~*Miyuki*~
“Still remember the last time you had too much sugar? You got sick to your stomach and threw up.” He commented. I didn’t say anything. “Also I have something to tell you…” I licked my fingers.
“Ummmmm…….ok. let’s, go to, your room.” I said.
“Never mind, it’s nothing.”
“Oh….come on.” I pulled his hand. And we went to his room.
“It’s something that your parents should tell you, not your best friend.”
“Kuori?” I asked, a bit confused.
“All I can tell you is that your parents didn’t give you up because they hated you.”
“You, you know why?” I blinked.
“I’m not saying anything else.”
“W-What? I, don’t understand…” I said truthfully.
“Ask your parents. That’s the best thing to do.” I didn’t know what to think.
“You know and you’re not telling me? I get that mom and dad should tell me, but you know now how much it’s been eating away at me, when did you find out? How?” I asked.
“When you were getting your stuff packed at the house I asked if they knew your real parents and explained how you felt like they just left you.”
“Ok.” I waited for more.
“Your real parents loved you Miyuki.”
“I-I hope so.”
“Your parents that you have now were your parents best friends if I remember what your Dad said.”
“Well, I guess that’s kind of comforting.” I sat down on his bed.
“Sit down with your parents and ask them.”
“W-what if they think I’m not thankful for them, or if they think that I don’t think they’re good enough? It scares me…” I admitted.
“Miyuki your parents were killed when you were a baby and they’ve been afraid to tell you because they don’t want you to hate them for not telling you, there I said it.” I was shocked. I wasn’t prepared for it. I burst into tears and he hugged me quickly and tried to comfort me.
“I, could never hate them…” I was able to get out.
“Calm down and breathe.”
“K-Kuori…” I held him tighter.
“You’ll be alright.” My tears slowed down and I wasn’t gasping for air anymore, and I relaxed a bit. “Just promise me you’ll talk to your parents tomorrow when you go home.” He asked.
“I promise.” I said as a few more tears slid down my cheeks.
“Good, now let’s cheer up, what do you want to do?”
“I-I want more frosting.”
“No.”
“Ok.” I closed my eyes. I didn’t want to argue.
“Do you want to study the lines for, whatever they’re called, I’m having a brain fart right now.”
“If you want Romeo.” I smiled a little.
“Auditions! I got it.”
“Yeah, that’s it.” I shook my head.
“Did you pack your book?”
“Um, no.”
“That’s alright, we’ll share mine.”
“Ok.” I let him out of my grip. He went and grabbed the book.
“So do you want to start at the beginning?”
“No, go to the famous balcony scene.”
“Alright.” He flipped thought the book. I thought about the kiss scene and I felt my face get warm. Kuori would get my first kiss if nothing happened between now and then. “This is a long frickin scene.”
“S-So pick a place to start then.” I said.
“Um…”
“Yea?” I asked. He tossed the book across the room and pulled me into another hug.
“You’re still sad. I’m sorry.” I hugged him back
“Thank you Kuori. I’ll be fine. You said so, so I know it’s true.”
“I don’t like it when you’re sad.” He said. I turned my head and rested it against his chest.
“You’re helping now. I’m not as bad as I was.”
“Really?”
“Well yeah. I like your hugs. They make me feel better.”
“You’re welcome.” He said. I smiled a little.
“No one on earth has a better best friend than me. I don’t tell you that often enough.”
“You don’t have to you know.”
“Yeah I do. You need to hear it.” I defended.
“No I don’t.”
“Why?
“Because just having you happy is enough.” He’s too sweet. Speaking of sweet…
“If that’s true, give me more frosting.” I whispered.
“Fine, go ahead.” He sighed.
“Hehehe carry me.” I laughed a little.
“You can be very demanding sometimes.”
“No, never me.” I smiled.
“Good.”
“Good?” I questioned.
“I didn’t want to carry you really.”
“But, I don’t want to let you go.” I said slowly.
“Mi you’re acting like a little kid.”
“ S-Sorry.” I quickly let him go and stepped back. I felt bad so I looked away from him.
“It’s fine just you know how I really don’t like being hung onto so much.” I nodded, and then went out to the kitchen and dove into the frosting again.
“Don’t eat too much…” He came out I turned and I could feel frosting on my upper lip. He started laughing. I blushed and continued to eat. I figured I should quit so I didn’t end up sick, because then he would be all like, ‘I told you so!’ and I would get embarrassed and make a complete ass of myself.
“That was amazing.” I said.
“Ok, you sure you’re done?”
“Yes. Yes I am.”
“Ok.”
“Come on!” I pulled him back to his room and grabbed the remote to his TV. I flipped it onto a random show and looked at the clock. There was a few minutes before our shows came on so We just goofed around with one of his bouncy balls he had lying around. As soon as our show’s theme came on our eyes were glued to the screen. And when they were over, I was really tired. “Kuori, I’m tired.” I said.
“Ok, go to sleep then. Good night.” He got up and I pulled him back down and stood up in his place.
“This is your room, I’ll take the guest bedroom.” I said.
“Whatever you want to do I guess.” He said.
“Ok, night.”
“Yep.” I walked out and turned a ways down the hall and walked into the room. His mom had laid out spare sheets and I crawled into the clean bed and flipped the light off. I was asleep in a few minutes.
