Friends with Rain

"What do you mean friends?"

"You know, being each other's rock and support for hell. Opening up to each other, having slumber parties, playing lots more reversi, and more random conversations." He suddenly flushed uncharacteristically and said, "If you're frustrated about this, we can be more than if you want to."

She had that neutral, confused face."No, seriously, I just don't understand this 'friends' thing. No frustrations whatsoever."

It would take more than a boy's normal lazy effort to make a dense, naive, weird and admirably (and questionably) smart girl to be friends with him; but nobody said it wouldn't be worth it.
