Snippet #2744886

"Really? They brought it up at the front desk, so I thought...oh wait, you mentioned something about Astroius Academy?" Vyro said, as he then remembered something. "Right! They probably paid for it! And as for the camping....well, if they are not fine with it, I will convince them! I am sure I can persuade them....wait, wait...wrong! I am here to have a nice, peaceful, enjoyable life with Oniichan! Doing something like charging in like that is bad! I will just ask nicely instead. Asking nicely works here, right Oniichan?"

As he said that and led him into the room, however as Quintin looked though all the stuff and asked a question, Vyro found himself multi-tasking. He quickly took something out, and showed it to Quintin. "See! I remembered to rescue it!"

What Vyro was holding was the first instrument Quintin had ever owned, but was left behind when he fled the planet. There were other important things, including special objects from their past together with the stuff, but that was not all. And Vyro then led to the next topic.

"I thought I saw other students from the Academy wearing them...Oniichan, by any chance, was there a period where you zoned out and listened to music again? Anyways, even if the Academy paid for the trip here, there is gift shops, movies, food places, all get discounts. As for wearing something underneath...uhhh, I actually don't know?"

Vyro got a bit curious about this, and a mischevous smile appeared on his face. He darted out for a moment, raced down the hall, and then saw two people dressed just like him. And so, with ninja like stealth and movement, he quickly raced behind unnoticed, tugged there Yukatas back just enough to cause them to fall off without it looking too much like someone caused it, and raced back behind the corner. And what he saw...

He quickly raced back to Quintin, and shrugged his bare shoulders as he sighed with relief. He wasn't phased at all that Quintin was naked.

"It looks like its 50-50. One person was, and one was not. Well, they mostly want the Yukatas for the atmosphere, so I think underwear is okay...but, it also looks like people do it without. Really glad, now I don't feel as silly".

As he said that, he noticed that his own Yukata was starting to fall off from running and he started to fix it, although it was already clear he was not wearing anything under it already. But then, as the topic of food came up...his stomach made noises. Loud noises. And that made him a bit embarassed. With his excitement as well, he looked like a fluster of emotions and slipped up while looking at Quintin with teary eyes. He was quite adorable, no one would expect he was forced to become a soldier, and was made to kill people by age nine.

"Truly?! So then...I can really eat real food? Not those bars of condensed nuitrition and vitamins? Actual food? Real food? Really...Oniichan? FIrst...I find you safe...racing all the way here I even forgot to eat...after I was so worried since I heard meanieface might hire the greatest trackers, assassins, and warriors to bring you back and kill anyone and anything in the way. That they would even use me...to make you return, so I had to escape or worse so I couldn't be used. And I was so worried...I knew it wasn't true but they kept whispering it into my ear day after day...I was so worried you had left me because I had to kill people...I never believed it though...its just...I couldn't stop worrying about you..."

Vyro started to break out into tears of joy and sadness simultainously. It looked like all the stress had finally been released. It was unknown if Quintin realized it, though it was likely that he had at least a good idea of the truth, but Vyro had been totally unaware of the stress he acquired subconsciously. He never believed Quintin meant to leave him behind, but...Vyro had been beaten and tortured for the whole time after Quintin left. In truth, they really had planned to do that.

But even after all that, Vyro looked at Quintin with a smile.

"So...Oniichan...when we get back to this academy place...will you...will you let me join a band with you?"

Vyro had no idea that this moment would have a great influence on the future...but he knew that among all the things, they both shared a love for music.
