Lotus stared at the calendar and sighed soon Summer would be over. And it's back to school. Lotus walked over to the couch and laid on it. Picking up his favorite book he opened it to the chapter he was last on. Smiling to himself. He began to read. Their swords collided in the moonlight... but Allison wasn't about to give up. "Getting tired already, Allison? Mocked the cloaked figure. "Maybe you should take a break!" He shouted as he brought the sword forward. Allison jumped back and yelled back at him. "NEVER!"

"Come on Allison." Muttered cheer Lotus. Before he knew it. It was lunch already. Lotus managed to close the book. Even though he wanted to read more of it. Looking at the clock Lotus cursed at himself. It was 12 already? Suddenly his stomach growled at him.

"Yup, it's 12 alright."

Lotus made his way into the kitchen and opened the fridge. He found a microwaveable sans-witch (you see what I did...ok I'll stop) He took it out of the fridge to let it defrost. Setting up a timer to 5 minutes. He waited and waited for the sandwich to defrost. When the timer went off he was so hungry. He actually thought about eating it without microwaving it. But if his mom was here.

"Lotus what the F*CK?!" Geno yelled at him. "And WHY the F*CK would you EAT it if it isn't microwave?!"

Lotus could imagine that happening. Chuckling at the thought he decided to discard the idea. Placing the sandwich in the microwave he heated it up for 2 minutes. "Another waiting game." Thought Lotus as he watched the sandwich spin around in the microwave. Finally, after forever the sandwich was finished! Lotus yanked the handle so fast the entire microwave moved. Lotus brought the sandwich into the dining room and within minutes the sandwich was devoured. Not even a crumb was left behind. Lotus got up and noticed that Rurik had left his drawing notebook at the table. Picking it up Lotus thought about looking in the notebook.

"A tiny peak wouldn't hurt." Thought Lotus. Opening the drawing notebook he found a couple of disturbing drawing of dead bodies and stuff. He went further in the notebook and found a beautiful sketch of flowers. And he froze when he saw a drawing of himself. Lotus felt his face heating up. Rurik actually drew him? Lotus was shocked Rurik had secretly drawn him without his knowledge. He hadn't expected that. He really hadn't expected that. Flipping onto the next page he saw another sketch. It was another skeleton, and it looked awfully familiar to Rurik. This skeleton had a scarf, unlike Rurik. Lotus felt like he had seen this person before. Maybe in a dream? Lotus reached out and touched the sketch.

"Too familiar." Thought Lotus

Suddenly Lotus remembered where he had seen him before. No, he has met this person before.

*Flashback*

It was a chilly winter day. Lotus laid in bed covered in blankets. Letting out another cough Lotus mentally cursed at himself for not wearing a coat yesterday. And now he was sick with a horrible cold. Rurik was annoyed at Lotus for getting sick. Because now he had to take care of him. Lotus insisted that he was fine but what Rurik said made him want to strangle him.

"That's what sick people always say." mimicked Lotus as he stared at the ceiling. Lotus stared outside he had nothing better to do. After all, Rurik had placed his books out of his reach. Lotus closed his eyes and began to drift off into darkness. Waking up Lotus looked around the room his head was spinning now.

"Damn it...my cold got worse," whispered Lotus

Lotus noticed that it was now the evening and Rurik was nowhere in sight. Did he even come home yet? How far is it from the pharmacy again? Lotus couldn't think straight at the moment. Maybe he got into a fight. Suddenly he heard the front door open. Rurik was home! Lotus smiled to himself as he looked at the door. He heard Rurik making his way upstairs. Lotus tried to see clearly but to no avail, he couldn't make his eyes see clearly. Lotus heard the door slowly opened. He expected to see Rurik but to his, confusion Rurik looked different. Rurik was wearing a scarf now. Where did he get that scarf from? Did Rurik even have a scarf? He also noticed that Rurik had glitches around him, and his outfit had changed. Rurik looked at him and gave him a smile. Lotus got the chills from it. Rurik walked over to him and gave him a kiss, before rubbing Lotus head. Lotus felt sleep crept upon him once more.

*Flashback end*

Lotus was now sure that this skeleton was the same skeleton that he met on that winter evening. He would have to confront Rurik about this. Not to mention the drawing of himself in his notebook. Sighing Lotus made his way into his room. Not noticing the smiling figure by the window.
