He relaxed, laughing at her comment.
"Yeah, actually, do you want anything?" He asked, quickly taking out his wallet.
Adresin was currently working in a daycare that his older sister ran, and had recently gotten paid.
"I used to…" Mattie hated this part.
Lucas was silent for a moment. "…You too?"
"What do you mean?" Natalia asked, slightly confuzzled.

"Do you want me to order you anything?" He asked, nodding his head toward the counter, "I just got paid, so it's no problem."
Natalia smiled and shook her head, holding up her coffee. "Thanks for the offer, but I'm good." She replied.
Mattie pressed her lips together, closed her eyes, and nodded. Tears pooled behind her eyelids.

(Lol.)
"I'm… I'm sorry. Are you comfortable saying when?" Lucas said softly, looking at Mattie empathetically.
"Two years ago. And I still go home expecting him to be right on the other side of the door to scare me, then give me a hug," Mattie said, laughing a little.
(IF YOU ARE INTO MUSIC, CHECK OUT MY NEW RP CALLED THE JEWELS CHOIR!!!!)
Lucas laughed weakly. "Sometimes I expect to see Claus in our room, cooking up some prank for myself or one of our parents. I understand."

He nodded, giving her one last hug, and went to order his coffee.
Natalia smiled as Adresin walked off, then she quickly went back to her work, trying to keep the blush off her cheeks.

Once Adresin paid, he turned around, looking around for a place to sit and work on his story.
Lucas laughed weakly. "Sometimes I expect to see Claus in our room, cooking up some prank for myself or one of our parents. I understand."
Mattie pressed her hand on top of his, then awkwardly withdrew it.
"I'm sorry… I really shouldn't be burdening you with all my personal problems. How have you been? Anything significant happen recently?"
"I don't mind." It tears me apart. "I'm fine." Reeeeeally? "Nothing major." Okay, that part is accurate.
Lucas seemed skeptical. "I just want you to know you can tell me anything. I won't judge you. I don't want to pry, though, so it's fine if you'd rather not say."
Mattie sighed. "I'm just kinda stressed right now."
About? Lucas nodded. "Do you want to elaborate or leave it there?"
"I honestly don't know anymore!" She yelled. She looked around quickly and back to Lucas. "Sorry. I didn't mean to yell."
Lucas was startled a bit by the yelling, but he didn't show it. "Er, don't worry about it. You're always welcome to talk to me if you need to, to figure out what's going on."
"Okay," Mattie sighed hopefully. She wasn't sure of what else to say, so she gave him a hug.

The ravenette finally found a seat, and began writing, a content smile on his face as he finished the chapter.
(MARK ARE YOU STILL ON???)
Lucas hugged her back awkwardly, just wanting to be there if he was needed.
"I'm sorry," Mattie apologized, quickly pulling away.
