《(TinCan) I Hate U.》rain
Advertisement
After breakfast, Tin and Can walked Lily and Rose to school. They had only two umbrellas so Tin and Can each carried one as the girls walked in between them.
It was a fun sight to see Tin joked around with the two girls and made them giggles. Can have never seen this side of Tin before. It's so refreshing and warm. Can never thought that Tin's smile were be so…so...
….beautiful...
Can snapped out of his thought. He blinked his eyes a few times and also surprised to why he would have such a thought in mind. Before he could think any further, they already reached the school.
Tin - I'll make sure to come pick you guys up. Have fun and study hard.
Lily and Rose - okay!
Tin gave his umbrella to Rose and waved goodbye to them as they ran inside the school.
The atmosphere switched to awkwardness and the rain wasn't helping either due to pouring nonstop. Can did offered to share his umbrella with Tin but Tin rejected the offer. He walked ahead from Can as he was already soaking wet. Can couldn't bear watching him so he ran and stood beside him, sheltering him with the umbrella.
Tin - (pushed Can with his elbow.) I said I don't need it.
Can - (hesitated) hey I don't want you getting sick okay.
Tin - (turned to look at Can) why? You worry?
Can was about to say something but Tin cuts him off.
Tin - don't be. I like to walk in the rain and I never get sick.
Can - wow, tough guy.
Tin could hear the sarcasm in Can's voice.
Can - I'm not worrying. I just don't want you to get sick later on when there'll be a chance we can go home.

Tin - (looked ahead) if that's the case then you can just go on without me.
Can - (gazed at Tin angrily) we were in this mess together, we will go back together.
Can's voice was steady and loud, almost sounded like a command.
Tin - I didn't mean to make you mad. If for some reason you returned home first, then I will eventually follow behind.
Can didn't want to hear it anymore.
Can - no, this conversation didn't need to happen. Both. Of. Us. Will return home together.
Can looked at the road ahead. They still far from reaching the resting area. How come the way back seems so long now? Especially when he stuck with Tin like this.
Tin - I'm sorry. I know you're not happy because we couldn't go to the station today and I also said stupid things to rubbed it in even more...it was foolish of me. I apologize.
Can - (glanced at Tin without turning his head) I don't get you. Am I the only person who's trying to get us back home or what? I feel like I'm the only one who is frustrating.
Tin stopped walking and made Can stopped also. The truth about Tin, he doesn't want to go back right now. He didn't want to face his reality. He wants to ease his mind here. He wants to heal first before going back. And because of all that, he is happy that today, it rain.
Tin - frustration won't get you anywhere.
Can - I know but at least act like you care a little so I don't have to feel so alone.
Tin's facial softens.
Tin - alone?
Can could hear the concern in Tin's voice.
Tin - is being with me make you feel lonely?
Can - (shook his head) no. I didn't mean it like that--

Tin - I'm sorry. I didn't know… I'll try to be better okay?
Can shook his head again, not wanting Tin to feel bad about himself.
Can - Tin, you don't have to try anything. Just forget what I said.
Tin held onto Can shoulders and pulled him to him. Can was surprised. He tried to pull away but he couldn't.
Tin - I can't forget.
Can's eyes met Tin's. The eyes that used to craved for priority was now showing nothing but innocent and caring. It actually made Can believe that he changes Tin after all.
Tin - you're not going to be lonely anymore. I'll make sure you get to see your family again.

He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems. As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of.

And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn't been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere...

How to raise a Hive Queen
This story is about a newborn Hive Queen, which gets raised in an unexpected environment. The first part of the story will focus on her development and the challenges that come with it. Eventually she will start to produce her own swarm of hive creatures. The species of the Hive Queen is called the Sylv and they are a insectoid species with an hive mind. The Sylv can evolve themselves through extracting traits from other non Sylv creatures. This is limited to modify the basic set of creatures the Sylv can produce, they are not able to create completely new creatures. In this regard they are more like ants, who have workers, soldiers and queen ants. The Sylv live underground in so called hive complexes and use living structures in them to produce more of their kind. The Hive Queen is the leader of a Sylv Hive and responsible for evolving the swarm. This novel takes place in a fantasy setting and was inspired by other hive species like the Zerg from "Starcraft" made by Blizzard Entertainment, the Arachnea from "Her majesty's swarm" published on j-novel club, and the Vex from "I don't want to be the Hive Queen" by ValetheHowl. I really enjoy stories with an organic hive mind species and want to contribute myself. The focus and theme of this story will change as the Hive Queen matures and defines the goals she wants to achieve. If you like this story also check out my other fiction "To former Glory" here on Royal Road :D
