A quiet sunset.
Such a pretty thing.
Egg would've liked this.
He always did.
He always appreciates things, Wemmbu couldn't care less about.
That was the difference between them. Egg was always the- well... emotional one out of the two of them.
He always cares about the little things. Wemmbu didn't.
He would have walked right past the sunset without looking back.
But not now.
Not here.
He was staring at sunset. The light feeling of his palms sweating from his daily run was...
grounding.
The rush of winds crashes against him as he was just...
staring.
What a pretty sunset.
A fit of nostalgia hit him right there.
A memory. One he thought, he had long forgotten.
"EGG!!!! WHAT'S THE HOLD UP?? HURRY UP DUDE. MINUTE IS GOING TO REALLY MAD AT US IF WE DON'T HURRY UP!"
"DUDE WAIT A MINUTE!!!! Look at the sunset. It's so beautiful."
"Bruh. I'm going to tell Minute you were the reason we are late."
"No wait dude actually."
Egg could hear footsteps backtracking to him. Wemmbu was panting as he wipes his sweating forehead.
"Dude there's no way we are going to get in trouble because of a dumb sunset."
"Bro you literally can't appreciate nature at all, can you?"
"WELL NOT RIGHT NOW!!!! MINUTE GOING TO KILL US!!!"
"Nah he won't trust Wemmbu."
"EGG. WE HAVE LITERALLY BEEN LATE FOR THE FIFTH TIME THIS WEEK??"
Wemmbu let out a sigh of desperation.
"I can't believe I'M the one who's is getting work up about being late..Since when have you been the one who's okay with being late?"
"Ever since meeting you."
"D'alright."
Egg let out a giggle. "I'm only half joking...heh."
"Whatever man."
Wemmbu and Egg look at the sunset, one with calm, another with frustration.
"What's so good about this sunset anyways? It's just a regular sunset man." Wemmbu could not for his life, could figure out why Egg was doing this. What's the point of staring at something you see everyday?
"Yeah man, that exactly it. It's just a regular sunset."
"What....then why- WHY ARE WE HERE?? We could've been at the hotel by now..."
Egg let out a sigh.
"You really do take everything for granted you know Wemmbu?"
"What??? What is this shade getting thrown at me??"
Egg looked at him dumbly.
"Just-.. whatever, let's get going man."
"OKAY SO NOW WE ARE GOING??"
Their loud voices were flooding the neighborhood as they rushed to the hotel.
Wemmbu let out brief laugh.
What dumbass's they were.
But Egg was right.
He was always right.
He always took things for granted. He was just too stupid to notice before it was too late.
Wemmbu let out a breath. A harsh breath. One he needed a long time ago.
Yeah.
He always did take thing for granted.
Especially friends.
He wishes Egg could see this- this sunset- one he would always admire despite his poor eyesight.
Wemmbu wishes he was here.
Before any more thoughts could corrupt his mind, Wemmbu started running again just with trembling fingers this time
