(Niji) No Matter What Pt. 2

This song has always reminded me of Niji. I have no idea what it is about it, but I can perfectly see him singing it with YN.

Days had passed since I had seen the blue-haired boy that had saved me from a terrible fate. He wasn't even in the family news. It was like he had completely disappeared from every piece of news and image that had ever been posted or published. I couldn't even find his face or name mentioned once in the daily newspaper.

I began to worry about what had happened to him, knowing what his family had done to the last son with emotions.

I wandered through the streets, my mind filled with thoughts of terrible things people might have done to poor Niji, until I ended up accidentally running into someone. "Oh goodness, I'm sorry." I said, looking up at the tall figure. There was a familiar look in his eyes, and a blue hair peeking out of his hat. "Vinsmoke Niji?" I asked, surprised but quiet. "Oh crap, thank goodness it's you." He said, helping me up. "Why haven't you been with your family? You aren't even in the news!" I said, concerned for him. "Uhm, yeah... about that... I can't face my family after showing I had emotions." He said, a little flustered. "Are you sure about that? I'm sure your family will understand the situation." I said, thinking. Niji gave me a sarcastic look. "Oh yeah. It's the Vinsmokes..." I said, sighing. "No insult to your family, though." I said, trying not to insult Niji. "Oh don't worry, you can brutally insult them for all I care. The only good people in my family are my mother and my pirate brother." He said, sitting down, wedging his back into the wall behind him. "Well, I'm sure you have some shred of dignity in you. You're over here admitting your family is terrible, and I truly respect you for that." I said, smiling at him. "No, I'm not a good person, YN. I've always tried to act like my family does, ruthlessly, angrily, so I can fit in with them." He said, a sad look on his face.

I thought for a moment. "You know what, Niji, you should come to my house. If you really can't face your family, I'll teach you how to act like a real human being." I said, smiling at the blue boy. "You'd... do that... for me?" He asked, a smile wide spreading across his face. "I owe you a favor anyways, for you saving me from your cactus head of a brother." I said, smirking at him. "Cactus head? I've never heard two words that describe Yonji better than that." He said, smiling a little.

"By the way, do you want to get some food before we head over? I wouldn't expect you to have eaten recently." I said, helping Niji off the ground. "I'd love that! Thank you Miss YN." He said, smiling. "No need for formalities, you're a prince and you don't see me calling you 'Sir Niji'." I said, smirking. "Please don't refer to me as a prince, it makes me extremely uncomfortable." He said, a little nervous. "No problem, Niji. Don't worry about it, I get what you're talking about." I said, smiling. "You're funny." He said, smiling. "Thanks... I guess." I said, leading Niji out of the alleyway and towards the direction of my favorite restaurant.
