Morning Aoba-san (Clear x Aoba)

Part 3

Memory 2

Being led through the winding shops and alleyways by Aoba, Clear looked up at the almost nearing moon. Being careful not to mention it, because he was having fun being with Aoba, he simply grinned when he was grabbed by the arm and dragged around. It felt like a special moment to him, so enjoying his time with Aoba was necessary.

"There's some Allmate parts over there," Clear pointed with his free hand at a shop window. "Ren has been a little weird lately, and I'm in need of some tools I guess..." Aoba's face deep in thought was sort of cute. Grinning, Clear just nodded. Clear wasn't as silly as he used to be. He noted how Aoba would one day be gone, and playing around wouldn't make him younger.

"After this we should head home, what do you say?" Aoba turned around to face Clear. His heart almost melted.

"I have a better idea," Clear grabbed Aoba's hand tightly and pulled him along in the opposite direction of the house. Of course since Aoba is Aoba, he argued along the way, but eventually gave up and followed.

"Our palms are getting sweaty you know," Aoba complained for the hundredth time. Ignoring what he was saying, Clear eventually led him where trash began gathering around them. It piled and piled until they walked onto brightening grass. Lush green began to surround them and they began walking up a hill.

When the bushes moved out of the way a wondrous sight was revealed in front of Aoba and Clear. Clear had been here with his grandfather once of course, but Aoba was special to him. The face Aoba made was a mix of surprise and wonder. This made Clear smile a little.

There was the ocean, edge of the island. The indigo color lay still reflecting the color of silky sky. "I wanna stay by this tree for the night," Clear's voice interrupted whatever thoughts Aoba had. The grand oak beside them hung leaves over their heads with a safe feeling around them. Nodding, Aoba sat with Clear on its dirt covered roots. When in a comfortable position, leaning on Clear's shoulder, Aoba dozed off.

Aoba woke to a blinding light flashing over his eyes. He was being shaken awake and after a few moments he heard a familiar voice.

"Good morning Aoba-san."
