“Anything weird about him?”
“No..? Not that I know of, why?” I scanned my night-skinned friend, she was always so bubbly, cheerful and loud. It was so different to see her so terrified and quiet. “Hey..Nico..it’s okay,” I reassured her, poor thing, she looked like she was about to faint.
”No, it’s not! I really need to know if I’m the only person he does this to!!” She slammed her palms on her mouth as soon as the last syllable was uttered. “S-sorry Dark..” I gave her a nod of sympathy, it’s not her fault if she’s loud. “It’s fine, I usually spend my days with Laito now anyways, but I’ll be happy to help you.”
She smiled solemnly at me, cupping two frail hands around my ear and whispering; “He does this thing where he ignores me and treats me like garbage and then suddenly he’ll treat me like a queen.” Wait. That sounds familiar.. “I...I think he does that to me too Nico.” I’ll admit, that’s one of the reasons why I don’t hang around him anymore, it’s like he doesn’t want me near.
“Oh. Really?” Disbelief. That was written all over her face in huge letters. I nodded, “It’s strange,” she went on, “Dont tell anyone this but he actually cried because of you.” Wait what?! Why?!?! I gaped at her like a fish out of water. I didn’t do anything to him!!
Sheepishly, she rubbed the back of her shaded neck, “Yeah..he said it was because you were ignoring him or something.” Her expression morphed into one that seemed scared again, “But please don’t tell anyone! This happened last year! Nothing to worry about!! I was just…surprised that he does that to you too, he seems to really care about you.”
Hah! I scoffed, the sarcastic huff forcing its way out of my mouth. “He used to, but nowadays it’s just like that. Nothing to be worried about I suppose, if he bothers you or does anything harmful to you come tell me, I’ll sort him out.” I tell her. An indirect promise.
Oh yeah, she said there was something else didn’t she? “Nico.” Her distraught, mossy eyes met my curious, coral coloured ones, “About KS. Why did you mention him all of a sudden? What does he have to do with any of this?” I queried, watching every single muscle in her body turn into a rubber band–pulling taut– ,going statue on me. It couldn’t have been that bad could it? “I think that Kanato might’ve done something to him..” she shook, her voice dropping into a vibrating whisper.
”What do you mean?” I responded, what could Kanato ever do to KS? I felt that KS always has more strength, but anyways, back on topic. I sent her a questioning look, “Y-you see..they–Kanato and KS– had a f-fight one day af-afterschool. It got really v-violent and Kanato shoved h-hard KS on the g-ground screaming that he would ‘KILL HIM’ and ‘YOU SHOULD JUST DIE.’ I-I’ve never seen them argue so b-badly. Then…the week af–ter…KS stopped coming to sch-school.” By the time she finished the last sentence, she paled significantly and her hands trembled with cold sweat.
Oh.
Oh.
I kept my gaze focused on her, having a feeling I knew where this conversation was going. “And did you know what they were arguing about?” A trustworthy, oath floated through her eyes as she shook her head violently; tears welling in those swampy irises.
I nodded to her and she bid her goodbyes, quickly scurrying off. I need some time to process what I just heard. Light might wanna hear this, cause doubt that Nico was over-reacting this time. I sigh heavily, heading back to my boyfriend, thinking focusedly;
A fight and a disappearance.
How intriguing.
(A/N: Ok I’m gonna go force Aoki to write the other half now. Can’t guarantee anything yet though!! 😈)
