Nodding a little, Melissa started gnawing on her bottom lip. "That still doesn't make me any more reassured…" She mumbled glancing over to him. "Though why do you feel guilty?"

"Well, isn't it kinda my fault that they were fighting? I dunno… I just… I feel bad…" Lucas sighed, running his fingers through his hair.

Melissa frowned a little, sliding off the couch and sitting on the floor. "I really don't know. I wish I could give you more, but I really don't know." She told him softly, resting her head back and looking over to him.

Lucas shrugged, staring at the ceiling. "I guess we'll find out eventually, yeah?" He sighed quietly and closed his eyes.

Melissa sighed weakly, giving him a soft look. "Yeah… is there anything I can do to make you feel better?" She offered in a light tone.

"Eh… probably not. I'll get over it eventually. We should look for stuff for the pen, though."

“I can go do it. You can stay here, with Cody.” Melissa hummed softly, sitting up enough to kiss him. “I’d rather not wake him up.”

"Alright, Mel…" Lucas returned the kiss and sighed. "I'll see you soon, then." He pet Cody gently.

“It should only take me a couple of seconds. I’ll be right back.” Melissa hummed softly, starting up the stairs. Coming up to the closet, she pulled the door open with a light sigh. There were a few boxes- but on the top shelf. And she had a feeling they would be heavy. Gathering whatever strength she had, she slowly started to pull one of the boxes off the shelf.

Lucas hummed softly to himself while he waited for Melissa to return, gently scratching behind Cody's ears. The puppy yawned a bit and snuggled closer to Lucas.

Melissa groaned a little, the box seemingly caught on something. "Come on, why won't you-" As she was muttering under her breath, the box came loose when she gave it a decent tug. Slipping from her hands, the box made a decent thud on the floor, and Melissa gasped in surprise jerking away from the place it lay on the floor.

Lucas jolted up when he heard a loud this. "Melissa? You okay? What happened?" He called out worriedly, ready to get up if she didn't reply.

After a couple of seconds of shakiness, she picked up the box and let out a soft sigh. "I'm alright- just dropped the box." She called out, starting down the stairs. "It startled me, that's all."

"Are you sure? Do you need help?" He asked nervously. "You're not hurt or anything, right?"

"No, I'm fine." Melissa mumbled, bringing the box over to the couch. "I didn't mean to worry you. The boxes are just heavy. I can do it, though."

Lucas nodded, still not seeming entirely reassured. "What's in them that's making them so heavy?" He asked.

"Not sure," Melissa started, tipping the box to see if there was any writing. When she didn't find anything, she started to pull the flaps open. "It's probably some kind of stuff of my parent's."

"Mm… are we supposed to be messing with it, then?" He asked, curiously watching Melissa open the box.

"Dunno." Melissa hummed, brow furrowing as she looked through it. Pulling out one of the books, she felt a smile pull up. "I think it's fine. It's got a lot of stuff from when I was little."

Lucas smiled gently as well, relaxing somewhat. "What else is in there?" He asked, sitting up a bit to watch.

Melissa handed the scrapbook she was holding over to him, starting to riffle through the box. "Look like me and Gabriel's elementary yearbooks. There's some tapes in here- from Christmas and birthdays."

Lucas flipped through the scrapbook, still smiling softly. "Mm… I wonder if there's a box like this buried somewhere in my house?"

"We could always go look, if you wanted to. But we don't have to." Melissa hummed, pulling out her third grade yearbook.

"Eh… maybe someday. I'm not ready to go back there yet." Lucas sighed, holding Cody close to his chest.

Nodding a little, Melissa walked around and sat next to him on the couch. "Just thought I'd offer."

Lucas nodded as well and rested his head against Melissa's shoulder. "Mm… I love you, Mel…" He said softly.

"I love you too…" Melissa hummed softly, resting her head against his. After a couple of seconds, a smile broke out as she flipped the page. "Look, it's you! You were so cute~"

Lucas flushed a bit as he looked at the picture of him and Melissa as kids. He looked so… happy back then. He examined it consideringly, humming a bit to himself.

Melissa gently ran her fingers over the pictures, keeping up a little smile. It was strange how vividly she could remember that day. "You know, I think I would give about anything to be a little kid again. Everything was so much easier."

"Yeah…" Lucas sighed softly. "It would definitely be a lot more fun. We couldn't really be dating when we were six, though." They'd still be alive.
