I was always told that there was nothing to fear. Kids my age don't get sick, and even if they did they always got better, because kids wasn't meant to be sick. Kids wasn't meant to be sick. That was the dream world, wasn't it? A world where young innocent kids didn't get sick. Even teenagers, who might not be as innocent as kids. A world where kids don't get sick would be an Utopia, but in reality the world was nothing but a harsh and destructive Dystopia.

The rain outside my window was a nice presentation of my mood, how I had felt the last many days... maybe these past two weeks. I wasn't even allowed to go to school, mom and dad had been scared to let me go after my diagnosis. But in reality I wanted to go to school, I wanted to feel like a normal kid. A normal kid that just would have to go to the hospital an uncountable amount of times the next many weeks, months... maybe even years.

The worst of thing of it? They had even denied Niki entrance into the home. I wasn't even allowed to see my best friend, even though it was probably the thing I needed the most at the moment. I needed him to be here, do some weird facial expression or some other weird thing that could cheer me up, just a bit. Just a teeny tiny smile on my face was all I asked for, that was something only Niki could do. Only Niki.

A small knock on my door made my head abruptly turn towards my closed door. As I didn't answer it the knocks echoed out once more.

"I don't want to talk right now mom," I called out before looking back out the window.

Still I heard the door open, just a bit before it closed once again and I sighed before just turning my face even more to my window.

"What if I'm not your mom?" an all too familiar voice spoke up making me snap my head over at the dirty blond boy by my door. My eyes slowly widened and he just grinned widely before rushing over and sitting down across from me, "I sneaked in."

"But... but..." I stuttered and stumbled over my own words before just reaching over and wrapping my arms around Niki's neck. 

Niki let out a small laugh at me before hesitantly wrapping his arms arms around my small form as well, giving me a small squeeze before he softly patted my back and rubbed circles on it once in a while.

"I know..." he muttered, "I know... my mom told me."

"But I don't want to be sick," I complained at him as I pulled away from him.

He almost looked... sad? The ever so happy and playful puppy boy Nishimura Riki, looked sad? 

"Why are you sad?" I questioned and cocked my head to the side.

"Why wouldn't I be sad?" he questioned with a small laugh and quickly pressed his fingers under his eyes, "kids aren't supposed to be sick. Kids like us... and surely not my best friend."

"I'm gonna be fine," I assured him with a small laugh and he just nodded at me, "as long as you promise to be around to cheer me up and do fun things with me."

"I just... I have a really hard time forgetting how you just fainted on me," he excused with a small snort.

"But... if I hadn't we would've never found out and then it would've just have spread more," I reminded him and he just nodded at me, staying silent, "Niki?"

"Hm?" he glanced up at me.

"Can I ask you for a favor?" I carefully questioned making a small smile appear on his face.
