"akio?" noki stutters, slightly backing away as his anxiety hits him harder.
"im sorry but do i know you?" noki feels his face burn with a strong sensation. he feels his eyes water. a river about flow down his face. his eyes get slightly darker giving a more grey look to them.
"are you okay?" akio stares at the slightly shorter figure. "im sorry but the last person named noki i know died after a guy hit him three years ago."
"that was me!" noki yells through his tears. akio stands there in slight shock.
"there's no way you could be noki, he's dead-"
"ill prove it!" noki stares at akio.
"and how exactly are you going to do that? how do i know you're not just some random person who's speaking crazy talk?"
shit. that's the only thing going through noki's head. he doesn't know what could do. shit. shit. shit.
"take me to school with you." he blurts out. akio ponders for a moment before giving a simple nod.
"fine ill take you." noki's eyes brighten as he wipes away the incoming tears in his eyes.
"first we're going to have to figure out how to get you in the system." the two boys think for a few moments then noki speaks.
"i could go by another name and another look as well." "you know, that might actually work. my sister is good at cosmetology." akio says suggesting his sister without her knowledge.
"but we don't have much time, maybe a day" "that should work."
the two of them walk in silence back to akio's house, the rain pouring down on them slowly going down their hair in tiny droplets. they make it back to the house and quickly go inside where the warmth hits them hard. they rush to akio's room to change out of their soaking clothes. tossing the wet clothes into a basket and changing into a hoodie and some gym shorts, noki faces away from akio. he didnt want to make it weird. akio was his best friend. or was he something more?
