(Anyways, let’s continue)
(So, should they meet up again, because if not, then I dont know what to do with Uriah.)
(Well I thought to let Zoe, Luna, and Alex continue with their mission. Once they come back, Uriah, krista and Sparrow will go in their mission. They come back after a few weeks and then I’ll do the time skip.)
(I was going to have Uriah stay back for the year timeskip, then come back after that year.)
(Maybe they all go and sparrow comes back early? Maybe that’s when they realize their better off as friends?)
(That works.)
(Lol)
(Honestly, I'm going to miss the Sparrow and Uriah thing, even if it hasn't been long.)
(We can do a one on one if you want lol)
(Yeah sounds good! I'm usually up really late and most people aren't on. I'm sure you're like an hour ahead of me though.)
Laughs because I’m like… 12 hours or something ahead of you all… aha, go the Southern Hemisphere)
(Lmao I’m up right now so we can)
(I might not be on a whole lot today because I'm going to the lake but I'll try and answer once in a while. Do you want to make or do you want me?)
(Maybe you)
(Okay it's up.)
Laughs because I’m like… 12 hours or something ahead of you all… aha, go the Southern Hemisphere)
("Southern Hemisphere." Don't even. it hasn't been above 20 C since the first week or two of August. I'm not ready to spend the winter boiling in a classroom.)
(Wait… are you in Australia?)
(No, not in the least. Canadian. I was lamenting the loss of summer. Especially since BC decided to burn and cause severe air toxicity for at least a week.)
(Ah, Alright then)
Cyrus jumped back down into the bunker, fuming. He ran to the kitchen and started washing blood off the back of his hand from where he had punched the tree. He tried to flex his hand, but the knuckles were stiff, probably badly bruised from both punching Uriah and then the tree.
Eira looked up and walked into the kitchen. She walked up and hugged Cyrus from behind, “Everything Alright?”
"Nope. Not at all. I keep making everything worse," Cyrus muttered. He got one of the med kits out and rubbed a little alcohol over the wound. It burned, and he winced a bit.
“How are you making things worse?” She asked, making Cyrus face and look down at her.
"I saw them… I-I saw them kiss…" Cyrus managed, "Sparrow ignored me, and Uriah stopped to talk to me. He said to punch him- probably didn't mean it- but I took him up on his offer. I don't know what to feel, and I should probably just distance myself. Let them go on that mission. Ugh… I'm not sure anymore. I'm about ready to just give up."
He kept working on his hand, eventually pulling out bandages and wrapping it up. Blood spread out in the first thin layer of bandages, so he tightened them and layered a little more over it.
"But that's not important. Any sort of luck here?"
“Cyrus, don’t ‘that’s not important me’ how long have we known known each other? Don’t say you want to give up, please don’t.” Eira said gently.
"I have nothing left but you," he sighed, "I'm so thankful you're still my friend after all of this."
Zelda jumped up on the table in front of him and meowed. Cyrus almost started sobbing right there. He could feel his whole body shudder as he suppressed the tears. He couldn't do this in front of Eira. He couldn't break yet again.
“I could never leave you, never stop being your friend. I know… I know since the whole thing with Alex we haven’t spent as much time together and that’s saying something since we’re stuck here but…” She gave her oldest friend a warm smile, “I couldn’t leave you, Cy. Not ever.”
Cyrus was shaking. He did his best to steady his breathing enough to say, "Thank you…"
He placed his good hand on Zelda's head in order to calm himself, but it wasn't working very well. There was very little calm left in him after all of this.
“You don’t need too.” She said quietly, wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging him tightly.
And that's exactly when the dam Cyrus had built holding back all of his sadness burst. It started as a few tears, but before he knew it, he was sobbing. Cyrus bent over the table in front of him, covering his face to hide it from Eira.
