; Just as life was getting tough, you could've sworn you saw flicker of light in them. They brought you hope. A hope you could rely on — with them.
a/n: not even thanksgiving but wtv.
You had just met them a few days ago. You didn't expect much from them, thinking they were some typical friend group that can easily fall apart. Except, you were invited to join them in thanksgiving. How could you say no to them? They were kind. To you. To everyone. It was too good to be true — after all, most of the groups you've seen had their downfalls.
"puh—leaasseee, y/n? it would be so much fun with you around!" Aubrey whined, she was the reason you were here in the first place. The rest smiled at Aubrey's plea. Mari let out a warm laugh, agreeing with the girl "We're not forcing you to, we'd like to get to know you better and thanksgiving is best way to do so!" Mari claimed, the others agreeing along with her. You hesitated, opening your mouth to say something like 'I can't' but you closed them before you could even say anything. "I think I could come..." you muttered, smiling at them.
"Ha! Awesome!!" — "Yay! It's gonna be so much fun!!" — "Don't force yourself to join, y/n." — "..." — "Hehe, we'll have so much memories together."
They all voiced one by one, expressing their excitement to you. The smile you gave suddenly grew.
As the hangout went on, you started to realize maybe this group was meant to be. Their shared laughs, their rants — before you could even realize, you were warming up to them.
Going out of the house, your legs started walking by their own, heading to the house that they had told you to go to just in case if you would actually come. You couldn't help yourself, their warmth was something you craved for. Hope.
Sunny and Mari's house came to view. Mari ushered the rest in as Sunny peeked out the door, noticing you and nodded in acknowledgement. You could hear Kel and Aubrey's bickering as you came closer. "Y/n!! You're here!" Aubrey noticed, waving at you enthusiastically. "You actually came!" Kel exclaimed, grinning from ear to ear. "Y/n, hello!" Basil smiled softly. You liked him, he was usually gentle with everyone aside from Mari. You never felt such excitement before. "Mhm! Hi guys!" You returned the smiles coming from them. "Hello, y/n." Hero greeted, nodding at you. "Oh, y/n! Just in time. Come on now everyone!" Mari hummed, ushering everyone in now.
Maybe this was the warmth you've been looking for all along.
