"Kaito?"
"Hmm?"
"You okay?"
He didn't answer right away, but turned his eyes toward me and the look in them made me close my book. I sunk under the covers of our bed and turned over on my side so I could see his face better. He had been crying again.
"You still thinking about it?" by way of answer he buried his face in the pillow.
"I thought she'd understand," came his muffled voice, "We've been friends all our lives, I thought she of all people would understand."
I sighed and scooted closer to him till I could see his hair move when I breathed, "Not everyone does Kai."
Gently pushing his side I was able to roll him onto his back, "Do you regret this?" He sniffed gently and shook his head. I kissed his eyes and licked away the tears, "Then that's all that really matters in the end. I know it hurts right now, but I promise you it will get better and I will be right here for you."
Kaito sniffed again and wrapped his arms around me, "Promise?"
"Promise."
