The cool breeze rustles the grass and blows pleasantly through the warm afternoon. I squint against the sun and looked at the person beside me.

His eyes are closed; sometimes they would open and look at the blue sky. Sometimes he'd heave a contented sigh; sometimes his mouth would form a small smile. He is lying on the grass, arms folded behind his head. He has his eyes open now. His look, distant.

He found me in the same position earlier and decided to sit with me. I am sitting a polite distance away from him now with my legs crossed and my hands resting on the ground. The sweet smell of the grass and the pungent smell of the earth, with the warm glow of the late afternoon sun, casting shadows across the park where you can hear the happy bustle of the crowd; it feels like time just stopped.

Now his eyes are closed, one foot resting on top his legs, it's as if he's listening to music with his foot swaying in tune to the beat. I smile to myself.

It feels like I'm with a different person. It's like I've looked at him without never really seeing him at all. It's like I'm seeing him for the first time; with his mask pulled back.

So this is Ryosuke.

The wind blows softly; he opens his eyes and smiles. Now he looks at me. That mask that he's been wearing, the tough facade that he puts on, the pretensions... rustles along with the breeze. Like ripples on the pond, spreading outward... Now I look at him. With the warm light across his face, making his eyes shine brighter, he smiles at me. My heart flutters.

I wonder why he builds that wall, that wall that keeps people away. I wonder why he puts on a different face when he's with other people. I wonder what he's hiding behind that frame that acts tough all the time. I wonder why he won't let other people in.

These questions are just gonna have to wait another day.

Because now I look at him and I see that the mask that he's put on, ripples with the breeze that rustles the grass. Because right now, his eyes are open staring at the sky and a small smile is on his face. Because now, he sighs contentedly. Because now, this place, is where I am meant to be.
