I love you, why don't you believe me, bastard... important words, but unfortunately not important enough.
[Max's POV]
It was a sunny, cloudless day, nothing could go wrong for the me. I was talking a short walk when I seen my old pal, Takao. "Oi!" I called, weirdly excited. I loved Takao with all my heart, but Takao was into girls, eh? I'm just a homo. Takao waved at me, was he trying to smile, he had some grocery bags. I ran up to him and gave him a hug. "How's it goin', Maxie?' he asked with little to none enthusiasm. I winced slightly. Takao was usually more, more... happy than this. Something had to be wrong. Without me noticing he looked up at the beautiful sky and grimaced.
"Is there anything wrong, Takao-San?" I ask, sounding too concerned. He looked at me and forced a smile, were all his smiles perfect, even if he was forcing it? "You're my friend, right, Max?" he asked, looking at his shoes, Perfect coy act. I simply patted him on his head, his dark hair was soft. "Of course! You'd have to be stupid to think we're not friends after all we've been through. Takao-kun, you can be really silly sometimes," I said, grinning. Takao half-heartedly smiled and said, "Yes, I guess you are right, Max. Um, can you,um, walk me home..." Takao was staring at the ground, "and then maybe we can hangout, ya know?"
There I was, Max Mizuharu, too happy for words to express. I started a slight jog and grabbed Takaos' hand and pulled him along with me, I was in bliss. I hope it wasn't creepy how I out of nowhere just grabbed his hand but he kept up with me so I guess he wasn't weirded out. Everyone just thinks I'm this way, maybe it's best that they believe I'm just happy go lucky than a homo, or maybe just better for myself.
[Takao's POV]
After we got to my place and put away the groceries, we went into the backyard and just sat. We were sitting for awhile until it got kind of awkward. "Oi, Max.." I mumbled, quietly. It was nice, the sun was bathing us in it's glorious rays. Although, it was an ugly, sunny, cloudless sky. I hated these kind of days most of all. Everything got all dim when my mother passed away. but in spite of everything time still passed with me staring, watching everyone age. Walk away. I was left alone in my pitiful sorrowful wasteland.
"You okay, Takao-kun?"Max asks, with a slight scared look. I was frowning! I grinned a bit and showed a smile, "Everything is okay Max! Don't worry about me!" I chirped and we stared at the clouds for awhile before we went into the house.
"Well, want to hangout tomorrow, Takao-kun?" Max asked, hoping for Takao to say 'yes'. "Sure, Maxie! Anything you want, I'm really bored these days anyway. I need to spend some time with my friends," I said showing Max to the door. I sure do hope I'm not boring to him, I thought to myself. "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow, I'll call before I come. Want me to make us lunch?" Max asked. Max was melting my heart with his happy self, he was as happy as the sun shone. He was an angel of sorts, never showing his other self. Max was a good friend. "Hai, I'd like that Max-san." I said, cheering up.
"Alright, see you tomorrow!"
"Bye bye, Max."
