" ... Can't you just... make friends with other people? "

" T-They already have group... "

" ... Hum, makes sense. "

Kuro said as he walks inside a supermarket.

Fubuki, decided to follow in silence, deciding not to ask what Kuro is doing here.

As usual, Kuro took an instant noodle and bought it.

" Eh? Rokaku-san? "

" Hm? "

" Why are you... buying an instant noodles? "

" It's cheap, and fast to make. "

Kuro replies, as Fubuki nodded slowly.

" ... Wait, how many times have you eat the instant noodles? "

Fubuki asked.

" Every day? "

Kuro replies, as Fubuki le gasp.

" Oi oi oi! It's not good to eat an instant noodle everyday! "

Fubuki said as she took his instant noodle, as Kuro looked at where his instant noodles was.

Then, he looked back at Fubuki, with a deadpan.

" Give it back? "

" No. "

...

" *Sigh* I'll just buy another one. "

" HAI HAI STOPPU STOPPU! "

Fubuki said as she get in front of Kuro.

Kuro, reared back a bit as he looks down.

" Hey! Do you know that eating instant noodles everyday is not good?! It's bad for health! "

Fubuki scolded Kuro as Kuro just looked at Fubuki.

Fubuki, then began explaining in a fast pace. As to why it's bad to eat instant noodles as Kuro just looks at her.

" -that is why! Eating instant noodles everyday is bad for your health! "

...

" You done? "

Kuro asked as Fubuki takes a breath and nodded.

" ... Look around you. "

Kuro said, as Fubuki raises her eyebrow and looked around.

Oh.

Realising that it seems she has gather some crowds. She crouched down under the table as she cover her face with her hands.

Kuro, crouched down and poke her head.

" What are you doing? "

" ... "

Kuro, didn't get any reply, as he sighed. Then, he look at the crowds.

" What are you looking at? Mind your own damn business. "

He said to the crowd, as the crowd disperse.

Kuro, tap on her shoulder.

" Oi, the crowds already dispersed. "

Kuro said as Fubuki slowly looked around, and as Kuro had said. The crowds is already gone.

Fubuki, sighed in relief.

" ... Why are you... that shy? I mean, it's just a crowd, just mind your own business. "

" I-I'm not used to this kind of stuff... "

Fubuki said as Kuro nodded.

" Why? "

" ... I've been... homeschooling since I was a kid... "

" ..? Why? "

" ... I-I will tell you when I'm ready to... "

" ... Okay. "

Kuro said as he took the instant noodles and continues on eating.

—————

As Kuro finished eating, he and Fubuki walks outside of the supermarket. As they walks to the school.

Kuro, took the earplug and plugs it in to his ear. As he plays a song.

He smiles in satisfaction, as the song started.

Fubuki, interested in what he's hearing, decided to ask.

" Hey, Rokaku-san? "

" Hmm? "

" What song are you hearing? "

" Just a song. "

Kuro replies as he looked at Fubuki and see her fidgeting her finger.

" ... "

Kuro, took off his left earplug and put it in inside of Fubuki's left ear.

As the song reached the Chorus, Kuro and Fubuki enjoys it. As Fubuki nodded to the song while walking.

As soon as they reach school, the song ends.

" Was it good? "

Kuro asked to Fubuki, which, in return gave him a smile and nodded.

" It was! "

Fubuki said, as Kuro raised his eyebrows and chuckle.

" Nee nee, Rokaku-san? "

" Hm? "

" Can I come to your classroom? "

Kuro, once more raised his eyebrows.

" What for? "

" I want to see your classroom! "

" Hm..? *Sigh* Okay. "

Kuro said as Fubuki smiles and Kuro, walks in with the edge of his lips, curved up.

But soon, his smile is gone.

They continues on walking, as they reach Kuro's classroom.

Kuro, walks inside.

" Here's my classroom, nothing to see though. "

Kuro said, as Fubuki looked around and ' o ' ed.

Kuro, walks to his seat and drop his backpack. As he put it next to the table.

Kuro, looked at Fubuki.

" By the way... you're not putting your backpack? "

Fubuki, noticed it and scratch the back of her head sheepishly.

" Ahahaha... chotto matte! "

Fubuki said, as she ran outside the classroom. As Kuro, sighed and shake his head, as he chuckled.

Soon, Fubuki came back with a breakfast on her hand.

Kuro, raised his eyebrows.

" You hadn't eat at home? "

" Hm? No, I always eat breakfast at school. That's why I arrive early! "

Fubuki said as Kuro ' o ' ed.

Fubuki, take a seat in front of him, as she settle the seat to head against Kuro.

She opened her lunch box and there is a burger. With a french fries.

" ... "

Kuro looked at her breakfast silently, then, look at Fubuki.

" Ehem. "

Fubuki, looked at Kuro and tilts her head.

" Nani? "

" ... *Sigh* Nothing. "

Kuro said as he waved at her, and she nodded. Then, she grabbed the burger and bite on it.

*Mm~*

Fubuki began eating her burger as Kuro took out a book consist of hundreds of paper for drawing.

Kuro, took a case of drawing pencil, as he took out one of it.

Kuro, use his thigh to put his drawing book. As he draws.

Fubuki, watches as she ate her burger.

" ? "

Kuro, continue on sketching, as he looked at Fubuki and saw her looking at him.

" What? "

...

This is awkward.

...

Anyway, Kuro continues on drawing while casually glancing at Fubuki.

Kuro, once attend a competition for drawing, and he copies an image on google.

Well, like once I said before.

He looked at the image and copy every last bit of the detail.

Kuro loves to redraw something he had draw. Well, not that he's capable of drawing one that is his own.

And because of that, he earned the online title ' Copy Cat '.

Fubuki, got curious, as she wonders why Kuro is glancing at her once a time.

Fubuki, got out off her chair and walks up to Kuro.

Then, she saw a drawing and is shocked.

Although the drawing is still only the lines, the shadow is there.

The drawing is of Fubuki eating the burger.

...

She is left speechless, how can he draw this in a mere minutes?

How is he capable of doing this?

Is what questions running through Fubuki's mind as Kuro just stares at Fubuki.

" ... You okay? "

" S-Sugoi... "

Fubuki said as Kuro smiles and nod in satisfaction.

Kuro, already remembering the shadow and light. Began colouring.

After a few minutes, as Fubuki finishes her burger. Kuro too, finished his drawing.

Fubuki smiles happily as Kuro stretched his body.

" Sugoi..! "

Fubuki said once more, as Kuro chuckles and look at her.

" You want it? "

Fubuki, snap her head to Kuro and nodded rapidly. As Kuro chuckles.

" Hey hey easy there. "

Kuro said as he rip the upper part that held the paper and gave it to her.

( Though the drawing will probably be ripped or cramped in the end. )

Kuro thought as he chuckles.

Fubuki, takes a hold of Kuro's hand.

" Arigatō arigatō arigatō- "

A—nd Fubuki began thanking him rapidly, to which Kuro widened his eyes and blinking a few times.

" Uh... yeah it's okay. "

Kuro said as Fubuki still keep on thanking him.

" What could I pay you back for?! "

Fubuki said as she straightened her head.

" ... It's just a drawing. "

" I know! But... it's my first gift from someone else than my parents... "

Fubuki said with a soft smile as she looked at the drawing.

Kuro, sighed.

" Well, you could pay me back... with anything I guess? Just don't use materials or money. Or I will probably ask for something to help... "

Kuro said as Fubuki nodded rapidly.

" ... But seriously, stop nodding rapidly, or your head will fall off. "

Kuro said jokingly to which she stops and giggles. As Kuro, chuckles.

Kuro, looked at the time and is shocked.

" An hour has already passed? "

Kuro asked to himself, as Fubuki looked back.

" Ah, well I'm going back to my class! Oh and Rokaku-san? "

" Hmm? "

" Thank you! For talking with me! And giving me a gift! "

Fubuki said with a smile, as Kuro nodded.

Fubuki, walks out of the classroom, as Kuro sighed.

" That girl... heh. "

Kuro mumbles to himself, as he chuckled.

—————

*RIIIIIIIIIIIINGGGG*

" Alright class, you may go. "

The teacher said, as Kuro stood up, grabbed his wallet and head outside of the classroom. As he then saw Fubuki leaning on a wall.

Kuro, raised his eyebrows, as Fubuki, straightened her head and waved at him.

Kuro, sighed as he smiles a little and walks up to her.

" Hey. "

" Hey. "

...

" So... want to head to the canteen? "

Kuro asked as Fubuki nodded, and they walked through the hallway to the canteen.

They both ordered a Fried Chicken, with a french fries.

" By the way, want to eat at the roof of the school? "

Kuro asked as Fubuki, nodded.

" Sure! "

Fubuki said with a smile, as Kuro nodded and walks up to the rooftop of the school.

As they reached the top, they opened the door.

Wind breezes to their way, as their ties flutter away. Kuro, sighed in satisfaction as he walks to a bench.

They sat on a bench, as they opened their food.

" Itadakimasu. "

They said together as they take a bite on the fried chicken.

*Crunch*

Mm...

" As good as always... "

Kuro said, as Fubuki nodded in satisfaction.

Kuro, looked up to the sky as he laid back.

" ... "

Kuro, closes his eyes as Fubuki looked at him.

" What are you thinking? Rokaku-san? "

Fubuki said, as Kuro opened his eyes and sighed.

" Just... thinking why we are here in the first place. "

" ... Eh? Weren't you the one who suggest to go here? "

" *Chuckle* That's not what I meant... "

Kuro said as he gazed to the right.

" Why are we, humans here in the first place? Why are we, humans, are born? What are we even supposed to do..? What is our purposes... "

Kuro said, thinking about his life.

Truth to be told, he is barely hanging on the thread of the rope of life. He really is tempted to let go of the rope and dies...

He just wanted this whole hard things to do in life to end. He doesn't want to work anymore.

Kuro sighed as Fubuki just listen closely...

" Well... I guess we won't know... but I suggest we enjoy life as it is! "

Fubuki said with a smile as Kuro chuckles and nodded.

" You're truly one enjoyable girl to talk with. "

Kuro said, in a matter of fact tone, as Fubuki blushes a bit and nodded.

" R-Rokaku-san..? "

Fubuki asked as Kuro, looked to Fubuki.

" What? "

" C-Can I... "

" Be your friend? "

" ... Sure. "

Kuro replied without hesitation as Fubuki's face lighten up.

" Arigatō arigatō arigatō- "

A—nd she continues on thanking him again.

*Chuckle*
