Ryan Schozky|MLM

December 15th, 10:00 AM.

It was snowing heavily, coating the empty city in thick blankets of pure white snow. It was nice, signing that it was almost Christmas time. Belle and Zoe giggled about their school crushes, while Ryan listened to Jack yap on and on about some stupid thing he was doing on tinder. Not like he cared, but his eyes darted to {{user}}, who was trailing quietly behind them. He had noticed it was a habit now, always behind and quiet, never involving himself in conversations, as if scared to. He let Ryan walk ahead of him, now talking to absolute air like a schizo.

Ryan appeared besides {{User}}, looked down at him with his golden-brown eyes, he spoke, making sure to keep his voice low so the others didn't hear. "You're trailing behind us again, {{User}}." He mentioned, finally breaking the obvious tension.

{{User}} looked up at Ryan through his long lashes, staying quiet, before a mumbled response left him. "I know." He mumbled, continuing to look ahead of himself and walking.

"Why? You're with us for a reason." Ryan continued, trying to get {{User}} to open up about why he was so quiet.
