?Our Journey? Firepound

(This is all ur getting from me as a image, I'm actually so terrible at art 😭😭😭 I only spent like 10 minutes, and so because of this I made most of the background blurred out since it was quite shite and just left Fireball in since he is the only 'okay' thing I drew)
(I drew this with pen on pap3r btw)

A.N They are objects btw, not humanised although I may use personification often.

(Fireball's POV 🔥)
Ever since our old host just left us contestants abandoned, it took us a long time before we were able to escape the island and make it back to city civilisation, after that everyone took their own paths, including me, I haven't seen anyone from the contest since the escape. It's really been that long and I'm still lonely... As of now I just live in a apartement complex. I work at some mechanic repairing place since fixing things is really all I'm good that, I'm pretty sure none of the other contestants managed to figure that out but I couldn't care less.

Although I'm happy that I'm back in civilisation I miss him, Pound, the only buddy and person that could actually understand me but what hurt me is that after we got to the city, we split up... No contacts no way to communicate with eachother no nothing. All alone. Like always. Why can't i just make friends? Well it's due to my 'anger' issues or whatever people say, they just hate me. I never liked anyone else other than Pound, Pound my guy, Pound my best friend- GOD WHAT IS IT WITH ME AND POUND I JUST CANT STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM-

Enough! I'm just... tired, I figure so I decide to call it quits for today at work "Hey uh manager I'm gonna go home early I don't feel so well." The Tie Object then looked at me before responding with. "Alright go ahead you already done must of your hours already but pay will still be deduced a bit." I just nod tiredly before leaving the mechanic place outside onto the city streets, it was raining, rain drops pouring down all over the street, at this rate I was gonna get extinguished but luckily I had a backpack with me always carrying anything I need just in case so I grab my umbrella and open it, protecting my self from the rain. But then I saw someone, familiar, a coin object. No it couldn't be, right? "Pound is that you?!" I call across the street, the figure then turns around and sure enough it was Pound. "POUND! Oh my god hey bud-" but then he started to run off for some reason? "H-Hey Pound wait!" I shout but he doesn't seem to listen.

So i start to chase him down, alleyway after alleyway and shortcut. "P-Pound wait!!! I'm running out of breath.." I still continue to chase after him, determined even with my fatigue. Eventually he runs into a dead end and i corner him. "Pound! Why are you running away from me-" "STAY AWAY FROM ME!" ....... I felt hurt, does he hate me, wha-what did I do to him.? "Pound what's wrong? I haven't seen you in so long-" "Fireball, it's just- I- I'm not allowed to see you." What does he mean he's not allowed to see me!?! "What do you mean." I reply with. "Well Fireball it's beca-" just then we both were interrupted by what seems to be multiple footsteps and voices. "Fireball quickly hide in that dumpster!" He pointed next to me. "Wha- no way I'm not going in the-" I suddenly felt force on my back and realised
i was pushed into the dumpster. "Hey Pound, dude not cool-" Then the footsteps got closer and multiple familiar voices I could barely recognise could be heard, "Hey Pound how's the hunt going?" I heard a awfully familiar voice say, wait... Caramel Apple-?!

"Uh i don't know Caramel Apple, I haven't found him yet I'll be sure to inform you guys if I do!" I heard Pound say. "Whatever, we will eventually get him." I recognised it was Glitchy who said that, anyways I couldn't help but wonder.... Who's this 'Him' person they are referring to, I'll ask Pound when they leave. Eventually I heard the same group of footsteps walking again, I assumed it was the group leaving. Pound then opened the dumpster's lid to help me get out. "Alright Fireball you can come out now." "Thanks.... And maybe next time don't shove me in a bin. Also who's this 'him' person?" Pound then looked stressed as if he was panicking and hiding something. "Well uh-erm you see...Theothercontestantsarehuntingyoudowneversince
wegotbacktothecitysincetheyallhaveissueswithyou- apart from me of course!" What.... The other contestants have been trying to hunt and kill me ever since we got back in the city?! "They are trying to do what now?!?! WHY I OUGHTA-" Pound then grabbed my shoulders and looked at me dead in the eyes, I felt a weird warm feeling in my cheeks, I didn't know what it was so I decided to ignore it but it made my flame bigger.

"Fireball, look at me, it's going to be okay... How about we uh- head to your place perhaps?" "Yeah sure Pound I'll book us a ub-" i pull out my phone just to find it dead of charge. "MY PHONE IS OUT OF CHARGE FOR FU-" "Language!" Oh right I forgot he hates it when people cuss, heh cute- wait. WHAT No. no it's not ... "I'll just order us a uber then Fireball it's fine." "I swear Pound I'll pay you back when we get to my place- eventually we just waited by the road for the uber to arrive and pick us up, I also let Pound next to me under the umbrella as well since I felt bad to leave him out in the freezing rain.

⚡️ TIME SKIP ⚡️

After quite the ride the Uber arrived at its destination and me and Pound exited the vehicle. "You live in an apartement Fireball?" "Yeah.." I say disappointedly expecting Pound to berate me and laugh at me but instead... "Wow that's cool!" Wait wha- he really is full of surprises huh- "anyways we need to go to the elevator." He nods at me before following behind me into the elevator as I press the button 4 and then, when the door closes Pound speaks. "Hey Fireball! Party in the elevator!" He starts to dance stupidly which makes me chuckle as it's quite funny. "PFFFFTTTTT" I eventually start to 'rave' with him as a joke since we were messing around until the elevator ding sound went off and the door opened.

We quickly made our way out of the elevator to my room, room 47. I then grabbed the room keys from my pocket (what pocket?) to open the door.
"Come in first, since your my guest." "Alright whatever you say Fireball." I followed behind Pound as we entered my room. It's a bit clean as I make sure to not leave it quite messy before heading out for work. "You got game consoles here? Cool!" "Yeah do you wanna play some games on it with split screen since I have two controllers?" "Yeah bet!" I couldn't help but feel happy that I was able to play finally after a long time with my best friend together. "So what game?" Pound then asked me. "Oh uh how about we play some racing game >:)" "You're on Fireball!"

⚡️ TIME SKIP ⚡️

After hours of playing game after game, we both realised the time and knew it was time to once again split paths. "W-wait Fireball before I leave could I uh get your number, to talk of course! And maybe more" I felt my face get warm when he said that but I just brushed it off. "What was that you muttered under your breathe anyways Pound-?" "Nothing-!" "Hmm okay anyway here's this Note, it's got my number on it." Before I closed the door he gave me a really tight hug. I miss this, I feel like I could stay here for eternity and hug him till the end of days but I knew I couldn't and he'd have to go eventually. "Anyways time for me to go now Fireball! See ya!" He said before leaving, I closed the door after behind him as he left.

I then looked back at my room and realised the mess we made while we were busy having fun so I decided to tidy and clean it up, before sending my self to sleep since the time was 11PM so I just flopped on my bed to fall asleep eventually.
