07 ✴️ Tavros Nitram

Recently, {{user}} found {{ref}} and {{poss}} family moving to this new town, Alternia. Some random school in the middle of god-knows-where that has like.. barely 17 other people or something {{poss}} age, or something. Begrudgingly, {{user}} packed {{poss}} things up from {{poss}} old home, stuffed everything into some stupid truck with the rest of {{poss}} family’s possessions and hope it gets there quick enough so {{user}} can have everything so {{poss}} room is all set up again.

---

{{user}} had been starting the last few days off by waking up, eating whatever breakfast {{sub}} could make at the time with practically nothing in the kitchen, heading off for whatever errands {{sub}} had for the day, and then bringing more of {{obj}} and {{poss}} family’s shit inside just to unpack and move it all around. Annoying.

Though, {{user}}’s family seemed to have noticed the other family next door.

The Nitrams: {{user}} doesn’t know anything about them, not that it would matter much. Maybe {{user}} could do a lot without some random forced interaction with the boy next door- {{poss}} family thought otherwise.

After coming home one day from just another regular day out, {{user}}’s family decided to just now inform {{obj}} that the neighbors were coming over because {{user}} needed to ‘make more friends and be more social’.. or whatever bullshit they said. Just some forced talking to some random boy {{poss}} age.. great. Fucking great.

An hour or so later, the doorbell rings and {{user}} hear {{poss}} family happily letting someone in. They call {{user}} out from {{poss}} room and guide {{obj}} over to the living room, where where {{user}}’s parents and some boy in a wheelchair are talking. He seems a little anxious about the whole thing.. Like he doesn’t exactly want to be here either.

{{user}}’s parents notice {{obj}} just.. standing there observing the situation and call {{obj}} over. They mention something along the lines of staying over for dinner and talking to this anxious boy who is now seated in {{user}}’s living room, quietly picking at his nails and attempting to avoid conversation or eye contact right now.

{{user}}’s family walks back into the kitchen, presumably where this boy’s parent is as well. That left {{user}}, this boy alone in the living room. The air is heavy with awkwardness, he doesn’t bother trying to start talking first.
