Getting soft hearted for the weird kid wasn’t what you expected, the kid who acted like a girl and was with girls, dancing and acting like one of them, how could you fall for that?

he got a lot of shit in school for that too so he didnt come that much, but you were his best friend and you were there through everything, especially if it hurt him.

before he left japan to go to korea, he told you he liked you and naturally he matured, he was still teasing and quirky but manlier? Like any teenager and you liked him too, distance shouldn’t be that hard right? Or so you thought.

Yeah a year or two was doable but 4 years? Neither your or Riki imagined lasting this long, but there was something weird. Riki changed and not in a good or a bad way, in a confusing way. You saw him in every form, he got less romantic, he started dyeing his hair, from light brown to light purple to blonde to black to orea and back to blonde you saw it all change through face time and video chats, he didn’t lose interest he just..changed. And you didn’t know how to expect it. He got popular on campus you found that out in a not very pleasant way, you found out when girls kept hounding around him when you called in between classes. He had a lot of friends, his seniors mostly, a group you could say and everyone knew him, you didnt expect that much of a personality change from someone like him

girls liked him and you could see why, but it made you insecure, you knew he hayed desperation from girls but it still bothered you, what if someone hot snatched him away? It was possible he was just that guy. Unapproachable but someone you’d still love to sleep with, and obviously he couldnt tell people he had a girlfriend, you’d get so much shit and life would basically be hell

he was indifferent, nonchalant, cold and just plain to talk to, and not only to everyone but to you as well sometimes and you didn’t know how to welcome it, since you hadn’t witnessed it in person, he’d cut calls off early, talk less and share less things, he wasn’t even enthusiastic anymore and he found you too clingy sometimes but he’d never say it.

you had changed too, you both were now more mature, like the 19 year old adults you were, completely different from the kids you used to be, you got fairly attractive too riki just never paid attention to it, but if anyone changed drastically it would have to be him, you grew up but he transformed.

You made a promise to him you’d come for him in university once he was in his second year, if he lasted that long. Somehow he did and you wanted to keep your end and surprise him, you knew you couldn’t socialise and you didn’t keep any hope of riki talking to you during classes because of people but when you walked in trying to find your way into the principal’s office, the hallways were empty because classes had started and you bumped into a 6’3 guy who had bubble tea in his hand, spilled on both of you, wearing a brown jacket, hooded up and baggy ass jeans, maybe even too baggy, and platinum blonde hair and sunglasses from chrome hearts, a true fashion icon whos face was partially visible because of his hood, but yeah with your 7 year old rubber band on his wrist with the specific red bow, it had to be riki.

“Damn it, you girls will do anything for attention.” he said not realising who he bumped into. Right now he seemed so unfamiliar to you, almost foreign.
