## Card Story

Looking around the various streets was both familiar and new for Selene. Where the old shops of their childhood lay, new ones had begun making their mark next to them.. Up ahead were Kazumi and Cammie, showing Selene around the area.

It was strange, seeing their boyfriend and someone they used to have a crush on speaking so amicably with each other, while Selene calmly listened in to the duo’s exchange. If Selene was a different person and hadn’t connected with Cammie the way they had over the two years since Dream Hour’s debut, Selene was sure they’d probably have asked Kazumi out.

Selene was glad that didn’t come to pass. After all, Kazumi’s friendship was something that they held near and dear to their heart. Trying to ruin the years of friendship they had with romance was selfish. Selene couldn’t ask that of Kazumi.

Selene guessed they must’ve been a bit too quiet, because both boys were now turned around staring at them, almost as if they had asked a question and were waiting on Selene’s response.

“Ah I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. C-could you repeat it again?”

Damn stuttering, where did that come from?

Luckily, neither of the boys noticed and if they did, they chose not to say to spare Selene the embarrassment. Cammie was the first to break the silence, softly laughing before choosing to repeat what he had asked Selene with a soft smile tracing his lips.

“We just wanted to know if there was anywhere you wanted to stop by, maybe get something to take back?”

Cammie’s soft smile returned after asking that question, picking up on the small blush that painted Selene’s cheeks and ears.

Kazumi, having detected the lack of response and hoping to fill the silence, responded.

“Hmmm, there’s this area I think you’d both like. Follow me.”

Cammie and Selene both looked towards Kazumi and then at each other, before nodding and letting Kazumi take the lead.

It was silent, as Kazumi led the way towards the mystery area, but it was comforting. Despite neither parties talking, they were all just enjoying each other's company. No words were needed to understand that all three of them felt safe and comfortable.

After a few minutes of walking they arrived at their destination. Kazumi and Cammie entered the shop, but Selene stayed back.

It was cake. But something stood out to Selene. It was decorated just the way their grandmother used to do it. It was always simple, but always fit the mood of the holiday they were celebrating.

Selene’s grandmother never poured countless amounts of money into making cake. It was all made with love. Love for her grandkid that she had raised.

Selene could only stare in awe and fondness, making small tears prick at their eyes. It was true what they said. Even when someone is long gone, you can be reminded of them in the most unlikely of places.

Wiping away the tears, Selene stepped into the store and joined Cammie and Kazumi. The small memory of their grandma reminded them exactly what life is about. Both Cammie and Kazumi represented that. These two would always be special to Selene. One being their boyfriend, and the other being a trusted friend. Love, friendship, and family. Love in Cammie, friendship in Kazumi and family in Dream Hour.

Ordering the cake from the display, Selene thanked the cashier and held the box in hand, walking out of the store with the other two. They also held a box in their hand, perhaps something sweet that suited both their likings.

Walking towards a nearby bench, Selene placed the box down and ushered both Kazumi and Cammie over. Making sure the box was secure, Selene smiled fondly at both of them.

Giving Kazumi a hug and thanking him for all he’s done for Dream Hour in their time in America, allowing their fan event to succeed. Kissing Cammie on the cheek, thanking him for all the gifts, all the encouragement and all the love he’s shown to them over the past 2 years.

Sure, their life was far from perfect. But at the end of the day, Selene was as happy as one can be today. And that was okay for now.
