/Shino's pov\
As I got onto the roof of the building, I saw umbra sitting on the edge
I went over to him "is it alright if I sit here?" I asked
He looked over at me "sure whatever"
"Was just asking since you wanted distance last time" I say as I sit down
He sighs "what do you want now?"
"Just talking" I say
"Again? You sure you're not lonely?" He asked
"No no, I have friends" I say
"Starting to not believe it but sure" said Umbra
"What we can't just talk? Hang out?" I asked
"It's just weird you want to" He says "after the fighting, the yelling and shit"
"Erm yeah...uh- fresh start?" I say trying to come up with a lie
"Whatever" he says
"Doesn't seem to bother you" I say
"..." He looks up a bit at the stars
"You know you ask me all the time if I have friends, but do you?" I asked
"Yeah" I say "we just went out like yesterday, but there isn't much to do, just the same odd stuff"
"Are you guys only able to hang out at night?" I asked
"No? We can in the afternoons and stuff" he says "no one really knows what we look like"
"I mean the two I saw you robbing the store with, I couldn't see their faces but on the news they were masks, you don't" I say
"I don't need one" he says
"Then people know what you look like" I say
He gives a laugh "listen don't worry about it"
I gave a small smile, though not like it matter since he couldn't see my face
"So what now?" Umbra asked
"Uh- anything cool happen recently?" I asked
"Just a run in with some vigilantes, you?" He asked
'a lor more talkative this time' "not really" I say
"Ah, uh- how is school?" He asked
"Boring? I guess just the same old same old" I say "what about you?"
"What di you mean?" He asked
"How is school for you?" I asked
He just kinda stared at me before looking down at his lap "I've never been to a school"
"Oh..." I say
"I guess what's the word for it..." He says "right homeschooled, I guess fits"
"I see" I say "so how did you make friends?"
He bopped my mask "that I won't say, not going to tell the enemy everything"
"Enemy?" I asked
"You make it seem like we are friends or was always when you had only talked once bfore this without a fighg" He says
"Right, right" I say
"Still find it odd that you don't want to after everything" He says
"Can't fight everyone or forever?" I say grabbing at straws
"Think what you think" he says
"What hate everyone?" I asked
He just looked at me like I was stupid
"Dumb question?" I asked
"Yes" he says then gets up. I do the same
"I need to get home, I'm not allowed to be out for long, mostly since I have things to do tomorrow" I say
"We should hang out more" I say
"You know whwre to find me" He says
"Like not sneaky" I say then grabs a paper from my pocket and a pen
"What are you doing?" He asked
"Hold on" I say "We shouldn't hace to rely on hoping to see eachother
"I don't hope to see you, you just find me like the stalker you are" he says
"Not a stalker" I say and hold out the paper slip
He grabs it and looks at it "what is this?"
"My number, we should meet up soon" I say 'please say yes'
"Uh huh, we will see" he says
'thag works' "alrighty then" I say
"I'll text you soon, maybe" says Umbra as he goes to the edge of the roof abd jumps off
"Wait! I didn't even tell you my name...." i sighed 'whatever, I can tell him the next time we hang out, not like he fully needs it'
'I'll be able to recognize him when I see him next, so I can tell him then'
I shrugged my shoulders then made my way off of the room 'seems like the plan is working, getting close for info, and that's it, that's all'
