Bad Day ❣

I don't know if it's just me thinking this but Ukai has been off for a little while. He smokes more than usual, drinks more than usual, doesn't come over to my house as often. I decided to talk to him about it since Ukai was meeting me at my house. I didn't want to be pushy, but I was worried. A knock startled me. I looked at my phone and saw a message from him [I'm outside] I got off my bed and put on my sandals. Heading to the door I opened it.

"Hey Tsu." He leaned in and kissed me.

"Hey Keishin." I moved aside letting him enter the house. His hair was messy, knotted and he smelled of smoke.

"So what do you want to do?" He asked. I wanted to ask but I hesitated. He walked over to me kissing my forehead.

"Heyy stop," I said grinning. He kept kissing my forehead like a thousand times.

"Kenshin, stop-" He hugged me tightly. I hugged him back, caressing his back gently.

"You okay?"

"No." His body started shaking.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Yeah. But later." He responded. Even though I was curious about what was bothering him, I respected his wishes. We stayed hugging each other. Hearing the echoes of silence he let go.

"I'm okay now. What do you want to do?"

"Brush your hair. Go sit in front of the couch." I said walking to the bathroom and grabbing a brush from the sink cabinet. I approached him while he sat on the floor while I took a seat on the couch. I took off his headband brushing through the knots.

"Sorry, for not brushing my hair. I should be able to take care of myself." He mumbled.

"That's why you have me," I said with a big smile. He chuckled. We stayed in silence for a little until Keishin opened his mouth.

"I've been thinking too much. Of the future. Like what's going to happen to us or everyone else that surrounds me. And I try not to but it's always in the back of my mind. Like I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. For all, I know everything can go wrong tomorrow. Tomorrow you might leave, tomorrow everything can change. I just want the world to stop for a second. I've been trying to cope with this but I just resort to smoking and drinking and wasting money when I could be spending it on things I need. I don't want to burden you with my problems, but you've been noticing and I don't want you to feel like crap because of me. I just don't want to lose you because of my stupidity." I finished brushing his hair and putting the brush on the couch.

"It's okay to be stressed out about the future or anything in general. Trying to figure out your future just wastes time. Don't think about your future, do things that will lead up to your future. Like focusing on the good stuff in your life, in the future, it will help you to cope with adversities." I said. Keishin stood up and sat on the couch laying his head on my lap.

"Are you ever stressed out?"

"A lot. Mainly because of insecurities. I dislike the way I smile or talk, how my hands are small, how short I am. The way I laugh. Little stuff like that but you're here. You reassure me that the way I smile is adorable, my voice is soothing, how being short is good because I can fake my age unlike you. Which makes me laugh. When you say you love my small hands because you like comparing them to yours and that makes me happy. You love every little thing I dislike about myself."

"Why do you dislike your small hands? They're cute." He said grabbing my hand and playing with my fingers. I started giggling.

"I love you. So much."

"I love you too." Keishin closed his eyes holding my hand. The whole house was silent, I could only hear Keishins tiny snores and crickets. I slowly got up from the couch trying not to wake Keishin, but it was fine since he is a deep sleeper. I grabbed a blanket from my bedroom putting it on him. I kissed his forehead. I grabbed the remote putting on a show to watch. I sat back down on the couch, playing with Keishins hair. Some time passed. I noticed Keishin scooted over the back of the couch.

"Lay here with me." He said. I crawled over to that spot and he put the blanket on me. He put his arm around my waist. I heard Keishin fall back to sleep by his small snoozes. I watched tv while he slept. I wasn't worried anymore just a little tired. Slowly drifting off. I fell asleep.
