You greeted. "Andrea, but I don't like it. You can call me Andi. That's what most people call me anyways."

"I like your name. I think it's pretty." The other girl blushed and giggled. "Thanks. It's nice to not have someone say my name is a boys name."

"Why would they say that?"

"The boy from Toy Story is named Andy."

You shrugged and smiled. "Still though, I think it's pretty. Who says it can't be for a boy or girl?"

"True." Andi smiled and swung back and forth. "I like you, Y/n. You're nice." You giggled and smiled. "Thanks! So are you! You're the only one here who will really talk to me."

"They won't talk to me either." Andi met your eyes. "Why won't they talk to you?"

"I-i shouldn't really say. You might get scared."

(Is it because you can do this?)

You heard her voice clearly in your head and your face went blank.

(I always thought it was-)

(Just you? Me too.)

(How did you know I can..? You know..)

(I don't know. I got the feeling you could when I looked at you. You're the first person I've ever met besides me that can do this.)

You smiled gratefully as if to say 'thank you for not letting me think I was crazy,' and Andi returned the gesture.

"Friends?" Andi held her tiny pinky out towards you. "Best friends." You grinned and pinky swore with her.

When it came time for you both to go home you gave each other a quick hug before going your seperate ways.

You were so excited. You finally had a friend. A real friend, and they were exactly like you. When you got off the bus at your house you immediately ran inside.

"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" You screamed excitedly and looked around in the kitchen for her. "Mommy had to run out to the store, Y/n. She'll be home in a little bit."

You could hear your dad walking downstairs. He had a beer in his hand and set it down on one of the higher steps that way you couldn't knock it over. He held his arms out to you and you eagerly ran into them.

"How was your day?" He asked softly and kissed the top of your head. "It was amazing! Daddy, I made a friend!" You beamed.

"See? We told you the other kids would love you. What's their name?" He asked. "Andi! She's so pretty! And she's like me, daddy!"

Your father felt his mouth go dry and he desperately wanted to take a sip of his beer. "L-like you?" He asked softly.

"Mhm!"

(She can talk to me like this.)

Your father looked boggled at hearing your voice in his head. "Well..that's uhm..that's very nice, sweetheart. I'm glad you have a friend with such similar gifts."

"Isn't it cool?" He grinned and kissed the top of your head. "Oh look, I think mommy's home." He patted your back.

"Ooo! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!.."

It didn't take long for you and Andi to become inseparable. Every day you'd sit next to each other in class and instead of passing notes you'd talk in your heads and it seemed like every weekend you'd be having a sleepover at the other one's house.

Andi's mother was always very nice to you but there was just something off about the family dynamic, her father in particular. At first when you met the man he seemed pretty decent, smiling and putting on the whole happy family act but he began to change slowly over time.

When you'd come over to see Andi he wouldn't seem as happy and that pit you had in you for good or bad would drop at the very sight of him.

Why, you didn't know but you knew something was wrong. You mentioned something about it to Andi the one time she was staying your at your house over night, the summer before 3rd grade.

"I'm worried about you," You whispered softly and reached your little hand out to her equally tiny ones. "Why?" She asked, turning over in her sleeping bag that way she could hold your hand.

"You seem quieter lately and your dad seems..off." Andi overted eye contact. "Do you want to tell me something?" You asked gently.

"I-" Andi had tears brimming in her eyes. "I don't want to talk about it. I'm not allowed to talk about it. My mom will get mad."

"You don't have to tell her you told me." You sat up crossed legs and squeezed her hand as reassuringly as any near 8 year old could.

"I-i can't." Andi started crying and you pulled her into a hug. "Okay, I'm sorry."

"No, it's not your fault. I just wish I could say but I can't." She held onto you tightly and cried into you. You noticed a little bruise on her neck but said nothing, not wanting to upset her more.

"I-it's okay, Andi. I get it." The other girl tried to wipe her tears away and pulled out of the hug. "Y/n?"

"Yeah, Andi?" She smiled appreciatively at you. "Thanks for being my friend," She sniffled. "Best friends forever right?" You held your pinky out to her's. "Yeah," She giggled and pinky swore. "Best friends forever."

The next morning when Andi left, you mentioned something to your mother about the bruise. "..she was crying when you asked?"

"Alot, and I felt really bad because I want to help her but she won't tell me what's wrong." Your mother sighed. "Yeah well, people are different behind closed door sometimes, you know?"

"Yeah..like you and daddy?" Your mother tensed and looked at the clock on the stove. 11:30 and still not back from the bar.

"Y/n, if I tell you something will you promise to keep it a secret? Because you're special and I don't know if you already kn-"

"I won't tell," You promised. Your mother sighed and gripped the counter. "Y/n, mommy and daddy aren't going to be living together anymore."

"W-what? Why?" Your mom turned to look at you. "You know how daddy likes to drink beer?" You nodded. "Yes, but what does that have to do-"

"He pays more attention to beer than he does our family. When's the last time he tucked you into bed at night and read you a story?"

You had to think about it. "I don't know. Maybe a few months ago." Your smiled sadly. "That's too long. We all know your father loves us but he's sick and he's got to get help, okay?"

"Okay," You hummed softly, trying to suppress your sadness. "Will he come back home when he's feeling better?"

Your mother bit her lip. "I don't know, honey. Maybe. Either way though, it's going to be okay. Uncle Jeff that you like, is going to come stay with us while daddy's gone. It's all going to be as normal as I can make it, okay?"

"Okay, mama." She pulled you into a tight embrace and kissed your hair. "You're a good girl, Y/n. Stay as sweet as you are, promise me that?"

"I promise." You hugged her tightly, trying to brush off that feeling of bad.

Once your dad left for rehab in Colorado, you didn't have to beg and plead with Andi anymore to find out what was wrong at home. You knew what was wrong at home because you were also living it, except with your uncle.

The second you would get off the bus from school you'd go straight up to your room and only come out to eat dinner, hoping you'd avoid Uncle Jeff's wrath.

As things began to worsen at your house, Andi's house was near its all time low. Her mother, who you originally adored, you slowly began to despise.

"I don't want that girl in our house, anymore!" Andi's mother screamed while you were over the one night. "Why? Because you know she knows the truth as to what going on here?"

The sound of a slap radiated through the house to where you could hear it from upstairs. You didn't have to see it, to know what happened to Andi.

"There is no truth to your words! That poor girl actually has issues in her home. You lie! Your father has never done a thing to her. You polluted her mind with lies!"

"It's not lies, it's the truth!" Andi defended. ".."

The next morning when your mother came to pick you up Andi's mother stood at the door, arms crosses defiantly and Andi stood next to you. Anger ridden all over her face.

"..so you see, it's not your daughter that's the issue. It's mine," Her mother explained. "I see," Your mother said. You didn't have to be in her head to know she thought the woman talking to her was out of her mind.

"So if they want to continue seeing each other on the weekends, it'll have to be at your house since my child can't be trusted." Andi's mom wrapped an arm around her shoulder but Andi shoved it away.

"That's fine. I'll keep her every weekend. Y/n, say by to Andi. I've got to go home and make lunch."

"Okay." You turned and hugged Andi. "Bye," You hummed softly. "Bye, Y/n." As you grabbed your bag you could hear Andi's voice in your mind.

(You're going to be okay? Going home?)

(I don't really have a choice, do I? If you can make it, so can I.)

Her eyes widened as if she had something she left unsaid but she made no attempt to voice them. "Love you, Y/n/n."

"Love you too." You waved by to her and walked out to the car with her mom. "How's Jeff?" Your mom laughed and opened the driver door. "How do you think?"

It was hard growing up in the situation you did, but you and Andi managed. Your father, after months and months of rehab finally began to rekindle your once close bond.

You'd tell him everything but never about your Uncle. You knew if you did, he wouldn't hesitate to kill the man.

Around your freshman year of high school, the things with your uncle got worse and you tried to find other outlets besides venting to Andi.

You met what you thought was a 'nice boy' at your high school but after your first date the unthinkable happened and there you were, sitting in the bathroom at your house with your mom wiping the tears from your face.

"I can't believe it," You whispered in disbelief, looking down at the little white stick in your hand. "Y/n-" Your mom rubbed your back. "Two days. Two fucking days in your menstrual cycle is the window for a girl to get pregnant and he-"

"I know, I know." Your mom wiped your tears away. "Mama, what am I going to do?" You sobbed. "I don't know baby, but I'll think of something. Don't cry."

She wrapped her arms around you and you sobbed into her. "I'm scared.." You whimpered. "I know but it'll be okay. I'm going to talk to your father, see what he says to do. Because I don't want you have around Jeff longer than I have to."

She kissed the top of your head and patted your hair. "Andi coming over today?" You nodded and wiped your eyes. "Yeah, she's staying over the night."

"Good. How about I give you girls some money and you go see a movie while I figure out everything with your father?"

"Okay mama." You nodded. She grabbed the pregnancy test off the bathroom sink. "I'll put this in the dumpster that way Jeff doesn't see it." She stood up and squeezed your shoulder. "Hang in there honey, okay?"

"Okay." She kissed the top of your head. "Start getting ready for when she comes over." She shut the bathroom door, locking it behind her that way you could have some privacy.

You looked at yourself in the mirror for a few seconds and rubbed your face. "God, I'm a fucking mess." You stripped yourself of your clothes and got in the shower, trying to take your mind off stuff. When you got out of the shower you had a text notification on your phone from your dad.

'I talked to your mom. Don't cry. It's not your fault. What you went through is traumatic. Are you going to be okay to even have this baby?' You thought about it before answering. 'I mean, I think I should be. It's not like I have much of a choice.' You threw your bathroom on and walked over to your room to go get dressed.

You got changed into a cute pair of jeans and y/f/c blouse. You heard your phone vibrating on the dresser and turned to check it.

'Okay. I just wanted to check. Because you know if you weren't your mother and I wouldn't judge you, right?'

'I know.'

'Good. Love you, Y/n. I'll text you and let you know what's going on when you're out later.'

You swiped the message off the screen and flipped your hair other direction, lathering some moose into your hands and scrunching your hair. There was a knock on your door and you didn't look up. "Hey."

"Hey, Andi." You finished styling your hair and looked up at her, hoping she didn't notice the puffiness in your eyes from all your crying did earlier. "You look cute." She grinned and gave you a gently hug. "Thanks, so do you." You hug her back.

There another knock followed by the opening of the door. "Hi, Andi." Your mom smiled. "Hi, Y/m/n." She greeted. Your hand you her credit card. "Eat whatever you want, watch whatever you want, spend whatever you want. I don't care as long as you both don't get arrested."

You giggled. "Thanks mom." She kissed your cheek. "You're welcome, sweetie. You got the text about-"

"Yes." You nodded. "Good. You girls have fun and I'll see you when you get home, okay?" You smiled. "Okay mom. Love you."

"Love you too." Your mom shut the door behind her and Andi turned to look at you confused. "What was that about?" She asked. "It's nothing. Anyways, ready to go?"

"Yeah, lemme just plug my phone in." You raised a brow. "You're not going to bring it with you in case your mom calls?" Andi narrowed her eyes. "You think I really care what my mom has to say to me?"

"You're right. Dumb of me to say." Andi laughed and held your hand. "Come on, let's go." She dragged you down the stairs and the two of you walked to the movies together, hands intertwined together.

"This is nice," She hummed. "Just you and me. I know we see each other every week but I feel like it's hardly ever just you and I."

"Yeah.." You nodded, staring ahead ahead. "What's the matter?" Andi looked you up and down. "Nothing..just feeling a little off."

"Well everyone at school has had the sniffles and stuff lately so it's to be expected." You nodded absently. "Just need a good movie and thing of popcorn to lighten you up."

You laughed and shook your head. "Yeah..maybe I do." The two of you ended up seeing 'Gone with the Wind together.' You liked it but Andi couldn't be interested in the slightest. She laid her head on your shoulder and fell asleep about half way through.

Near the end credits you seen your notifications flicker blue on your phone out of the corner of your eyes and you swiped open.

'Talked to your mom. We're going to have you take a train to Colorado around Christmas and you're going to stay with me and I'll help you take care of the baby.'

'What about Uncle Jeff?'

'She's just going to tell him you refused to come home that way he doesn't suspect anything.' You sent a quick 'K,' and looked down at Andi. How were you even going to tell her? You shook her awake and Andi jumped. "What did I miss?"

"The entire second half," You laughed and Andi shrugged. "Eh, wasn't that interested anyways." She sat up. "Well, I went to Ulta Beauty the other day and I have facial and makeup stuff for you to try if you find that more interesting."

"Anything is more interesting then this." She wiped her eyes and you stood up holding your hand out to help her up. Andi took it without hesitation and took her back to your house.

One box of pizza and two face mask from Ulta Beauty later, you sat on the floor with Andi. Playing with blonde your hair you adored so much, talking about school stuff.

"..I just think it's stupid you know, shutting down the bathrooms for smoking of all things." She sighed frustratedly. "Yeah well, doesn't matter to me I guess. Won't be around that much longer anyways." You shrugged and went back to brushing her hair, not even realizing you slipped up at first.

"Wait, what?!" You mentally cursed yourself and Andi spun around to look at you. "What do you mean you're not going to be around much longer? Are you sick or something?" Her eyes went wide and she kneeled so that she was facing you.

(I'm pregnant, Andi.)

"The fuck did you just say to me?" She whispered.

(You heard me.)

(W-what? How? Why, I mean-)

(You know how.)

(Don't be a wiseass..Is it, you know..)

(Yeah.)

Andi's face softened and she wrapped her arms around your waist. "I'm sorry...I'm so sorry."

(Don't be. It's not your fault.)

(I know but he hurt you.)

(If it wasn't him. It would of been my Uncle.)

"I was going to wait to tell you but my mom's too afraid of how my uncle will react so she's sending me to Colorado to give live with my dad."

Andi's already fair face went pale. "B-but that's not fair! How am I supposed to be able to see you then?"

"Andi, I-"

"It's not fair." She held your hands tightly in her's.

"I know." You squeezed her hands gently. "I need you, Y/n. I really do." She buried her head in your lap. "You're the only thing that really keeps me grounded at this point."

"I know but you have to be strong for me. Once this baby comes, I will find you and we can be together. You, me, and the baby." You kissed the top of her head.

"I don't know if I'll make it that long without you." She started crying and held onto you tightly as you rocked her. "I love you! I love you more than a best friend. I love you like you're my everything."

"I-i know. I love you too..I'm sorry Andi. I really am but I have to protect this baby."

"You have nothing to be sorry about. It's not your fault that motherfucker is a pig and forced himself on you. Just like I can't blame this kid because it's not the kid's fault either. I just-i'm scared for me and you." She took one of her hands away from you and gently rest it on your stomach.

"What will we do if the baby is a boy?" You asked with slight fear in your tone. "I don't know..just teach him right, I guess. To respect women and how to treat them. I don't think it's a boy though. I feel like it's a girl."

You nodded and wrapped your arms around her. "You're not mad?"

"No. How can I be? It's not your fault. I'm just mad they're taking you from me." Tears welled up in your eyes and you held onto Andi tight.

"I'm scared," You whispered softly and she held you close. "I know but once you have this kid and everything is more normal, I'll find you and don't worry about all that for right now. Just focus on today."

"It's so hard though when I have so many unanswered questions I don't know what will happen in the future." Andi held your hand tightly in hers. "Well either way, you have me and your family for support."

"Thanks Andi." You wrapped your arms around her and hugged her tightly. "This doesn't change our friendship?"

"Bitch, you know it doesn't." She grinned and held onto you tightly. "When do you leave?"

"A little before Christmas," You answered. "I'll help you pack and get ready to go or if you need your space, I'll give that too."

"Thanks Andi." She rubbed your back. "Of course."

(Andi?)

(Yeah, Y/n?)

(I love you.)

"Love you too, Y/n. I love you too."

Over the next few weeks Andi you spent the most time with Andi you had in a while, either going out to eat or just hanging out. She became your unofficial girlfriend in a way and you loved her more than ever.

The day it came for you to leave she snuck through your bedroom window late at night in an attempt to see you. Your mom said she wanted to spend the day with just you around but you knew you had to at least give her a proper goodbye.

She ran her fingers through your hair as she took in your features for the last time. "I'm going to miss you," You whispered so quietly you didn't know if Andi even heard you. "I-i'm gonna miss you too." She wrapped her arms around you and you both cried into each other. "I'll find you. I promise, Y/n."

You hicupped and buried your head in her chest. "I know. I'm just afraid of how long it'll take. Because what if you're too late-"

"No."

"And then something bad happens to one of us with our luck and by the time I see you-"

"None of that is going to happen. Alright? Our lives are going to get better. It has to. Because I don't think it can get much worse than this." Andi lifted your face up and wiped away some of your tears.

"But it always gets worse, before it gets better." Andi said nothing and pressed a kiss to your cheek and held your hand tightly in her's as she pulled away from you. "You're a badass bitch. You take good care of that kid, okay?"

"O-okay," You rasped and squeezed her hand for reassurance. "Maybe try not to make the kid as fucked up as us? Though if we're not trying to make them a fuck up, it'd still be cute to dress them up in little leather jackets."

You cracked a small and giggled even though your heart still ached inside. "I'll try my best."

"Y/n?! Are you coming? We have to leave for the train station soon," Your mother called out from downstairs.

"I'm coming!" You turned your gaze back to Andi. "I guess this is really goodbye then."

"Yeah.." In an unexpected gesture of affection, Andi leaned forward and kissed you on the lips. It took you by shock at first but once you felt how relaxed she felt and how nice her lips felt on yours, you relaxed and melted into the kiss.

What felt like an eternity later, Andi pulled back and ran a hand through your hair. "I love you," She hummed softly and took in all your features one last time.

"I love you too." You picked up your bag and walked towards the top step. "Goodbye for now, Andi."

The look she gave you sent a pang of sadness through you like no other. "Bye Y/n." She snuck out through your window and you both went your seperate ways....
