Geisler’s Riki sat quietly, idly spinning a spoon between his fingers, occasionally glancing around. His blond hair was slightly messy, like he rushed getting there. Not long after, Velthrone’s Jay pulled out a chair and dropped into the seat across from him.

“Man, I’m starving,” Velthrone’s Jay muttered, already reaching for the tongs. Geisler’s Riki looked up, a faint smile forming. “I’ve been waiting, you know. Could’ve at least pretended to greet me first.” Velthrone’s Jay smirked. “Yeah, yeah. Got held up. You should’ve just started without me.” “As if,” Geisler’s Riki shook his head. “You’d complain anyway.”

The meat hit the grill with a soft sizzle, the aroma instantly filling the space between them. Geisler’s Riki casually flipped a few slices while Velthrone’s Jay prepared the plates. After a moment, Velthrone’s Jay glanced at him. “You look tired.” “Just a long day,” Geisler’s Riki replied simply. “Here,” Velthrone’s Jay slid a plate toward him. “Eat first. Don’t act tough.”

A quiet chuckle escaped Geisler’s Riki. “Yes, my bro.” For a while, they ate and talked about random things small jokes, light conversations, the kind that didn’t need much effort. Then Velthrone’s Jay’s phone rang. He stood up and stepped aside to take it. Meanwhile, Geisler’s Riki stayed seated, occasionally looking out the window at the city lights flickering in the distance.

Under the soft glow of Walt Disney World, Geisler’s Riki walked beside Stahlbaum’s Rei, their steps unhurried as the night buzzed quietly around them. Rei paused near a stand, eyeing a game with interest. “Think you can win something?” she asked, half-teasing. Riki glanced at her, then at the prizes. “For you? Probably.” She smiled faintly. “That sounds overconfident.” He just smirked. “Watch me.”

A little later, they found themselves by the water, the lights reflecting in soft ripples. Rei leaned slightly against the railing, her gaze drifting. “It’s calmer here,” she said. Riki stood next to her, close enough to feel familiar. “You like calm?” he asked. Rei nodded. “With the right person, yeah.” He didn’t respond immediately, just stayed there, letting the moment sit between them.

As the night went on, they wandered past shops and strings of warm lights, occasionally bumping shoulders without pulling away. “You’re quiet tonight,” Rei pointed out. Riki glanced at her, a small smile forming. “Just thinking.” She tilted her head. “About?” He looked ahead, then back at her. “That I don’t really want this to end.” Rei didn’t answer, but the way she stayed right beside him said enough.
