Aidan nodded. “Yeah I actually agree with him on that one. We’re no different from anyone else at the Facility. There’s no way we’re part of some ancient prophecy.”

“But you are,” Bella stressed, “I’ve seen it! And my friends who are auras and visionaries say the same thing! Aidan you’re extremely powerful, and Lacey you have multiple abilities that, even though they take more energy to use and you can’t use them all that often, you’re able to help Aidan on his mission.”

Aidan looked back at Lachy, less unsure than he had been a moment ago. He didn’t know what to believe. This still all seemed so crazy but it certainly explained a few things. Like how Lachy had caught his eye right from the start.

The man sighed, "We'll explain more on the way. However I'm Gareth, obviously that's Bella and that's Sasha," He pointed to the other woman, "Sasha and I are two of the main leaders in this rebellion, so you'll be working closely with us and our team."

“Okay..it’s nice to meet you all.” Now that all his questions had been answered, he could drop his whole angry aggressive bitchy act. He visibly got less tense too. He was now pretty much completely sure that this wasn’t a trap.

"You as well," Gareth offered a smile, "Right, let's keep moving. We'll stop at nightfall to make camp." He nodded to the two teens, turning on his heel to keep walking.

Aidan looked down at Lachy, mouthing out a quick ‘you okay?’ That had been a lot of information to process at once, especially that they were both supposedly part of the prophecy.

(Nuu :( jokes on him though since they'll fall in love.. eventually)

Lachy nodded quickly, maybe a little too quickly for it to be convincing. This was so insane. All of it. And quite frankly a little overwhelming. He sighed, giving Aidan a look that conveyed the same question.

((Yep lol))

He didn’t really believe Lachy’s answer but didn’t have time to think about it before Lachy asked him the same question. He hesitated for a second before merely shrugging, that was the closest he could get to describing his feelings.

(Sorry, had a bit of a bad day)

He sighed, looking back to the path ahead. They walked for the rest of the day. Only stopping once or twice for a drink break and something small to eat. Night fell pretty quickly and Gareth decided now was a good time to set up camp. They found a small cave system, setting down their supplies and starting a fire.

((Damn sorry to hear that))

Aidan was pretty much exhausted. It’s not like they could really exercise that much when they were at the Facility, so even just a little bit of physical activity was strenuous. But Aidan would continue to stay close to Lachy. He didn’t really trust these people yet. Also, having Lachy close to him soothed him, and just felt right.

Physical activity wasn't something Lachy was great at. He always said it was because he was too weak which was party true but also because he hated moving unless necessary. When they got to the cave he sat down, maybe a little further away from the fire then he should but he didn't care, too tired to do so.

Aidan wasn’t clinging to him but he was definitely trailing very close behind him like an obedient dog. He yawned widely. “So fuckin’ tired…” he mumbled. He sat down next to Lachy, absentmindedly leaning his head on his shoulder.

Lachy sighed softly, patting Aidan on the leg, "Me too. You should rest Mr Hero of the entire world." He replied quietly, the tiniest hint of a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

He let out a long sigh. “Don’t make me think about that Mr side kick to the hero of the entire world, the idea of that stresses me out.” He replied, unable to repress the small smile that also appeared on his own face.

He giggled softly, nudging the other gently, "Don't think about it then. Just go to sleep. I don't think the adults are really gonna care if we have at last a couple hours."

“You should rest up too. I have a feeling we’re gonna need it.” He shifted closer to Lachy, yawning again. Aidan had a pretty high body temperature, I guess from his fire powers and stuff, so even though they were far from the fire, they’d both be warm.

For the first time since Lachy had found out about Aidan's powers, he was actually glad of them. Only because the warmth the other gave off was enough to fight off the chill of the wind. He closed his eyes, leaning against Aidan.

Aidan couldn’t help but feel much more content when the other leaned up against him. He happily let his own eyes slide shut. He had finally figured out his feelings. How being around Lachy felt so natural. How just seeing him smile was enough to reassure Aidan that everything would be okay. The need to always have Lachy at his side or at least within sight. He knew what they meant now. They were all just because of the prophecy. ‘Without the prophecy..is there anything left between us?’ It was with this thought that he fell asleep.

By the time morning came, Lachy had practically curled up in Aidan's lap, head resting there and sleeping peacefully for the first time in months. Even though a part of him didn't want to be so at ease around Aidan he was, and he was slightly grateful for it.

Aidan had slept soundly. And when he woke up in the morning, he couldn’t help but feel happy that Lachy was there. He quickly pushed the thought away. “Good morning” he whispered, gently starting to run his fingers through the other’s hair.

(Just a heads up, I'm going away four the next four days and won't be on much)

Lachy stirred, blinking sleepily and letting out a happy little purr of sorts as he felt Aidan play with his hair, "Morning," He whispered back, "How'd you sleep?"

((Okay, thanks for the heads up))

He smiled softly. “I slept pretty well considering we’re in a cave.” He responded quietly, laughing softly to himself. He actually had though, still no dreams or nightmares.

Lachy huffed a laugh, rolling over slightly so he could looked up at Aidan, "That's good. I have a feeling we'll be traveling for the next few days. Best to keep your strength up."

“Yeah you’re probably right. You make sure to keep your strength up too, okay?” He smiled gently down at the other. He ruffled Lachy’s hair with a teasing grin, purposefully making it look messy.

Lachy snorted, patting Aidan's hand away with a small pout, "What strength? I have no strength look at me I look like I've been plucked off a tiny tree."

Aidan laughed, it was big and genuine, and he looked so much more happier when he did it. Lachy could probably notice the difference, all of the barriers that Aidan usually kept up were gone for that brief period. “Well I’m not gonna carry you the whole way so you’re gonna have to figure something out.”

((Yes I did spend three lines describing his laugh because Aidan is a precious boi))
((also because Aidan’s going to slowly become less aggressive so yeahhhh))

(we claps stan claps the claps future claps angst claps)

Lachy smiled, more so grinned up at Aidan. A part of him wished, no wanted to hear that laugh more often, "Don't worry, I know big guy. I'll… figure it out somehow even if it means moving some thigh muscle to my arms."
