Survival (Zero x Stanley)
I fluttered my tired eyes open as a splash of water hit me right on the bridge of my nose. I blinked.
Rain...? In the middle of a desert?
My questions were answered when, through my blurry vision, I saw my best friend leaning over me in his dusty orange overalls.
"Phew, I was wondering when you'd wake up!" He exclaimed, throwing my hat to my fumbling hands. Standing up in the most awkward way ever, I placed my hat on my head. I glanced up at the sky, pinpointing where the sun was.
"...We'd better get going if we wanna make it back to civilisation." I said, squinting up at the sky. My best friend, Stanley, shook his head.
"No, it's too late. Plus, you need to rest. Do you know how long you been out for?" He continued when I shook my head. "Almost a day." He murmered. I grimaced.
"Oof."
"I thought I'd lost you, Zero, when you didn't wake up..." He hugged me tightly, which almost made me throw up again. I smiled warmly at him and returned the hug.
Maybe surviving in this place wouldn't be so bad after all.
