Raven didn't say anything else.
|
So Wolfe walked to one of the juttles. "I'm not heartless," he whispered to Raven as he started to put things on one of the tables. Sunscreen patches, instadry towels, some generic clothing, water, food packets. He looked around, seeing if he'd forgotten anything.
|
"... I wouldn't be your boyfriend if you were," Raven noted. "And I think Laurel stepped on something sharp," he added as he looked for some bandages and disinfectant.
|
Wolfe nodded and pointed him in the right direction. Then he grabbed a pair of boots about her size and tossed it on the pile.
|
Raven nodded in approval as he added the bandages to the pile.
|
Wolfe hadn't added heaters or any kind of fuel. It looked like he'd now trapped them on an island without warmth with no way off at least for tonight. He neatly placed everything inside of a pod and then took it outside where he set in the coordinates. He stepped back and it quickly shot up into the air.
-- Laurel was silvering a little, the exhaustion and cold finally catching up to her as a popping noise sounded above her. A good sized silver ball was falling towards the island under a parachute. Nic would recognize the pod but Laurel started freaking out. She immediately started crawling towards the water as fast as she could. |
Nic started going for the pod calmly. When it landed he started to open it up and look through the contents.
|
Laurel had reached the water by then and pulled herself under. She wasn't sure what the silver thing was but she didn't like that someone had figured out where Nic and her where. Nic! What if whoever had sent it was after him! Without hesitating she forced herself up, charging forward on aching feet as she tried to find him. "NIC!" she screamed in a panic, anger momentarily forgotten as her fear grew.
|
Nic blinked as Laurel ran over, not seeing what the panic was about as he kept sifting through the stuff.
-- "... We should watch a movie with Frei," Raven suddenly suggested. |
Laurel stopped short, blinking at all the stuff, "W... What?" she croaked, "What is it?"
-- Wolfe nodded a little. |
"... Care package," Nic explained.
-- Raven seemed a little surprised, but smiled a little. "Should we try to find her and see what she thinks?" he asked. |
Laurel frowned, confused, "... From who?" she asked quietly, still on edge.
-- "You find her, I need to talk to everyone," Wolfe sighed, "I'll meet you in... that movie room you set up." |
"Wolfe," Nic assumed.
-- Raven paused looking like he had something to say, but he wasn't sure if he wanted to say it or not. |
Laurel sank to the ground, relieved. There wasn't any danger. As her fear faded a void was left behind. "How..." Laurel whispered after a moment, "could you do this to me?"
-- Wolfe waited. |
Nic didn't say anything as he put on a shirt and some shoes.
-- After another moment Raven finally explained, "I originally meant that to be a place just for us to get away from everyone else," he explained. "Right now it's a secret, but if we bring Frei there then we'll have to share it among the three of us - which I don't mind at all. It'd actually probably mean a lot to her. And I can always try to find some other spot we might like better. But I thought I'd mention it." |
"I... can't believe it," Laurel continued to whisper, "a day after... after I gave you everything..." she took in a slow breath, too exhausted to get angry, "you tossed it all... away. Do I... mean that little to you, Nic?"
-- Wolfe blinked, confused again. A secret place? Like a hideout? How old were they, five? But he shrugged, "There's a theater here." |
Nic didn't say anything for a long time before replying quietly, "You know that's not true."
-- Raven shrugged, leaving the choice up to Wolfe. |
"Then why did you do it?!" Laurel exclaimed, her nails digging into her palms as she stared at the sand.
-- "Go find the movie theater," Wolfe suggested. |
"... I didn't have a choice," Nic whispered before grabbing some water and food before starting back to his side of the island.
-- Raven nodded a little before going in search of the theater. |
"You always have a choice," Laurel barely whispered as he walked away.
-- Wolfe finished his talk with the others before trying to find Raven. |
Raven was waiting for Wolfe by Frei's room. It looked like he had just found the theater.
|
So Wolfe knocked on Frei's door. Frei answered and blinked at the two of them.
|
Raven smiled at Frei before looking at Wolfe to see if he was going to ask.
|
Wolfe seemed to be waiting for Raven to talk. It'd been his idea after all.
|
So Raven turned to Frei, "You wanna watch a movie with us?" he asked her.
|
Frei blinked, "What one?" she asked.
|
"... What do you want to watch?" he asked.
|
Frei blinked again.
|
After another moment Raven suggested a Disney movie she hadn't seen in awhile to the best of his knowledge.
|
Frei shook her head.
"Fast and Furious 10?" Wolfe asked and she nodded. |
Raven raised his eyebrows, but Wolfe did know her moods better than he did. So Raven nodded.
|
So Frei and Wolfe followed Raven.
|
Raven took them to the theater. It was a little dusty since no one had used it, but it looked like Raven had quickly cleaned off a row of chairs for them. He let them be as he spent a few minutes figuring out how to play the movie.
|
When he came back, Frei was nestled in Wolfe's lap but their expression remained blank.
|
Raven took a seat next to them and started the movie.
|
Frei glanced at the two sleeping men and sighed. After a moment she tipped over so she was half on Raven and half on Wolfe before drifting off herself.
|
Raven didn't wake up for a long time.
|
When Raven woke, Frei had clearly had fun. For one thing, Wolfe was completely on top of him. Wolfe had full make up on, but the weird thing was... he actually made a really pretty woman with his hair curled as well.
|
It took Raven a few moments to figure out what was going on when he woke up. Then his face turned red. "Uh..." he muttered as he put a hand on Wolfe's arm, trying to wake him up. "Ryuji..."
|
Wolfe shifted a little, falling further on top of Raven.
