Chris felt uncertainty and came to conclusion maybe Kiyomi didn't feel the same way, his days lingered over an ocean ready to engulf him into the depths of the sea, he was confused.

His closed his eyes thinking of the way she used to look at him, he thought about her eventually realizing it was a true routine loving someone who is a friend but you don't see them as a friend.
He couldn't help but long for her, he waited until she established her feelings making everything the same again but, the atmosphere was silent between the two while their hearts where loud they both expressed thoughts that neither could read nor comprehend. His eyes eventually met hers, he felt the world stopped knowing he couldn't have her heart like he intended to.

Those moments with her were for nothing, it was a true effort and he knew what he felt wasn't a mistake, no doubt in his mind about it.
The kiss created a firmament between the two, separating the vaults, the sky and their souls.
He wanted to talk to her, they were once the atlantic but she became the pacific to him separating the two oceans, they were once two blues, his blue eyes indicated the love he felt while glaring at the painting he once converged with, her blue indicated the affection she felt. The clouds indicated how the air softened and eventually droughted the two blues and left two red bloody hands.

And red was never his favorite color nor hers but every time she told him a joke, his face turned red, just as the two fell for each other they fell for their shades red; the color her eyes would change to when she once cried, it was a red that indicated their love, the red they both knew. He fell in love with her yellow the color he felt when she smiled, the field of dandelions he once stood upon, his 50 shades of yellow he once knew.

His pink; the pink clouds he floated on when he was with her, the shade of her blush when he said something to her and how he once felt when her eyes lightened up.

He fell in love with every color that came with her knowing her eyes were brown come to complacency with the idea that she probably didn't know color of his.

Chris was sick of the words that reminded him everything would get better, it just reminded him things weren't already better.
He wanted to be with her, no other place he rather be than her arms. The distance between him and kiyomi was unbearable so he eventually his feelings behind leaving her with residuals with what they could've had.

"chris are you okay?" Chris was thinking about the day before the kiss, everything was so much better than now.
They talked about their friendship to each other, why is everything different.

It took the two of them to the path where they once were, where they didn't know what the others hand felt like.
His thoughts took him to the nearest corner where their hearts were dancing and they knew tomorrow wasn't promised

and the last sit where he could see another guy, she tells him to shut up in her mind and they're no longer speaking.

he eventually leaves her behind and she is in the last sit where the corners are connected trapping her into the vortex of true love.

the sand box eventually reaches the height and fades leaving remnants of memories of what they once had. chris knew it was never ending just like his love for her was never ending.
"I'm okay Matt" behind his monotone voice was a inner child that wanted to hold on to someone and just cry.

He put so much effort into loving her, it wasn't returned. The love wasn't reciprocated like he thought it would be, maybe he was wrong about Kiyomi not liking him her heart maybe did skipped a beat too.
He stared at the door she walked out of, it was the beginning of a memory when she once walked into his life and now she left his soul in a deep sadness.

"kid I'm sorry that happened to the both of you, I hate that you two aren't talking even when there is people around you. it is like a loud silent in a room full of noise"
"Matt i decided to just leave it behind, I'll just be her friend"

"tell her that Chris, don't stress yourself about that. people fall for one another at a different point in time, she does feel something for you and she doesn't want to hurt herself nor you. I rather you find someone that is ready to love you, she is your person and maybe it is right person wrong timing but you two will find a way to each other"
Matt remembered the words Nick once told him which grew him into the person he is now, he knew how to love someone mostly importantly himself.

He wanted the same for Chris, Chris never really understood the concept of love but wanted to feel it one day hoping one day he'll find his someone which lead him to Kiyomi. But that love wasn't like it was marvel on about in the books. It was different.

She was perfect in his eyes no matter what she did, love was blind but love proved the most beautiful revelation; two lovers that are lost will always be found.
