leaning into her touch , softest breath in . " uhm ... I shouldn't walk home with strangers ... "

" okay .. " there was something about the stranger . he couldn't get himself to refuse the help . chin dips , humming as he gestures down the street .

a glance down at the shadows by his feet , mildly startled . his shadow was completely devoured by the other . quick glance over his shoulder, expression softer than usual . " do you think you could uhm ... walk beside me instead? "

" uh huh . " his gaze still on their shadows . when he was able to see his own , he finally let her eyes . soft smile . " much . my place is a little far . are you sure you're okay with walking me home ? "

" mkay if you say so . " humming a light tune to one of his songs . arms swaying at his side .

frightening , but comfortable . hands sliding into pockets for warmth . It was quite cold outside , wasn't it . a small shiver , exhaling a chilling breath .

" a bit - oh ... " he jolts , surprised by the warm offer . " I think it's gonna be a little too big for me . " though , he stops in his tracks to wiggle it onto his small frame . " yea , definitely too big . " it draped over him like a dress .

" but what about you ? " he could melt into those eyes , that smile tugging at his own heartstring . ... what was left of his small heart anyway .

he watches , then slowly copies her action . opening his own arms , letting the cold breeze hit his throat . he hated it . slowly lowering his arms back down , shivering . " cold cold cold cold . "

" no , I really can't . " cheeks quickly flush , pouting up at the other . crossing the street . " I never really could. "

" really ? " brows raise , arms raising to hug his own frame for warmth . " could you maybe .. uhm . hold me while we walk then ? "

firm nod , wiggling against his frame . " good . " let's hope none of his members see him like this . they'd question who he was cuddled up to.

soft shake of his head . " I have five other roommates . " he was starting to get warmer . what a relief .

" yea , in a band . " how could she have known ? " cov3n . " soft mumbling , leaning his head against her chest.

had a dream I was in a lovely poly relationship . and I was stuck in the middle . then I found them cheating on me and I woke up . now i'm pissed .

... that wouldn't be so great . he had a few terrifying fans out there . borderline stalkerish . though , it wasn't anything he couldn't handle . " mhm .. " abruptly coming to a stop , gesturing towards the building to their right . " we're here . ~ "

he's been wandering for hours —— lost in the city . phone dead ... he was starting ti get sleepy . maybe a nap on a park bench will refuel him ...

screw the prophecy.

????? startled awake , whining —— chin rising ti glare up at his unwanted alarm . a few blinks until his vision finally clears , softening his gaze upon realizing who it was . " is this a nightmare? "
