Chapter 4

"Hm, I need to return this. It's served its purpose." Shun said as he put the Mr. Puffy keychain in his pocket. He tapped a few buttons on his watch then disappeared with a trail of light left behind.

Jack awaited Shun's arrival. He constantly looked at the time, hoping he'd hurry up. He heard the bell ring and swiftly moved to the door. "Took you long enough." Shun shrugged then handed him the keychain. "Didn't mean to keep it so long. Heh, can't deny that I'm a fan myself." Jack invited him in and they chatted awhile.

Crow was on his way to meet Jack, who had invited him earlier. He yawned then noticed someone leaving Jack's place. "Is that Shinji? Hmm, nah. This dude's taller." As he got closer, he finally recognized who it was.

Shun started walking in Crow's direction, only noticing him as he got closer. They stopped and greeted each other. "What a surprise. Didn't expect to see you here again." Shun chuckled then felt an intense wave of nostalgia and joy spread through his body along with a moderate headache. He must've not looked well because he heard Crow say, "You alright? You look pale. Let's get you back inside." Just as Crow helped him lean on him, he felt a surge of pain shoot through his head.

Jack forgot to mention something to Shun, so he rushed out to catch him before he left. He stepped out and saw him and Crow collapsed on the ground. "What the.." he started as he rushed towards them. "Are you two alright?" he asked worriedly. He carried them inside, wondering what to do next. He called for Shinji to come down, hoping he had some idea.

Shun opened his eyes and saw Crow next to him. He always felt like he was connected to him, but never really questioned it. "I feel comfortable and relaxed...and so warm." He sat up then noticed Jack pacing around. "Hey. No need to pace, we aren't dead." Jack twisted his face in annoyance then scoffed. Shun felt tempted to reach out and stroke Crow's hair. Just as he neared, Crow awoke.

Crow sat up then rubbed his temples. "Man, that was brutal. It was like, so much was rushing into my mind and it just couldn't take it.." He looked over at Shun and noticed his face was a little flushed. "Hey, you sure you're ok, Shun?" he said as he leaned over to feel his forehead. "Wait, I've never done this before..to anyone, well, except that one time.." He quickly backed away, face somewhat flushed then cleared his throat. "Y-you seem fine to me. I'll uh, take my leave now." he said as he quickly got up and left.

Yuto knocked on Shun's door for the second time. "Why isn't he answering.." He turned the door knob and noticed the door was open. He walked in and didn't see him. He sighed then decided not to bother with his affairs. "I'll just tell him when he gets back." he said quietly.

Shun found himself going after Crow. He silently followed behind, trying not to be detected. He saw him walk onto the grass then sit under a tree. He heard faint voices coming from Crow's direction. Shun crept closer, trying his hardest not to make noise. The sound of a child crying gave him a scare seeing as how it was unexpected. "Shun? Shun? Are you okay? Even after telling me to be careful too. Why did you let yourself get hurt?" He waited to hear the response. "Because you're important to me. If I let you get hurt, I'd regret it forever." he said. He could tell that whoever it was, was smiling just from the words that were said.

Crow opened his eyes then sighed. He looked over and saw Shun falling asleep. He felt his body move on its own to lean him against himself. "This is strange, but I like it..It's getting pretty warm. Maybe it's the weather.." He eventually drifted off, as they both were sitting under a memory full of memories.
