Mine, Now And Forever

Separation

 "Are you sure about this?"  asked New.

 Nate nodded

 "Why? Am I making you uncomfortable? Is the house not big enough? Can I renovate it if you want?"  New bargain.

 Nate shook his head "It's not like that. We just want to live independently. We can't forever depend on you. It's not good for me. Especially for Beam. He has to study independently. He is too dependent on Forth"

 New looked at Nate sharply.  He wasn't sure about Beam depending on Forth  Or it's , Forth who depends on Beam.  New is sure Forth won't even graduate from middle school if Beam isn't there to help him study.

 "Think carefully" New told Nate.

 Nate smiled "This is the best choice," he answered.

 New sighed.  He did not know how to behave.  When he forbade Forth from meeting Beam outside school hours for a month, Forth did not want to talk to him for two months.  And thinking Beam had to separate from Forth, New felt his head hurt.  How he would explain it to Forth.

 ****

 "We will move out. Before you enter high school," his father said at dinner.  Beam looked closely at his father

 "Ok," he answered casually.

 His father looked at him confused "Ok?"

 Beam looked at his father confused "Um ... ok" he answered again.  His parents looked at each other.

 "Listen Beam, you might not be able to meet with Forth every day"

 Beam looked at his parents and smiled "No problem. I will meet him at school," he said.

 Both parents looked back at each other.  Sometimes they don't understand Beam.  They think Beam will oppose their wishes.  However, Forth has always been with Beam since they were young.  When Forth decided not to stay in the beam room anymore, they saw how Beam was so shaken.  Seeing Beam who looks relaxed hearing they will move home, both parents are even worried.

 But they said nothing more.  They were glad Beam did not protest their decision.

 *****

 Beam stared at Forth's window.  Move.  He won't be able to see Forth again whenever he wants or when he feels lonely.  He will have plenty of free time for himself.  Sounds like fun.  Yup  FUN.

 "What are you doing?"

 Beam was surprised when suddenly Forth appeared from behind his back.  Beam holds his left chest.

 "Ai Forth" he protested while hitting Forth's shoulder

 Forth laughed "You look serious" he said.  

 "Do you miss me?"  he asked as he walked closer to Beam.  Beam looked away and walked backwards.  Forth looked Beam sharply.  I don't know since when the Beam is getting higher.  Beam is almost as tall as he is now.  And he is increasingly handsome.  Increasingly looks mature.  Forth felt his heart beat violently.

 Beam looked at Forth who was blushing.  He kicked his leg forth "What do you think  it is stupid?"  said Beam.

 Forth looked away "I just thought you became more handsome" he answered honestly.

 Beam felt his cheeks heat up hearing Forth's honest answer.  He covered his face with one hand "It's already-it's late" he said as he walked away from Forth.  But Forth held her hand.
