It was a lovely noon. The sun was setting and a group of teens sat on a bench in Yoyogi Park, the sun beamed down on the distraught teens. The weather would be nice if the sun wasn't trying to bake the sins out of a pair of teens, but this didn't bother a boy who was struggling to grasp a childhood friendship. Such nice weather, such a pain to deal with dumb friends.
"Wait.. wait, okay so let me get this straight. Your friend here, Jouhei is a childhood friend who somehow magically came here. So when you found out he was in town, you simply left for god knows how long to find him?"
Naoki simply nodded his head, letting his friend shove words into his mouth trying to put two and two together. Isamu studied Naoki a little before blinking and turning to Chiaki who was sitting next to him on his left texting someone on her phone, he whispered something to her causing her face to scrunch up a little then relax. Chiaki closed her phone then put it away and smiled at Naoki but turned her attention to Raidou.
"So Jouhei you've been friends with Naoki for a while now, when was the last time you guys talked?" Chiaki said with such ease. it was suddenly like the sun's heat turned up and trying to make Raidou confess his lie. But Raidou refused to give up so easily over a small lie
"The last time we talked I believe was 4 years ago" which was an even bigger lie because the last time he had talked with Naoki was 3 days- at least for him. When Raidou left the vortex world he almost collapsed when he was back in his dimension knowing he was safe, he then spent two days allowing his body to relax and then one more day just for safety precautions to make sure Naoki after created his original world with his reason.
Chiaki eyed Raidou like she was trying to piece through Raidou's soul but he didn't seem to give in yet.
"We used to hang out a lot so that's why I came back here, I missed hanging out with Naoki"
Chiaki studied Raidou before getting up and turning to Naoki
"Alright well It's nice to know your not dead Naoki but I'm pretty your parents probably don't know so you should go home"
Chiaki gestured for Isamu that it was time to go. The teens walked to the entrance of Yoyogi Park, Chiaki and Isamu waved bye to Naoki and Raidou while Isamu still scolded Naoki for being so careless. Naoki didn't wasn't paying attention to Isamu when he was scolding him because he was more focused on the fact that he and Chiaki were holding hands
Had they always been this close?
"Hey Jouhei"
Raidou looked over to Chiaki who has called him, he wasn't used to other people using his real name yet.
"Make sure you're taking care of Naoki, he always somehow finds himself in trouble"
Raidou didn't protest to this because well it's true but Naoki did because from the corner there was a No I don't! Met with Yes you do Naoki its true. At that Raidou did the slightest bow goodbye while trying to force Naoki to walk away from Chiaki and Isamu whom he was attempting to glare to death. Naoki only paid attention to Raidou trying to get his attention is when he grabbed Naoki's hand, at that Naoki stopped death glaring and somewhat angry yelling at Isamu and Chiaki. All three teens looked at the hand holding then Raidou. Raidou didn't dare look at any of them. Naoki who seemed to have his soul leave his body yet collected enough bravery to say finally say goodbye to his friends then speed-walked with Raidou holding his hand. The two male teens left the others to question what was going on.
The boys finally arrived after a long walk at the Kashima household. Outside the house was a small parked car, so there was a chance both of Naoki's parents were home. Naoki whether he wanted to admit it or not was scared to come and see angry parents. Naoki can only assume this because he faced so many demons he was yet to be used to being a kid again or that fact that he knew he wasn't raised in a barn, he didn't know which one scared him worst. Now Raidou must have sensed his uneasiness or something because he squeezed his hand.
Oh, right. The holding hand thing
