"You know this person?" She asked to you.
My heart clenched as my gaze never left your beautiful caramel brown eyes, anxiously waiting for you to reply her question.
My head flooding with nothing other than the images of how I have touched your ski...
For the past one week I kept visiting you in and out, alternatively, just for your sake. And you seemed rather welcoming to it. However, initially we didn't spend much time though, more like I was reluctant to spend more time with you. I would pay you a quick visit after my classes, casually checking on your injured palms and leaving asap. Because to be honest, I didn't have anything to talk to you. Second, my guards were still pretty high.
Anyhow, it was quite unusual of 'you' to initiate a cordial conversation with 'me' later on whenever I visited. I could clearly see how you were trying your best to bring things back to how it used to be between us, our bond. You put full effort to make me feel comfortable back again around you. And your trick kinda worked, for with time, the awkwardness between us began to slowly diminish.
Later on, we bagan to delve in healthy conversations, like about certain poetries and novels, or random paintings and antiques. Got to know alot about them from you. Some days we really get lost in deep philosophical talks. Some days you would challenge me for Gomoku game, which of course you always won. And some other days, we would simply sit down and peacefully read your library books in silence.
It was a tranquil feeling.
The more days passed, the more I felt things falling back to normal, or so is how you made me feel. In those days I witnessed how your soft smiles could turn into melodic chuckles, which then could grow into wide boxy grins, which later on escalates to deep hearty laughs. Genuine ones. And I was truly astonished at the way you were opening up to me. Makes me wonder why you hid such beautiful laughs from this world for this whole time.
I also learnt few more astonishing things about you though. Like how your one loud sneeze could break the entire building down, to how you could swallow an entire big slice of cake into your mouth within a second. One day I even caught you speaking to your pimple alone.
Weirdness at its peak. But oh, how adorable I found them all.
Sometimes in the midst of our tranquil moment, I would sense you urging to say something to me desperately, but then again, you never did. Almost making me think it was all in my head.
Anyhow, with time I saw you quitting the stage of receding and stepping into a stage of thriving, and I couldn't be more glad.
Looks like 'the risk' was worth taking of.
If it's a 'friend' that you need, then it's a 'friend' that I am gonna be for you until this temporary scandalous period of your life calms down and you are finally free to go back in the public again. And I guess afterwards my presence won't be required anymore, which I am actually relieved about.
"You seemed to be in a deep thought."
-You spoke, snapping me from my trail of thoughts.
"What's it about?"
-You asked gazing up at me as I changed the dressing of your right hand.
