You sat on the fire escape while the party you were attending went on inside. Your good friend Yuji was sitting out there with you, just talking and watching the city life slow as the hours got later. You two had been closer than friends should be, especially since you have a boyfriend waiting for you at home. Not a good one, you knew that, and maybe that's why you liked spending time with Yuji so much. But Yuji couldn't take it anymore, he needed you to know that he could be better for you, but he was too kind to home wreck a relationship. He wouldn't even talk badly about your boyfriend, he just wanted to take his place and show you what you were missing. But for now, he would settle for friendship, if that's what you wanted.
