“Hey Kris, wait up!” Noelle speeds walks in order to catch up to Kris already halfway through the door.
“Heh”, Kris runs out the door and holds it shut as Noelle pleads for them to open it up.
“Krismas! Come on if you don’t open this door I’ll tell your mother or worse I’ll tell Dess.”
Kris hearing this threat still holding onto the door handle, opens the door lightning fast making Noelle fall flat on her stomach but otherwise rather unscathed.
“Oof, ow!” Kris winces and out of pity or actual sympathy bends down to give Noelle a hand, “Sorry Elly, need some help?”
Noelle looks at their hand and sighs, taking their hand, “That hurt you know well of course you know you probably planned it with that in mind hmph”.
Kris scoffs at her pout but still lets her know they didn’t intend for her to fall…well not make her fall super hard on the floor.
“Well it’s fine I guess, thank the Angel I came out with no scratches faha”, Noelle dusts herself off as Kris begins to walk away as she fixes her bangs she feels her hair clip is missing her apple hair clip.
“Wait Kris I can’t find my apple clip!”, “The apple clip I made you for your birthday?”, “Yes yes the hair clip I can’t find it”.
Noelle empties the pockets on her skirt and checks her bag frantically, both containing everything but their hair clip.
Noelle takes a look at Kris, “Ugh fine fine don’t give me THAT look”, Kris bends over as they begin looking at the grass and bushes as Noelle does the same.
The sounds of grass and leaves being pushed around is interrupted by Kris, “Why do you even wear that old thing anyways I made that when I was like nine…it’s probably time you got rid of it”, Noelle chimes in with a slightly hurt tone “How could you say that! I know it’s not that good looking and has some wear but…it means a lot to me”.
Kris weirdly not expecting her hurt tone looks down into the bushes and finds her hair clip and holds it.
“Why?”
Noelle turns around slowly and notices they have their hairclip in their hand but decides to continue their conversation.
“It was one of the last things I had before Dess disappeared”. Kris looked visibly frozen.
“Oh..”.
Noelle gets up and squats down next to Kris and they inch closer Kris clutches their hand so they don’t see the clip.
“I mean I know she’s back and everything and all that dark world stuff was resolved but when she did feel like she was gone I had this clip”.
Kris looks up towards her face but not making eye contact just watches her talk.
“It may not be much but it felt nice to wear it even though we didn’t talk after she disappeared. I still had you close to me, well a piece of you I suppose”.
Kris opens their hand up revealing the clip, “Well i still think its old and ugly looking”, Noelle scoffs as they reach for their hair clip finally clipping it into their hair separating her bangs to one side”.
Kris stands and helps Noelle stand up again dusting herself off after doing so, Kris looks away as they say, “You know since Dess is back and well everything changed I could always make you a new one…for old times sake”.
Noelle walks on Kris’ left side as they make their way to QC’s “I’d like that Kris”.
The sun perfectly hits the town as a cool wind mixes between the warmth and collective freshness of late autumn with a new promise for the monster and the human.
