Chapter 2

Satoru's POV

After we both bathed. I lay on my futon staring at the ceiling. It's quiet neither of us have thought of anything to say. I wouldn't say the silence was awkward but it wasn't comfortable either.

"Hey Kenya?"

"What's up?" He turns toward me and I turn as well.

"What was my mom talking about? You know like everything you've done?" It's to dark to tell what his reaction was.

"I don't know. It's probably nothing." I don't believe him but I decide to leave it.

"You know Satoru I really did miss you." My eyes widen and I feel my cheeks go warm. That makes me really happy I missed him too. We haven't really talked since Mr. Yashiro was arrested.

"I missed you too." I hear a small giggle and I feel my stomach do a backflip. I don't know why but I always get butterflies around him ever since we were back in elementary. I yawn and feel myself start to doze off.

"Goodnight Toru." He whispered softly I could hardly hear it.

"Night Ken." And with that I drifted off to sleep.

Kenya's POV

I couldn't really fall asleep. I always struggle sleeping in new places. I'm happy to be here though. I wanted to see Satoru and (his mom of course) all this time but I didn't know how. After all the time in Satoru's coma I don't really know how to act around him anymore. Before his coma we spent so much time together, everything was so easy. I knew how to hide my feelings. After he woke up I had no know idea what to say or how to act. I'm always in constant fear that something will happen again. I love the time I spent with him in his coma but I don't want it to happen again. Although I cherish those moments I hated seeing him like that. All hooked up to wires. During that time it was so hard not being able to see his smile, hear his voice, and see how flustered he got when I teased him.

I sigh and turn to face him. I hear his steady breaths and my mind goes back to him in the hospital bed.

Ugh stop it! He's okay!

I stand up and leave the room careful not wake him. I head to the kitchen and get a glass of water doing my best to clear my mind. Once I feel good enough I go to head back to Satoru's room.

"Hey Kenya, are you okay? Come here." Satoru's mom says from the couch. She sits up to give me room and I sit next to her and cover my face with my hands.

"Hey what's wrong." She puts an arm around my shoulder.

"I don't know what to do."

"What do you mean?" I sigh and look at her. My eyes starting to tear up.

"I don't know how to act around him. Everything is so different, he's matured and I don't know what to do. I just keep thinking back to him is his coma. I just'" I sigh "I just don't know." A tear slips.

"What do you want to do?" Ugh that doesn't help!

"I want to be there with him. I want to be close like we were back then. Yeah of course I wanna be with him but it's not that easy. I'm so scared that I'll let something slip. Like what if he finds out about me taking care of him during his coma. What if he finds out!" More tears are coming now.

"Would it really be that bad?" I look back at her and she smiles a soft smile.

"What if he thinks it's weird!" She giggles and I frown at her. She just smiles

"What's weird about helping a friend. It's not weird, it shows you care about him." Now I'm crying, blushing, and smiling all at the same time god I'm a mess.

"I guess you're right. I just don't want to mess things up and lose him. He means too much to me." She smiles at me again.

"I know and I'm so glad my son has someone like you is his life who loves him unconditionally." My face goes bright red and she smirks. Her face turns back to a sincere smile.

"But I can promise you this. You won't loss him believe it or not you mean a lot to him. More than I think he even knows. He's not going to let something like that ruin your friendship." She smiles at me again and I hug her tight.

"Damn I'm really going to my crushes mom for relationship advice about her son." We both laugh and my tears stop falling. I wipe my face.

"Yes, now go to bed my little love bird and get some sleep it's late and I have work in the morning." I give her one last hug.

"Thank you."

"No, thank you and remember everything will work out, good night."

"Good night."

I go back to the bedroom and lay down. The talk with Satoru's mom really helped. Maybe I should tell him at least about the coma. What ever I will deal with it tomorrow. My thoughts begin to slip away. Satoru's quite breaths calm all my nerves. I feel myself begin to slip away to sleep. I will figure all of this out. Everything will be okay. For now I will just get to sleep and take everything as it comes one at a time. Slowly I fall asleep.

Satoru's mom POV

Those boys are hopeless. I smile and shake my head. Oh poor Kenya you think too much. And Satoru you need to stop denying your feelings. Oh these boys are gonna be the death of me. Whatever they better figure their shit out. I feel this gonna get real annoying.

They better figure this out soon or I'm gonna go crazy. I sigh well it's okay at least they're there for each-other.
