His wounds were still fresh and far from completely healed, the memories in his mind still new and replayed every other day. Though Ekko found himself surrounded by many new friends, friends that made his loss and the healing of his wounds easier and faster.

One of these many friends were you, to Ekko you were a tiny bit more special than the others as you just understood him so well and always listened.

There’s many activities you and Ekko would do when he wasn’t checking around the base or doing other things, though your favorite one was sleepovers!

Ekko was sitting on your sofa, munching on different snacks as he would watch you walk towards him with a hair tie in your hands, a shy smile on your lips.

"Can you braid my hair for me?" You innocently asked him, not knowing about the sudden flashback in his mind as his eyes widened slightly.

"Sure..sure I can.." He murmured, forcing himself to brush his feelings off.
