After the kiss, you stayed in Lance's arms in silence, just trying to process what was going on, you both stayed like for some time, his hands gently running through your hair, he kept his watch over you to make sure you were comfortable.

It really felt like you needed something like this.

"I'm sorry if this is made you feel uncomfortable, I may have acted out of turn there..." Lance said, you closed your eyes

"It's fine. Thank you..." your voice was barely audible

"Y/n...I know you like to keep things to yourself, but please learn to lean on others for help. Don't suffer by yourself, it isn't with it" He said softly, whilst rubbing your back gently

...

"Hmm" You just hummed, unable to say anything further

"I'm always here for you, just know that" He smiled down at you, you looked you at him with blurry eyes

A tear escaped

He gently wiped it away, giving your nose a gentle pinch now.

"Anna would definitely like you, you know" He let out a chuckle, you just smiled

"I would love to meet her" You said, he smiled down at you.

"I'm gonna let you have time alone, call me if you need anything" He said softly as he placed a soft kiss on your forehead.

After Lance had left, you were left sat on your own, your mind was lost as it raced back to moment ago. That kiss with Lance. It was all too magical and actually did a lot of healing. Warm tears were following down your face as you stared ahead.

"Why do you like me, Lance?" Your voice trailed off as you thought about it

"I'm not a pleasant person to love...I'm sorry..." You closed your eyes in frustration

''You're only going to get hurt in the end...'' You mumbled to yourself

After staying there for a while, you decided to just wonder through the corridors, your mind was obviously trailing back to the kiss with Lance, it was so sudden, but it warmed you up. It was sort like something you needed in that moment, any sort of gentle gesture, but your wish was granted in a unexpected way. On your way over, there was something else on your mind that you needed to do. You walked through and stood infront of the same place you randomly walked in. You pushed the door open and just to your expectations, Abel was there, with his creepy doll and a few others in the group. He looked over at you

''Oh...what do we have here?'' He said bluntly, with his usual stoic expression, you walked up to him, and could feel the eyes of the others on you

''I need to talk to you. Alone'' You said calmly.

''Tell your minions to leave'' You added further

''What makes you think you can walk in here whenever you like and expect me to abide by whatever you want to say. This isn't your turf, this is my turf'' Abel said stoically

''I don't care. It's about IZ and CW'' You said calmly, Abel's eyebrows furrowed slightly as if he was expecting something like that from you.

You were staring right into his eyes, just wanting time to speak to him. Eventually, he told the others to leave, just leaving you both there staring at each other.

''How do you...?'' His voice trailed off as he stared at you

''Not important right now'' You said calmly

''How did you find out?'' He asked with a smirk, you smirked back at him

''Ahh...just kinda guessed I guess...'' You shrugged your shoulders

''Has he made any contact with you?'' You asked, he shook his head

''Okay. Just be careful. I'll explain everything another day, but just know I'm not an enemy'' Was all you said before walking out, leaving Abel staring at you in surprise

...

''Energy cores...right?'' These words from Abel made you freeze in your steps, your eyes widening slightly

???

''Looks like I was right...they are after them...'' He said calmly

''But does he know that I have them?'' You asked calmly, although your back was facing him still

''No. Don't think so...'' He said

''Make sure it stays that way then. You utter a word and I will too.'' You warned him, giving him one final serious glance before taking off

"Interesting..."
