It was a Satudarday morning when I tried to think. Sadly, I wished I were a dog in which mulling can never occur. Natsume was stressful. He could not handle me properly. He has so much going on inside his head that sometimes he could not bother looking up to me. Well, I do not blame him. I have things going on inside my head as well, but he was too complicated. Sometimes he becomes so approachable and sometimes not. He maintains this distance and it will become kinda idle for a day, but the usual will kinda return the day after. I believe those days were times where he try to give himself some space and to think.
Someone entered my room and I didn't have to look to know who the intruder/visitor is.
"Hey" he said. "Where's the laptop?", I said "Nowhere."
..
With a raised brow he said, "Okay? Goodbye" his brow was still raised but he was amused. But then he switched his gaze and saw a painting, my painting. "A new one huh? When are you going to submit this for an exhibit?"
"Natsume, you know I don't pass sketches or my arts to exhibits. They are for my sole joy and exuberance of inhaled stress."
"Huh, like that's a new one. So what's the cause of stress?" I gave him a minute of silence then I said, it's you. He was shocked and looked unconcerned all of the sudden. Must be because he thought that I could handle it on my own. Well.. Yes I could but I choose not to.
Aunt Kaoru was Natsume's mom, she has this silky beautiful jet black hair like Joan Jett (*haha Jett and jet black sounds alike) and a pair of piercing red eyes, like Natsume's. Aunt Kaoru came right on cue, before Natsume could even speak, and said "Breakfast's ready.", and then she gave us this knowing look as if she knows what we were talking about.
We were about to go down when Natsume gave me a scowl and dark look, and then that was the time that I realized that it was time to say that it was a joke.
This day was one of the unusual visiting days of Natsume and Aunt Kaoru. You see, Aunt Kaoru and my mom are friends. They were hs friends, mom once told me that aunt Kaoru was the one who helped her to have a delivery and then she also helped mom to get out of school and find a husband. Though it was a smug discovery that Natsume is my mom's bestfriend's son, for we had to be together most of the times and sometimes Aunt Kaoru leaves Natsume here in our place to stay for a couple of nights when she has to go somewhere.
You see our friendship is still developing.
I also met his friend Ruka Nogi when we were thirteen and Natsume and him were about to play basketball; somehow I managed myself to join their escapade by forcing myself into their friendship.
We are all sixteen now, and time has changed. We need to adjust to each individual's issue to conquer agitation. But this belief keeps me going: We love one another! :)
