I own nothing.


Song 14: River


"I'm not sure about this."

"Honestly Neku, you're the one who mentioned that you couldn't ice skate. Eri and Shiki are determined to drag all of us out there and you said you wanted to learn before you go."

Neku stared at Joshua who was standing in front of him on the slippery ice of the Shibuya River. Joshua held his hands out, beckoning Neku to take his first step onto the ice. Neku, of course, was hesitant.

"Is this even safe?" Neku asked, eyeing the frozen ice from the bridge he was standing on.

Joshua smirked. "Don't worry, Neku I'll catch you if you fall."

Neku stared at Joshua, not believe his words. Joshua's smirk dropped to a smaller smile. Gently teasing, he coaxed Neku onto the ice. "C'mon Neku. You trust me don't you?"

Neku stared at him for a moment, before reaching for Joshua's hand.

"Yeah… I do."
