Usually, I do not feel the need to run. Teleportation aside, there’s no haste or thrill worth that much energy - not that I do not feel excitement nor that I’m never in a hurry. But there’s no impatience worth feeling beads of sweat rolling down my skin. A steady pace normally responds to my needs, even the most urgent.
Somehow I still found myself running in the unlit street of my neighbourhood. The destination was uncertain and the road so unclear, but I was still running. Purposelessly, maybe not so - I couldn’t tell, I was not able to hear myself at the moment. My ears buzzed as my heartbeats resounded in my head like a cacophony. Or maybe I was just more aware of myself in the finally silent town - Again, I don’t know. At the moment, I just knew how to run.
And I ran to him, unconsciously if I lied, consciously if I were true to myself. Do not be mistaken, I do not seek sympathy nor pity. I try my best to not end up in sticky situations, I consider talking about my feelings to be one of them. Again, there’s few moments in my life worth discussing with anybody - maybe that’s a lie. Or else I wouldn’t be running towards his house much late at night. I didn’t want to think about this further. I couldn’t even read his mind, I didn’t even know if he was awake. He’s even more unpredictable than the roll of dice, and even that I could bend to my liking. Not him.
It’s only when I arrived that I asked myself : what the fuck am I even doing ? I did not check the time before leaving, but I was pretty sure it was way past two in the morning - there’s no way in hell he was awake. I could check with my clairvoyance, but I did not have to. I didn’t want to. And I can even bring myself to knock. The more I stood there, the stupider I felt. Alone staring at the wooden door in the middle of the night, with no damn clue of why I was here and what to do. I should just teleport back to my-
– I thought I heard you, partner ! Did you come all down there to have ramen ?
…What ?
There’s no way in hell he could have heard me. I was not even talking out loud to begin with. Except if the most idiotic guy became a psychic all of the sudden and somehow felt my presence from miles away, that was quite impossible. Thinking of it, he already noticed me among a crowd. Quite a strange power. And directly asking me to eat ramen as if it were normal ? I knew this guy had no neurons, but come on ?
It was weird. Nendou’s usually weird, but it made me smile. Maybe I was the oddest between us.
“Sure.”
