Juvenile Detention Center

3 days before Christmas

Misaki's P.O.V

"...and then Manjiro fell straight onto his face!" Misaki excitedly shouted, a loud laugh erupting from her lips a second after.

"That's not surprising." Kazutora chuckled, a smile on his face. 

"Oh yeah, definitely not surprising. He said he hadn't gone ice-skating before, but jeez, only he could manage that so quickly." 

She then shook her head. "Anyway, that's enough about me. How have things been for you?" 

Kazutora hummed and leaned his head on the counter in front of her. 

"Boring. There's nothing interesting happening back here. Just a bunch of delinquent dumbasses all trying to out-do each other." 

"I guess that makes sense. You've stayed out of that stuff, right?" She asked, eyebrow slightly raised. She had been visiting Kazutora as much as she could in the last couple weeks, and they had become closer. That being said, she didn't want to see his sentence lengthened for any other reasons, as it was already long enough at 10 years.

Rightfully so, but still. 

He raised his hand up into the air lazily, pointing three fingers upwards. "Haven't gotten into any trouble, scouts honor." 

She rolled her eyes but chuckled nonetheless. 

"Good. And hey, Keisuke says he'll be visiting you soon." 

His eyes widened every so slightly, a nervous aura beginning to exude from him.

"...I don't know if that's a good idea," He started, eyes downcast. "Is he even sure?" 

Misaki understood his nervousness. He was the one who stabbed him, after all. She sent him a small reassuring smile and nodded.

"He's sure. Besides, if he wants to see you, you owe it to him." She said in a teasing tone, hoping to lighten up the suddenly tense mood.

"He's feeling good, and I'm sure he wants you to know that too." 

Kazutora clenched his hands into fists before nodding. A brief silence sat between the pair for a moment, until it was interrupted by a loud and familiar BUZZ. 

"Oh shit, I didn't even realize I've been here that long." Misaki muttered to herself, glancing at the watch on her left wrist. She had, in fact, been here during the entirety of visiting hours. Sending a apologetic glance towards Kazutora, she rubbed at the back of her neck. "Sorry for taking so much of your time. I hope no one else was planning on visiting today." 

Kazutora shook his head slowly, a large smile appearing on his face. "I've got nothing else going on and no one else has really seen me." 

Misaki felt herself sweat drop and her brow twitch.

I put my foot in my mouth big-time.

Kazutora, who quickly noticed her concerned expression, waved it off. "Don't worry, it doesn't bother me. Besides, being able to see you makes me happy." 

She felt a warmth appear in her chest at his words and she nodded towards him while standing and grabbing her things.

"Until next time then, Kazu!"
