By tumblr demand I have decided to post this story here on because reasons. Anyway teh first three parts are written but I'm only posting part one for now because I want to see how well it takes here first. second off I would like to put a few warnings in place as well.

This isn't some fluffy kirkoma fanfic, its got a fair bit of angst and a few trigger warnings, such as self harm and depression. It will get deep in later chapters, which is the reason I've been hesitant on writing part 4. Aside from self harm there's mentions of character death and suicide. If you're okay with that then by all means proceed, but don't say I didn't give fair warning.

one other thing, this is shounen ai/yaoi so if you dont like that, please, don't read and don't flame. Pairing is Kirkoma (Sanae/Josh) with mentioned of Neku/Josh.

Now I'm only gonna state this once, I obviously do not in anyway own TWEWY, but I do take credit for this story idea.

A shiver ran down Joshua's spine as the cool mountain breeze blew over him, billowing his hair softly over his shoulder. A light smile graced his lips, ignoring the chill and instead turning his gaze in the direction the wind was blowing. The sight of a mist covered forest a midst the mountain range below him greeted his eyes. It was still early morning and the few rays of sun that managed to break through the mist made it a truly awe inspiring sight.

The smile grew and he subconsciously tugged on the sleeves of his thin sweater. Even though it was spring the mountains were still pretty cold this early in the morning, but luckily for him the roads were quiet so he could enjoy the scenery in peace. Letting out s happy sigh he started walking again, pushing his hair out of his face against the wind in the process.

It went by like that few an hour or so before a few stray cars started driving by the road, none of them really noticing the lone boy walking with his arms stretched out at the edge of the road, where concrete met rock and the ledge dipped into a steep slope.

One step, two, then another, misstep - a small yelp followed by a laugh after regaining his balance, adjusting the strap of his shoulder bag before stretching his arms back out around him. He was content like this, happy, not like before he started out. His violet eyes turned skywards, letting his mind go blank as he walked.

He didn't notice the old truck drive by.

He didn't notice when it stopped, only to reverse back to where he was walking.

he didn't notice when the window wound down, the truck moving forward once again to match Joshua's pace.

"Hey kid!"

Joshua snapped out of his daze at the voice, he stopped walking for just a moment, arms returning to his side as he looked at the intruder of his peace.

"Need a lift?"

Joshua didn't respond, just stared intently at the stranger in the truck. Stubble? Didn't he shave? The sun's not even that bright right now, why was he wearing sunglasses? Well at least his hair looked clean. The truck on the other hand….

"something the matter…?" Joshua held back a laugh, realizing and not caring that his staring had probably made him a little uncomfortable. Instead he just shrugged and shook his head in response. Turning forward he started walking again, hoping the stranger would carry on his own way as well.

Except he didn't. The truck followed at a slow pace next to him, the man keeping an eye on both the mountain road and him. Joshua sighed. Looks like he wouldn't be getting his peace back anytime soon. might have to indulge this man for the time being.

"Yes…?" He asked turning to the truck, expression clearly showing his annoyance. Unfortunately that just got annoyed anyway.

"So where ya headed?" The man asked.

"Well that depends," Joshua stated as he continued to walk, smirk grazing his lips, "Where are you going?"

"Ha!" The stranger barked, a crooked smile of his own crossing his face. It suited him Joshua couldn't help thinking. The man continued "Very funny kid. Seriously, what's your destination? I'll give you a ride."

Well that doesn't sound creepy at all.

"I don't have one." Joshua answered. When he didn't get a response Joshua turned his gaze from the mountain road back to the truck. A confused look was on the drivers face and Joshua couldn't help but giggle at his expression.

"To have a destination is to know what will happen," Joshua explained, reaching up to brush a stray lock of hair out of his face, "It's predictable. Boring. That's why I don't decide where I'm going, I just go. It's more exciting that way."

The stranger let out another bout of laughter, stopping his truck and letting his arm hang over the side of the window, other hand still loosely holding on to the steering wheel.

"You know something, I like the way you think," He stated, then pointed with his thumb to the passenger seat of his truck, "Okay then! How about we go to no where together?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Joshua's face at the suggestion and for a moment he just stared at the man in the truck. Logic was telling him that he should just continue on his way, forget about this random meeting but the other half of him, the part that started him on this random journey was saying why not?

Take the risk! Besides behind the scruffy appearance Joshua could tell there was more to this guy than meets the eye.

Did he understand?

Finally Joshua smiled, giggled, and tilted his head to the side.

"Okay." He heard the automatic unlock of the doors and Joshua ran around the back of the truck to the passenger side, opening the door and pulling himself into the old seat. It was relatively clean, and the odor of cigarettes assaulted his nose but he didn't mind.

Joshua pushed the sleeves of his sweeter up to his elbows and chucked his bag into the space behind the front seats, noticing but not caring that the man had done the same. speaking of…?

"Name's Sanae," He finally introduced turning to Joshua with that earlier crooked smile, "Sanae Hanekoma. You?" Joshua returned the smile before answering.

"Joshua."

"Well then Joshua, where too?"

Joshua laughed and leaned back in the seat, resting his legs on the dashboard and giving Sanae a side glance.

"Where ever the road takes us." Was his reply.

There ya have it, part 2 will be posted next week. R&R please~
