Hey. [kiribaku]

remember

"Hey."

Red hair. Red eyes. He looked at me, with a grin.

I grumbled a reply.

I looked at his eyes.

Empty.

"Do you know what the homework was for tonight?" He rubbed his neck, like he usually does, and looked at the ground. "I uh, forgot to write it down again."

He looked up again.

The spark has left his eyes.

Nothing was there.

I don't know him anymore.

"You dumbass," I say, looking sideways. I can't handle looking at those lifeless eyes. "We didn't have any homework. Mr. Aizawa told us we were free for the weekend, remember?"

"Oh." He stuttered. His voice was dying. "Yeah," fake chuckle, "guess I forgot."

He has been forgetting a lot of things lately.

As if he doesn't remember himself any more.

As if he doesn't remember the point of life anymore.

I hope he remembers me.
