 It's been a few days since you've been talking to Player. You two have turned out to be close friends and have been around the place doing stupid stuff like trick shooting a soda can with a rock, hanging out at 4am with Cashier, eating a bag of chips the quickest, or falling face flat onto a pavement.

 That last part didn't end well on your head.

 Not only that, it's also almost the end of the first week you'll be staying here with your aunt.

 After next week, you'll be going home. You've been feeling a little odd around Player. I mean, sure, you clearly thought he was "cute" first time you saw him, but you didn't expect this feeling to.. actually grow. That's a little surprise to you mainly even though it SHOULDN'T be. Ever since you two kept going to the store and hanging out more, Player's smile drove you MAD. You keep asking yourself "Is it REALLY worth finding love when you're only staying here for two weeks?" You've only got this week left to go and that's all. It keeps you pensive for some time. He seems cool, and he's really cute, but almost a week isn't enough time to actually KNOW know somebody. You shake your head debating these things in your head. It gave you wave of pain considering that headache you have. You probably got caught up in your thoughts to much to forget it.

 "Are you alright?" Your Aunt asks. You slightly jump at her voice. "I'm fine." You say, turning back to the table to do your thinking session.

 Your Aunt slides in the chair next to you. "Are you sure?? You seem a little more.. jumpy, lately. And you haven't really moved from the table much... in fact you haven't moved at all from the table since this morning."

 "I'm fine, really." You say, holding your hand up. "I just feel a little.. odd, I guess? I dunno."

 "Is it about this kid that you're hanging out with?" Your Aunt quickly turns to face you. "Have they done anything?"

 "No, No! It's not that!" You quickly sputter. "It's just a bit of conflicting stuff, that's all."

 "Ah, I see, I see..." Your Aunt nodded. "Would you like to talk about it?" 

 You shook your head. "I'll think about it, maybe." 

 "Alrighty, dear." Your Aunt patted you on the shoulder. "If you need to talk to anybody, or get any medicine for that headache, I'll be here, okay?"

 You stayed silent for a bit before responding "Okay." You see your Aunt walk over to the kitchen to go feed the cat, just to ensure it won't start whining and make your headache worse. You sighed. "You should think about it a little more before spouting it out", you thought. "You never know if it might leave."

 You heard a knock on the door later at the afternoon. Your Aunt was out in the garden "Mind opening the door?" She yelled from outside.

 You get up, stretching before walking over to open the door.

 It was Player. "Hey (Y/N)!" He said with a smile. "You didn't swing by like you always do, so I decided to come to you today!" He threw up his hands in a jazzy manner. "Ta-da!"

 You smile. You nearly turn a brush of red. "Yeah, sorry I just had a headache that killed me, hah. Sorry for not telling you.."

 "That's alright!" He smiled. "You want me to leave you alone?"

 "Not at all, you can come in!" You step aside from the doorway with a smile, motioning Player to enter.

"Really? You sure?"

"Definitely. Come on in." Without further words, Player takes a few steps in the doorway. They peep in from their standing position and look around. After a few moments of standing there, they step a few more feet in, entering the house.

It hasn't been 5 minutes, and Player has already made himself at home.

 "Your Aunt's house is pretty neat!" Player says, attached to the various paintings and antiques around the house.

 "Well, yeah, but I can barely touch any of this stuff." You sigh. Player slides over near your shoulder. "Well, all this stuff must mean a lot to your Aunt, so I'd understand."

 "Yeah, this junk does." You stare at the other room. "There's a few things that mean more to her than anything."

 "Really?" Players attention has peaked. "Yep." You nod.

 You then turn to him. A bit of secret sharing wouldn't hurt. "Wanna go see something valuable?"

 "HELL YEAH!" Player exclaims excitedly. You take his hand and go off upstairs. You peer into your Aunt's room. Considering she's downstairs, she won't hear a thing that happens up here. You walk quietly in the room and then motion for Player to follow. The two of you go near the drawer as you look into the top of it. You slowly pull out a figurine that was a bacon haired woman in a white dress and a man with a top hat. It seemed broken however, and stuck together with glue.

 It may look like nothing, but you know exactly what this is.

 "What's that?" Player tilts their head.

 You gently hold it up to him. "This, my good sir, is my aunt and uncle. Before whatever happened to my uncle happened."

 "Wait, what happened to him???"

 "Don't know." You shrug. "My Aunt never talks about it. Never even acknowledges it except for him when he was around." You look at the figurine. "She hides some things of him around the house now and then, but I know she does miss him. I saw her holding this a few nights ago. I'm guessing this was made during their wedding, or something." You turn it, inspecting it. "I'm surprised she didn't move this."

 "It must mean a lot to her, huh?" Player asks, inspecting it closer. "Yeah. She tries keeping this thing safe as best as she can. She uh.. doesn't want it breaking again since last time."

 "I understand. It must've been scary first time it dropped." Player looks up back at you. "I can see why it's valuable too. Losing somebody seems a little scary."

"Yea.." You reply.

 There was silence, before the door creaks as your cat, [Cat] enters the room. The cat hops onto the bed as you're explaining these things, and sniffs the figurine. You pet [Cat] and then set the figurine back into the drawer. "We should get going. I don't want my Aunt seeing us in here."

 "Right." Player nods. You two head back downstairs. As you gently rested your head on the couch, Player was watching some Tom and Jerry right next to you. Nothing like a bit of tv can repress the mystery of whatever the hell happened to your uncle. After a bit, your Aunt came back from outside. 

 "So, who was at the door?" Your Aunt asks. You sat up. "It was my friend!" You happily slide over to show Player, who was munching on a bag of chips.

 Your Aunt gasps. "Hello there! You must be Peter!"

 "..Player." You correct her.

 "Oh! Woops. My mistake." Your Aunt scratched the back of her head. Player waved at her. "Hello, miss!" Your Aunt waved back. You could hear her mutter the word "Player" again once she turned around. "Odd name.." You can faintly hear her mutter again. Still, she smiled and went to the kitchen. She sounded like she was prepping something. After a few minutes, she came back around and sat on the other couch. "Is Player going to be staying for a sleepover?"

 "Uh..." Before you could answer, Player cuts in. "Yeah! I asked my dad and he said it was okay."

 "Okie dokie then!" Your Aunt faces the tv. "As long as your father is okay with it." She then turned to face you. "Hey, kiddo, did you show them the guest bedroom?"

 You nearly hesitated on the answer before saying "Yeah, why do you ask?"

 "Well, I saw you two go upstairs." Your Aunt explained. "I thought they'd be staying over." You can feel Player looking at you with a nervous glance. You, however, kept your cool.

  "I'm making brownies, would you two like any?" Your Aunt asked.

 "Oooo!" Food immediately swept Player's worries away. "I'd love to have some!" He says, rolling up the chip bag and stuffing it in his pocket. Your Aunt turns to you. "Would you like some too, kiddo?"

 You just nod. "Yeah."

 You three continue to watch tv, the oven eventually begins to beep. "Alrighty you two." Your Aunt says, standing up. "The Brownies have to go in, it'll take a bit." Then goes off to set in the brownies.

 Player sits back on the couch, petting [Cat], sighing. "Man, this place is calmer than home. I'm glad I came here."

 "Me too." You slightly smile.
