"Y/N!~"

I was greeted happily by a short boy bounding up to me, his black hair soaking wet from the winter rain. His usual white shirt and EKIN tracksuit bottoms were stuck his skin like glue. My little red umbrella was flung out of my hand as he jumped up to hug me, his short legs wrapped around my torso.

I chuckled happily, my hands sliding around his waist in a returning hug. "Noya! It's soaking!~~~" I groaned, burying my face into the crook of his neck. I felt his chest chuckle against mine before he jumped down, picking my umbrella and opening it over my head.

"I know, I know. But you've been gone for like, 3 light years."

I raised my eyebrows in shock. "Noya, I visited my grandparents in America for three days. Besides, light years is a form of distance, not time." I rolled my eyes as a ran a hand through his dark hair. "Cmon kiddo, let's get inside."

I led Noya into my small apartment. His parents still haven't stopped arguing, and the rumors of his mother getting custody had only grown more likely. He sprawled out over my sofa with a relaxed sigh. "I'll be down in a second." I said, jogging up the stairs to my bedroom.

Even though I was only mere hours from seeing Kōushi again, I couldn't help but take my phone out to text him. Before I had left for America we had started practicing like crazy, the silly threats from Yui had ceased.

Kōushi xx

09:27 pm: Practice, tomorrow morning, 9am.

Yes boss xx 09:28 pm

09:30 pm: Can't wait xx

I locked my phone and quickly got changed into pj's, throwing Kōushi's hoodie around me. It didn't matter how many times I wore it, it smelt the same every time.

I eventually bounced down the stairs yet again, happily pouncing on top of Noya with a giggle. He sighed, wrapping his arm around my shoulder as he paused his episode of Diaries of a Werewolf.

"We need to talk." He expressed quietly. I frowned with confusion. I sat up straight and pulled him up with me. His eyes brimmed with tears.

"I just got a text from Dad... It's mom, s-she..." He broke down, tears streaming from his usual brown eyes. "She died this morning. Drug overdose, actually." He barely managed to stutter out his words, clutching tightly onto my arm as he buried his head into my neck. I hugged him tightly, rubbing his back with my palm.

"Shhh, Noya-Boya... I'm so sorry... It's all gonna be okay, I promise." I whispered, rocking him slightly. "Listen baby, you can stay here as long as you want, okay?"

He sniffed and looked up. His eyes were... kind of bloodshot. His tears were dry. "A-Are you sure?" He whimpered. "I pulled him in again and nodded into the hug, sighing slightly. "Of course, Noya. I don't mind."

We spent the next few minutes cuddling and watching movies. I eventually fell asleep to the faint sounds of Mia Mamma 2.

The morning after, I found myself laying in my bed again. I reached over beside me, expecting to find Noya happily snoring. Instead, I found the sheets beside me to be cold and empty. I sat up with a start, frantically searching the room for Noya.

"Y/N?" I heard him call. I made my way down the stairs to find him standing by the stove, cooking pancakes. "Sorry, I didn't wanna wake you up. You fell asleep on the sofa last night so I carried you up." He chuckled. "You'd be surprise how light you are, lucky for my tiny legs." He joked. I smiled, walking over to the refrigerator, taking a glass of orange juice and sitting down at the table.

"Wait, what time is it?" I scrambled to my feet and ran to the hall to check the clock, nearly slipping on the kitchen tiles. The clock read 8:49am. I yelped in surprise, running into the kitchen yet again to gulp down the orange juice.

"I have to head out kiddo, I'm so sorry! Save me a pancake!~"

Noya suddenly held his arm out and grabbed my wrist with his hand. "Wait. Where are you going?" He pleaded, his grip tightening. "Wh- I'm going out." I tried to pull my arm away but his grip was too tight. "Noya- let go!" His eyes darkened slightly and he tried to pull me closer. "LET GO!" I shouted, finally managing pull away, my wrist now swollen and red.

"Shit- Y/N wait!" He called after me. I had already ran out of the apartment, only wearing my pajamas, joggers and Kōushi's hoodie. I was practically hyper -ventilating. I ran to the parking lot, collapsing beside my bike. I pulled out my phone, dialing the only person I felt like I could trust right now.

Pick up... pick up!

"Y/N? What's up?" Kōushi called down the line. I couldn't help but break down, broken sobs falling down the line. I tried explaining what had happened, but I was too shaken to talk.

"Shhh... It's okay.." He murmured. "I'm coming to pick you up, okay? Stay there." I followed his orders and lay my shoulders back against my bike. "Kōushi- I'm scared..." I whispered. "I'll be there any minute now, Y/N."

Any minute now.
