while she waited she thought a bit. she had only met chi a few weeks ago yet her life seemed turned upside down already. carmen never took breaks or days off, only seeing casper every few months despite being only a few hours away. she was a workaholic. yet here she was, with a girl that she had held hands with and had gotten to carry through a freakin flower field only a few weeks ago. it was wild, honestly. she would admit that she liked chi alot..not in that way, or atleast she thought. she enjoyed her presence. alot. like a lot alot. she always felt giddy and hyper yet so calm and at ease at the same time. it was a rush of emotions that made her head dizzy when thinking to much about it. but it was a good feeling, she knew that much.

her head was rather sensitive, so it was easy for her to stir awake at the mere touch of it. it took her a moment to open, silent enjoying the comforting feeling of mie next to her. mitched matched hues greeting deep brown, she couldve sworn she was still dreaming with how good she felt. leaning up, she rested her head on mies chest, letting her mess with her hair without making a fuss about it. she felt content, the rays of late oranges fluttering through the blinds. they probably had the worst sleeping pattern, but she didnt care. right now shed sit in the comforting silence without a care in the world. the grip around mies waist only tightened as she let her eyes fall back into a close.

this was short lived,seeing as pain shot through her head within minutes of feeling comfortable. she furrowed her brows in discomfort, giving a small groan. she hadnt exactly eaten very well last night(her diet had mainly been ice cream and cold, sad hotpockets). and along with staying up almost 24 hours would make anyone feel sick. she sat up in the "shared" bed, thick, long hair fluffing out in all directions. she rested her face in her hands, giving a weak chuckle,"i think i had to many five hour energies last night," she didnt like that fact that she couldnt sleep without mie in the house, it made things difficult for her health wise, explaining the large amount of empty energy bottles that were littering on lunas side of the room, specifically her nightstand. her head felt dizzy and shed probably throw up later, but she didnt care. she turned to mie, giving a dopey smile, eyes scrunched up from adjusting to the light in the room. looking towards her nightstand she read the time, frowning. they had missed lunas favorite part of the day--the sunset. but since that was over,it was usually around the time mie went to work,assuming she had a job that is. she furrowed her brow,"arent you late for work?"

A shaky hand roughly made its way over Chi's face. She was a generally anxious person, though too busy to realise it. Shy and keeping to herself, not often taking up invites for national talk shows because of it. How had she accepted Carmen so easily? How had she made her stammer so hard she felt she couldn't breathe? If Chi was superstitious, she might have said it was a curse, or perhaps a blessing, she wasn't sure. The feeling was so... foreign to her, unfamiliar and different. She'd never experienced attraction to much, so she didn't know if that's what it was either. Sure, she could compare the feeling to Kyran, but perhaps it was different for each friend? Chi had never been so unsure and confused about anything in her entire life. She always had a plan, and a backup plan if that failed, so on. But this? She couldn't have ever been prepared for this. Had there been something to prepare her for this?

With a sigh, she dropped the questions and went to her vanity, taking her hair out of its bun and combing it out until it was a loose cotton ball on her head, pulling the hair away from her face with a plain headband. She changed out of her day clothes, wanting something more comfortable for a casual outing. Swapping from a tight crop-top, fishnets, ripped jeans, and combat boots to a slightly baggy sweater, some leggings, and some comfortably warm boots. She didn't even spare a second to look in her mirror again before grabbing her phone and wallet from the table, pausing at the door for a minute, taking a glance at the time. A decent five minutes, most of it pausing to overthink everything she and Carmen had done up until that point.

Dread washed over Miesha at the question. Normally, she would be. But she quit. She'd start her job next week, enough time to prepare and get on the old schedule again. She was picking up her uniform and gear the next morning to make sure everything was ready. There was zero way she could hide this from Luna, even if she could bring herself to. She couldn't. She gave a soft, tired laugh, hand pausing on top of Luna's head as she forced herself to say the words.

"Normally, yeah. I quit," She said plainly, letting the words hang in the air for a minute before sighing, "Mandy was... asking too much after last night, I couldn't take it anymore." She paused again, pulling away from Luna as she sat on the edge of the bed, already feeling awful. It wasn't Luna's fault, this had been her choice, "I'm going back to the station tomorrow to get my old uniform."
