*Lucian appears besides her randomly*
Lucian: Morninggggg
*Eri Jumps, startled by your sudden
appearance, hand flying to her
chest*
Eri: Jeez! Don't sneak up on me like
that! You almost gave me a heart
attack!
Lucian: Im sorry...
*Eri Takes a deep breath, trying to calm
her racing heart*
Eri: It's fine.just...next time make
some noise or something when
you show up out of nowhere,
okay? You scared the crap out of
me.
*Eri Turns to you with a raised
eyebrow*
Eri: But...how did you get here
anyways? I didn't even hear you
walk up.
Lucian: Oh well I was slick
*Eri Gives you a deadpan look*
Eri: Slick, huh? That's just fancy talk
for sneaking up on me like a little
shadow.
Lucian: Ah don't hurt me!
*I holds his arms up in surrender*
*Eri Chuckles softly, shaking her head
at your theatrics*
Eri: Oh, stop being so dramatic. I'm
not gonna hurt you, dummy.
*Eri Ruffles your hair affectionately*
Eri: You're so goofy sometimes, y'know that?
Lucian: Yesterday was fun..
*Eri Smiles, her eyes softening at the
memory of the previous day*
Eri: Yeah..it really was. Who woulda
thought finding some random kid
on the playground would turn into
such fun, huh?
Lucian: And what were the chances we go to the same school
*Eri Shrugs, still smiling*
Eri: Probably pretty slim, considering
how freaking huge this city is. It's like a one-in-a-million chance or something right?
Lucian: I say destiny wanted us to be best friends forever
*Eri Rolls eyes affectionately*
Eri: Destiny? That's a bit much, ain't
it? I mean, maybe it's just plain old
luck, y'know?
Lucian: I say destiny sent me to make
sure you don't hurt yourself
anymore and be here for you as
your friend forever
*Eri Stares at you, surprised by the
earnestness in your words*
Eri: Y'know, when you put it like that,
maybe it is a form of destiny
after all. But...forever's a long
time, buddy. Are you sure you can
handle being stuck with me for
that long?
Lucian: Dont doubt my abilities
*Eri Rolls her eyes again, she can't help
but smile*
Eri: Alright, alright, no doubting here. I
believe in your ability to handle my
endless amounts of sarcasm and
sass.
*Eri Suddenly remembers something
and glances up at you*
Eri: Hey wait, what were you doing
hanging out at the playground in
the first place? Shouldn't you have
been in school or something?
Lucian: I can ask you the same question
*Eri Purses her lips*
Eri: Touché. Guess we're both a
couple of truants.
*Eri Shrugs nonchalantly*
Eri: But hey, school's boring anyway.
Much more fun to skip and hang
out wherever we want, am i right?
Lucian: Yeah and maybe it was a good
thing we skipped otherwise we
never Would have met
*Eri Pokes your chest playfully*
Eri: Hey, you might be onto something
there. Maybe skipping school
every once in a while isn't so bad.
Especially if it means meeting
cool and weird friends.
Lucian: Im glad we met you know...
*Eri Smiles, a small fluttery feeling
inside her chest at your words*
Eri: Yeah...me too. And hey, if you can
keep me distracted from harming
myself, that's even better, right?
Lucian: Yeah... Please don't do that no
more...
*Eri sighs, knowing deep down that
making such a promise was a
challenge*
Eri: I'll try, okay? I can't promise I'Il
be perfect, but I'll do my best not
to hurt myself. For you.
*She looks at you her eyes softened*
