Thank you, Nishikata

deja vu

The bell has rung, teasing total today: 0

for some reason i can't tease him even once. the dream still haunting me until now, what if its real? what if we get hit by a truck again? 

Nishikata tried to talk to me in the class but i never answered him. good thing about that he doesn't have to clean the class so we can go home earlier

Takagi: let's go Nishikata

Nishikata: yes

I can see his face, a worried face. sorry Nishikata

we walk home together without saying anything for 6 minute 9 second until

Nishikata: are you okay Takagi-san?

Takagi: (ignores)

Nishikata: earth to Takagi?

Takagi: (snaps out into reality) what is it Nishikata?

Nishikata: are you okay? you.. haven't tease me even once

Takagi: hmm? do you want me to tease you?

Nishikata: what! no.. it just.. it feels different

Takagi: i am okay my best friend thanks for caring about me

Nishikata: I SAID STOP SAYING THAT

Takagi: (laugh) ok ok

Nishikata: well.. if you want you can tease me but only ONCE

Takagi: heh? why

Nishikata: you seem down

Takagi: i see.. thanks darling

Nishikata: WHAT WHY WHO

Takagi: haha Nishikata, you said i can tease you once

Nishikata: BUT.. BUT..

Takagi: no but, and now buy me a juice

Nishikata: wh-why?

Takagi: nothing, i am thirsty

Nishikata: i see.. okay.

Nishikata handed me my favourite juice can

Takagi: Thank you darling

Nishikata: my god stop being zero two please

Nishikata: enough.. please

Takagi: alright, let's run. i have to do go somewhere tonight with my parents

Nishikata: huh? okay

we both run to the local arcade

we stopped at a traffic light but why does this seems familiar..

Red light has turned into green light, as i about to cross i can hear truck's horn beeping at me

BEEP

 (truck, crossing road, we gothit) came to my mind, i am too scared to move but then

Nishikata pulled me and no one was hurt

Nishikata: takagi! are you alright?

Takagi: i.. the truck.. we gothit..

Nishikata: no! no one got hit. are you okay?

Takagi: no one? (thank god, that was just a dream) wait.. did you just said my name without honorific?

Nishikata: wait its not like what you are thinking

Takagi: i like it

Nishikata: i..

Takagi: you are red again. let's go before the light turns red again

Nishikata: ok

Thank you Nishikata..
