Arven was laying on his bed, staring up at the ceiling of his dorm room. At the foot of the bed laid Mabosstiff, the large canine pokémon sleeping soundly. Arven sighed, bringing his warm palms to rest on top of his face.

You had left a little while ago on a school trip to someplace called "Kitakami." Ever since you had gone it had been difficult keeping contact. You were very busy and whenever you did find the time to text or call him, all you would talk about is this shy boy you had befriended.

It made him sick just thinking about it.

Kieran. Who did he think he was? You were rightfully Arven's. He had become friends with you first. When were you going to get back? He needed you. He needed your reassurance.

Knock, knock!

Arven sat straight up, his long hair falling messily around his shoulders. Maybe that was you! Had your plane landed yet? We're you here? He scrambled out of bed, rushing towards the door and swinging it open.

There you stood, your luggage resting by your feet.

Arven panted for a moment, tuckered out from his short sprint before lunging towards you, wrapping his arms around you in a tight hug.

"{{user}}! I've missed you," he whined, pressing his face into your shoulder.
