I laid there in bed pondering over what was just said. Inside my mind... Toshiro had stayed with me all day until Margaret came home. We talked all day about the craziest things. And that's all we did. Talk. It was wonderful.
Toshiro came everyday after that. Constantly training me for the day when I would fight the freeze on my mind. Alice came too. Toshiro would hide in my closet since he was always in his gigai. Alice would check my vitals every other day whenever she got the chance. One day, there was a knock at the door. Alice had already texted, letting me know she couldn't make it today. Without a word Toshiro leaped into my closet of doom, as I scrambled out of bed to get the door.
When I opened the door orange spiky hair greeted me at the door. Nobu Hayashi. Orange spiky hair with white hair underneath, his signature grey jacket with the signature skull, and his laid back appearance that just seems to shatter when he's around me. He stood there, hands in his pockets looking down at me because just everybody else, he's taller than me.
"Hi Kairi, I haven't seen you at school lately, so I thought I'd drop by. So how've you been?" His voice shaked just the tiniest bit. He tried to play it off with a couple fake coughs.
"Sick. With what I don't exactly know, but I'm still homebound for a couple more days and then I'm going out of town for a while." Lies. All lies. I could feel a knot in my stomach start to grow. When he asked me how long I would be away, I didn't have to lie for once. "I'm not sure. It all just depends."
"On what?"I could see the disappointment and confusion in his eyes. There was something else there, that I couldn't decipher.
"On how quickly I recover." I simply stated.
"Oh." He looked down. Sadness invaded his gentle face. Nobu is the boy, with the most fangirls at school. I can't walk into a class without overhearing conversations about him. That's all I ever hear from the girls at school. So many of them have gotten courage to ask him out, but the weird thing is, is that he always turns them down. It's like he's waiting for someone. Someone in particular. But who? "Kairi?" I quickly responded, coming back to reality. "Kairi, do you think we can go out somewhere? Just you and me? Before you leave for who knows how long?" I just stared at him. Just stared at him. I couldn't believe the words that just came out of his mouth.
"Like... A date?" the words slowly poured out of my mouth. He didn't say anything for a while. He stared down at the ground. A thick layer of silence filled the air. "Nobu-"
"Yes. Kairi Koraka, will you go on a date with me?"
