it had been years now.

due to a reckless conflict and some bad decisions, you were banished for 4 years from the equation playground. you figured it was for the best, anyway, and left with a heavy heart. in that passage of time, nine could keep up his cool and carefree persona, but inside he was alone. he yearned and waited for you, you being in his thoughts more often that not.

well, after 4 long years, you had.. finally returned. hey, five had said it herself, no hard feelings. you walk around, looking at the ways the places had changed. the new polish on some of the swing sets, or the new benches. it all.. felt like a distant memory, but home. your home. a small furrow of the brow had set on your face.
