I never thought it'd get this bad, Y/n huffed as she rubbed her cold arms.
With her thin hoodie and a sad excuse-of-pants (in which the cheap thread were ready to rip at any given moment), Y/n shivered as she waited for the public bus.
Strangers silently judged her as they passed, but the h/c girl didn't care anymore. All she wanted was to go to her run-down home.
"Where is the bus?!" The (nationality) girl hissed to herself. It had been fifteen minutes, however, the bus still hadn't shown up. Just as she decided to walk home, someone ran into her, knocking her back.
Her head hit the concrete floor violently, and suddenly Y/n's head rang with the 'hello darkness my old friend' meme.
Y/n could've sworn she died- finally, something to match my insides- Y/n sadistically thought.
"AI-YA! ARE YOU OK?! I'M REALLY SORRY!" A voice yelled.
Y/n rubbed her head. "Y-yeah I just-" She glanced up to see a cute girl in a black hat, withadorable chocolate eyes. "Whoa," She whispered, completely mesmerized by her beauty.
Standing up, she pulled her up, also. "I'm really sorry!" She apologized for the second time.
Y/n laughed it off. "Don't worry about it-" She held out a hand. "I'm Y/n L/n."
The girl's soft hand shook her calloused ones. "I'm Yan Wang."
At this point, she didn't care that this girl almost killed her. Yan was extremely cute, and Y/n was ready to ask her out.
Yan covered her mouth, her angelic eyes gleaming with sparkles. "So I was wondering if y-you wanted to- uh, go out with... me?"
The h/c girl chuckled. How cute. "Sure. Where to?"
Her face flushed a bright red.
"What's wrong?"
She played with her hat's flower. "I-I didn't think you'd say yes. It was a little sudden and all, but..."
Y/n laughed, and despite being embarrassed, Yan laughed along. Her date's laugh was incredibly contagious.
"Well, I'll tell you now, we can go anywhere you like. I'm not picky."
Yan nodded, her eyes scanning the area. "I... I'm new here, I don't know where to go, sorry."
"Don't be sorry! I know a great place to eat!" Y/n held out her elbow. "Come on, my treat."
The Chinese girl smiled, and held on her elbow. Y/n led her to a small, modest cafe. It was moderately more expensive than what Y/n's wallet desired, but Y/n figured it was worth the splurge.
As they got seated into a cushioned booth next to the windows, Yan announced she'd pay for her own meal. "I'll pay. After all, I asked, didn't I?"
"No."
"Of course! It was my idea, wasn't it?"
"I'm paying for our meals. After all, I'm choosing where we're eating, right?"
Of course, Yan had no intention of letting Y/n pay for her meal but just smiled sweetly. "Ok, you make a good point."
Taking their seats, a nicely dressed waitress came over, handing the duo their menus.
After searching through, Y/n decided on a sandwich.
Yan chose the same meal.
Y/n noticed this. She'd chosen a cheap sandwich so her date could splurge a little... "You can choose something else, you know. My wallet can take it."
"No, it's ok. I trust your taste buds have good taste."
Once they ordered the food, it arrived quickly, and the two hungry ladies dove straight into their meals.
Y/n quickly devoured the sandwich, to which Yan laughed at.
"Why are you rushing? Clock is not broken, we have time."
The h/c girl simply grinned. "Eh, can't stop the force of the hungry lady!"
"True," Yan smiled, using her chopsticks to gobble her own meal.
Soon enough, they moved onto personal topics, like their lives.
Y/n wasn't aware, but she vented her life, all the perils of her impoverished family. How they constantly were evicted, usually on the streets, or hopping between couches.
"It's a hard life, but now I'm slowly making a living for myself," Y/n smiled. Her eyes watched Yan's sad face. "Ahh, sorry. I didn't mean to pour all that on you. I just... It's good to have someone to talk to, you know?"
"Of course, it's no trouble," The short girl reassured. Soon after, they finished eating. Y/n paid the bill, (after much protesting from Yan) and the two went for a stroll around the town.
Yan held onto Y/n's arm. "Y-you don't mind this... Right?"
The (nationality) girl glanced at Yan, who's eyes wouldn't meet hers. Her onyx eyes glimmered with a faraway look in them, seemingly to contemplate.
"Hey, are you ok?" Y/n asked gently.
She paused before answering. "I had an ex-girlfriend who I loved. She was my everything. I told her all my deepest secrets. We dated for years, and although I wasn't closeted, she told me she couldn't come out.
"That must be tough." Y/n muttered. "You won't have to worry about that with me. Everyone knows how gay I am," She joked lightly.
Yan let out a small laugh. "Yeah, but... she wasn't really gay. I think. Because I caught her cheating on me."
"What?!"
Some of the walking pedestrians glanced at their direction.
Y/n lowered her voice. "Who the fuck did this to you?"
"It doesn't matter," Yan sighed, subtly implying it would be a conversation for another day. "But when I asked why she cheats on me, she only dated me for money... I guess it was my fault, since I bought her so many gifts... I spoiled her. All my friends told me not to, but I didn't listen..."
They passed a street lamp. "I guess... I guess a small part of me wanted to believe that she loved me. I thought gifts would make her stay. She was always scared of being 'found out' by her parents... Guess I was foolish."
"Even if she was closeted, that's no excuse." Y/n huffed. "That doesn't excuse you from making shitty choices."
"Yeah... Hey, Y/n?"
"Yes?"
Yan let out a smile. "Xie, Xie Y/n. You're rich in heart."
Y/n wrapped a protective arm around Yan. "The pleasure's all mine. I promise to take care of you, poor or rich."
