(this part doesn't really take place in the manga or anime, but some of it will. They won't be in order tho. And this will be a story where Shorter's actually alive, because I don't want him dead :3)
ASH POV
"IQ of 150 huh? Thought I was smarter than you" Eiji said. "Obviously I'm smarter than you, I'm still alive." I replied. "You're gonna jinx it so watch out-" "shut up asshole" we laughed.
Eiji is very optimistic, gives good advice and it positive. Never fails to surprise me. He's always so innocent and adorable. I get comfortable only when I'm with him.
"Hey lovebirds let's get this bread." Shorter said. "I just sat down." Shorter pulled us from our laziness and Eiji gave up. "Smartie, breakfast is ready!" Ibe said.
I hate being called smart, because it makes me sound ridiculous. If I wasn't that smart, I wouldn't be a leader of a gang, or be in a gang. I like being different. I prefer being a normie, than a sex toy. I'm being treated like a doll, and bring controlled. Maybe I'll escape with Eiji to go live in Japan with him, but I can't go anywhere.
EIJI POV
Here I see, Ash, looking emotionless, but I can recall there's something on his mind. For other people, it's hard to tell whether he's thinking about something or not. It's easy to tell, at least for me. I'm just glad he's here with us. Next to him, I feel him crying every single night. I can't explain it. Every single night he gets these nightmares or anxiety, his heavy breathing I can feel in my body, and his tight hug. He never deserves this. Especially him.
1:43 AM
Ash is crying again. Now, I won't try to pretend like I'm still sleepy. I barely touch him and he gets startled and gets anxious and gets away. I can tell he had a dream about Golzine. "It's me. I'm here. You can trust me." With my gentle voice, Ash hugs me tightly. "I don't want this to continue, I just want this to end, by maybe suicide or something, though I don't really have a time to do that. I can't control these emotions. They control me. Everything just controls me." "Ash, don't say that. I'll be here with you in spirit and physically. I'll be here forever." "Stay with me, it doesn't have to be forever, just for now." "Forever. Until we die Aslan."
