<HOSHI'S POV>
Looking at modern art always gave Hoshi peace. So there he was again at the gallery staring at a painting so intensely that the real world around him blurred away.
"Hey, it's already past the closing time again kid! Why do I have to remind you every other day ?". The security guard's voice brought him back to reality.
"Ohh ! I didn't notice ! I'm so sorry " Hoshi turned towards the guard only to find out he wasn't talking to him. A little embarrassed, he turned to look at the kid he was scolding. The kid wasn't a kid at all. His heart skipped a beat or two silently as he saw the other guy.
The guy wore a long beige coat with a plain white shirt and beige pants. A round silver frame covered his eyes, a beige beret hid his curly black hair and a white mask covered the rest of his face. His high waisted pants made him look shorter than how tall he actually was. And man he was tall. If anyone else was wearing that outfit he'd call them weird fashioned but this guy pulled it off so well, he looked like a piece of modern art himself. Hoshi quietly let out a gasp at his clothing and the aura he was emanating from it.
Meanwhile the guy walked towards the guard put his arm around his shoulder and turned him towards a still awestruck Hoshi ."Aah Ben !! Even I'm at a loss for words ! Kids these days are always spacing out and forgetting the time ! Come on kid run away !" For a second he again got lost in his deep voice only to understand the diversion of the conversation on him. His eyes popped out at the others witty way with words and he smirked, while Hoshi stared at him blankly.
"Don't try to play me again kid!!" The guard snapped back at him pushing his hand away." I want both of you out this instant!" He stared at him while pointing towards the exit with both of his hands!
The guy gave out a wicked laugh and walked towards the exit. Just as he was about to vanish he turned back "I'll be back soon, Ben!!" he winked at the guard and walked away and Hoshi got a glimpse of his handsome face. A face he wouldn't forget !
What a weird guy, Hoshi thought as he tried to calm down his heart and walked towards the exit.
