'Didn't know you were a bully back in middle school?' I giggled,

Arm and head tilted, both pressed against the door frame of the room he had occupied in the run-down motel of his own home town. He wasn't one for telling personal things, out of the three I didn't know anything about Megumi. Just his name, age, jujutsu and favorite food - which is anything with a side of ginger and hated sweet stuff. I had only found this out by Megumi's old teacher, I felt like I had screwed up somewhat, I didn't even know my own classmate all that well.

He sat with the blanket above his waste, his hair dripping wet, the small bath towel wrapped around his neck and his book laid upon his stomach. Hands flickering the pages, unable to pay attention to the sentence next.

He gave a unheartfelt smile, his finger holding the book open, 'It never came up in conversation.'

I wandered in and sat upon the edge of the bed, before letting my back fall upon his bed. His legs bump in the blankets as my back forms around them. My hands brought in front of my face, as the tears began to flow through.

'I didn't even know you had a sister.' I giggled, crying always seemed to wash away the inner clutter of my mind; he had seen me cry once or twice. Both times because of laughter yet I could never sob all that pretty,

The book smacked down upon his pages as he shot up towards me. His arms lifted in the air confused on what to do as he sat scared and worried.

'Y/n,' he muttered softly

I gave him a soft smile, 'I'm so sorry, I've probably made you feel awful.' I paused and began to brush my tears away slowly, keeping my hand covering my face, 'I haven't even made an effort to know you at all.'

'Do we ever really get to know anyone?'

'No but-' I couldn't even finish my sentence I had muttered so badly,

My hand sternly placed upon my eyes. His hands wrapped around my torso pulling me up into his lap. His arms wrapped tightly, my head by his choice snuggled in his neck as his leg jolted softly rocking me till I soothed.

'I don't understand why you'd cry over me,' I snuggled further into his body,

'You're important, Megumi, you're one of the closet people I can trust with my life I call you one of my best friends and in fact I don't even know that much about you.'

I could hear him softly chuckle. 'In honest truth I've never had anyone cry over me,' he paused as his grip tightened, 'I hadn't made the effort, and I shouldn't have left it to you crying to get me to tell you things.'

I felt his heart race, 'You can ask me anything.'

I smiled and dug my face further in his neck counting the possibilities of questions I could ask him.

'Favorite food?' 'Food that pairs well with ginger.'

'Least favorite food?' 'Sweets and bell peppers.'

'What do you like?' his eyes loomed over the book and smiled, 'Books and the news but it's all bullshit anyway.'

'What causes you great stress?' 'Almost every person.'

'How'd you get into school?' I had dumbly asked him that very question, I pulled my face away from the nape of his neck for the first time and stared at him, a soft smile upon his face.He shoved down so he laid flat my weight adorned upon him. Arms crossed upon his chest as my chin rested upon them. Staring forward towards his thinking face as he replied to all my questions.

'What's your favorite color?'

He paused, 'Black and blu-'

The door squeaked open, the hinges pushed against one another. Akari stared upon her clipboard and it was soonly dropped by her pounding against the floor. Her eyes quickly averted, face flustered.

'I'm so sorry!' she screamed 'i didn't mean to stumble in on your private time!' she shouted, the emphasis of private made it sound like she had caught us in the act of something malicious,

'Private time?!' we shouted in return,

Ran out and my face screamed in colors at Megumis. I slowly pushed my head into his nape letting steam glide off between my hot face and the coldness of his neck.

His hand softly moved and played with my hair as it dangled down my spine, I pulled his other hand and entangled my fingers with his. He had fallen asleep faster than I had known it; his soft breath tickling the hairs of my nape. I moved up softly, his grip weak upon my lower back and hand; his eyes shut tight and lips slightly parted.

I moved down towards his face, my hair brushing his nose making it wiggle slightly; my lips made contact with his forehead hearing his soft mutter. His eyes regrettably opened wide as my face was still inches away from his own.

'Megumi! I thought you were asleep! I'm so sorry!' I bowed my head profusely at him, he smiled and rubbed his eyes,

'I actually didn't wake up because of that.' he paused, 'I needed to pee.' I rolled off him, and played with the blanket as he disappeared to reappear fast enough.

He inched into the bed, his hands reaching for the blanket as he dragged it so it laid just under our shoulders. His shoulders gently placed against my own as I missed the soft delicate touch of his. I guessed he guessed that, his arms wrapped around my stomach, head in my nape pulling my body within his body's protection.

His head lifted up as my cheek was left with a soft kiss. His voice whispered goodnight and if this meant private time like Akari said I would repeat it a thousand times over with Megumi and only Megumi.
