"I--If you know what you're saying, then there's no need for me to explain. No fathers. Friends." And then he shuddered. "Did you really have to put it like that? You called the pastry your baby, you know."

“I uh,” he stammered, eyes flickering to gaze anywhere but the male before him. Elliot was struggling to come up with a secret to confess, at least, one he didn’t mind sharing. “I-I’m not proud of it, but I ran away from home.”

hate yo break it to ya but inanimate objects tend to do that when you drop them

yes i was

Dear Kiki, I’ll start off by saying I don’t have a way with words like you do; Everything I say comes out clumsy, broken, and slightly contorted from its original meaning; My writing is no different; But I guessed, since you were a writer that you’d appreciate the words on paper, no matter how awful I am at expressing myself; Thank you, for treating me with such kindness; I was wary of you at our initial meeting, when you greeted me with a strange comment; I think it was about me smelling funny, but I’m not quite sure; We hadn’t known each other for too long before you gave me a flower, a gift I keep preserved, even now; I was delighted of course, but so confused as to why anyone would give me something so precious; Why anyone would shed benevolence on me; But you continued to do so, even after I attacked you (not in the right state of mind, but that doesn’t matter, doesn’t mean I don’t regret doing so); You wouldn’t hurt me, even then; You believed in me, despite the monster you knew I was; Even though your faith is misplaced, I thank you for that; My gratitude, it cannot be expressed with any amount of words, in any language; That one thing you said to me, I don’t think I remember it exactly, but: You illuminate; I cannot stress the times when simply being in your presence would grant me such uninhibited joy; You may disagree with me, but believe me when I say that you’re a wonderful, irreplaceable person; One of my few regrets in life is not meeting you sooner; I know that something has been off about you lately; I won’t pry on the matter, but if talking about it will help, I’ll gladly listen; I just want you to know that no matter what happens, we’ll always be friends; And you’re a better person than you give yourself credit for; I’m sure whatever you’re going through, you’ll pull yourself out of; And if it’s too difficult to do so alone, I’ll be sure to lend a hand; You can’t see color though; I think you’ve mentioned it a few times before, but I’d forgotten about it until recently; Oh, please forgive me for allowing the matter to slip my mind; I’m pretty useless, but if there’s anything I could do to thank you for all that you’ve done for me, I’d like to help you gain your sight for color once more; It may seem like a difficult task, but I’d like to think it’s not impossible; There must be some way, some way; I must be able to do something, anything—; And finally, thank you for being my friend; We’ve had our ups and downs together, in the short amount of time we’ve gotten to know one another; And I’m grateful for every moment spent with you; May your life be as vibrant as you are, dear, wonderful snake;;; —Your Friend, Elliot

Elliot's worried gaze shifts to the box, holding back the questions forming on his tongue. If Naoki wanted to talk about it, he would. "Kiki, are you alright? I mean, if you don't want to do this, it's fine."

Why did he agree to this? “Well uh, um. Yeah. That’s a thing now.”
