Well guys

_~          Kazuha POV          ~_
              -         ~•~         -

I was seated at a cafe, Tomo sitting across from me with an unbelievably warm grin spread across his smooth complexion. After reuniting at the park, we decided to go to a cafe to catch up. Cafes seem to be a frequenting thing in my life, huh?

To admit, it was a tad awkward. I mean, we've known each other for longer than I've known Heizou. It's just, the fact that we used to... date.. is a little embarrassing. Not in a bad way, but weird meeting up with your ex you were forced to break up with.

Still, he was one of my closest friends before we dated and he moved away. I guess it's just because we haven't seen each other in so long. "What have you been up to these days?" I asked, rubbing my fingers along the trim of my cup of coffee.

"Nothing much, the same as usual. I still play soccer." I could tell his voice was just as nervous as mine was, which brought relief to my palpating heart. "And get this," his gaze was intense, interlocked with mine. "I've moved here permanently, and I'm going to your high school!" His voice was shaky with excitement.

"Really?!" My voice raised in shock, my heart started to beat fast once more. I couldn't believe it, Tomo, my childhood friend turned boyfriend who ended up moving in middle school, was now back and here to stay?! After we lost touch, I thought we might never see each other again. Now I'll probably see him almost everyday! "There's so much we need to do! You need to meet my new friends and..." I continued to talk, my voice ringing with enthusiasm.

Well, my closest friends are now on the side of a rapist, and that rapist happens to be my ex best friend, who also happens to be my childhood best friend, which means that Tomo and him knew each other. Tomo is not going to want to hear that one of his friends is a rapist and that my new crush after we broke up is the victim. What a story.

I'm a little nervous, but I'll just warn him not to hang out with Heizou.

Later though, since we're having a good time right now. I don't want to spoil the mood.

"When are you starting?" I finally asked, stopping myself from rambling. I hope it's soon, the sooner he's at the school the more I get to see him.

He grinned. "Tomorrow." Already? He must've been moved here for a little bit before I met him again. "But now that that's out of the way, what have you been up to, Kazuha?" It was just like before, he didn't treat me any different since we've broken up.

"Same as you, nothing really. I have somebody new I'm perusing." I looked up at him, I'm sure I can talk about this, right? I mean, we were just a middle school couple, it wasn't that serious of a relationship. His face seemed to have darken for a moment, but maybe I saw wrong. He wouldn't still be hung up about us, would he?

He cleared his throat, almost as if adjusting himself. "Is it a girl this time?" He asked playfully, but when I shook my head he looked a little... relieved? Whatever. "So what's his name?" He questioned, putting his chin into the palm of his hand.

I considered if I shouldn't tell him yet, since the only person who currently knows is Kuni's sister. But I guess it should be fine since I can trust Tomo, he wouldn't do anything to hurt me. "Scaramouche." I answered, my voice a little weary. His eyes seem to relax a bit, not as wide anymore. "He's the same age as us, but he just moved here, like you." I added to my response, feeling the need to give him more information.

"Is he nice?" I felt like I was being interrogated by my mother. Well, if she was alive. But honestly, is Scaramouche nice? I mean, he's not mean to me, but I wouldn't say he's nice...

"You can say that..." I mean, I don't want to lie. "Well, he's nice to me at least. Majority of the time." Tomo let out an airy laugh, wiping his face with his hand as he chuckled.

"Do you have anyone you're interested in still?" I leaned forward, changing the subject from myself and onto to his life. He stared at me, his gaze intense before he grinned and shook it off.

He leaned onto his hand. "Nobody currently. I had a girlfriend before I moved back, but we ended up breaking up after a couple months. Not too devastated though, she was pretty manipulative."

I sighed. "That's the reason why I don't interact with any of the girls at my school. All they want from me is my looks. Every time I date one they always make me feel like crap." Well, that's half true. First half of the relationship is good, and I'm head over heels, but then after that it gets draining and we break up. Tomo's the only guy I've dated, so I don't really count him when questioning my sexuality because he kind of looks like a girl.

We kept talking for a while. Catching up on the events of each other's lives we missed. About an hour passed, when he suddenly got a call. He said it was his mother, and that she wanted him to come home for dinner. We said our goodbyes, and we made plans to meet up at the park we were at before tomorrow morning, so that I could help him walk to school.

Today felt like a fever dream. Never in a million years would I have thought that I'd meet my childhood best friend again on a random Monday at a park after not seeing him for years.

Oh, that's right. I need to tell him about Heizou. I guess I'll tell him on the way to school tomorrow, since he's already gone.
