⌞ ⤷ a safer way home˚˖𓍢ִ໋🦢˚࣪ ִֶָ☾. ⌝

Dragging her feet unto her front door as she held unto the plastic bag in her hand, no use of trying to hide it when the plushie is as big as a bouncy ball. Bracing herself from a scolding of a lifetime, assuming that having the life like the characters body she inhabited, surely skipping a class or two would be frowned upon.

Not that she condoned it in the first place.

'The school must've called by now.' Y/n thought as the rustles and the occasional noises from where she stood, which is in front of the massive door that happens to be the entrance of the house, finally she opened it, wide enough for her to fit along with the teddy bear.

Closing it behind her as slowly as she can, not wanting to attract any attention from anybody in the house.

"Y/n you're home!" The velvet voice of her mother made the girl freeze on her tracks, "Hi mother." She smiled, now facing the woman that's standing from the doorway that leads to the kitchen, "Nice teddy bear."

"Samuel told me you went out with friends." Terese smiled, "Do you want snacks?" Letting out an inaudible sigh of relief as Y/n nodded in response, quickly making a beeline to the sofa of their living room to drop her backpack and the plushie before making her way to the kitchen where her mom is waiting.

Her eyes, the way it looked at him.

The tone of her voice, it's soft and......it feels pleasant to hear.

Her.

Everything.

'Why are you plaguing my mind?!' Rising from the water as he breathed heavily, catching his breath, wiping his face using his hands so he can open his eyes properly without having the water sting his eyeballs, Azurè has been thinking about Y/n for awhile.

And the fact she wasn't at school that day made him even think about her more, weird huh? Brushing his hair back as he made his way back to the stairs of the pool, now tired of swimming for an hour or so.

It used to be a way for him to blow of steam, but this time, Y/n never left his mind.

However their interaction has been replaying on his head like a broken record, Azurè analyzed every movement and emotions to spot anything that might've give away the fact Y/n may or may not have feelings for him.

I mean she just has to right?! Do you ever believe on the saying that when a person is in your mind 24/7, which meant that, that person has been manifesting you? Well he is a firm believer of that fact.

'She's so confusing!' His thoughts exactly while he dried himself before going back inside his house.

After meeting Rose again, at a rather weird way she pointed out, a gut feeling followed when she and the younger girl departed from one another.

Now lying down on her bed as she blinked owlishly while staring at the ceiling in disdain. Due to the fact it takes her awhile to sleep, Music blared from her phone, drowning her thoughts on a playlist the she made. A thud emitted from outside her bedroom door, causing her to sit up.

Lowering down the volume on her phone, "Hello?" She asked, dumbass of course she was met with silence, facepalming herself at her stupidity, now getting out of bed to approach the door.

Bracing herself for what's in the other side, swinging it open, she was met with the man that visited the library who's looking for Rose.

Her world stopped when he was pointing a gun directly at her forehead, ironically it was already pointed when she swung it open, as if he knew that she'd open the door. "No hard feelings." Was all he said until everything turned to pitch black.

Jolting from her sleep, now frantically trying to calm herself down, finally remembering the last time she was on 'earth' before she was transported in the fictional world of BOCC.

"Glad you're awake."

"Had a nightmare?" Hoshi spoke from the edge of her bed, snapping her attention to him as her eyes were stinging from the tears she's holding back, silence dawned upon the two before Y/n spoke, "Hoshi, am i dead?"

"No."

"You managed to teleport in this world when you're being held on gun point."

"I'm impressed."

"What will you benefit from going into another universe?!" Her mother's words echoed in her head, 'huh, so my wish came true.' Y/n didn't know what to feel upon knowing that it was indeed true, why couldn't she send herself back home? If that was the case, does she need to face another life and death situation for her to finally go back?

"Want to know how to get back? Or will you try whatever you're thinking right now." Hoshi asked, "Huh? I did not think of-"

"Stop lying to me."

"Yes, it's the reason i'm here is it not?"

"My idea is the safer alternative, rather than yours that involves you getting killed."

"Alright then, let's hear your idea Hoshi."

"You're gonna have to steal." He then gave her a toothy grin, "what?"

"I mean not really, you just need to retrieve an important item from every character." Hoshi sounded unsure, "One thing though..." He was deep in thought upon saying that, causing the girl to feel uneasy.

'I'm going through my plan.' Y/n stared at the man before her not sure if he could really help her, i mean how is he not sure?! Isn't he supposed to be a guardian or something?!

Snapping out of his trance as he summoned a pink box out of thin air, "Got it!"

"If you're successful on stealing or retrieving whatever, put it in this box and make a wish."

Handing her the box, she inspected it quite suspiciously, "Are you sure this will work?" Now looking at Hoshi who's smiling smugly at her, "Yes."

"What am i supposed to take though?"

"That's for you to find out!"
