Once Upon A Winter
Who are they?
I stepped inside the coffee scented apartment, a little exhausted than usual. For whatever reason it felt like something was weighing me down, was it work? was it the nostalgia? I hoped I knew.
Picking the magazine from the table I show a tiny smile
Ataraxia Knight
They turned out better than I thought they would
As I sat down staring at the pages I felt a little more relaxed, the world of fame wasn't all that bad but it wasn't something that could be controlled.
I check my phone and see twenty missed calls from Noah, which didn't really bother me at this point.
He whined like a child each time
Noah Chrysler
What took you so long?
Ataraxia Knight
I was in a meeting
Noah Chrysler
You're the CEO can't you just cancel the meeting for an important call?
Ataraxia Knight
Not really
Noah Chrysler
But wouldn't that look cool
Ataraxia Knight
Young boy, you've been watching a lot of dramas and it's showing
Noah Chrysler
What else do you expect from me?
Just as I was about to respond the doorbell rang, confused I headed towards the door only to hear very cheerful laughter which felt like it was a first.
Life was a mess, be it the good times, be it the bad times.
The moment I saw the screen beside the door I didn't know anymore, was it sadness? was it happiness? or was it just...a hallucination?
While I was in dilemma, I could catch a few sentences which gave me the biggest smile
Aiden Winter
I swear to god she takes an hour to open the door each time
Lucien Clementine
Somethings never change~\(๑╹◡╹๑)ﾉ
I let out a tiny laughter at their nagging behind the doors
Quickly pulling the handle on the door, I smile at them
Aiden Winter
Ah! That was a faster than usual?
Lucien Clementine
20 seconds? looks like someone got faster
Ethan Krieg
It's been a while, Xia.
Lucien Clementine
Yeah, how's the surprise?
Without even realising it I felt my vision go blur
Lucien Clementine
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I was pulled into the warmest hugs the second I felt my tears, without even bothered with the fact that I ruined their coats I cried like a baby that wanted all the attention.
It felt like a breakthrough
Ethan Krieg
It's okay, now.
Lucien Clementine
Please stop crying? didn't we fulfill our promise?
Aiden Winter
Yea, it's your 21st birthday tomorrow
Ethan Krieg
Uh hm. and we brought lots and lots of chocolate
Ataraxia Knight
*crying* I'm not crying, stop baby talking with me
Ataraxia Knight
*crying louder*
Ethan Krieg
We are here now, aren't we?
Whilst I was overwhelmed with emotions, I remembered being on a call with Noah
Noah Chrysler
Oh my god, what happened now? Its been 5 minutes why the hell is she not responding?
Noah Chrysler
I should head there now
Noah Chrysler
This! THIS WAS WHY I TOLD HER TO MOVE IN WITH IRIE!
I wanted to let him know that I was fine but the embrace contained the very warmth I lacked in the mid winter nights.
Aiden Winter
Hahahah, are you done? ಠ◡ಠ)
I was laughing despite the tears, it was habit of mine to laugh when going through a mental breakdown but this time it was actual hapiness
Lucien wiped my tears with his woolen paw, and patted me
Ataraxia Knight
What do you mean?
Aiden Winter
Me? I didn't even speak
Aiden smiled relieved at my smiley face
Lucien and Aiden were both patting me like they were my brothers, which was a funny thought but we were already a family considering how close we were since highschool; while I was tightly hugging Ethan
all of us turned around to see who it was
Noah Chrysler
Did you cry just now?
Lucien Clementine
She's a crybaby what do you expect?
Noah Chrysler
Are we talking about the same person?
Noah Chrysler
But who are you people?
Noah Chrysler
and why is she crying?
Noah Chrysler
what is going on?
The guys turned towards me in hopes of answers
Aiden Winter
So you are the young boy?
Ataraxia Knight
*whispering* get in
Aiden smirked as if he was waiting for this moment all his life
Aiden Winter
She's the biggest crybaby you'll ever find
Lucien Clementine
Ye, she's the baby of the group
Ethan didn't talk much after Noah stepped in the corridor, he was ... jealous?
Ethan Krieg
we'll wait inside
Noah Chrysler
Am I the 'young boy'?
Ataraxia Knight
Yeah, who else?
Aiden Winter
*from behind* she does!
Noah Chrysler
Who are they?
Ataraxia Knight
Special people...
The guys were making fuss behind, I shut the door slightly to talk with noah
Lucien Clementine
Did she call us special people?
Aiden Winter
of course she did
Lucien Clementine
and why is mister Krieg here being all pouty?
Aiden Winter
someone is getting jealous
Ataraxia Knight
yeah I know, but anyways since everything is fine now you should get going
Noah Chrysler
we are still meeting up tomorrow, right?
Ataraxia Knight
Yea, you wouldn't want Irie to kill me, do you?
I assured him I would be there as I pushed him towards the elevator
Noah Chrysler
Fine, fine! I'm going!
Aiden Winter
Is that your boyfriend?
Ataraxia Knight
That was. very. funny.
I have him a glare but as the child of communication I still wanted to make things clear
Ataraxia Knight
He's was a junior, and well under required circumstances I had to reject his proposal.
Lucien Clementine
OooHhhhH
Aiden Winter
Look who's all grown up
Ataraxia Knight
You want me to accept his proposal or something?
I could feel a cold glare from behind
The guy who always smiles was giving me the sweetest scary smile
