"Hey Gray, Y/n, check this out." Stephen said as he showed us a.. pin for.. mattress sheets?
"Ta da! It's a pin for mattress sheets I snagged! Just clip this on and the pants don't drop even without a belt!" Stephen exclaimed excitedly.
"That's silly.." Gray deadpanned before sighing.
"It's not! Y/n what do you think?" Stephen asked while looking at me.
"Hm? Oh uh, I think it's.. uhm.. cool! Very cool!" I tried to say excitedly.
"See? She gets it!" Stephen exclaimed while pointing at me.
"Stephen, what are you trying to do?" Gray asked while looking up at Stephen.
"You donated all your prize money, and got all kinds of support from the district program.. I just don't understand, what are you gaining out of all this?"
"I'm curious too actually.. I mean I think what you're doing it thoughtful I guess, but why?" I added, I was really curious as well.
Stephen always did do these good deeds but what was the reason for doing them?
"It makes everyone happy, and that makes me happy. So I guess it's some kind of self-satisfaction?"
'Oh.. that's sweet.' I thought to myself.
"Whatever it is though, Gray, Y/n, I can tell you both about all of it. For some reason, I feel like you're the only ones who could understand me, all of me, for who I am."
I took what Stephen just said to heart. I've never had a friend tell me this before, so it made my heart feel really happy.
"Your head's up in the clouds again, Stephen."
"Hehe."

"There more of them than you both think, kids that are tight on money." Stephen stated, referring to the kids struggling to pay for their lunch.
I was one of them, until I asked our teacher about it and he said that it was paid for already. I was confused about it at first but I didn't push further on it, one less thing to worry about.
"Well, there aren't any in our class." Gray added.
"Of course there aren't any in our class, I used the financial support and prize money from those competitions I entered." Stephen explained calmly.
My eyes widened a bit. He payed for it? It was him?
I looked down.
'I feel sorta embarrassed now..' I thought to myself.
"Y/n? You ok?" Gray asked me, noticing me looking down, I guess that he thought I was sad or something I don't know.
