                           ------------------------


While we were eating we didn't talk to each other. But it was a comfortable
silence.
 
Souma finished before me and laid lazy on the table. He was starring at me the
whole time and I had no idea why. It was annoying and a bit embarrassing
aswell.
 
"What?" I asked with light pink cheeks.
 
"Nothing really. I just thought..." he paused thinking about what to say next.
 
I got a bit impatient, put mz fork down and spoke up before he did "Thought
what? Speak."
 
"Well I just thought that you're really cute" he answered.
 
I was so surprised that I chocked my food and cought, trying to bring one word
out "What?!" I looked at him,irritated and with red cheeks.
 
"I mean, when you finally go to school I guess you'll quickly find a girlfriend
and I'm sure you'll be popular with the guys too" he leaned back and looked
blankly up at the ceiling.
 
"Oh...you think so?" I spoke quietly to myself so that Souma couldn't hear. I
clenched my hands to fists in my lap, looked down at them when I felt a little
pain in my chest.
 
~*TIME SKIP*~
 
While I cleaned up the kitchen Souma looked alone around the house so that he
knew where everything is.
 
When I had finished I made tea for us, sat down on the chouch and waited for
Souma to return from his little expedition. He came back but in the short time
he wasn't there I had already fallen asleep.
 
He covered me up with the blanket that was laying on the couch, sat down on the
floor leaning against the couch and sighed while he was looking in the garden
thinking about something.
 
'The drawings....they must be from him'
 
~*TIME SKIP*~
 
On our way into the city I plucked some flowers again like I always do when I'm
outside.
 
"You like flowers, huh?" he asked watching me with a small smile on his face
while I smelled on thee red and violette ones.
 
"Yes, I actually like them really much" I said calmly, looked at the flowers in
my hands and smiled. 'They remind me of my grandma'

We continued walking down the path until we finally reached the city. When we
walked over the street in the city and towards us came a few weird guys, I
suddenly hid behind Souma and clung to his arm.
 
He looked at them and then me while I closed my eyes tightly out of fear and
begann shaking slightly. Then he looked forward again and asked what the matter
was.
 
"I'm not used to so many and such people...". He smiled a little and I didn't
let go of his arm until we arrived at his home.
 
It was really messy.
 
"I'm sorry that I didn't tidy up". We stood in the door to the living room.
 
"Ah!... No that's okay!" I waved nervously with my hands. "But where are your
parents?" I looked around.
 
"They are never really at home" he put down his things beside the couch. "Put
your things there. I show you everything".

Souma walked to the first room and opened the door "That's the bathroom. Just
use it how you want". Next room "This is my parents bedroom. I'll sleep here.
And you-" he walked to the next one "-will sleep here. That's my room".
 
'It's the only tidy room' I thought while looking around the room.
 
"If you need anything just say so". The blue eyed boy walked to the kitchen and
I followed him. "Say...are you hungry?" Souma asked when suddenly my stomache
growled. He looked at me with big eyes and then laughed "I think that's the
answer to my question".
 
It was a little bit embarrassing and I blushed a bit.
 
Souma opened the fridge "Shit! I forgot to buy something" he scrached the back
of his head.
 
"Then let me buy something now".
 
He looked surprised at me "But you can't handle crowds and besides, you dont
know your way around here. It's to dangerous. You could get lost".
 
"Ah!... Uhm" I had already totally forgotten about this. It was fine on our way
here because I clung to his arm.
 
Souma walked to the entrance and put on his shoes "Then let's just go together".
I looked at him with big eyes and smiled.
