Crybaby :D

"You know, sometimes even superheroes got mental problems. You, you can, just, talk to someone."
"Yeah, thanks"
They hugged and then in his apartment, everything was set to watch Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. Both of them cried in the end of the movie.

"Hihuhuhyhhhuhhuhu, You know? It was the saddest romantic movie I ever saw! Huhuhuhy" Maya cried loudly.
"So you think Titanic wasn't sad enough?"
"Not as much as this. But the song, yeah, the zong made me cry! Huhuhuhuyu"

Francis offered her a tissue. And then Francis made them coffee, just black coffee for simplicity. And they both enjoy seeing the sunset from his balcony.

"You know, your apartment has the coolest view! Girls will love it here you know! Ohh yeah, so how does it go for you? Got any girls yet?"
"Hahahaha no, not yet. I'm still trying to find the best for me."
"Hahahahhshs what a chad. Don't tell me all this time, deep down you like me huh?"

A moment of silent. As the sun goes down, it pictures the sky in purple to yellow to black gradients. It made the scenery more beautiful.
"Deep down you like me, huh."

Francis went inside to let her think things through, alone. He finally went outside to accompany her.

"Y-y-you know. I'm still happy if we're just friends or anything. I just, didn't want to lose you."
She stared at Francis.
"You're a good friend too, Francis. I guess my best one now."
"Wanna go inside? Wanna go watch anime?"
"What?! You watch anime now? Seriously?"
"Hey! Anime's are cool you know. I can give you some recommendation."
"You know, can I stay here until tomorrow? I don't care what Anime you choose."
"Of course. You can stay here anytime."

Suddenly Maya hugged Francis.
"You're the best, Francis."

She spend the night and they both watched Your Name. Just as usual, Maya cried very loudly, and thinks the movie is the best she ever seen. And after that, they watch 'I wanna eat your pancreas', and she cries again.

"You do know that I am a crybaby right?! So why do you keep playing the sad movies over and over again?! Ohh no, this is not good for me!"
"Hahahha sorry."
"Why do you laugh? Hiks."
"I guess you look cuter when you cry."
"Hey, France."
"Hmm?"
"We gotta fix your pick up line. It's the worst I've ever heard."
"Hahaha, you're right. Now that I think about it, it comes out really bad."
"We should see each other more often you know?"
"But, what about your boyfriend?"
"Are you forgetting something? I already broke up with him! I'm free now!"
"Then, wanna go outside?"
"What?! This late in the night? Where?"
"To a convenience store nearby. Don't worry I'll be protecting you."
"Okay."

They both went outside to buy sandwiches in the convenience store nearby. It was light raining at about 1 am midnight. Not as many cars were seen as when they both go out a year ago. It was more peaceful.

The next day, Maya went back to her housing complex. They promised to see each other again.

For about the next 6 months, their friends thought they are dating. This is the case where the girl is too flexible with her boy bestfriend, and the boy being too shy about it. Despite good advice they told each other in the past about relationship, they can't even make one for another.

Until one day, when it is raining in the university, and the students had to wait in the hall until it clears up. They both forgot to bring their umbrellas, and they stuck with each other for a while. Nothing new, as Maya frequently goes to his apartment in the weekend.

"Hey, May. You remember the scene from The Notebook?"
"What? What do you mean?"
"It's raining now."
"Huh? What, are you a pervert?! Seriously? You're watching a lot of anime now."
"Hahahha, sorry I was just kidding."
"I don't mind it though."
"Huh? What?"
"Let's go outside. And run to my place."

See, in this 6 months, she got to know Francis better. He loves Sci-Fi movies, and he can play romantic songs with a guitar. When she came to his apartment, they often jam together, with her being the singer. Now, she knows why he's being alone all this time.

It was all about her. It's all for Maya.
