Chapter Text
"Kou" Mitsuba says, his voice a little shaky, still shocked from what happened
"You know i'm gonna have to tell Yashiro and Hanako about this?" he questions.
"Mitsuba, please don't I-I don't want them to know, they have their own problems to deal with."
"Kou-"
"Mitsuba please." He says his voice sounding desperate and slightly cracking
"Kou I can't just not tell them! Their your FRIENDS they deserve to know about stuff like this!" Mitsuba yells his anger and sadness mixing in his voice,causing Kou to freeze
"M-Mitsuba... I-i listen." Mitsuba cuts him off
"I'll leave you with the choice of being there when I tell them or not." He states "Theirs no way I'll just not tell them about something as important as you trying to k-kill yourself!" His voice cracking as he references Kou suicide attempt, letting out a slight sob as Mitsuba looks Kou in the eyes
"I choose not to be there." he says after a while,quickly breaking eye contact with Mitsuba as he stares at his shoes.
"But Kou just know after I tell them I will have a conversation about this with you."
"Mitsuba it's not that big of a deal-"
"YOU TRYING YOUR KILL YOURSELF ISN'T A 'BIG DEAL'!?" He says his voice raising as he lets out a chocked sob as he finishes his sentence.
Mitsuba let's out a audible sigh "Kou you do know that we care about you? your friends and I. You can tell us about your problems we'll be will listen"
Mitsuba says still looking at Kou hoping he'll look back.
"Do you think I don't consider you as a friend? You said 'your friends and me' because I do consider you as a friend." He says, his cheeks turning a light pink as he looks Mitsuba in the eyes
"I- Uh yeah it's just... Uhm nothing don't mind that!" He says, his cheeks also changing into a pink hue
"O-ok if you say so" Kou says, looking Mitsuba in the eyes finally noticing the tears that prick at the corner of his eyes.
