"let's go, y/n, we have business to do."

january 3rd, 7:32am

"good morning" you said as you walked out of the house and greeted scaramouche before school.

yes, you had to go to school during winter break for some community service in which your school held an "open doors day" in hopes of getting money for the school, but in reality the principle always took the money for herself.

"morning" he responded and stopped looking at you, as if waiting for someone, or something to happen.

"something wrong?" you asked him while holding his hand ready to go to school.

he stopped for a second then spoke "no, not at all" and you two began walking, but were disrupted as you heard a car honk you continiously.

"what the hell girl can't you see that I'm trying to get your attention" ayato said from his car "come on, hop in"

"that's why you don't honk at girls, bro" ayaka said as you took a seat in the back together with scaramouche as hu tao was already there.

"hm? where is xiao?" hu tao asked.

"he said he is not coming today, doesn't feel like going to school" scaramouche replied nonchalantly.

"ughh, another ordinary day and another boring 24 hours with nothing special" she groaned as she put her head on your lap.

"we can hangout later, we have nothing better to do anyways" you tried to cheer her up but she was too busy fighting with scaramouche for who gets to put their head in your lap.

"where is thoma by the way?" ayaka asked ayato since he spent more time with thoma.

"oh he has some important things to do, you know, stuff"

"is he managing venti's drug budget again?" you asked him but got in response just him coughing really hard.

"did you consult a doctor yet?" scaramouche asked him.

"i still didn't find the time for it, I will soon though"

another ordinary day and another 24 hours without anything special, exactly as hu tao said, this day was not really special, but for scaramouche, it was his birthday.

and for the past 16 years, this day wasn't any more special than any other day, and he himself didn't understand why he expected something different this year. maybe because he finally made some...

friends?

no he was just getting his hopes up, how could anything change? it was too late for changes anyway, but still, did really everyone forget that it was his birthday? even his girlfriend? oh well, same year as it is.

at least he got to walk home alone, just him and his thoughts, same like the sweet old days.

just him and his thoughts.

*bzzz*

xiao
calling...
