Koishi: what is this..
? ? ? : we meet again.
Koishi: you! Why can't I remember your face??
? ? ? : Is that really what you want to ask me?
Koishi: Are you gonna tell me your name now?
? ? ? : pfft if you want to know someone's name shouldn't you introduce yourself first?
Koishi: My name? Well that's a first. It's Koishi, what about you?
? ? ? : Koishi.. Nice name it suits you.

Liam: Koiii! Did you sleep in again??
Koishi: Liam...Damn you.
After Koishi finished getting ready, the two headed out. On the way to the park, Koishi questions why someone from a dream would ask for his name, but then again nothing about those dreams can be considered "normal". Before he could get lost in thought, Liam snapped him back to reality, reminding him they were there to get his mind off of the weird dream thing.

Liam: Have you ever considered selling your paintings?
You can earn a quick buck at the same time you'll gain more recognition for your work.
Koishi: It's difficult to part with my paintings, but I'll consider it.
Liam : You do seem very fond of your paintings.
Seeing the most recent post in Koishi's site, Liam wanted to ask about the man in the painting, but he was most certain the identity of the man was the person in the dreams, as to not remind Koishi of the guy Liam doesn't say a word.
As they sit quietly observing the dogs play with their owners, Koishi finds himself dozing off..

As he opened his eyes he was met with the alluring face of Mr. Mystery man.
? ? ? : I didn't expect to meet you again so soon.
Watching his every move felt hypnotising.
Koishi : beautiful...
? ? ? : why thank you. hahaha, oh yeah! By the way my name is Almos.
As he said his name the blank world transformed into the garden Koishi painted, like a monochrome world being filled with life. They were both seemingly astonished at the change in scenery.
Almos: what a beautiful garden.. If I knew we could change the scenery I would've done so a long time ago.
Koishi: this.. I painted this.
Almos: what do you mean?
Koishi: I'm an artist. This garden was the last thing I painted yesterday.
Almos: wow! You could paint??
Koishi: It's just my hobby, I've posted a few of my works online here and there.
Almos: interesting, tell me moree.
.

In their own little paradise they learned more and more about each other the more Koishi found out about Almos the more his interest grew, along with some hidden feelings.
Their conversation went on for hours, it was so easy to talk to each other almost as if they had known each other for a very long time. But like all the other times the dream abruptly came to an end, before they could even say goodbye.
_________________________________________
Koishi was in a daze it had felt like hours had passed when only a few minutes had gone by. The more time he spends in the dream world the more almos starts to feel like a real person.
Liam : Do you wanna grab a bite to eat?... Koi? Are you listening?
Koishi: What did you say?
Liam : so you weren't listening *sigh*
I asked if you wanted to eat something.
Koishi: I'm down if you're paying hahah.
Liam : You rascal!
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
On their way back home, Koishi retraced everything Almos had talked about, despite liam's warning he couldn't help but think about it .
Liam felt defeated even after their little outing, Koishi seemed distracted and clearly not free of worrying about everything, but he didn't want to pry too much, cause it might make the situation worse.
He would soon come. To regret that decision.
Koishi kept muttering the name Almos, to see if it reminded him of anything,
And the first thing he did when he got home was to search for the name, however nothing came up, not surprisingly so considering it came from a dream. There's no records of a person named almos. There were a few people with similar names but still nothing...
Koishi: Maybe he really is just someone from my dreams..
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Like a ritual, Koishi proceeded to write every detail of the dream, every word spoken, everything he felt, down to the way the leaves fell around then as they stayed seated under a tree.
He then went straight to the studio to paint, while looking around for inspiration, almos's words came to mind. He didn't have an explanation but it felt like an instinct, Almos said he likes blue flowers? So he painted it. He likes coffee? So Koishi painted a scene from a coffee shop, and like a spell his heart was beating faster and faster the more he thought of him.
Like a love sick middle schooler he laid on the floor dreaming of their meeting and before he knew it it had become night.
While checking his phone for the time
Liam sent him a reminder to eat..
He ordered some pizza, and called it a night.
'I can't wait to see him again.' He thought with a lovestruck smile on his face.
