âmidnight meet-cuteâ
The light-sounding music playing on the speakers contrasted from the gloomy storm outside. Behind the counter of a coffee shop, Xen busied herself with a dirty mug while humming along to the rhythm. It was long into the night, and she had unfortunately been persuaded into a double-shift at work.
Now, with all but ten minutes of her shift, Xen was excited to finally leave. Not that her place of work was bad, itâs just, work is exhausting! Regardless of the kind! She tapped a little to the Christmas song, smiling a bit as she mumbled over the lyrics. This time of year was nice, when things were a bit less tense. Her teachers let up on the homework load, albeit just a little cause finals were coming up, and she could actually relax some.
Just her luck though, because of course a last-minute customer comes in.
The customer in question was a taller guy. His white hair a mess from taking his motorcycle helmet off. He wore a long white coat with a fur collar, which Xen found strange but not completely out-of-place. He walked up to the counter, his eyes trained on the menu above her.
Holding in a sigh, Xen put on her best customer service voice and greeted the boy.
âWelcome, what can I get you tonight?â Xen asked, straining a smile.
The boy looked at her, as if just now realizing she was there. âOh, just a black coffee, please.â
âOf course.â She nodded, reciting the steps of making the order in her head. âPretty brutal weather weâre having, right?â
The boy did a double-take and kind of awkwardly shuffled in place. âUh, yes.â
Xen, reading the room, quickly turned away and focused on her task. Clearly the boy wasnât interested in idle conversation, and Xen was not going to encourage it. Her co-worker already left all she wanted to do was go home and sleep.
Putting on the lid of the cup, Xen slid the drink toward the boy and rang up his order. He quickly paid without a word and left. And so did she, though she had to clean up the coffee machine. Again.
A few minutes later, Xen locked the front doors and stepped out into the windy storm. She threw on her hood and steadily walked down the city streets. She began the long trek to the subway station, as winter in this city was never kind, Xen almost slipped a total number of seven times.
Nobody was out on the streets at this time, at least not in this part of the city. But for some reason, Xen couldnât help but feel a little on edge. Playing with the house keys in her pocket, Xen tried to calm herself. It was most likely because of nerves at being out so late. Nothing to worry about.
And she stuck with that, for all of about ten minutes.
Reaching the station, Xen waited by the platform and started scrolling through her phone. This was mistake number one, ie, not paying attention to her surroundings. Mistake number two was not acknowledging the distant crash sound coming from the subway tunnel. Sheâd glanced up but figured it was nothing, if not just some rats or something. Mistake number three was getting on the subway.
Three strikes, youâre out.
Once they started moving, Xen felt something move the train. It was small, but not small enough to just ignore. It wasnât like the typical rough movements expected from the subway, no, this was different.
She looked around, and there was a louder thump. This time, it shook the whole car, reverberating into her own. Xen gripped the iron bar beside her, looking to the back of the subway. Her finger hovered over the 911 button, and her leg bounced with anxiety and anticipation.
However, before she could react, something huge crashed right through the train. For a few seconds, Xen watched as the creature crushed the car with ease. After those seconds were over, though, all she felt was adrenaline and fear.
The train came to a violent stop and Xen was thrown out of her seat, hitting her head on one of the metal poles.
Regaining consciousness seconds later, Xen pushed herself up, trying to decipher what was happening around her. Her ears were ringing and there was a fuzziness in her head. She looked around, noting the very big gap between her car and the next one over. Slowly, Xen crawled towards the opening, peering around the edge.
There was a large corridor beside the tracks, and she could hear lots of banging and crashing coming from it.
All she wanted was to lay there and wait for help, or maybe even try navigating the complex subway system. But after brief consideration of both, Xen came to the conclusion that she was not in the right state to look around. Sheâd either end up lost or get mugged by some junkie.
Making up her mind, Xen focused herself and hopped from the train floor to the rail beneath it. The ground was ripped apart and many pieces of the iron subway car laid strewn about the tunnel. But that wasnât enough to discourage her.
No, Xen wanted to go home. But to make that happen she needed a way out. And what better way than to follow the people who caused your situation in the first place?
âUgh..â Xen groaned, walking toward the long corridor.
Using the sounds of fighting to lead her, eventually leading her to a large drop off. The area was well-lit by construction lights, which allowed her to see the two fighting.
The large creature from earlier, who seemed like some kind of lizard-scorpion hybrid, was attacking a person. Not an ordinary person, though. The one fighting back was riding a motorcycle, occasionally shooting at it with a whispy-looking gun. Whoever it was wearing a long white coat and a helmetâŚ
WaitâŚ
Didnât they look kind of familiar?
She canât finish her thought unfortunately, because the lizard-scorpion suddenly stopped. Snapping its head toward her, the creature roared and weird-looking fan things spread out from its neck. It sort of reminded her of that one dinosaur from Jurassic Park.
Then, it started running toward her.
âOh shit!â Xen shouts, jumping from the realization and looking around wildly for an escape route.
That doesnât get her anywhere though, because the thing jumps toward her. Opening its gigantic mouth, Xen has a second to see the hundreds of teeth lining itâs jaws. Frozen, Xen canât help but watch as it gets closer, and closer. Until, finally, sheâs broken out of it by a quick motion.
In a matter of seconds, Xen was grabbed around the waist and thrown on the back of a motorcycle.
âHang on!â The person commanded, and Xen followed along.
She did not want to add âfalling off a motorcycle while being chased by a monsterâ as one of her bucket-list bullet points.
The person- no, guy? Man? Boy?
BoyâŚ
Boy.
Boy!
Noticing the fur of his coat and the white color of the rest flying wildly in the air, Xen realized who this was.
âHey! Youâre the guy who ordered the coffee!â She yelled, trying to see the front of the boysâ helmet.
He gave her a quick glance, ignoring her statement and amping up the speed.
Xen, for all her bravery, tightened her arms around the boyâs waist. She dared to glance back, spotting the monster following them around the wide space, fast.
It got close once, snapping its razor-sharp jaws at them and the boy sped up even quicker.
âUh, what are you doing?â Xen asked once she noticed the very big ramp thing they were heading for. âUhm, hey, guy, dude?! What the hell are youâ OH MY GOD!â She screamed.
âDonât let go!â He yelled back, throttling the engine with one of the bikeâs handlebars.
They reached the climax of the ramp, and very much ran off it, flying into the air. Xen held on, more out of fear than anything, and she squeezed her eyes shut. She didnât open them until she felt a thump instead of a crash and burning sensation.
She peeked one eye open, looking around until realizing they were driving away from the monster. He was heading down a corridor similar to the one she came from, at very high speeds. They drove for what felt like forever before the chilly night air hit her, and suddenly they were on the surface again.
The boy drove quickly and carefully, somehow, and took her to the bay of the city.
She got off as soon as they stopped, her legs feeling like jello, Xen sat on the curb of the road. Now that the adrenaline had worn off, her head was pounding like crazy, she could practically feel her heart pumping blood into her brain.
Muffled talking made its way into Xenâs ears, and she turned to look at the boy.
He was on the phone with a very tired look on his face. âYeah..yeah I know. I didnât get to finish it off, some civilian from the subway was there. I had to rescue herâwhat? What do you mean âwhy?â I rescued her because itâs my job?â
He grimaced, confused and annoyed. âYes, it is my job, Ada. Itâs yours too, by like, law or something.â
He continued to argue with Ada(?) on the phone until finally hanging up. Running a hand through his hair, the boy finally looked to Xen. Her heart skipped a bit, when their eyes met. His gaze was cold, but gentle.
She cleared her throat, standing up and meeting his eyes, not really though. This guy had like three feet on her at most.
âSooooooo..â She trailed off, not finding any words to describe what had happened. Or any questions to ask.
She just really wanted to go home.
âAre you okay?â The boy sighed. âNothing bleeding or broken?â
âAh, no, I donât think so. I hit my head earlier though, so maybe like, a minor concussion? I dunno, Iâm not a doctor.â Xen laughed nervously, shivering from the cold.
Once again, the boy sighed, and then took off his coat. âHere, youâre freezing.â
Her eyes widened, and the slightest bit of heat rose to her face.
âIâ oh, thanks.â She stumbled, letting him pull it around her shoulders.
âNo problem.â He shrugged. âWe should you get to a doctor, make sure youâre really okay. That cool?â
Meeting his eyes again was a struggle, his gaze was piercing and without exhaustion or adrenaline clouding her mind, Xen found him a little hard not to admire. His face seemed carefully crafted, almost perfect, except for the slight crookedness of his nose.
âYes, I guess thatâs fine.â She finally spoke.
âAlright, get on.â He nodded to the bike. âOh, and wear this.â
The black helmet was placed into her hands, and Xen had about two seconds to process before he was turning on the bike and revving the engine. Swiftly, she secured the helmet and got on behind the other.
âBy the way, whatâs your name?â He asked.
âXen! Yours?â She raised her voice over the loud engine.
âNyxx. Ready?â
âYep.â
And with that, Xen sat as Nyxx drove her into the night, and she wasnât going to lie, she was feeling excited.
Maybe things would be different, this time.

This pièce de rÊsistance is for my bro @3xen who asked me for this in the utmost respectful way. By threatening me.
