TW/CW: Passing out, zoning out, mention of murder.

He was walking for a quite some hours now, only taking small pauses between walking. His legs were hurting badly, and he was getting hungry. So he grabbed his phone out of his backpack he carried with him. Going on google to search for any nearby supermarkets, he started to slow down a bit. He was getting tired of waking and needed to rest.

The boy came to the conclusion that the nearest supermarket was a thirty minute walk. He was able to do that right? He started walking again, but slowly spots started to cover his vision, making it harder to see.

He was in a forest now, he couldn't stop here! It's dangerous! The freckled boy started walking faster, but it only made his vision worse. And to top it all off, a pounding headache creeped up his head.

He felt himself falling, and the last thing he saw were the tall trees above him.

The tall man woke up to a boy shaking him. Where was he? Who was this boy? He groaned, his head was killing him. The hazel eyed boy went to sit up, but was quickly pushed down again by the stranger.

"Lay back down!" The mysterious boy said "You'll only make it worse!"

"wait who are you?" he asked the boy who seemed very concerned.

"I'm Atlas, he/him. Who are you? And why were you unconscious in the middle of a forest?" he asked back at him.

"I uh, I am Jupiter? I think.. and uh he/they pronouns.. and I don't know? I have simply no idea why or how I'm here.." They answered all questions honestly.

"sure I guess.. but why the fuck do you sound so unsure? Are you lying to me? I swear if you're lying you won't be coming off easy" the now known as Atlas shot back at him.

Jupiter kind of looked taken back by the sharp tone in his voice.

"Wait no no, I'm not kidding I swear! It's just, like, memory issues I guess. And things like this triggers my memory even more, so yeah.." They sat up. He now could take in the others looks.

He had long-ish black hair, which was a bit curly, styled in a sort of mullet. His face was covered in freckles, along with his arms and hands. His eyes were a light brown color, which looked quite soft if he wasn't glaring daggers at him. He was a bit shorter than him, but not by much. His guess would be around 6'1? He wore a black turtleneck with a black sweater on top. His jeans were basic dark grey jeans, ripped at the knees. Both their ears were pierced and had a black earring in them. He wore lots of rings on his fingers. The one who caught his eye was a silver ring with a nice black crystal on it. He assumed it was opal.

A hand waved in front of his face, Atlas was standing there looking straight into his eyes.

Jupiter gave him a sheepish grin "Sorry, kinda zoned out there"

"yeah yeah, now where do you live? I'll take you back." Atlas asked them with a bored expression on his face.

"that's kind of the problem.. Im sort of running away?" Jupiter said awkwardly. "but I don't really have a plan yet.."

"You're running away? Hm, so am I. and you don't have a plan? You do know how stupid that is right? You literally could get killed if it wasn't for me."

"I know.. I just needed to get away okay? You're also running away? Hm, what a coincidence.."

The raven haired boy looked skeptically at him, like he was in the middle of a debate with himself.

"What would be so bad that you didn't even think of a plan? You getting murdered or something?" the other quietly chuckled at his own little joke.

"I mean, yes? kinda" They looked kind of confused.

"wait what do you mean yes?" the brown eyed boy asked.

"Here" The still sat down boy handed the little note to the slightly curly haired person.

The latter's eyes quickly scanned over the words, a shocked expression taking over the annoyed one.

They gave the paper back, and turned to walk away.

"Come on, we're leaving now"
