"It's ok if I call you that, right?" You asked

"It's ok if I call you that, right?" You asked.

"Yeah, sure."

You both arrived at the coffee shop, the waitress guided you to a table inside, you preferred the outside but since it was raining, you had to sit inside.

"Why did you mention my future kids?" You asked him.

"Nothing else came to my mind."

"What if I had told you I didn't want kids?"

"I don't know, but i'm glad it didn't happen." You both laughed. "And i'm glad I was passing by."

"I think i'm glad too, it's been really hard for me these days, and I reached my limit I guess."

"So you were"

"Yeah, the girl kidnapped by Bonten, that's me." You interrupted and you saw how he almost spit out his coffee.

"You what? I was going to ask if you were really going to jump."

"Oh." You stayed silent.

"So you met him."

"Who?"

"Mikey." Everything around seemed to stop, all the thoughts came back to your mind. How's that, suddenly, everyone knew who Mikey was?

"I did. You know him?" He nodded.

"We're childhood friends, well, we don't talk anymore but I still consider him my friend." He gave you a sided smile.

"Oh." Was all you could say.

You both continued sharing random things about your lives, he helped you distracting you from what you wanted to do, he reminded you a little to Kakucho, but you brushed those thoughts away.

"You would definitely get along with my girl." Draken said.

"Oh, you have a girlfriend, that's nice." You grinned.

"Yeah, her name was Emma." He smiled playing with his hands.

"Was?" He nodded.

"She passed."

"I'm really sorry, Draken. It must have been really hard for you." You rubbed his arm trying to console him. He shook his head.

"She was a beautiful strong woman, and very funny too." He laughed. "Just like you, that's why you two would get along."

"I wish I could have meet her." You gave him a little smile. "My brother died too, but it was many years ago and I found out recently." You sighed. "He was everything for me, but I think it's better that way, because this world is cruel, and i'm sure they're somewhere better."

"You're right." He smiled. "But we should keep going until our day comes, not forcing it, right?" You nodded.

"Right." Spending time with Draken helped you to distract yourself from the things you went through. You realized that you weren't the only one going through hard things, but it wasn't a reason to stop, and specially it wasn't something for you to give up.
