Friendship. It was never much Bankotsu cared for or thought about. He had just been happy with his own soul for company. Until he met him. Jakotsu. Jakotsu would seem annoying, casually flirting or talking, as if there was no other care in the world. And sometimes it would seem there wasn't any other world, only the small but tranquil world of friendship.
Friendship. There was the word again. But Bankotsu couldn't think of another word to describe it. When Jakotsu went away, Bankotsu found himself longing for his familiar, smiling face. Watching his own shadow as the long hours passed, longing for another to join it. Constantly scanning the horizon, waiting for his… his…friend to appear.
And when Jakotsu did return, he seemed to see. "Lonely much, oo-aniki?" he would ask. When Bankotsu would ask a simple question, just "How?" Jakotsu would smile; tap his friend on the nose, and answer, "Your eyes. You know what they say, 'The eyes are the window to the soul'. And you know what your soul says now? That you are my friend."
