Sorry for not updating in so long T_T

Cahaya found himself walking down the streets alone, book in one hand and a bag of groceries on the other. As he walked past the park, he could hear the sounds of laughter coming from the children playing with each other.

He wouldn't admit it out loud, but he was jealous of them. His mind flashed back to his conversation with Ochobot a little while ago.

"Cahaya?"

The two of them were sitting in Cahaya's work table in his room as the latter tried to fix Ochobot from his broken state.

"Are you crying? I'm sorry if I made you sad!" Ochobot asked.

"I'm not crying!" Cahaya snapped, furiously wiping the tears away from his eyes. However, no matter what he do, the tears just kept coming.

"I'm too cool to cry over things like these!" he sobbed. "It's not like I care that most kids don't like me, nor do I care that my brothers sometimes make me feel out of place!"

"Daun, Api and Angin always hand out because they keep making stupid pranks! Tanah and Petir also have friends at Grandpa's cafe! And Air just goes with the flow with anyone!"

"It's probably because they see me as the youngest," Cahaya sniffed. "Even though we were born on the same day."

"Cahaya..."

Ochobot tried his best to move closer to the crying boy.

"I know it's hard right now, but as your friend, let me tell you this. If you can fix me from scrap, then I'm sure you'll be able to find a way that in the end, everything will turn out the way you want it to be."

I seriously doubt that though, Cahaya sighed internally as he went back to focus on his book.

"I knew it! It's Cahaya, Ying!"

Cahaya jumped at the sudden voice and looked up to see two beautiful girls looking at him with a smile.

"Sorry, did we surprise you?" the girl with the pink hijab smiled sheepishly. "It's that... we've heard a lot about you from your brothers."

"Hmm, so this is the infamous Cahaya?" the girl with pigtails asked him, her blue eyes seeming to assess him from head to toe. "I actually thought it was Petir, with the serious look and everything!"

Cahaya stood frozen as the two girls talked. His collar felt hot and he was sure he was blushing. He has never felt so flustered in his entire life.

"I'm Ying and this is Yaya, by the way," the nerdy girl smiled at him. "We only caught climpses of you during school since we're in different classes."

"I-I know that!" Cahaya stuttered, adjusting his collar. "My brothers talk about you guys."

"Oh really? That's good to know!" Yaya said happily.

"They really do look identical," Ying stared at him. "If it weren't for their personalities and caps, I wouldn't be able to tell them apart!"

"I... err..."

"Oh!" Yaya reached for her bag and pulled out a plastic bag. "As a token of out first meeting, you can have some of my cookies!"

Weren't these the same cookies that gave Api diarrhea? Cahaya wanted to asked but his voice wouldn't work.

"Go ahead and try them! They're---"

"Why, look at the time!" Ying exclaimed, looking panicked for some reason. "Yaya, we need to go!"

"Huh? But-"

"Come on, come on!" Ying pulled at her friend's hand, waving back at the still-frozen boy. "Bye, Cahaya! It was nice finally meeting you!"

"O-okay then. We probably disturbed him for too long." Yaya said to her friend before smiling back at him. "Come and hang out at the KoKoTiam sometimes, okay?"

Cahaya could only stare as the two girls walked away from him. He looked at the bag of cookies on his hands and smiled.

He finally had friends.

I still can't get over that Enen actually read this. T_T Believe me, I'm still freaking out.

By the way, I have decided to continue writing BBB fanfics. I won't update as much as I do before (mainly because I'm busy and had switched to a new fandom), but I will still update.

Thanks for sticking up with me until now!
