TW: swearing, mentions of a bad discussion, stalking, mentions of past abuse, mentions of self harm (cuts)
One year and eleven months before the day
Megumi's POV
Uhh, there are too many people here. It is no wonder, after all this is a university, but as I am not familiar with anyone here this hambiente is kind of strange...this place seems heavier in some way I can't explain...
I look at the place. It's not as big as I though it was... But still there are a lot of people. I hate crowds. To be honest I came to the conclusion that I hate a lot of things...
I stop in front of the white gates from which several students leave. It shouldn't be difficult to find him right? After all, there aren't many people with pink hair and scars under each eye.
After about two minutes, I turn around quickly when I feel a hand on my shoulder.
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you" the boy with pink hair I was looking for says, putting is hands up as if making sure he's showing me he won't touch me again.
I let out a sigh of relief and relax my shoulders when I see that it's just him. I have to get rid of these reflexes, it's been over a year now and I should be convinced that I'm fine.
"No problem" I answer to the smiling boy in front of me.
He gestures with his hand for me to follow him towards a small path beside the school and so I do, but one thing is bothering me...why does he remain silent.
Why doesn't he speak?
This is killing me.
I look to the side to see him looking at the ground, kicking the little rocks on the sidewalk. When his eyes go up to meet mine, I can't help asking.
"Why are you so silent when you are alone with me?" he stops walking, without taking his eyes off mine.
He seems a little shocked by the question but he quickly recovered himself, walking again while answering
"I don't want to upset you"
Wait what?
"What do you mean?" I ask confused by his answer
"You look like an interesting person and I want to become your friend... So I didn't want to upset you... I mean you are very quiet and I thought it would bother you if I talked too much" he says, almost in a whisper.
After a while of silence, I compose my thoughts to speak.
"You don't bother me."
His head lifts to look me in the eyes "The truth is, i like to hear you speak. You don't demand that i give you great answers and you don't care that i keep silent...it's like your words fill my silence..."
He stops walking, but I don't. I don't even recognize myself. Why am I giving myself so much trouble for this boy!?
"You...You like to hear me speak?"
I turn to look at him, he still has his eyes on the floor but a smile can be seen on his face. I just nod, and he quickly takes a small leap towards me.
I am a little surprised by the sudden change in attitude but a small smile can also be seen on my face
"Well, let's get going! I'm sorry, but now I can't shut up. Also I just remembered there is a cafe with amazing sweets and cakes a few minutes from here! What do you think about going there?" I just nod, maintaining my small smile thanks to his enthusiasm.
"Say Fushiguro, what is your favorite sweet?" he asks in is usual cheerful voice.
I think for a while. What is my favorite sweet?
Honestly I have no idea. I never ate a lot of sweets or cakes or anything that normal kids like to eat.
