꧁༒I'll Be Your Peace༒꧂

Hearing the sound of the alarm, (e/c) eyes flutter open as (s/c) hands rub them to ease the drowsiness away. (Name) grabs his phone that's beside him to turn off the alarm, then his eyes looked at the screen and saw the date, making his lips tilt into a fond smile and his eyes shine. "Waah~! It's been a month and a half since I transferred to Furin, huh? Time sure flies quickly..."

After his morning routine and saying his goodbyes to his family, (Name) is now walking outside of the minka, making his way to school. But, before that, he stopped by Cafe Pothos where Kotoha is.

Opening the glass door of the restaurant, he's again wrapped in its warmth and the delicious smell of culinary delights fills his nostrils, making him hungry again. Not only that, aside from Kotoha, there's another figure sitting on the bar stools. The person he rarely sees, one of his precious friends that he missed so much! Those white hairs of his, that can be compared to snow, are swept in style, his blue downturned eyes seem to shine.

Noticing another presence came in the dine-in restaurant, the two pairs of eyes looked at the entrance to see and greet the person. Seeing (Name)'s familiar face, their faces softened. "Good morning, (Na-!" The white-haired male got cut off when he felt your larger figure lunge towards him. "Whoa, careful, (Name), or both of us would fall." He said before letting out a laugh while his arms made their way around your waist. But he let out a confused hum when small sniffles were heard. Worry filled him as he slowly breaks the hug for him and Kotoha to see crocodile tears flowing from your eyes. You still look adorable even when you're crying, and it felt like a huge arrows pierced their hearts as both of their cheeks redden at the sight.

"What's wrong, (Name)? You're making me worried! Did something happen?" He asked, his voice laced with concern. "I'm just so happy to see you! I missed you so much, Ume-chi!" You sniffled, burying your face in his chest. "I rarely got to see you, and I just... I just missed you!"

The white-haired male chuckled, patting your back gently. "I missed you too, (Name). But hey, once I'm done with my tasks, I'll always visit you whenever you want, that's a promise!" He said, his voice soft and comforting. "Me and my sissy here are always happy hanging out with you."

Kotoha, watching the scene unfold, smiled warmly. She knew how much these two meant to each other. She was happy to see them reunited.

"Alright, alright, enough with the hugs. I'll cook some breakfast, you must be starving." She said, leading you towards a table. "Nii-san, (Name)-kun what are you having today?

"I'll have the usual, please." He replied, his voice going back to its carefree one.

"U-uhm... (Favorite food)!" (Name) said, now back to his cheerful self.

"Alright, coming right up." She said, disappearing into the kitchen.

As you settled into a booth next to your white-haired friend, you couldn't help but have a huge smile. It was good, now that he's back again. You also can't wait to hang out with them more.

Kotoha returned from the kitchen, placing your favorite dish in front of you. The aroma wafted up, making your stomach growl in anticipation.

"Here you go, (Name). Enjoy!" Kotoha said with a warm smile.

You dug into your meal, savoring every bite, feeling content and grateful to be surrounded by friends who cared. The chatter and laughter around the table filled you with a sense of belonging and joy.

As you enjoyed your meal, you couldn't help but think how lucky you were to have such wonderful friends by your side. It was moments like these that made you appreciate the simple joys of life and the warmth of friendship.
