A yellow shirt with some cartoon design on it. A light blue cotton vest over it, unzipped with buttons and pins of all colors and shapes on it. Gray jeans with colorful buttons and stickers attached to it. One green checkered fingerless glove on the right hand, a white fishnet covered in kandi bracelets on the left hand. Different types of kandi necklaces with different colors and beads, about 4 of those necklaces. Green fuzzy earmuffs around the neck, covering most of the necklaces. Lots and lots of pins stuck into the hair. And a small 'Baron Bunny' keychain attached to the jeans.

That was what he was wearing today, nothing like the past outfits I've seen. I envy him, I always remind myself how much I aspire to be him. Listless, stylish, care-free, and filled to the brim with positivity.

And that person that I aspire to be is in my apartment, getting along with everybody. They all introduced themselves back at Time Square. This was all well enough to make me want to hide in my closet until he goes away.

"You really have some strange style, don't ya?" Tanaka elbowed Yamaguchi, as he was sitting next to him.

Yamaguchi smiled, "It's pretty common in New York to have such bizarre clothing and hair."

"And y'know Yamaguchi, you speak quite the Tohoku dialect." Yachi pointed out, immediately slapping her hand over her mouth and bowing a bunch of times, apologizing for her rudeness.

He chuckled, "I learned Japanese through my long time friend who recently just moved back to Japan. Though, he had a Tohoku-ben accent, so I picked up some of his habits."

They all made a long "Oh" sound. A few moments of silence before Daichi spoke up, "So you met Tsukishima on the subway, am I right?" Yamaguchi nodded his head "Yes" in response.

"We eventually kept bumping into each other, even on the streets, so I just decided to walk up to him and say hi. I could tell he was forcing his voice to sound like a gentleman." he giggled. My face turned red from the words that just came out of his mouth, how embarrassing.

He looked down at his phone, then he shut it off and placed it onto the coffee table, "I have a few friends waiting for me back at Central Park, they were gonna' go watch a few dogs and invited me, they said I could take anyone who wants to go. Doesn't matter how many people."

Everybody wanted to go, solely just to go and see puppies and dogs. I wanted to go because of him.

Time skip a few minutes and we've just arrived at the train station. While Hinata, Tanaka, and Noya were examining the board, confused with the map, Yamaguchi gestured them to just get onto the train, he'll handle the directions. As soon as we get on, we find empty seats, everybody taking their own, leaving my in a seat beside Yamaguchi. And of course, he flips himself upside down in the seat.

"Yamaguchi, don't you ever get dizzy when you sit upside down on a moving train?" Sugawara questioned.

He shook his head, "Absolutely not, it's way more fun to ride on a train like this. I also ride upside down like this on buses too. They don't mind though, I've been traveling around New York long enough to become an actual celebrity." he pointed to the screen above the seats.

There he was, the screen showed him in the outfit that I first met him in. He was in a sitting position, no chair holding him up. He had his legs crossed and seemed to be laying his elbow on an invisible arm rest, the other arm was resting on his lap. The words that were hovering beside him read, "New York's famous stray kid. He has been dwelling around New York for the past 10 years. You can usually spot him in the subway station or the subway, he has become New York's influential 'How your child will be if you don't take good care of them.' He admitted himself that he has no home and no job, yet he mysteriously manages to get such high brand and good quality clothes. He has become New York's new mystery."

He sighed in disappointment, "Though, I wish they'd make me sound like a good guy, not some guy who steals from others. Such a shame, it makes me feel like it's a bad thing to be New York's new mystery. And they say in the latest news that I'm encouraging teenagers to sneak out and rebel against their parents, such as smoking, I don't even smoke. What a shame I--"

"Would you like to stay in our apartment?" I blurted out, looking straight into his eyes. Everybody turned our way, and when I mean everybody, I mean everybody on our train cart. Silence filled the air.

"Eh?"
