“You okay?”

The day had been long and difficult for Bryan. He’d submitted three articles that morning, only to have two denied. He’d gone to get a coffee and a cupcake to cheer himself up, and had ended up spilling the coffee and dropping the cupcake. Then he’d planned on going to dinner again with the man he’d been seeing from Tinder… only to sit for two hours and never have the man show up, and text him after yet another hour that ‘something had come up’ as it always seemed to. Which, altogether, made the day something he was glad was over.

He’d returned to the apartment after the dinner, but had decided not to stay in. Climbing out the window and leaving it ajar, he’d headed up the fire escape, to the roof, forgoing bringing a blanket or anything else with him. Instead, he laid back on the concrete, staring up at the sky and trying to spot any stars that the city lights didn’t block out. It was one of those nights where he missed home so much, missed his parents so much, and the ache in his chest was worse.

“You okay?”

He hadn’t heard anything, but Octavia had gotten great with not making any noise on the fire escape; probably due to her sneaking out far more than he did. Her voice didn’t startle him though; he’d figured that once she, Harper, or Monroe saw that he wasn’t in the apartment, one of them would come looking for him, and he tended to escape up to the roof. Lifting his head up off the ground, he tried to offer her a faint smile.

She had a couple blankets and pillows in her hands, and he couldn’t help the watery chuckle that escaped him. “I am now,” He stated softly, sitting up and reaching out to help her spread the blanket out on the ground and set the pillows out, before they laid back down, curled up together as Bryan reached out to play with Octavia’s hair in an absent gesture. “Thank you,” He added out softly then, “I needed the company.”

Later he’d explain to her what had happened that day and why he felt ready to cry. But for now? For now, laying with one of his very best friends and nudging each other to point out stars and count the airplanes that went over them was exactly what he needed.

“Relax. He doesn’t bite… often.”

Bryan had been in Arkadia for a few days now, though most of those days had been spent with Nate, getting reacquainted with his boyfriend. Bellamy had offered to show him around while Nate went back to work for the guard, and Bryan had readily decided to take the offer; after all, if he was going to be living in Arkadia now, he was going to need to know where everything was, right? So he’d followed Bellamy around, almost like a puppy as the other showed him where everything was.

The horses were something entirely new, and very exciting for Bryan. They were beautiful, he thought, powerful, and although he’d seen some with Azgeda, he’d never actually been this close to one of the horses. Animals had always been a special fascination for Bryan; all he’d ever wanted was a chicken of his own to raise on the farm he wanted to have. So to be close to animals on earth? It was almost like a dream come true. It was only as the horse moved, that Bryan startled just a little; unsure of what the animal was doing.

“Relax. He doesn’t bite… often.”

“… often?” Bryan’s eyes went wide at Bellamy’s words, and he took a step back, turning his head to look at the other and then look back at the horse. “They bite? Like, how bad, because I don’t want to get another scar, this time from a horse or something…” He babbled a little, watching as the horse snorted and leaned it’s head forward, feeling a little unsure as he held his hand up. He relaxed though, as the horse just nuzzled into his hand.

“Guess this time he’s not in the mood to bite, huh?” He offered with a shaky breath, glancing at Bellamy again as he slowly petted the horse.

Bryan didn’t look up at all when he heard someone approaching him. He was tired. He was so tired, of all this fighting and dying, and all he wanted was to rest. The city of light was no more, and now it was time to head back to Arkadia and away from Polis. All Bryan could focus on and think about was getting back there, getting some rest, and curling up with Nate as soon as possible.

“Bury a bit of our souls six feet under.”

The words reached his ears, and Bryan glanced up some, looking back at the girl who was standing over him. “Yeah,” He stated then, letting out a sigh and trying to push himself up again and largely ignoring the pain in his leg, “But if we keep burying a bit of our souls with each person we love and lose, how much longer until we don’t have any souls left for ourselves?”

He looked around at the injured and dead, before looking back to her, eyes softer, sadder. His shoulders felt heavy, and he feels almost awful about his words. But there’d been so much to take in, and he wasn’t sure how to keep it from getting worse.

The last thing Bryan had expected that day was to have their group run into Bellamy and the others. Ever since they’d landed four months ago, they’d been just focused on surviving in Ice Nation; trying not to get themselves killed, trying not to freeze, trying to find food. They’d been struggling so much to stay alive, that Bryan had almost forgotten that the rest of the Ark had come to earth as well, and that all the delinquents that had been sent to earth.

That was, of course, until suddenly a group had run into them, Bellamy, Monty, and the others. They had been found, the others were alive, it was all around something to celebrate, wasn’t it? The biggest thing that made his heart leap in his chest was hearing from Bellamy that Miller was still alive; and that he had spoken about him. It was exciting and he was beyond read to get to Arkadia at that point, and to get to Nate.

“Hold your horses, loverboy.”

He heard Bellamy’s words, just as his friend Iris grabbed his wrist to stop him from going rushing off into the woods again by himself. He turned red, ducking his head a bit and then reaching up to rub the back of his neck sheepishly. It was a good thing they’d stopped him, though Bryan wasn’t sure he cared about being safe at the moment as long as he got to Arkadia.

“Sorry,” He stated sheepishly, smiling then at Bellamy in thanks, “Thank you for letting me know. I’m grateful.”
