Our Beloved Family (Book 2)

Part 19: Plans for the future?

Memory POV:

After Menma went home and my sister did too, me and Mitsuki took this opportunity to talk a little because we never do.

''So, you knew what happened between me and Menma?'' I ask.

He nods.

He doesn't look angry or sad at all.

''I'm sorry, Mitsuki, it wasn't my intention to-''

''No no you don't need to apologize. I understand why.'' He says and smiles at me.

I lean against the fence as Mitsuki does the same.

''Why aren't you...mad at me or saying that I should go to hell?'' I ask.

He chuckles.

''First, the word 'hell' is a bad word, Kami wouldn't like it, and 2, because you are my friend after all.'' He says.

I stare at him, confused.

''Normally...people would hate their friend for doing what I did...why don't you?'' I ask.

He sighs and looks up at the sky full of stars.

''I have never had friends before. I have never really experienced love or any sort of...bonds.'' He says.

Then he smiles.

''But when I met you and Menma, I felt this feeling I have never felt before, at least not as intense.'' He says and looks at me.

''Happiness?'' I ask.

He nods.

I chuckle.

''You are really something else, snake boy!'' I say and nudge his shoulder, making him laugh.

''So, when I saw you and Menma, I just assumed it was normal because, well, I didn't really understand if a kiss meant friendship or love or something else...'' He says and looks back at the sky.

''Well, do you want me to explain it for you?'' I ask.

He looks at me and nods.

''Well, a kiss can mean all sorts of things...'' I start and look up at the sky.

''It can mean that you really care about that person and that you love them with all your heart and soul, that you desire for them.'' I say.

Then I look to him.

''But a kiss can also mean that you are there for them, there does exists something called a 'comfort kiss' where you can kiss someone to show them that they are not alone or-or they can make up for the past mistakes they've done.'' I explain.

''So, what you and Menma had was a 'comfort kiss'?'' Mitsuki asks.

I nod.

''It was mostly to make me feel better. I-I was feeling like crap at that time and I was so stupid and didn't think about what I was doing.'' I say.

Mitsuki smiles.

''I believe you and I'm not angry with you nor am I angry with Menma. I didn't react at all when I saw you.'' 

At that, my face went red because of the embarrassment.

''Yo-you s-saw us?'' I stuttered out.

He chuckled.

''Yeah, I did.'' He says.

''Woah, I...uhm...I am sorry, so sorry...'' I say.

He laughs.

''It's okay! I already said I was cool with it, right?'' He says.

I smile, relieved.

''Thank you, Mitsuki, for being a good friend.'' I say and squeeze onto his shoulder with my hand.

He smiles.

After some minutes which felt like hours of silence, I broke it.

''So, any plans for the future?'' I ask, looking at him.

He seems to think about it, then he smiles.

''I do have plans for the future which I find very exciting.'' He says.

''And what's that?'' I ask.

He looks down at the ground and then up at the sky again.

''I am planning on proposing to Menma the moment we are old enough.'' Mitsuki says.

My eyes widened then softened as I feel my lips form into a huge smile.

''I don't even have to say 'good luck' because I already know Menma's answer.'' I say.

Mitsuki looks at me.

''What?'' He asks.

I laugh a little.

''Nah, I'll keep quiet.'' I say.

The rest were filled with silence.

We could hear the birds making the final noises before going to sleep, and the wind blowing to the trees, making them dance.

I smiled.

''What about you?'' Mitsuki asked.

I turned to him.

''I plan on becoming as strong as my parents. I wanna become a medical ninja like my father and build a family with the person I love.'' I say.

He smiles.

''You'll find a lover soon, Memory, I'm sure of it.'' He says.

I breath out a chuckle.

''Yeah, I do hope I do.'' I say and look up at the sky.

Then my little sister came running again.

''Atena! What are you doing out here?'' I asked and walked up to her.

''S-Sorry, Memory Onechan, but father and mother wants you home to eat dinner.'' She says.

I smile.

''Okay.'' I say and then I turn to Mitsuki.

''I'll see you another time, Mitsuki!'' I yell as I run with my sister home.
