"sleeping bags and blankets just in case we get into traffic and-"
"YES MOM WE GET IT, WE HAVE LITERALLY EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE!" y/n yelled in exasperation after jean had gone over this list at least fifty times in the past thirty minutes.
jean paced around the room, holding her head in her hands.
"I'm just worried, you know anything can happen y/n-"
"relax darling, i'm sure we have everything covered." lisa said, patting jean's shoulder.
"yeah, don't worry jean it's all fi-KLEE DO NOT BLOW UP OUR BUS I WILL CONFISCATE YOUR BOMBS." y/n screeched as they ran after the tiny arsonist heading towards the incredibly customized bus being packed by diluc.
lisa sighed softly in exasperation.

"y/n, where is mona's luggage?" diluc asked while peering at the trunk"i've looked through the entire car at least five times."
"MISTER DILUC! MISTER DILUC!" mona exclaimed while running wildly toward the duo.
"here, my luggage for the trip." mona panted out, leaning on her knees for support while holding up a large purple...backpack?
"mona, we're going to be out for 2 weeks."
"this is all the clean clothes i can muster y/n..."
"very well," diluc sighed while taking the bag and placing it inside the trunk.
"off we go then! diluc get everyone, tell them we're leaving them behind if they're not here in fifteen tops. also remind ajax to bring the snacks." y/n ordered diluc.
in no time, everyone found a comfortable position in the large bus diluc had bought to accommodate about...forty people?
'how on earth is this possible?...' y/n thought while getting into the passenger seat and already fiddling with the radio dial.
this was a mistake.
"play my chemical romance."
"play twenty-one-century pilots!"
"PLAY TAYLOR SWIFT!"
"can you play coldplay?"
"NO. we're listening to k-pop. that's it. no argument." y/n insisted despite the suggestions.
"that's enough," diluc said from the driver's seat as he paused the music playing on full blast from the speakers (After School by Weeekly) "i'm going to get into a car crash at this rate."
"don't be such a debbie downer," childe whined while slumping in his seat.
the others nodded in agreement. After School was a vibe.
after a moment of silent annoyance towards diluc, kaeya piped up.
"well, tartaglia bought snacks! i'm hungry, aren't you guys?"
"YAY! DID YOU BRING MY DINO NUGGIES UNCLE AJAX? DID YOU, DID Y-"
"yes, i did klee! i'll give it to you in a second...is anyone else craving something?"
"me and aether want sandwiches," lumine called from the back, answering for her brother who was reading a book quietly in a corner.
"HAND OVER DILUC'S BEEF JERKY IM EATING IT." y/n yelled from the passenger's seat.
"no"
"well fuck you diluc, im eating it. this is what you get for having a driver's license" y/n said while popping pieces of jerky in their mouth.
"..."
"y/n, you have a driver's licens-"
"with all due respect, which is a lot, I barely passed my driving test albedo. do you really want me driving a bus with around forty people in it for five to seven hours?"
I love platonic love. It's just so pure and soft. The screaming of a group of friends at a claw machine. Sharing a meal and gossiping. Talking about our issues with support coming from all sides. Hugging and lying on top of each other. Hyping each other up. Talking shit about peers. Fighting about who's going to pay. Bickering. Sometimes speaking in native languages with people in the friend group, trying to confuse the others. Feeling safe and happy in their presence. The mom friend scolding you for cursing and then cursing again just to tick them off. Casually stealing food. Randomly hugging everyone. Headpats. Teasing them for their crushes. Making dirty jokes and then being smacked upside the head. Complaining about immigrant parents. Complimenting the shy one and watching them cover their face in embarrassment.
(A.N.: This was written after I went out with my friends and I'm feeling v soft rn. Also written in like 20-30 mins so if it sucks, ¯\(°_o)/¯)
love is a force to be reckoned with. it could be the thing you long for or the thing you dread. love is in the hearts of passionate lovers, of old bickering married couples, in friends that have known each other since they were in kindergarten. love is persistent in siblings that fight for stupid things and ignore each other for a few hours, then silently make up after one of them brings a pack of uno cards to the others room. love can be unspoken, silently realized. it can be in loud declaration from the roof, with a box of chocolates and all. love can be either fierce, loud, and passionate or it can be soft, silent, and sweet. love is in sex, its in hugs, its in sitting in silence, its in kisses, its in soft, longing poems, its in a parent's heart for their child, its in a celebrity's fans, its in a stuffed animal you've had since you were two, its in your best friend that you cherish with all your heart.
