Skinny (on hold)

Closer

Tw: Slight mention of eating disorder, slight schizophrenia
~It has been about a week and a half from the last chapter~
Genya POV:
'Hmmm' I wonder to myself. There is a carnival coming to town, and I bought two tickets for Tanjiro was supposed to come with me, but he canceled last minute. There is no way I'm letting this ticket go to waste, it was $50!! While I was thinking, I thought popped into my head.. what if I bring Muichiro?! We a roommates, but we don't really talk to each other. Sometimes I speak to him, but he usually stays silent, and quietly nods. "Hey Mui" I call from the side of the room. I hear a soft grumble, which means he is most likely sleeping. I walk over, with the intention of waking him up, but I stand there admiring him. 'He's kinda cute' I silently think to myself, as I go to shake him awake. "Muichiro... Time to wake up" I chirp. "No. It's Saturday." He says, clearly grumpy. "But I have a questionnnn" I whine. "Then what is it?" He asks, in the bluntest tone known to man kind. " Wanna go to the carnival tomorrow?" "Sorry I can't" he interrupted. I got angry, "Why? Too busy being lazy? Too busy sleeping?" I sneered, extremely annoyed.

Muichiro POV:
I look at him, while I was turning red from embarrassment. "No..." I muttered, "I have no money." He looks at me guilty. "Oh it's ok! I already bought the ticket!" He exclaimed, trying to forget how he just snapped at me. "Oh I'm that case I'll go" I whispered.

~the next day~

"Muichiro!!" I hear "Muichiro time to wake up!" I get up, half awake. "Ya" I respond. "Remember we are going to the carnival?" He questions. "Huh? Oh yeah." I say. I got ready then we got in the elevator. "Which car are we taking?" He asks. I feel embarrassed once again. "I don't have a lisence" I mumble. "Huh? Why? How do you even go anywhere?" "I use public transport, and..." I trail off thinking whether or not I should tell him about the schizophrenic aspect of it. I decided against it. "because of medical reasons." I finish.

Genya POV:
"What medical reasons" I ask. He shrunk a bit in his sweatshirt, so that gave me the hint to back off. !Ding! The elevator beeped. He exited and went in the car. He sat in the passenger seat, while I drove. I tried to start conversation, but he never answered. I look over at him and his eyes were closed tightly, and was holding to the side of the car. 'Damn, am I that bad of a driver' I thought. Once we arrived we exited out of the car. We went in and the first thing I wanted to do was eat! I asked what Muichiro wanted, and he smiled slightly and said "Oh I'm okay! I'm not very hungry!" If I think about it, this whole week I've only seen him eat once, but it was barely any. I was probably just overthinking it though. We then decided to go on a ride. I picked a rollercoaster and he seemed genuinely excited. We were on it and I saw something I never saw before (A boner!- jkjk) him smiling. Sure I saw his fake ones before, but this time it actually seemed cheerful, and genuine. After that ride I said "You should smile more, it suits you!" He see him turn bright red

Muichiro POV:
"Th- thank you.." I stutter, clearly flustered. As I was walking I see people starting to stare at us. I grabbed his sleeve, which caught him off guard, and I started to walk faster. Then a lady's head started turning clockwise, which was horrifying. I started to sprint. I ran and ran and ran, with Genya still in my grip.

Genya POV:
I have no idea what is happening. Muichiro was running, muttering things to himself. I think he was having another episode of some sort. I calmly escort him to the back of the carnival and tried to calm him down. "Breathe in... Breathe out.." I comforted him. He started hyperventilating, then just plain out crying. I decided to just hug him. He almost immediately melted into the hug, hugging back. Once I calmed him down I asked him explain what happened to me, and boy it was gruesome.

Muichiro POV:
It felt.... Good. I never had a friend to talk about this stuff with. I just always suffered in silence. Sure, I'm sure he thinks I'm weird and doesn't wanna talk to me again, but at least I talked about it with him. "Let's go on another ride.." I muttered. "Okay sure!" He responded cheerfully. God he is cute. 'Cute?' I thought to myself.. 'No he can't be cute, I'm a boy... boys can't love boys... right?' I was zoned out until Genya yelled my name. "Geez Mui! I was trying to get your attention for 5 minutes straight!" "O-oh sorry" I apologized. "It's okay don't worry about it!" He said as he grabbed my hand and went towards the other rollercoaster. I really had a great time. As I said before I never had a friend I could do this stuff with. It was fun and refreshing. We had to go after about 2 hours of being there because of a storm rolling in. While we were on our way back home, the car ride was even worse. I closed my eyes, trying not to look at the road. Ever since my parents died I have been terrified of cars, public transportation, all of that. I usually just walk places, or ride my bike. We eventually got back home and I decided to go read a book I needed to catch up on from ELA, because I slept through it. It started thundering very loud. I hate the sound of thunder. It scares me so much. Then all of the sudden all of the lights went out. "Genya?" I yelled out panicking. I hate this so much. Genya then turned on his phone light, and asked, "Why didn't you turn on your flashlight in your phone?" I gritted my teeth. Why does he keep on having to ask questions like this? "I don't have any money.." I said once again. "Oh, sorry..." he said. We went out separate ways until the courtyard infront of our dorm gotnstruck my lightening. No one got hurt, but it was unbelievably loud. I couldn't take it anymore. I walked straight over to Genya. And sat on his bed. I wanted to ask if we could sleep next to eachother, but then I remembered we are barely friends, and that was stupid. I got back up and went to my bed.

Genya POV:
Hmm that was weird. Muichiro literally just walked over, sat on my bed, then walked away. He looked like he wanted to say something, but never did. "Are you ok Muichiro?" I ask him, making sure he is alright. "I'm fine" he responded glumly. 'Maybe he is scared of thunder, and wanted comfort?' I thought to myself. But he didn't have any interest in anything right now, and when I turned to face him he was sleeping, so I just carried in and eventually went to sleep.
Sorry for the delay in this chapter, I had no ideas how to write it. I have many ideas, but I don't want this story to go too fast yk? Anyway thanks for reading, I didn't reread anything, so if anything is wrong, just comment it.
