"Hajime!" he yelled, wrapping his fingers around the bars. A wide smile was splitting his face and to his friends it looked like someone had slit his face. He seemed to have this sparkle in his eyes and it made Jyugo softly smile to himself as the other
two wondered what was going on with their younger friend.

Uno chuckled softly at the boy's happy expression. "What's up, Nico?" he inquired before the gorilla appeared.

The male's red eyes stared down at the green haired boy. "What do you want inmate?"

The short boy excitedly asked for the new anime that had just been released and too much to his disappointment, his request was denied. After the guard left, Nico sighed and stared at the floor. Jyugo knew his reason for the anime and knew why he wanted
it so badly. He smiled to himself again and went past him, escaping and going to Hajime.

Nico watched his friend leave, going to sit on his bed. He wanted that anime so badly. Anime and video games were his drive to keep leaving. Then again, his friends were the first and those came to a close second. Hajime could be mean, but Nico knew there
was something under his tough layer, but he didn't know exactly why Nico loved the things he did. Uno and Rock barely did as well. Only Jyugo knew it to the full extent.

It wasn't until a few minutes later did Jyugo return. He was grinning and nodded to Hajime. It was like they had some moment together because Hajime grinned at him as Jyugo ran a hand through his black hair, and he sat down on a mattress. "Inmate twenty-five,
expect the anime to be here in a few days to a week," said the guard before leaving.

Nico looked ready to explode as he continuously thanked him before he left. Jyugo smiled, watching the younger male. "Jyugo, what did you do?" asked Rock.

"Just promised not to escape for a few weeks," replied nonchalantly the black haired male.

They stared at him with surprise since they knew that Jyugo wasn't one to give up something like that. "Y-you what?" whispered Nico. He felt thankful for him but at the same time felt bad for taking something the other liked away from him.

Inmate fifteen only grinned and stood, ruffling the shorter male's hair. "Don't worry about it," he said. "I knew you'd like to have that anime. I just want you to be happy and I would give up the world

if it meant for all ofyou to be happy."

Uno threw an arm around the key's shoulders, laughing. "Well that was completely cheesy!"

Jyugo chuckled, rubbing his nape. "Yeah, I guess."

Nico hugged the heterochromia. "Thank you Jyugo!" He was glad to have met the other. He gave him a reason and it was the best reason. He was hoping to never take him for granted.

"No problem, Nico."

Rock glanced at Uno. "How long do you think he could go without escaping?"

"Give it a day."

"I can hear you two!"

"We know," they replied in unison.

Nico giggled slightly, watching his friend's bicker. He found it hilarious when they did, knowing that they never meant any ugly thing they said to each other. His reasons only kept expanding and he was glad that they did. He would be here if he didn't
have his reasons. The ex drug addict sat down, grabbing a manga and happily read through it. He just couldn't wait for the new anime. He was going to have to distract Jyugo since they all knew he wouldn't be able to go a day without trying to escape.

He felt arms wrap around him and he looked up to see all three of them hugging him. They joked and laughed with each other, looking exactly like an odd family. Joyfulness spread through the smaller boy and he couldn't have wished for anything better.
He listened to them speak and joke, adding his commentary every now and then, extremely engrossed with the pages in front of him. He could faintly catch Jyugo not participating much either which was normal, if it wasn't for the way he looked out the
window.

"Let's get something to eat," commented Rock.

"You guys head on, I'm going to stay and solve these puzzles. Also, if you guys meet up with Hajime tell him I need more puzzles."

Rock nodded and led them out. Nico not helping but glance back. Uno then distracted him with a comment and the three burst out into fits of laughter.

Rock was talking about food like normally as Uno put his two cents in every few minutes. He realized that they must've had their reasons for the things they loved as well and he wondered if they had told Jyugo about them like he did. He just wanted to
know Jyugo's reasons for everything he did but he could barely read the other male. Sure, the other prisoner spoke of some of his reasons but his main reason, what was it? Did Jyugo even have a huge reason? He didn't seem one to want anything, yet
do.

People have their reasons for everything and Nico knew that. He always knew his reasons for everythinghe did, but sometimes when he would forget them, all he had to do was look at his friends—hisfamily—and he would remember
them. His reasons to love anime and manga was because of Jyugo. He didn't know what would've happened if he never met him; he was grateful that he had. He didn't even want to think what would've happened if he didn't, especially since the greatest
escape artist was the one who gave him his reasons and without them, he didn't know what he would've done.

So how was it that? Bad? Good? Needed something more? Tell me in the comments and I'll do what I can to fix it.
