Visiting Shouyo

Chapter 3: I Wonder

Time passed. Each day seemingly shorter than the last. Kenma anxiously awaited the day he had been looking forward to for weeks.

His mind was pacing back and forth over and over. "I'll bet that the Miyagi Prefecture is really nice. I bet Shoyo's house is really nice. I'll bet Shoyo's school is pretty nice. I bet Shoyo's lips are n-" Kenma stopped in his tracks, he lightly slapped his cheeks. "No. We're just friends." He reminded himself. He hated saying it, it always brought him down. Not to mention his worries of differentiation. He wasn't even sure if it was real love or if it was just cause he was cute. "Does that count as lust?" Kenma wondered. He wasn't even sure if...well... he was into guys... He paused as his phone rang with a familiar tone. "Shoyo!" Kenma exclaimed slightly excited.

Hey, Shoyo.

Hi Kenma! How are you?

I'm fine, you?

I'm really excited for your team to come to our school! it'll be sooooo cool! I can show you my favorite places! And You can come over to my house and meet my little sister! She's been really looking forward to meeting you!! She's kinda intense, and I'm 99% sure as soon as you walk into the door she'll tackle you with hugs, she's been working on some big art project for you, but she won't let me see it, she always gets mad at me when i walk into her room when she's working on it... hmph. But still!!! Oh and did i tell you about the video game store on the street corner? It's a little run-down, but they sell games for cheap and I'm sure that they'll have stuff that you like!

Kenma giggled as he listened to Hinata's ecstatic voice rambling on and on.

Are you excited too Kenma?

Oh, um, yeah. I'm really eager to see you again, and you're sister sounds sweet. Heh.

Yeah- oops! Gotta go down for dinner. I seriously can't wait to see you Kenma, I'll text you later! Bye!

Bye, Shoyo.

Kenma put down his phone and burst into a soft laughter. "Ahhh, he's such an idiot..." The slim boy sat up on his bed and crossed his legs, his face pink with delight. His giggling calmed and he returned to his normal composed self.

Kenma layed on his stomach and closed his eyes, letting his mind wander. "I wonder what he's like when he's upset... or sad... I wonder what it'd be like... to see him cry..." Kenma pondered. He felt like an awful person for wanting to see Hinata cry. He sighed as he brushed a stray strand of hair out of his face.

He tried to distract himself with his PSP but he couldn't help still wondering, what Hinata would look like with a red face and puffy eyes with tears welling forth from them. Kenma had done his fair share of crying before. Crying from confusion, crying from disappointment, crying from pure heartbreak, and good ol' solid pain. However, he never dared shed a tear in public. Even as a child, scrapes and cuts never really hurt until he was alone, then, and only then, would he cry. Crying in public is embarrassing too, considering the fact that kenma was infact one you would call, an "ugly crier".

I wonder if you think of me this way
too....
