Kazuha, your best friend since childhood. He was a quiet one, you were sure of that. Nonetheless, he was a good friend. He stuck right by your side throughout your life.

There’s just one more week before you two graduate. The two of you lay on a hill, gazing up at the stars. The scent of the coming summer would feel your nostrils, that slightly sweet, dewy summer air.

It was your spot. The spot you’d go to on cool nights and talk about nothing and everything all at once. This might be the last time you’re here.

The grass is cool against your back, hand just barely grazing against his. You can’t help but think… What was going to happen to you two? Sure, you can always keep in touch, but was that really that really the path life would set you on?

Things were different with Kazuha. Something about his aloof, calm demeanor set your worries at ease. He was the person you were the most comfortable with, after all.

Ever since senior year started, something happened. You don’t know when, but at some point, you stopped seeing him as that dorky boy you met at the playground. It was like something was changing. It was almost like there was a possibility that there could be something growing between you two.

Something more than friends.
