What Can I Do For You?

Red

"Weren't we talking about soulmates? Guess you're not the only one who will never be loved Kiibo! I won't ever be loved either"

His statement left me shocked, "please just end the call...I want to just go home...go to bed...and not wake up" Ouma admitted.

"Ouma...nothing I can say will probably make up for the loss you feel but...please believe me when I say you're the greatest friend I ever had! And I care about you and am not being your friend right now out of pity! It's because I care about you!" I assured him.

"You're the first person in my life who ever saw the true me...everyone in my life has either bullied me or left me behind because of my hands....I hated them so much I even lied about them and tried to hide them from you..." I admitted.

"But when I told you the truth you didn't laugh! You didn't make a rude remark! You just accepted me and I've never realized how much I wanted that till you did it! So if you're broken, I don't care! You're my friend...and I'm yours whether you like it or not" I promised.

"But you don't have to deal with my sh*t! You don't even know what kind of person I actually am Kiibo! H*ll I don't even want to show you my face because of how paranoid I am!" Ouma argued.

"I don't care! I know the person who made jokes and teased me over the weeks we knew each other! I know that wasn't a lie and that person is you! It might take a while and I'm ok with waiting for you to trust me, but please...don't leave me again Ouma...don't leave me in the dark...I want to help you...I want to be by your side...so please...." I pleaded.

Ouma didn't talk for a while.

"Great performance. Ten out of ten. Even I couldn't tell how much you probably lied" Ouma laughed in a joking matter.

"None of that was a lie" I told him. He continued to laugh, "that's exactly what he said....stop it....just stop it" Ouma begged.

"Don't you dare say you want to stay by my side...don't you dare become better friends with me...and don't you dare make me care about you more...I don't want to do this again" Ouma pleaded.

He doesn't want to feel the pain of losing someone again....

"I won't. I'm not going to go away Ouma, not if I can help it...we're both going to stay right where we are!" I promised.

"We're going to continue playing games and you're going to make fun of me and make jokes every second you can get and I will scold you...you're going to call Momota and idiot and cause him to get mad as me and Amami laugh....we're going to have fun...even if it doesn't happen exactly like that we're going to live...and we're going to have fun" I told him.

"Live huh?" He asked, "we're going to scream Hakuna Matata or something? What a wonderful phrase?" He asked his voice was cracking.

"Sure we can quote disney, we can have a marathon if you want!" I offered.

"Fine. I agree to your terms. I promise to make fun of you still" Ouma promised jokingly. He was still hurting, but at least he will let me in to help.

That's all I wanted.

"Hopefully less often but I would be lying if I didn't miss it" I admitted and Ouma laughed.

I'll never forget that laugh. It filled me up with joy just hearing it. I wish...we could've met earlier...before you fell in love with Saihara...

If I had a string...

My eyes widened as a red string appeared on my finger and carried across the sky and made me smack against my wall.

I just stared at this string through my window.

I have a soulmate...and it's Ouma....I...I can love.
