Let me be with you overnight

One Shot

The night was beginning to be cold, the street was illuminated with the lights of the city, which, despite where it was, looked powerful, as well as distant, a light breeze blew, moving her hair slightly, he let out a sigh and closed her eyes in an attempt to calm down.

- Hey - He spoke in a low tone behind him, making him turn around to see him.

He was surprised to see him standing there, he was about to get up, but rejected the idea, instead lowered his head a little and moved to one side, inviting the opposite to sit next to him on the ledge. She walked slowly to stand next to him, leaned down, hugged her own knees and looked at him, wondering how to start a conversation.

- Did my father ask you to come? - In the end it was he who began to speak. He sighed heavily at the tone of annoyance in his voice, stopped looking at him and focused on the city lights, while the opposite kept his gaze fixed on the sky.

- Yes - He couldn't find a way to decorate that answer - He told me that they you two argued - He raised his head, trying to identify one of the few visible stars - And I know that when you get angry you like to see the moon, so I thought about looking for you in somewhere like this.

The final sentence made him click his tongue. How many places did Saru have to search to find him? He didn't want to carry that on his conscience.

The silence quickly became uncomfortable, to the point where he regretted having been honest with him, he was supposed to just find him and convince him to go home, but it seemed like he would achieve the opposite.

- I don't understand why he's getting you into this - Fei's voice sounded annoyed, at the same time that he seemed tired and distant - I also don't understand what he expects of me - He lowered his head and clicked his tongue again, kicking the air.

- Look - He stopped for a few seconds, waiting for Fei to look at him even out of the corner of his eye - I'm not trying to defend him - Fei frowned even more, which worried him - I understand what bothers you, you not used to having such a strict schedule, I did not give you time limits to do your things - He lowered his head and closed his eyes, searching for the right words to say - Everyone hang on to this, you know? - He looked again into the eyes of the opposite, as serious as always - And you have to understand that anyone would be worried if you left your house in the middle of an argument - He lowered his head again and sighed, looking city - I was worried when the message came.

Fei's face showed regret for a second, as he moved a few inches closer to Saru, but he regretted it and returned to his initial pose, lowering his gaze.

- That's why I did not want to get you into this - He spoke in a low tone, drawing the attention of the opposite - He always tells me that I have to stop calling you when we argue, but then he is the one who asks you to take me to his house - He clenched his teeth, frowned even more and shrugged his shoulders in frustration - I can go back on my own, I just don't want to.

That last sentence sentenced the conversation, that was more than clear. Saru saw with some pity how the boy rejected his help, while ignoring his presence, lowered his head and sighed, in the end he had only managed to make the situation worse.

- At least I have to tell him that I know where you are - He got up from where he was and started walking to leave the boy alone, however, a tug on his shirt stopped him.

He turned around confused, seeing Fei's face staring at him, regret? Shame? Whatever that expression meant, it was painful to see him like this, he swallowed hard.

- Is it okay if I stay with you? - He didn't know what to answer, he hesitated a bit as he turned around - I know I can't go to disturb your house, that's why, at least I want to be here with you - Fei lowered his head sadly, speaking in whispers - Please, Saru - He tightened the grip tightly, accentuating the wrinkles in the fabric.

- Fei ... - He dropped his shoulders, he did not understand why it was so uncomfortable to see the boy in that state, he gritted his teeth, they were supposed to be friends, he was trying to help and it only made everything worse, he was only making Fei feel feeling worse, he swallowed again.

Fei sighed while laughing lightly, he was regretting what he had said, he began to loosen his grip on the fabric.

- I'm sorry, I shouldn't have bothered- - He stopped when he saw Saru approaching his side, sitting closer to him - Saru ... - He completely released the older boy's clothes while looking somewhat surprised, Saru saw him out of the corner From the eye with his usual serious face, he closed his eyes and sighed, then opened them and smiled at her, a smile that he only showed to him and Tenma, Fei smiled at that - Thank you - He dropped his shoulders, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

- I still have to tell your father - Saru looked at the sky again - I have to explain that you will be with me all night and that we will find a place to sleep, so we will not disturb my house.

- Sure - He smiled more broadly, grateful for the support that Saru was giving him.

- Something happens? - He looked confused at the green haired boy, who blushed when they looked back at him.

- No - He shook his head quickly when he noticed that he had been looking the other boy for a long time, leaving Saru even more confused - I'm happy, that's all - He lowered his head, his eyes fell on Saru's hand that was right next to him, he clenched his own fist somewhat hesitantly, then intertwined some of his fingers with Saru's, who blushed slightly at the touch and looked away, which made Fei see him with some tenderness - If I'm with you, I don't care where we spend the night - He smiled more broadly and looked at the moon again.

That last sentence caught the attention of Saru, who glanced at Fei, feeling calmer when he saw the boy smile. If Fei said that, it meant that her bond was not at risk, he was glad to think of that, even if he was wrong in her words, he would not be responsible for Fei losing her smile.

At least not this time.
