Showing off another new icon. Kenya, Shiraishi, and me on one of our outings. I sort of like the photo because we're all looking in different directions and being casual, not posed.
Hey, Kenya? Noticed you didn't reply to Saeki's post about the bonding bonfire thing. Isn't that normally something you'd jump at the chance to do?
Hanging out with Bane on my stomping grounds has been a lot of fun but a bit weird as well. It's like I'm letting him in even more by showing things I like to do and where I grew up. These are things Kenya only knew, and Yuushi to some degree by default. It was like the brief tour I got in Sydney. A peek into another's life. I know it's not a big deal and others have seen it and he's shown others personally but I felt like I was trusted with a special secret. I'm getting sappy again.
It's strange but nice having two friends I can trust with everything and know they won't turn their backs on me or look at me with pity. In all the years I've known him, Kenya has never given me that look and it still makes me smile when I think about how lucky I've been to have such a best friend. To think, it was because of being a "mistake" and getting bullied over it that he swooped into my life.
No matter what, Kenya is a friend I never want to lose. He understands me like no one else although I think Bane's trying to. I should probably tell Kenya how much he means to me in my life. If he goes to the bonfire and asks me to join him, we can sit a bit away from others and I'll tell him. Campfires make things more magical and mesmerizing, right? And doing such gestures under the stars is so becoming our thing.
But if he doesn't go or goes but doesn't ask me... I'll still tell him somewhere else but maybe Bane or even Jirou will drag me along. I want to go but I don't want to deal with the fuss of showing up willingly and alone. Ugh, such a hassle. I do like to do things as well, people. Stop acting so surprised.
I'm getting too sappy again and writing a lot.
