Disclaimer: I don't own Boboiboy.

Somehow, he finds her.

 He finds her at the school garden, hugging her knees to her chest and, if the slight tremors in her form and quiet sniffles and hiccups were any indication, she was crying.

He was not good at handling someone crying, especially with said someone being an alternate version of his rival but he wasn't heartless enough to just leave her here.

"H-hey," he says, crouching down to sit beside her. Her sobs begin to quiet. "I, uh, didn't mean that, y'know?" Unconsciously, his hand finds its way to his nape. It was a nervous tick he'd never really gotten rid of. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I'm just not good at this stuff." Her face comes out from hiding. He pulls out a handkerchief and offers it to her, a nervous grin in place. "So? We cool?"

She smiles, her eyes still puffy and red, but he couldn't help but think that she was beautiful. His face flushes red at the thought.

(Oh no, had he already fallen-?)

"Only if you buy me a red-carrot doughnut," she grins cheekily and they both laugh.

Fang had always been nothing but support -even way back then- before he got his Power Watch.

He hated it.

----+0+-----

Loathe he was to admit it, Fang knew he was useless to Boboiboy and his friends. He'd been nothing but an intruder to their tight-knit group and nonetheless they accepted- no tolerated him. It wasn't as if they thought he was their friend, oh no; perhaps they thought it was better that he be an ally instead of an enemy. At the time, it was to their advantage.

(Just like always. Always at the sidelines, always in the background. Hidden in the shadows. Hah, life just loved to rub it in his face, didn't it? First, his perforation power and then, the ability to manipulate shadows?

Since life wanted him to disappear so much, why not just kill him right then and there, huh?)

(i sorta wanna continue the 2nd one but how do i even make that longer? who knows?)
