Nanon and I are pretty much hanging out every day now. We even sit next to each other in class. Some of the other kids have started calling us "The Twins" because we're always together. It doesn't bother me, though. I kind of like it.
Today after school, we went to the park. We climbed the tallest tree there, and Nanon got a little scared when we were up high, but I helped him down. He laughed when his feet touched the ground again. He's really starting to come out of his shell, and I like seeing him happy.
It's nice to have someone to share everything with.

It's strange how quickly Nanon went from being the new kid to my best friend. We've been through a lot together in just a few months—building forts, biking through the streets until dark, and even getting into trouble for staying out late too many times. Mom and Dad have stopped telling me to make other friends. I think they've realized that Nanon is enough for me.
We have our own inside jokes now, and even though we're in different clubs at school, we always end up together at the end of the day. I've never had a friend like him before. It feels like we're brothers, but somehow... closer.

Nanon's been staying over a lot lately, especially on weekends. Last night, we stayed up late talking about what we want to be when we grow up. Nanon said he wants to be a doctor, like his mom. I think that's cool. I said I want to be an astronaut, which made him laugh. He says I'm too scared of heights to go to space.
Sometimes, when he laughs, I feel something warm spread through my chest. It's the kind of feeling you get when you've been cold for too long and finally step into the sun. I don't really understand it, but I like it.

We've known each other for four years now. It feels like we've always been best friends. People at school don't even ask where Nanon is if they see me alone—they just assume he's around the corner or something. And they're usually right.
Today, I realized something: Nanon understands me better than anyone. He's the only person I don't have to pretend with. I don't have to be the funny guy or the smart one or anything else. When I'm with him, I can just be me.
I think that's why he's so important to me. He makes everything feel... right. Like no matter what happens, as long as he's around, things will be okay.
