Capricious

What people need to see is that it's all beautiful. All the ises and is nots are of equal beauty and grace and even everything in between everything from the cherry blossoms to the noose burns to the splash of red on the wall and oh, the red.

Capricious

Chapter 4: Komori Kiri

I may not understand him, but I love him and I trust him. But I do not understand many people so it is to be expected. Even the one I love is outsider. Everyone outsider. Everyone brave. I do not understand.

I like making food. He eats it and then some of me is some of him like some of him is some of me and I can take solace in that when I wrap the blanket around me and think affectionately of him. And think that maybe, just maybe, he thinks affectionately of me in his blanket.

He stays late one day. And there is that in his gait. Of that I know. Being that I am some of him. But not fully. So I don't really know.

"Sensei..."

"I've marked you present."

I laugh at that and invite him to the school closet. He stands there. And my smile diminishes the longer he stands there. Just being. Nothing else. So far away. His eyes are so far away. Like they're outside.

"Sensei..."

"I've marked you present."

I bristle and sigh. "I may not understand you, but I love you and I trust you."

A/N: I've just finished chapter 7, and after a dip in the word count in chapter 6, the chapters will be longer, just FYI. xD Feedback appreciated~!
