Akira wasn't sure why Ryu started coming around. When they had first met, they were watering their Lily of the valley flowers in their windowsill when a red-haired stranger's head peaked from the top of the window, nearly giving them a heart attack. He had profusely apologized to Akira and wiped up the water that they had spilled from the cup they use for watering their plants. They didn't think it was necessary, but Ryu was very insistent about it. After that unfortunate introduction, the boy quickly became a regular visitor, however odd the times he came got. Akira never minded though, as they couldn't do anything other than read and play on their phone in their free time. Their life was dull until Ryu had shown up. They were always glad for a new distraction from reality
