"I see it all the time on T.V."

"You actually watch those cheesy television dramas?" Kuronoya laughs.

"What? Shut up," Tohru turns his head away. His ears turned an obvious red.

"He's embarrassed," Tsugino teases.

"Ugh, I'm outta here. Fucking weirdos," Tohru grabs his bag and immediately storms off. Now that's something you don't see every day.

"We're going to leave now as well," Kaeru who is together with Yoshi and Kouji inform.

"Alright, take care then!" I bid them goodbye. Eventually, everyone else eventually left as well leaving me behind.

As I was changing my shoes the words that Tohru said got stuck in my head for some reason. Steal my best friend? There's no way someone would do that. It's impossible.

I'm probably just over thinking, but I don't think Raihen is the type of person who'd do that. He's freakishly friendly, also he's too honest about his carnal desires. But I just realized, does it have something to do with Hide? He is actually really clingy for someone we just met.

I sighed and took a deep breath. I'm probably just tired, I kind of like Raihen, I think he's a good guy. I don't want to think ill of someone else. I packed up my stuff and shut the locker rooms, I went to get my bike in the parking lot and soon ride home. I arrive to see Hide cooking something dinner.

"What's cookin'?" I asked.

"Chicken curry," Hide replied while stirring the pot.

"Smells good," I took off my bag and my shoes and went towards the kitchen with Hide. He dips a spoon into the pot and scoops a small portion of it and offers it to me.

"Try it," Hide told. My face flushed red a little because it feels like we're a couple. Regardless, I blew the spoon a little to lessen the heat and gladly accepted.

"It's just right, perfect as usual," I complimented.

"I almost thought I overdid it. Thanks. You should probably take a quick shower and get changed before anything else,"

"Alright, then we play video games."

"It's been a while, but sure. After dinner," Hide agreed. We have no homework today so the rest of our evening will just be leisure time, it's nice to just relax sometimes. Every once in a while Hide and I agree to play games together because that's what best friends do.

"How's Raihen?" I asked.

"He actually lives close by, I told him how you and I met and how we live together. He even asked if he could pay us a visit sometimes, I didn't really care if he did or not," He replied.

"He sure is one big goofball," I said. I went ahead to fetch a towel and stepped into the bathroom. I stripped my clothes and turned on the shower to take a shower.

Now that I thought of it, I tried to remember the time Hide and I first met. I recall seeing each other at an empty playground and he was sitting alone at a swing. Or I think it was that time we tried to solve a jigsaw puzzle together during grade school, but that wasn't how we actually met though. How could I possibly forget? My parents used to drop me often at Hide's. We were introduced to each other and we eventually became playmates, we got along easily quite well. Our parents were very close to each other and Hide wasn't allowed to go out. I used to nag my parents to take me to see him all the time. I wonder if Hide remembers.

I turned off the faucet after taking a shower and dried myself with a towel. I quickly get changed and head towards the kitchen to help Hide set the table. As I helped him set the food, I took a close look at my best friend's face. We shared a lot together, it's hard to believe it's been years. We've been. Through a lot together. And I feel like there's so much I want to talk about but I wouldn't know where to start that I just don't. We used to have lots of fun together, and I still try to find my own moments with him.

It makes me wonder since when did Hide develop a strong sense of logic. To be honest, I can't really tell if it's a good thing or a bad thing. But I know Hide very well, he always knows what's best for himself. Thinking about something like this makes it seem so depressing for some reason. It makes me sad for no reason, and when there's no reason it's usually pointless to talk about. Or at least that's what Hide would say, but he still always listens to other peoples opinions regardless.

I know the real Hide. Only I can understand him the most, then again, as his best friend. I'm not even sure if I can call myself that, do I really understand him? Is Hide who I think he is?

"Hide," I told.

"What is it?" He asked.

"Am I really your best friend?" I asked. He looks at me slightly confused.

"What are you talking about? Of course, you are," Hide replied.

"Oh, I see, sorry about that."

'I remember the day, I made a promise to you. It was a very long long time ago and I know you don't remember it anymore.' Was what I wanted to say.

Hide and I begin to chow down our meal. We were face to face across the table. It's moments like these that I take for granted sometimes. Ever since we started living together I can't help but notice every inch and detail. I know his eating habits, the way he moves, the way he talks, the way he looks when he gets flustered, the way he smiles or gets angry.

Until today I've learned to become very observant. I also know the face he makes when he sleeps and how he snores quietly. I notice more of his features like how he actually has long lashes and how I can remember the details of his skinny body type despite having a major sweet tooth. I could probably tell who he is blindfolded. There's also the innocent face he makes when he is too focused on something. Knowing a side of him that only I can know is a privilege. I kind of get a little mad at myself because this isn't really me, I barely immerse myself into deep thoughts like this.

"Uhh... Why are you looking at me like that?" Hide blatantly asked.

"I just remember how you used to look like," I replied. "We've really grown to adults," I added.

"You're not usually like this."

"I know!!! Oh god, I'm so sorry!" I immediately apologized.

"Tell me what's on your mind?" Hide asked. Fudge, it's the hot seat.

"Well. I don't know Hide. I feel like we've grown so much that we've also grown from the things we loved to do together."

"What is it that you want to do?" Hide asked once again. These chain questions are killing me.

"I don't know. Today just seems so different. I started thinking about a lot of things."

"And what things are those exactly?" Hide crosses his arms. I groaned in frustration. Ugh. When it comes to Hide, everything always has to be specific, he does not like vague things at all.

"Just... Don't ask," I've given up. My face collapses on to the table with my arms stretched out. Hide just sighs in dismay.

"Need a hug?" He asked.

"Yes please," I replied in a tired manner.

"There, there," He ruffles my hair and leaned in for a small hug as my face stayed on the table. When things are all for naught this is what he does to cheer me up, because he knows me well like that. These thoughts are driving me nuts. 'Idiot' I wanted to utter but only did in my head.

You don't know a lot of things.
Because you're just that special to me Hide.
