It was 8 in the morning when Ender and Kai set out towards the woods to drop the latter off. It had barely been two days since he got to know Kai yet Ender had grown fond of him. He had woken up on the couch, flustered, cause it seemed like he had slept on Kai's lap all night. The man had a hand around him, securing him from falling off and Ender wiggled out of his grasp only to run to his room upstairs with his cheeks dusted pink.
"You can drop me off at borders, I can find my way back"
"I am not leaving you in the middle of the jungle to navigate back home alone when we just saved you from a possible death a few days ago," Ender declared in a tone that meant no arguments. He pulled up at a drive-through outlet, it was going to be a three-hour-long drive, possibly more if the holler was located far away.
