afijasfkj you guys... I'm so tired...
Sorry for not adding the new chapters sooner. *hasbeenincrediblybusy*
Here's chapter 2. Chapter 3 hopefully will be up soon. Chapter 4 is not done yet..
Nezumi jumped, shocked by the sudden burst of the door and shout from the boy he hadn't seen in years.
He looked away from the shelf and turned towards the smaller. Sion's hair was a little bit longer... He'd kept it about the same length, it just barely hit his shoulders.
The prominent scar from the parasitic bee all those years ago was still there, his hair was still as white and fine as snow.
He was still shorter than Nezumi, but definitely taller from back then. Nezumi felt his heart pounding in his chest.
"...Sion..." He said softly.
Nezumi hadn't thought he would run into him here, though deep down he had hoped he would.
Sion was tearing up, Nezumi noticed. He figured the boy would start bawling and grab him, but Sion just blinked them away, holding his ground.
"Nezumi..."
Sion just stared at him, making Nezumi straighten up.
"what are you...doing here?" Sion asked.
opened his mouth, about to say a sarcastic remark, but stopped himself.
"I left one of my favorite books here... I figured I'd come back and get it."
"Which one?"Sion asked, though he already knew.
He quickly slid the book he'd been reading to the children behind his back as Nezumi answered,
"Hamlet."
Sion looked away to the bookshelves.
"I have it... But it's at home."
"Why did you take it?" Nezumi asked, though not angrily.
He wasn't surprised that Sion would take a book with him.
'Because it reminded me of you'
"Because I really liked it... I'm sorry...I can run home and get it."
Nezumi nodded slightly.
"Can you?"
he looked down a bit.
"Will you come with me to get it...? That way I wont have to run back here in the dark."
Nezumi smiled slightly, knowing the boy wouldn't see it.
"Fine. I guess I have to. You'd get mugged if you came back here in the dark by yourself."
He said with that same smug attitude from four years ago. Sion looked up and nodded slightly, turning towards the door. He took a step and stopped.
"Nezumi..."
"What is it?"
Sion turned back to him, tears pouring down his cheeks.
He still looked so innocent and fragile. Nezumi still wanted to protect him from the world; wanted to pull him close like he had four years ago and stop him from crying.
Sion pulled him out of his thoughts when he started talking again.
"Is it alright... If I do exactly what you expected?"
Nezumi sighed softly and started walking to pass him. He patted the smaller's head gently.
"Only if you stop soon..." he said and continued walking, Sion holding onto his sleeve the entire way to what was No. 6.
There we go. Chapter 2~
