The silence of the clinic waiting room drowned Wally and Kuki as they waited. Not quite patiently. They had coupled a few chairs together and were laying down side by side, Kuki's head resting on Wally's chest. They were meant to be together. Friends forever. And probably more.
"Sanban, Kuki."
Said the receptionist, suspicion clearly in her scratchy voice.
Kuki wondered why as she got to her Converse-sneakered feet and walked to the desk.
"Are your parents with you?"
"No...why?"
"I'm sorry, doll face. You must have a parent or legal guardian with you in order to have an abortion...come back with one, alright?"
"But...my parents don't know."
The receptionist's face fell. "Oh, honey."
In time Wally joined Kuki at the desk.
"What's takin' so long?" he asked impatiently.
"Umh...nothing. I don't want to do it anymore."
"What? Kooks...are ya sure?"
He asked surprisedly. "Ya got your whole life ahead of ya."
The ebony haired girl looked down at the cold tile floor.
"Yes."
Not really a surprise. Kuki had always been kind and loving towards all creatures of life. For her to take away the life of something that she had made...it would make no sense for her.
"It'll...it'll be ours. I'll take care of both of ya. We'll be our own little family."
Wally said, forcing a smile.
"Oh, Wally...really?"
Kuki asked, those rare-colored eyes flickering.
"Yeah...it's what I want."
The teenage blonde boy answered.
Although he wasn't quite sure that was true. Maybe in time he would find out.
