If you could name the star, Keith Anyan could say that he felt like he had seen it before. Of course, it was only a feeling as there was no way that Keith had ever gone to space before, but it was there. It was like some absolute truth, like some question that had an obvious answer. If someone asked Keith if that feeling wasn't something he just made up or was lying about, it would be like asking if humans need air in order to survive. And because he felt that he had seen all those stars in person and met them over a thousand times, Keith was tired and sick to death of them. It would be better to go watch paint dry than gaze up at a starlit sky.

Jomy was the exact opposite. He was never bored of those fiery gas balls that were probably already dead just like Keith's wish to look at them. It was if he was always searching for something amongst them, something he was dying to find.

That also contributed to Keith's hatred of the stars. He always had this nagging feeling at the back of his head that Jomy would go off into the galaxy, searching for that long lost (?) thing he was always scanning the night sky for. He was afraid Jomy would leave him for that desolate place and never come back, or worse, come back colder than that ever expanding darkness.

Keith had always been like this, having constant deja vu and whatnot. It was like this when he met Sam Houston, Suena Dalton, Seki Ray Shiroe, Jonah Makka, when he met Jomy Marcus Shin. He always felt like he had seen them somewhere before, heard their voices before, that he lost them once before. Maybe a long time ago, they were friends. Or enemies.

It was all strange and a bit scary honestly. But as he came to know them (again?), Keith felt like it was a good thing that they had been brought back together. When meeting Sam, Suena, Shiroe, and Makka, it was like he was cut off mid sentence long ago, and just now was able to finish his thoughts. When he met Jomy, it was like he had ran out of breath trying to catch up to him, but finally regained enough in order to start a conversation.

Keith wasn't done with that conversation. There was still so much more to say to Jomy, so much more he could find to talk about. If Jomy were to leave, Keith might relive the moment where Jomy left him the first time (which happened, Keith had this feeling too many times to honestly deny that it did). It would take more than one night to get over that.

So every time Keith had a birthday and he was told to blow out the candles to make a wish, every time he had thrown a coin into a wishing well, every time Jomy dragged him out to see the shooting stars, Keith wished with his entire heart that Jomy would never remember what he was looking for in that vast, empty sky.

If Jomy left, Keith would chase him down just to be with him again, even if they went into a black hole. He really hoped that wouldn't happen, because he knew what had happened last time he was sent after Jomy.

...Did he?
