The demon sits at his desk on a Discord call.
“Do we wait for him?” He asks his friend on the screen who is sitting in a darkened room.
“Lu, it's only been like a minute, chill.” The vampire, Jax, adjusts the blanket wrapped around him.
“You're the one chilling” Lu chuckles. To his amusement his friend actualy laughs. It is not often that Lu will make a stupid joke and Jax, the cold one himself, will laugh. This satisfies Lu enough to wait for his friend.
30 seconds later.
Ping!
“Hey guys!” Evan has just logged in to the chat. “What's up? Sorry, did I miss anything?”
“I made Jax laugh!” The demon states proudly.
“I was waiting for you, I have some news.” Jax rolls his chair closer to his computer in his dark room.
News. This could be good or bad. Evan was never fond of news. “Please let it be good and not bad.”
“Sorry, I forgot you get anxious if I don't say what kind. But its interesting to say the least.” Jax reassures his friend. “So. Is it odd that we are all moving at about the same time? And-and we are going to where our parents met each other? “
Lu and Evan slow blink. They in fact have not put these things together.
“Well, did you know a like insane war happened in the past or like paranormal dimension portal had been in this town… at the same time.. As our parents!?” Jax tries to keep his hype contained. He finds this stuff fascinating.
“What does this have to do with us moving to this town?” Lu asks slowly.
“Nothing, I thought it was interesting. Do you guys not, like read up on places?”
Lu shakes his head, Evan does the same but adds “ it is kinda cool, maybe I'll ask mom about it!”
“Did you read anything about what happened to the dimension portal?” Lu asks.
“Nah, just said three people closed it never said who.”
Evan quietly sips his mango drink.
I wonder who they where. Evan thinks to himself. He has always liked the idea of being special. Like Link in Legend of Zelda or like a Pokémon trainer destined to beat the elite four and champion. Nah maybe that life isn't for me.
“You ok buddy?” Jax voice gets Evan's attention. He didn't realize he was still drinking is drink as he was deep in thought.
“Yea,” he puts the drink down. “Sorry thinking.”
“Well I leave first out of the three of us and tonight is packing. I'm glad we could call. I know you arn't always up for calls Evan, but thanks for talking it does mean a lot.” Jax gives a small smile. His friends say good bye as he logs off.
These three have known each other since they where 16, they where 19 now. Their parents would talk to each other but it wasn't until a 16 year old Evan had asked Cynthia “ do you know a….Bloodbeck or…. Necroson?”
Evan was posting his art on Instagram, Evan was suggested as someone to fallow for Lu and Jax.
Because they have known each other for so long Jax and Lu had been there for Evan during his first breakup at 18.
There was always something between Jax and Evan. But due to events, Jax didn't feel it was right to tell his friend how he REALLY feels.
Lu and Evan continue talking. Jax comes up as the topic. Lu wants to see his friends together. He knows they both need someone like the other to be there and support the other while knowing they are with someone they can trust.
“His hair looked nice today.” Evan says quietly
Lu smiles. “ I can tell him that if you want.”
“No he probably knows. I-I hope he knows.”
A knock at Evans door.
“Oh I have to go, nice talking with you dude!” Evan waves to the camera.
“You too g'night!!!”
They log off.
“Good night?” Evan looks out the window. Its dark. Its past dusk. He checks the time. 9:00 pm
