Anya in mm. 🤍

——————-

Omniscient

Anya tried not to worry herself when she saw that Milo wasn't in any of the classes they had together, she thought about texting him to see if he was alright but she didn't want to bother him just incase he was busy, As the day went on she couldn't help but worry, going to his contact in her phone she pressed the call button and let it ring as she walked to her dorm.

"Hello?" Milo groaned on the other end of the phone causing her to bite her bottom lip.

"Hey Milo. It's Anya. Are you ok?"

"Oh.... Yeah... I'm fine. I just... I had a rough night."

"Oh. Did you need anything?"

She could hear him mumbling something but she shook it off.

"I'm kinda hungry.."

"Great. I'll bring you something to eat. Text me your address."

"Aight." He mumbled disconnecting the call. A few seconds later her phone vibrated again with a text from Milo.

Milo🤍- 2343 Lakeview circle APT 12D.

She smiled down at the text and made her was to Burger King. It was her favorite place to get burgers, after buying their food since Milo didn't want anything in particular she put his address into her GPS and made her way over, she didn't know why she was so nervous all of a sudden but her hands began to sweat a little.

"Come on, calm down Yaya." She said calling herself the nickname her father gave her when she was little.

Pulling up to the apartment complex she got the food and drinks before getting out and locking the doors, knocking on the door Milo was quick to answer but his eyes had bags under them and he looked extremely tired.

Anya smiled holding up the bag of food and drinks. "Surprise." She said as he chuckled at her goofiness moving aside to let her in.

"Thanks Anya." He said yawning and stretching. "I've been sleep all day honestly."

"Oh are you ok?"

He glanced over at her as he sat the food down on his kitchen table, he scratched the back of his neck. "I will be. I guess my body needed it." He shrugged before sitting down.

"Good I was worried." She slipped up and said which she mentally cursed herself right after.

He furrowed his eyebrows and looked at her. "You were?" He was a little surprised that someone was actually concerned.

She nodded her head and sat across from him. "I was.. but now that I know you're ok-"

"You don't have to worry.."

"I know that but as your friend I mean I kinda had to worry, beside since we've been hanging around each other Professor Horton asked me where you were and I didn't have an answer. I'm sorry..." She trailed off pulling the small container of french fries out of the bag.

Milo sighed and looked up from his food. "What's with that face?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"What face?"

"You look sad all of a sudden, like I hurt your feelings or something.."

Anya sighed and looked down. "I don't know.. I just... I really care that's all."

"Well it's nice to know that you care about us." He smiled a little before standing up. He walked over to her and gave her a side hug. "Seriously though don't worry. I was tired and needed a day off."

"Can I ask you something Milo?"

"Sure."

"If something was wrong you'd tell me right?"

He chewed on his bottom lip as his inner voiced begged him not to open up. "Yeah I tell you..Maybe." He mumbled before looking toward the window.

"Milo?" Anya got up from the table and walked toward him. "Milo?" She said again waving her hand in front of his face.

He lifted his head up and looked into her eyes. "Hey.."

"Hey." She smiled shyly. "You ok?"

He played with the ends of his shirt and shrugged. "I guess.. Milo didn't want to talk anymore so I decided to talk to you.. so here I am."

"Sai?"

"How'd you know?"

"Your voice got really quiet. Why didn't he want to talk to me?" She said as he saw her facial expression change.

"Well... He likes you... we all do but we're scared."

"Of what Sai? I'm not going to hurt you. We're friends right?"

"She lying.." Jaxon said as Sai stood up, he towered over her short frame.

Sai walked over to the couch and sat down, he covered his ears.

"Sai?" She said watching him, in a way she was freaking out but she remained calm. She walked over to him and touched his shoulder causing him to jump.

"You're lying.... Jax said that you're lying. You're going to hurt us... We can't trust you."

She was taken back because she had never seen an episode before, thinking quickly she grabbed a bottle of water and made her way back to the living room.

She bent down to his level and cupped her face with his hands, his eyes here closed but she learned a breathing technique in psychology and hoped it help.

"Slow deep breaths ok? In and out." Anya showed Sai how to calm down and he followed. "In and out, slow deep breaths."

He felt himself calming down and he uncovered his ears. "I'm sorry."

"It's ok. I got you to calm down and that's what's important." She said as he smiled, he leaned forward and gave her a hug.

"Anya?"

"Yeah?"

"I...was wondering if you'd like to watch a movie maybe? I can have Milo come back if you wanna talk to him. He's ready now."

Anya sat beside him and smiled. "If he's ready that's fine. If not it's ok I can talk to whoever wants to talk to me."

Sai licked his dry lips and tilted his head to the side, he closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening them slowly, when they landed on Anya he rubbed the back of his neck. "Sorry about all that.. Jax wanted to cause trouble like he always does."

"It's fine.. So what kind of movie do you want to watch?" She asked grabbing the remote from the table before plopping down on the couch beside him.

He shrugged. "Whatever you want to watch." He said glancing over at her, her face turned a little red and he noticed it.

She doesn't like us. It's pity, she feels sorry for us. Milo brushed off his inner voices and turned on a movie. Anya focused on the movie, he stretched and yawned before putting his arm around her shoulder.

Turning her head she tried her best to hide the smile that was forming on her face.

"You good Anya?" He chuckled.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine."

He nodded and focused on the movie.

"Milo?"

"Hm?"

"You can trust me.. Ok?"

"Yeah I know I can..." He said watching her as she laid her head down on the arm of his couch. They were watching The Fault In Our Stars since that was one of Anya's favorite movies.

He looked over and noticed that she was tired. He could hear her yawning so he got up and covered her with a blanket.

"Anya. If you're tired you can take a nap."

"No, no I wanna watch the movie." She yawned as he chuckled, He hadn't been switching much today since he was asleep most of the day.

A few minutes later he heard light snoring and sure enough she was asleep.

Milo cut off the movie and turned on a lamp before going into his bedroom. He sat on the bed and looked up at the ceiling, he began to count how many times the ceiling fan spun.

"21, 22, 23, 24,25." He mumbled before laying on his back with his hands behind his head. "26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31."

Milo did like Anya, he had also observed enough to know what she liked and didn't like. She didn't like spicy food or when people talk too loudly, when she was upset her nose would wrinkle, her laugh could brighten his mood ever if he wasn't Milo in that moment.

"42, 43, 44, 45, 46-"

"Milo? What are you doing?" Anya said as he looked over at her, she was standing in the door way, he sat up and smirked a little.

"Oh..You fell asleep so we came in here... Didn't want to bother you."

She didn't say anything as he got up from the bed and made his way over to the bathroom, cutting on the light he opened the cabinet and took out his medicine, he hadn't noticed she was watching him.

"You wanna watch a different movie?" He asked as she shook her head.

"No I'm gonna get back to campus actually."

"Oh....well thanks for coming over and bringing food. It was pretty good." He said popping the two pills into his mouth.

"You're welcome." She smiled before biting her bottom lip.

"What is it?" He asked.

"How long have you had this disorder?"

"A year I think... I don't really have a lot of people to talk about it to...but now I have you and you're willing to listen to me so I'm glad."

"I'll always be here to listen Milo."

"You promise?" He said walking her toward the front door. She smiled and nodded.

"I promise." She leaned in and left a kiss on his cheek.

"Jaxon said you're getting too close to us... But I want you to be close, that means I have someone who actually cares."

"I wanna be close Milo."

He ran his hand down his face and sighed, he was switching and didn't want to, at least not now.

He shook his head and tucked his bottom lip between his teeth. "Nah. I don't want you to get close. You'll hurt us."

"No I won't."

"Yes you will. Everyone that says they won't ends up messing up in the end." He shrugged and walked over to the couch slouching that's how she knew he was Jaxon.

"How come you're so cranky all the time?"

"How come you're so persistent? I told you.. You're getting too close. It'll only hurt in the end."

"I'm not like everyone else Jax. Why can't you let Milo decide?"

"Because he doesn't make the right decisions Anya that's why! I said you're getting too close and I want you to stop it!" He said as his chest heaved up and down.

Anya swallowed down her tears, she wasn't expecting Jaxon to get upset, she grabbed her hoodie and put it over her head but the tears were already falling.

He heard her sniffle and stared at her. "Oh no... You're crying?.. Oh nah, you gotta stop ma."

"You didn't have to yell at me Jaxon. I'm just trying to show you that I actually care about all of you, then you tell me not to get close ? How can I not get close when I care?" She sniffled as his face soften.

"Just please..don't cry aight.. that shit freaks me out." He said wiping her tears with the pad of his thumb.

"All I'm saying is I actually give a damn... Obviously you care about me too or you wouldn't be standing here trying to get me to stop crying."

"Well that and you're in our house so.."

"Jaxon" She sniffled.

"I'm sorry ok? When I get upset I'll walk out the room and calm down."

Her tears kept falling, Anya wasn't one to like when people yelled at her, she had to deal with so much of it at a young age. Of course they didn't know that just yet.

"What you're doing isn't working... She's still crying... let me comfort her. Please." There was Milo being calm causing Jaxon to scoff.

Milo embraced her into a hug. "Please stop crying..." He whispered before cupping her face with his hands. She looked into his eyes and saw that he genuinely cared about her feelings, he caressed her face and smiled.

"We're sorry ok."

She nodded and wiped her tears with the sleeve of her hoodie. "I gotta get going it's getting late."

"Oh right.. Yeah.." He said looking down at his feet.

"Maybe I'll see you in class tomorrow?"

"I'll be there." He smiled as he opened the door for her.

"See you later Milo."

Leaning against the door he smirked. "See you later Anya."

She put her hair into a bun and walked to her car, once she was inside she put her seatbelt and honked as he waved watching until her car could no longer be seen.

Closing the door behind him he locked it and sighed. "Fuck." He mumbled before cleaning up the house and going into his room.

"I'm gonna stay for a while guys." He thought before cutting off his lamp and staring at the ceiling fan spin until his eyes got heavy.
