Henri:
"WHAT HAPPENED? WHERE HAVE YOU'VE BEEN? ARE YOU OKAY?"
Khris:
"Can I tell you over dinner?"
As we are walking to a new local restaurant, he was staring at me. He didn't realize I noticed

A/N: henri uses he/they if you didn't notice but to make it less complicated I will use they/ them when speaking aloud and he/him when Khris or any other person is thinking about henri.

I could feel his eyes staring into my side, I wonder what he was thinking about. Was he worried or maybe angry, after all I did leave him after I killed our best friend. when we made it We sat down and instantly was bombarded with questions.
Henri:
"So... what happened?"
Khris:
"Well.. I tried to commit but I survived some how and landed in the UK, by "land" I mean I was swepped  into the UK. I decided to let people believe I was dead and live there. Then I meant some friends and then found out... my mother died and decided to come back to her funeral with some of them. As a way to have closure I guess."
Henri:
"Are you okay? I mean considering the circumstances?"
Khris:
"Yeah, well your standards for okay and mine are completely different if you forgot."
Henri:
"Yeah, I remember one time your hand was broken and you "shook it off" and said you were okay all while balling your eyes out."
We burst into laughter remembering all of the times we had together, our food came and we Devoured our food, we had some simple steak and burger. As I was telling henri what happened in those two years I look out the window and see that It was raining. My face lit up and as I turn to Henri I ask him if he remembers what we used to do when it rained on days like this.
Khris:
"Hey do you remember what we used to do on days like this."
Henri:
"Remember? How could I forget!!"
We exit the restaurant leaving the bill and a tip and as we exit we laugh at the cold rain falling on our heads and backs. We run to our local convenience store and buy a few things. Steel wool, whisk, dog leash, and a lighter. We run to our spot where we always did it and make sure to hold the lighter in one of our pockets so it doesn't get wet, when we make it I pull out all the things we bought and set everything up, Henri is screaming at me jokingly telling me to hurry up. I place the wool into the whisk and latch the leash onto the whisk, we then go to the middle of our spot because there was an indent in the ground which formed a puddle showing our reflection, along with the heavy rain which distorted our reflection which gave a cool effect of sparks surrounding us. We step closer together and try to light the wool and eventually it lights, I grab the leash and spin it over our heads. I look up into henris eyes and I.. just... stare. This is why I liked him, his freckles, his awkwardly kit alike smile, the scars on his hand from his cat knalu, all of these made him mesmerizing to me. As the light from the wool fades, and the last spark gets snuffed out by the rain and puddle I just keep staring. I wanted to kiss him soo bad, I've wanted to kiss him for the longest time, ever sense I met him I wanted to kiss him. But every time I just back out.. like just now I look down and hug him. We start talking about Khristopher.

Khris:
"Have you seen him yet?"
Henri:
"Yeah, I visit him every week,how about you. Have you visited him sense  you came back"
Khris:
"No, How could I, Im the reason he's dead."
Henri:
"How many times do I have to tell you before you believe me. You didn't kill him, there was no way to know."
Khris:
"Yeah.. whatever you say."
After we leave the puddle we go our separate ways, as I'm walking back "home" I think about Khristopher, we were best friends, me, Khristopher, and Henri. We met in the seventh grade, and stayed together till high school. But things changed after his death, after I killed him. We were so close and for some reason I just couldn't tell what was happening, I was so ignorant towards him and his issues, what kind of friend does that. As I'm opening the door to my apartment I hear kit and Cormac talking. They said hi to me as I'm walking to my room to bath and change. Once I finished which don't take to long cause I didn't want to stay in the water after all the rain and get changed I head back into the living room. Kit and Cormac are still there but they aren't talking. I sit in between them and sigh. They turn to me and ask what's wrong.

Kit & Cormac:
"You okay?"
Khris:
"Yeah I'm fine, I just saw my best friend slash crush after two years of not talking to them or trying to contact them."

Kit:
"Yikes"
Cormac:
"Yeah... how did it go?"
Khris:
"As well as it could go after leaving your best friend after both of your best friend dies."

Awkward and solum silence ensue over the room.
Khris:
"Sorry.. didn't mean to ruin the mood."
Kit & Cormac:
"It's okay, no biggie."
Cormac:
"Wanna watch a movie?"
Khris:
"Yeah.. sure"
Cormac:
"Kit?"
Kit:
"Yeah I don't mind"

We  watch a movie called "words on a bathroom wall"
Honestly I don't think cormac could've made a more obvious hint that he was worried about my mental health. If you don't know words on a bathroom wall is a movie about a boy who struggles with schizophrenia. He meats a girl that helps him find ways to separate himself from his illness and live without it being a constant demon in his life. But of course he also has a spiral plummet regarding his mental health in the middle of the show.  I finished the movie but kit and cormac fell asleep on top of me. I didn't mind of course, falling asleep in the middle of movies seemed like a common theme with kit and the cast. On top of that I didn't have to touch my mothers room. I haven't even slept in her bed yet.

A/N: hey sorry for the wait, I loss motivation and I got regents coming up so I've been studying. Also I know I said no smut and I'm going to be living up to that so just look at this thing between Henri and Khris as either hard romance or fluff if that's the right word.
