| All this happened, more or less. |

【 THIRD PERSON's POINT OF VIEW 】

An ash-blonde woman put her black sunglasses on as the plane she rode landed safely. She's currently in the airport, pushing her baggage with sleepy eyes. No matter how she tried to sleep on the plane, it just won't work. She felt uncomfortable sleeping on planes and she will never blame the coffee for waking her senses.

Her mom called her last night telling her she should visit her once she gets back in the country. She sighed as she remembers how she couldn't win an argument to her mom. She felt excited because even if she won't admit it, she misses her. The only thing constant in this world, her mom.

After getting a cab and sitting comfortably in the back, she reminded herself not to sleep. She opened her bag as she examined the small card with a glinting golden trim, their names printed in the middle, large and bold letters written in cursive.

"Please join us for the wedding of Kassius Ohno & Eva Marie," the card reads, complete with an orange bow wrapped around the bottom, bringing everything together.

Ms. Eva probably picked that out. She always liked red but Mister Kassius Ohno likes yellow so it must be mixed with their favorite colors. Ms. Eva's going to marry Mr. Kassius Ohno, their professor in Literature in high school. Who would've thought, right? Everyone's pairing her with Sir. Corey. She coincidentally saw Ms. Eva in Paris a month ago, they chatted a bit as she gave her an invitation. Toni Storm called her two days ago telling her to return home in able to attend Ms. Eva Marie's wedding. She wasn't supposed to attend since she's busy at her work but since her high school teacher Ma'am was the one who invited her, she just couldn't refuse.

Besides, it'll be fun to reunite with everyone once again.

When the cab passed through a familiar park, there's only one person who crossed her mind. It's been years since the last time she talked to her ex-boyfriend. Their last conversation was on High school graduation. Even if they attended the same university in college, they took different courses and rarely see each other.

Even their mini circle rarely hangs out together, she's glad Matthew keeps pestering them. Speaking of Matthew, he keeps throwing tantrum via video call because she couldn't attend his birthday last week. She already booked a flight but as disastrous as it was, it got canceled. She attended Keith and Mia as well as Dream and Bianca's wedding though. Well, they forced her to go home, scolding her that being workaholic isn't healthy.

"Stop," She uttered as the driver stopped his cab.

"Umm, can you deliver my stuff on the address that I gave you? Just blow the horn two times and my mom will pay you," She instructed as the driver nodded his head.

"Thank you."

She walked towards the bench and sat in there. She felt nostalgic all of a sudden, roaming her eyes to people who are riding bikes and having fun.

She wonders if he's doing alright. She closed her eyes, trying to remember their last conversation.

"So about our relationship, I hope you already accepted and move on."

"I just have one question, Rhea."

"Go on,"

"When we're dating each other, is there a part of you that loved me?"

She chuckled at the thought, obviously. Heck, she wouldn't even kiss him if she doesn't.

She vows to herself that whenever she's speaking with him, she'll always stay true. After all, there's no point to deny or lie to him.

"Of course. Even if we spend a short span of time together, I did fell for you."

Adam gives her a very familiar smile.

She pinched the bridge of her nose as she felt a headache coming back. Look at her being demanding, telling her ex to move on but here she is who couldn't face the truth. She's stuck and aware that she left her heart in the graduation arena. He probably moved on, it's Adam Cole who's love by everyone despite that personality.

Rhea Ripley saw the fountain suddenly released its water, she snorted at the memory. She remembers it well.

They kissed in the middle of that fountain on their last date together. It was supposed to be a happy ending but fairy tales don't exist in real life. She told him the truth because guilt is eating her up. Thinking back, she's such a villain for antagonizing Adam's love life. If she didn't pry, he would've probably dating Toni Storm then, until now. After all, they fit together.

"absence makes the heart grow fonder"

No matter what she says or does. No matter how many times she denies it, she misses him so much.

Epilogue~!!

[Eva Marie's wedding / reception]

In the time it takes Adam Cole to read the card, he already decides he's not going. He's busy at work and he refuses to put himself through that kind of torture, it's more like the former than the latter. It's not like he hates reunion, in fact, it's not one but it seems like one. Even if it's been years since he's seen everyone together in the same room, not that he's missed them. He just doesn't have time.

Besides, he keeps in contact with a few of his old classmates, and by few, he means he keeps in contact with the Undisputed Bullies even after college and sometimes Candice LeRae and Toni Storm.

"Why aren't you going!" Roderick exclaims through the phone. He doesn't have to say much for Adam to know what he's talking about.

Adam scowls, "Because I don't wanna. I'm tired and I still have paper works to do. Got a problem with that?"

"Uh, yeah. Everyone was invited – and I mean everyone. Even Pete Dunne, dude."

Adam rolls his eyes as he snorted, "Your point is?"

"How would you look if Pete Dunne is there and you aren't?" Roderick says, clicking his tongue in a disapproving manner. "You know everyone is gonna ask about you."

"So?" Frankly, Adam Cole couldn't care less about everyone's opinions on his whereabouts. It's none of their business.

"Besides!" Roderick shouts and Adam has to move the phone away from his ear a bit. "It's your favorite teacher's wedding."

Adam raises an eyebrow. "Huh? Why the hell does that matter?"

"I mean... I thought..." Roderick trails off and is uncharacteristically quiet for a few moments. Adam is about to hang up on him when he mutters, "This is about her, right? Your ex-girlfriend?"

Everything is silent. Adam can hear the blood rushing through his veins. He closes his eyes as he calms his nerve, he grumbles, "What the hell are you talking about, Roddy?"

"It's been almost seven years. How long do you plan on avoiding her?" Roderick's tone is considerably softer. It does nothing but pisses Adam off.

"Shut up! I'm not avoiding anyone. You don't know what the hell you're talkin' about." And it's true. He's not actively avoiding Rhea, their paths just don't cross very often is all.

The last time he remembers seeing her was at the Eiffel Tower in Paris a month ago. And that's recent. He stopped by after work, his co-workers told him to visit the place before leaving it. She was busy calling someone on the phone, smiling like she never smiled before and she didn't notice Adam walk in front of her. He didn't bother to say anything to her.

She looked the same as she did in high school. Same short ash-blonde hair, same badass personality, still had those mesmerizing eyes that he couldn't take his eyes off no matter what. Nothing had changed. Not even his feelings.

"Listen, I'm not gonna force you to come." Roderick's voice brings Adam back to the present. "Just like how I didn't force you to confess that your feelings haven't changed towards her despite learning what she did to you all those years ago which I am now regretting," he adds, quickly mumbling the words under his breath.

"Eh–!"

"But!" Roderick cuts Adam off before he has to chance to threaten him. "She's happy." Adam flinches.

"Shouldn't that be enough?"

He'll never admit it, but those words are why he finds himself sitting in a golden reception hall at a rounded table with Roderick, Bobby, Kyle, Marina, Tegan, and Taynara.

The ceremony was short, but maybe that's because Adam Cole found himself zoning out for most of it. It was easy when the officiant droned on and on about commitment and some sappy love bullshit, and leave it to Mr. Kassius to have eight pages worth of vows. If it weren't for Kyle who constantly sniffling and blowing his nose, he's sure he would've fallen asleep.

With his hands in his pockets and his back slumped in his chair, he lets his eyes wander around the reception hall. It's a swanky venue, with high ceilings and string lights hanging from the walls and weaving around ornamental columns. The lights are dim which generates a dreamy glow and a relaxed atmosphere. The guests are seated at tables on the floor while Ms. Eva and Mr. Kassius sit at a table on a platform near the front of the room, a spotlight shining down on them and bouquets of lilies surrounding them.

He stared to roam his eyes to search for someone. He told himself he wouldn't stare, and he did a damn good job during the ceremony, but he lets his eyes land on her for a minute and he can't tear them away.

The theme of their ex-teachers was orange. Her dress is orange sleeveless, she's no longer wearing a choker, instead of a golden necklace wrapped around her neck. Her hair is pinned up in a bun, not messy but a few stray curls as it frame her beautiful face. Her diamond earrings are dangling and glinting every time she turns her head. She's laughing at something Toni Storm is saying and her eyes are shimmering.

Fuck. She looks so happy.

"Right, Adam?"

Adam whips his head around to find Roderick smirking at him. "What?"

"We were just talking about Matt Riddle and Dakota. I can't believe they're a thing, not too long ago, she hated him." Kyle says.

"And they're sitting right over there!" Bobby points, chuckling. "Doesn't Dakota likes Mr. Orton?"

Tegan noticed eyes on her as she giggles, "She used to. I've talked to Dakota last week and she told me that she's no longer in love with Sir. Orton. Thinking back, she's so loyal to him."

"You have a point. It's kind of hard not to admire him, he's hot stuff," Taynara says earning a glare from Kyle.

"What?"

"Why'd you call my name?" Adam glowers at Roderick.

"Because Tegan said that Dakota and Matt love story started at war," Roderick snickers as Adam rolled his eyes. Tegan frowns. "The way how they started and looked at them ending up...."

"So I said that's one thing you and Matt Riddle have in common." Roderick claps a hand on Adam's shoulder. "You both fell for the person who hates you!" The table erupts in laughter. Adam shrugs Roderick's hand off his shoulder and grabs his wrist, twisting it enough to make him squirm. "You think that was funny, Roddy?" "Haha! Feels like we're back in high school!" Kyle jokes, taking out his phone to snap a picture of his two bickering ex-classmates. "Some things never change," Taynara sighs.

"Attention! Attention, everyone!" A booming voice echoes throughout the venue. Immediately, people start to quiet down. The noisy chattering dies down to low murmurs. "I'd like to make a toast!"

Everyone's eyes land on Walter, standing in front of his chair with his champagne glass raised high and towards a couple of the hour. "May you both prosper in your marriage and in your careers! I think I speak for everyone when I say it's been an honor watching you both develop into a loving family...To our high school teachers, Mr. Kassius Ohno, and Mrs. Eva Marie! Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!" The reception hall repeats in a chorus of loud voices. A round of applause follows the cheer, everyone laughing and praising Walter for his speech. Adam Cole found himself searching for someone and when he did, he no longer wasted a damn second as he walked towards her.

--

"Be careful, Rhea bro!" croaked one of her friends, with long blond hair, pulled back in a low ponytail and blue eyes, "You don't want to fall...again."

"What in the world are you saying, Matthew?" Rhea replied, snorting but smiled reassuringly to her friend. Rhea Ripley was a twenty-six-year-old architect and a very workaholic woman. Even if she didn't consider herself a remarkable beauty, her friends know she is one. She swept back a piece of her ash-blonde hair behind her earlobe, just to have it fall out again.

"I saw you glancing at your ex-boyfriend, bro," Matt Riddle replied doing his favorite move as he pranced around. Rhea shook her head dismissively, "It's the first time I saw him, of course, I'll stare beside it doesn't mean anything. Also, stop bringing it up just because I didn't attend your birthday."

"On my next birthday, you should attend it or I'll bring my birthday to wherever you are bro, whether you're at home or work," Matt Riddle laughed, and Rhea Ripley doesn't know if her friend's joking or not.

"I gotta get a drink first," Matt Riddle pointed out the table full of champagne as Rhea nodded her head.

"Well well well, if it isn't our workaholic friend, Rhea." A voice suddenly speaks up, with black hair wearing his three-eyed shades even in a wedding, who had his arms wide open, "Dream almost forgot you exist because you're busy at your work."

"I missed you too, Dream," Rhea answered back as she hugged her friend. Dream patted her head, "You know if you need help at some things, don't hesitate to call us. We're just one call away."

"I appreciate that," Rhea muttered as she's about to let go of him when Bianca Belair joined the hug, "Uh uh! Why didn't no one informed me that you came back?! I was surprised just a while ago, I almost fell on the seat." The three laughed in unison.

"But how come you leave me on group hugs?" Mia Yim called out as she caught their attention.

"Come here and join us, HBIC!" Dream invited as the blue-haired woman shook her head, smirking but joining the hug.

"HEY HEY HEY! LEMME JOIN IN!" Toni Storm yelled making almost everyone in the reception stared at them. All of them rolled their eyes at their valedictorian.

"Don't push me, Toni," Mia Yim hissed but the ash-blonde woman just shrugged, spreading her arms as she joined.

"The whole squad is finally complete?" Dream smiled as she saw the girls hugging him.

Matt Riddle noticed them as he excitedly yelled, "BROOOOOO!" He ran to them to join but he accidentally pushed them, causing his friends to fell on the ground.

"You're really an idiot, Matthew!" Rhea scolded their friend who keeps laughing at the sudden action.

"I feel like I'm the ball in the bowling," He joked around earning him a glare from the girls.

Dream rolled his eyes as he helped Bianca and Mia to stand up. Matt Riddle, on the other hand, helped Toni Storm. Rhea was about to stand up when a hand offered to help her.

She perked up and her eyes went widen in surprise.

"What's wrong? It feels like you've seen a ghost, Rhea," The man joked as he patiently waiting for her to take his hand. Rhea blinked multiple times before she accepted it.

The man with long brown hair in a bun and gorgeous crystal blue eyes staring at her brown eyes.

"Thank you," Rhea softly muttered.

"Long time no see, Adam Cole!" Dream excitedly greeted as he keeps winking at Rhea Ripley who's now scowling at him.

Bianca huffed, elbowing Dream at his stomach, "I'll be taking Dream since we have an important thing to discuss."

"We're going back to our table, Rhea," Mia announced softly as she nodded at Adam and pushed Matt Riddle lightly to make him move.

"C'mon," Rhea uttered, her eyes daring to her friends, who definitely have no intention but she couldn't help but think that they planned this.

Toni clasped her hands together, "I spotted a dish that I wanted to eat back there so I'll be going as well. It's nice to see you again, Adam. Bye Rhea!"

She didn't wait for them to reply as she dashed through the food tables.

Rhea turned her attention back to Adam Cole who now has an amused look on his face, "What's with you?"

Adam glanced at Rhea as he bites his lower lips, "What? When you're staring at me, I didn't get mad or anything. In fact, I didn't complain."

"Who said I'm sta--" Rhea began, cutting herself off as she saw him shake his head.

"I told you, I can feel it whenever someone's staring at me," Adam clamored, leaning forward with a wide grin.

Rhea face fell for a brief moment before she began to smile at him, "How can you tell?"

"Just a feeling, a nostalgic feeling," He replied, aware of the fact that she's not denying it.

Rhea sighed, staring back at him, "You know... it's been years since the last time I saw you...when are you going to let go?"

Adam's face flushed red as he waved his other hand in a dismissive fashion, "D-don't get the wrong idea, Rhea. Just because I helped you today, that doesn't mean that I still have feelings for you."

Rhea rolled her eyes playfully, enjoying the moment of teasing Adam Cole, "My hand...when will you let go of my other hand?"

Adam's mouth turned up in an embarrassed grin, twitching slightly as he did, "You should've told me that first, Rhea."

"Yeah right, now when will you?" Rhea asked once more but Adam doesn't seem like he's going to let go of his hand as he even dares to intertwine it with Rhea's hands.

"Who knows?" Adam asked skeptically, pressing his lips together to hide a smile.

Rhea huffed, rolling her eyes, "I'm not used at wearing heels, my feet are killing me."

"You should've said sooner," Adam mused as he pulled Rhea towards the table. Adam grabbed a paper bag as they started walking. Hand-in-hand.

They end up in a hallway that seems never-ending until they arrive at a glass double door. He pushes them open and finds themselves on a relatively small balcony overlooking a sizable courtyard. The night sky rests as a blanket over them and the air is brisk as a gentle breeze travels through their hair. It's refreshing.

"Why didn't you asked anything?" Adam started, not looking at her eyes but instead staring at the courtyard.

"About what?"

Adam shrugs, "Like anything? Like why did I approached you?"

Rhea sighs, "Why are you making things complicated? We're friends."

Adam felt his heart aching and he'd do anything to get it to stop, "Rhea, we had a relationship in the past."

"I'm aware of that fact, thank you very much," Rhea sarcastically muttered.

Adam couldn't help but roll his eyes, "High school sweethearts."

"That's...Dream and Bianca. Also, Keith and Mia." Rhea corrected.

"I don't care, besides didn't Dream and Bianca broke up so they're not counted?" Adam gives her a quizzical look as Rhea laughed at his expression.

"I mean, they broke up but there are people who are meant to be together..."

"That's common," Adam pointed out.

"No, not really," Rhea retorted, smirking at him.

"Why?" He asked, now staring at her.

"Because that rarely happens in real life, once things got broken, it's hard to repair..." Rhea replied softly.

"Did someone broke your heart?" Adam nosily asked as Rhea finally looks on his way.

"Hmm, not really."

"Seriously?!"

"I don't think I have time to date people, to be honest. My work is killing me!" Rhea started

"It doesn't seem that way to me," Adam murmured as he looks down but Rhea heard it clearly.

"Why do you sound so angry?" She asked. Curiosity is obvious in her tone.

"Because I rejected girls who confessed to me through these years...now, I felt betrayed all of the sudden," Adam admitted, sighing as he did.

Rhea playfully batted her eyelashes at him as she waved her hand lightly, "C'mon Adam, you know that we broke up ages ago."

"How could I forget?" He asked as he stared at her. Now, he wants to punch himself.

She looks so goddamn beautiful it physically hurts him. He turns away before his face betrays him and he starts to blush.

"A painful memory." He blurted out and he didn't miss the frown that formed on Rhea's mouth.

"The time that I loved you?"

Adam shook his head, "No, the time that you broke up with me because you felt sorry that you just used me." He corrected.

Rhea couldn't utter to say a word as she listens to him.

"You know, I haven't entered a relationship since then. I rejected the girls who like me and focus on what's important. Thinking back, you were the first one who made me so happy. I just couldn't believe that..." He cut off his own words when he noticed that Rhea's not saying anything. Out of curiosity, Adam glances down at her and she's... crying.

"What in the world?" Adam exclaims. He was never good with crying girls or boys. Or crying in general. "Why are you crying?!"

Rhea is too busy wiping her tears and generating new ones to answer him.

Adam feels around for tissue of any sort but he doesn't have one on him. He's uncomfortable and Rhea is next to him leaking enough tears to fill the fountain in the courtyard below them and he doesn't know how to make her stop so he takes her jaw in his hand, angles her face towards him, and wipes across her face with his sleeve.

"A-Adam!" Rhea sputters. "You're ruining my m-make up..."

He lets go of her. Her cheeks are still slightly wet but are now also tinted red and her eyelashes are clumped together due to her tears. Her glittering lip gloss is smeared across her cheek.

"What? You look fine." Adam frowns, exasperated. Why'd she worn makeup if she was gonna cry it right off? Weird girl. Rhea is such a weird girl.

Rhea slightly giggles as she wipes the lip gloss from her cheek and lips. "Come to think of it, Adam was never the smooth type." She teased.

Adam knits his brows in anger and reddens in embarrassment. "Sh- Shut up!"

"I'm sorry," Rhea genuinely stated making Adam stared at her for a moment.

"For what?"

Rhea plays with her hands, "For what I did back then, I didn't know that you're still hurting, and here I was..."

Adam chuckled, "Don't worry, I already forgave you a long time ago."

"When was that?"

"Hmm, to be honest with you, I didn't get mad. Yes, I was hurt but I don't think I have the heart to be mad at the person who made my high school memorable and fun." He leans over and rests his forearms on the railing.

"Remember the time when you kept glaring at me on my first day of school?"

"Who wouldn't glare at you? You stepped on my shoes!" Rhea snorted as Adam chuckled at her.

"Sorry, if my first impression didn't stand out good for you." Adam sincerely apologized.

"It's fine, it was ages ago," Rhea reassures him, patting his shoulder.

"Also, here." He gives her the paper bag he's holding.

Rhea was reluctant to accept it, "What's that?"

Adam simply shrugs and puts the paper bag on Rhea's hold.

"I bought this a long time ago, at my first pay at work," Adam muttered as he smiles at her.

Rhea opened the paper bag as she gasps and playfully pushes his shoulder. He doesn't budge.

"Sneakers?!" She exclaims.

"It's for you," Adam added.

"You were thinking of me when you bought this?" It is the first thing that comes out on her mouth as she couldn't believe it.

"Because I accidentally dirtied your white sneakers," He reasoned out.

Rhea doesn't know what to say as she stared at the sneakers inside the bag, "Thank you, Adam Cole, but shouldn't you give something like this to your girlfriend?"

"I told you I'm single," His remark sent a chill on Rhea's spine.

"Toni's there..." Rhea started, holding the paper bag tightly.

Adam laughed as he turned at the bright moon, "I thought she was my type of girl, but I was wrong."

"Alright if you don't like her, Matthew knows a lot so I'm sure he can---" Rhea was cut off by Adam's words.

"Nah, I'm quite picky. Come to think of it, I even forgot Dakota and Tegan date invitation back then on high school." He lets out a dreamy exhale.

"Asshole."

Adam nodded his head, "Yeah right, then Shayna confessed to me."

"And you rejected her." Rhea continues it for him.

"Mainly because my heart belongs to someone then," Adam said, glancing at her.

Her heart does something weird in her chest. She ignores it.

"If not? then you're going to say yes?" She retorted.

"No, because even if I'm single at that time, I only have my eyes off to someone..." He denies, not taking his eyes off of her.

"And that will be?" Rhea dares to ask.

"Even you can answer that question, Rhea." He retorted back.

"C'mon, I wanna hear it." Rhea teased, knowing full well that Adam's trying to prove something to her.

"You're so playful today, Rhea," Adam uttered.

Nonetheless, he has to say, he does miss these moments. The never-ending banter with Rhea Ripley. The way how they teased each other. Those good old times.

"It's nice to talk to you again," Rhea clamored as Adam bite his lower lips.

"What are we?"

Rhea got confused for a sec before she picked her words, "We're friends."

"We're going to stay that way if you only let it be, I'm here trying to give us another chance," Adam truthfully stated, not a hint of joke on his eyes.

Rhea pinched the bridge of her nose, "I'm not Toni Storm, I ain't the type who's clingy and give you heart eyes."

"Of course you're not her, you will never be her and I don't want you to be her." Adam scoffs making her uncomfortable.

"I ain't your precious Jane." She smiles sadly.

He frowns at her, "Tsh! you're not my childhood friend."

"I'm not even close to your ideal girl," Rhea muttered with a sad voice.

"And yet I fell for you, ideal or not you made a big impact."

Rhea makes a sound that gets stuck in her throat before she continues, "I'm just someone who used you to protect my best friend, will you settle for that?"

"If that someone showed me what true love is, I will." Adam focuses on anything but the woman next to him.

"That someone doesn't deserve someone like you," Rhea straightforwardly pointed out. She wanted Adam Cole to give up just like he did years ago. Or so she hopes.

"As if I let someone tell me who's deserving or not," Adam answered with a sigh.

A silence falls over them. It's not awkward at all, instead, it's comforting.

Rhea sighs before whispering, "Can I tell you something?"

Her voice is so small Adam almost doesn't hear her. "What?"

She shifts in place, finding a newfound solace in playing with her fingers. He can literally feel the nervous energy emitting off of her. "I...umm...I'm not clingy, I ain't sweet, I hurt you so I don't deserve you."

"Who cares if you're not clingy? you're not sweet? because you're the sweetest. You hurt me so make up for it and come back," He elaborated, not giving in.

Rhea freezes. It feels like a pane of glass has shattered right in front of her face as she tried to cover her face, "Why am I so blessed?" She whispered and Adam warmly smiles at her.

"Because you're a good person and you deserve the best...and if you forgot. I'll keep reminding you, I'm Adam Cole, BAYBAY! and I'm the best." He declares with a matching action.

"Do you still love me?" Rhea asked and she's aware of the fact that she's so repetitive. Thankful that Adam Cole is being patient for her regardless of what she did.

"We're in circles here but if you want to hear it, then I'll say it one more time. My love for you has grown stronger and it will never waver. Call me crazy! I held on to these feelings for a long time, do something about it," He said with confidence.

Rhea doesn't respond. A part of him wishes she would just walk away and go back to the reception. Leave him here to dwell over his own stupidity. After all, seven years means a lot happened. They were not teenagers anymore. If he had just said something – anything to her back then, would things be different now?

Rhea perked up as she wipes the tears on her eyes, "And that boys and girls, that's UNDISPUTED?"

Adam rolls his eyes and scolded her, "You really love to ruin the mood!"

"Hey, Adam Cole," Rhea called out as Adam pays his attention to her.

"Would you like to grab some coffee sometime?"

Adam Cole blinked multiple times before he offered a hand to her.

"I love to."

Your love means everything to me.

<< THE END >>

^^^rhea's squad

a / n :
Thanks for reading the Adam Cole & Rhea Ripley route. It's an alternative ending which I do think suited to be one tbh. Just so you know, I leave the ending to your imagination ;), especially about Rhea's invitation. Nonetheless, I enjoyed exploring Adam and Rhea's dynamic because I haven't seen them interact. It's one of a rare-ship that even I was shocked by how I fell. It's also cute that they have the same height or at-least their height seems close.

Sorry for the characters who are OOC sometimes (well, most of the time) I wanted to see Shayna in this cute naive girl character at first, never thought it turned out that way. It was silly but fun to write.
