Horuda-

It felt kinda awkward considering my reputation has grown up to a little bit of an average by now and I'm hanging out with delinquents as my acquittances but their my heroes so I owe them pretty much! "I-is t-there anywhere I-I could sit?" I asked with confusion, it went awkwardly silent till Umeji answered with "I wouldn't mind if you sit on the grass next to me..." he said awkwardly smiling. I regretted going here, didn't I? "O-ok then..." I sit down on the grass and open my bento and just ignore them while eating, while looking scared. Umeji turned his over to me and said "We're not going to hurt you Horuda don't worry.", "I-I'm sorry" I said with a nervous look on my face, Umeji then got up from the bench and asked me "Would you feel more comfortable if we weren't all here?", "I-I guess..." I said in a very timid and shy voice.

He then told his gang to leave the two of us alone, which I wasn't expecting on what he meant by "all here", he then told me to sit on the bench with him, I got up and sat right beside him I felt less nervous a bit but I sat beside him feeling nervous I did it cuz I owe him for earlier my legs were trembling, he then put his hand on my shoulder and looked over to me and said "Take a deep breath it's ok. I look like I'm scary and mean but I'm only doing it to scare off bullies and anyone that might hurt me, but I won't hurt anyone like you cuz you are like us." I started to blush from what he had said, I pushed his hand off my shoulder and then shoved my food into my mouth out of embarrassment. I then felt this weird feeling in my stomach.

Umeji-

Am I really this scary looking to her? Does she really think I'm faking it? Is she ok? Now I do feel very bad for her, she must've went through so much worse trauma then I did, huh? I hugged her tight to prove that I'm actually not faking it "What are you doing?" she asked, "I'm showing you how nice I can be!" I replied back. For some reason I didn't want to let her go, I wanted to hug her forever! (Yes we have a love triangle here LOL)
