"If we can get our shit together then yes." He replied, sighing softly, "If we can even… lead all these people."

“Yeah….I think we can. We just gotta work together. Plus, prophecies are essentially unchangeable right? We’ll win at some point, it’s just a matter of how long it takes, and how many lives it costs.”

The thought of how many lives could be lost. How many innocent people, how many people like him and Aidan could be lost sent Lachy's stomach twisting, "I suppose you're right. Who do you think even came up with this whole prophecy thing?"

He shrugged. “I have no idea. Do you think they were like us? That would kinda make sense I guess…Either way, we’re gonna be okay. We can do this.”

Lachy nodded, even though there was still a sliver of doubt in him, "Hopefully. But still… I've never fought a day in my life! I couldn't even-" He paused, then spoke again, "I'm too small and skinny to go up against some of the people at the Facilities."

“Well that’s why you have me right? I’m the brawn you’re the brain.” He said with a small chuckle. “I’ll make sure nothing happens to you.”

He rolled his eyes, though there was a small smile on his face, "What if you're not there, though? What if I can't use my power and you're not there?"

“I’m always gonna be there.” He said, almost sounding offended by the notion. “We’ll never be too far away from each other.”

"But you don't know that, Aidan. You- You can't promise me that when this whole situation is just batshit crazy." Lachy replied.

“I wasn’t promising anything. I just told you I’d do my best. And my best typically ends up working out.” His hand drifted over to Lachy’s and he squeezed it gently. “It’s going to be okay.”

Lachy was about to take his hand away, knowing that it might not be right to do so, but decided to leave it there. He still had his doubts, so he just nodded instead, falling quiet.

After a second, Aidan let go of his hand, not wanting to make Lachy uncomfortable. He didn’t say anything else, just enjoying the silence.

After a few moments, Lachy scooted closer, resting his head on Aidan's shoulder. If he was asked to move he would, but he guessed he needed the comfort right now.

Aidan didn’t ask him to move. In fact, he brought his hand up to the side of Lachy’s head, gently holding him there. It felt nice, pretty much natural.

(lolol I know what you mean though)

Lachy couldn't help the faint smile that crossed his features, letting his eyes close. He liked this, more then he should. Making connections, more then friendship, was deadly.

((Oh thank god lmao))

For once, Aidan’s brain didn’t shut down, or get overwhelmed with negativity. Instead, it was quiet and peaceful. He let himself enjoy the moment, his hand tangled in Lachy’s hair, and Lachy’s head on his shoulder. He smiled softly. He liked this.

Lachy almost purred with content, however he managed to cover it with a sigh instead. He blushed softly, enjoying the attention and the comfort that radiated off of Aidan in the moment. If only life could be this peaceful.

Aidan would stay like this for a few more minutes, happy having Lachy close to him. It made him feel so peaceful. If this is what happened whenever he stopped being angry or stopped shutting people out, he really liked what resulted from it.

But, all things have to come to an end. Even though Lachy wanted to stay like that for hours on end, people started to look over, and rumors was something they didn't need right now. So he pulled away.

Aidan let him pull away but he really didn’t want him to go. But he knew as well as Lachy did that rumors were something they didn’t want. “Do you wanna go back inside? Or would it be better for us to stay out here?”

Lachy shrugged a shoulder. It might be best if they headed inside, just so people would stop staring at them. Just knowing people were looking made his skin crawl, "Inside. Just for now."

He nodded, standing up. He offered Lachy a hand up, just to be polite and then he realized that might look a bit too suspicious, but left his hand out for Lachy regardless.

Lachy took his hand, however as soon as he was standing he let go. He mumbled a thank-you before heading inside the house.

Aidan followed Lachy inside, honestly still wanting to be around him. He closed the door behind them with a loud sigh. “Hopefully we didn’t end up starting too many rumors….”
