RANDOM STUFF THAT IM POSTING

"Welcome home, Owen!"

Ivy was always a nice and warm person. The small flower-scented town was like a second home to Owen. It was calm, the people were nice and patient with them. They had spent so many holidays together here.

The town was always lively and happy. Owen was often invited to join the others in birthday celebrations and Christmas parties. Halloween was enjoyable too. Each year, Owen dresses up and helps an odd man get candy by scaring their friends. Said friends were never angry about it, each one either jokingly flicked them or laughed at their antics. Some even challenged them.

Ever since they came there they were never lonely again. This is what holidays were about. Spending time with you love. Being surrounded by people who love you back.

They all made their birthday bearable.

The way they welcomed them and not Oliver. The little party that they all had. The acknowledgment of Owen. The love and likes they had for Owen. The warm feeling in their chest when they saw the notice to remind everyone about their birthday was comforting for once.

Easter was nice too. Thanksgiving, New Year, Valentine's Day, all of it left a warmth in Owen's chest.

"I hear it's almost your birthday, Owen. Hehe, do you know what you want?"

"Not yet."

Ivy just nodded. Not an annoyed nod, her mood wasn't affected at all.

"Perfectly alright! Now today I was planning on doing some cooking, if you wouldn't mind helping me."

Owen gave her a thumbs up, and with that she took Owen into her kitchen.

Ivy asked Owen to grab the ingredients, which Owen quickly agreed to. They noticed that it was a brownie mix and showed the box to her as a way of asking if it was the right one.

"Yep! I wanted to make brownies today cause I've been craving something sweet."

The brownies weren't hard at all to make. The 20 minute wait was spent with the two playing Mario Kart. Ivy took Yoshi and Owen took Baby Mario. Owen won each time. Playing with cc 100 was always easy to them. Computer players were always too easy to beat, but they liked the track. It was nice.

"Heyyy Owennnn!! The brownies are done!"

Owen quickly sat up and ran over to the kitchen. They got them out of the oven, the heat a bit too overwhelming, but that didn't stop them from getting the brownies out.

Ivy and Owen talked while they let the brownies cool off. It usually only took a couple of minutes, so they talked about small things.

Once the brownies were cooled off, Owen took out a plate and grabbed two brownies. They sat down at the table and took a bite of the brownie. It was hard and not gooy at all. They sat it back down on the table slightly annoyed on how they turned out. They got up and put the untouched one back while throwing the one they took a bite of away. They got a bowl out and grabbed a pack of ramen out of the cupboard and put the noodles in the bowl. After running it under the sink, they put it into the microwave.

Once it was done, Owen's stomach felt less painful. Their headache went away too. They weren't sure when either of those became problems, but it was nice to not feel it anymore.

It's so cold.
