So what happened is I listened to music while being bored and started writing and within a hour I got this hope u enjoy

Menma's pov
As we kept staring at each other for a few more minutes I finally snapped out of my trance and said
"S-so where do I sleep?"
I asked with my face just crimson red it was to much of a sight and with the question she snapped out of her trance and said
"T-there's a couch that should be big enough for u"
"O-ok"
I then started going towards the couch thinking about what just happened as I plop down it starts to rain and hard which made me calm it was nice I always liked it when it rained it brought peace to my mind which was then interrupted by thunder while I knew I could sleep I heard a squeak like sound coming from the bed I looked over to Nari and asked
"Are you ok?"
"Y-yes I was just startled"
"Ok if u say so"
The I turned around and tried to fall asleep then thunder hit again and the same sound came from her I looked over to see her trembling
"Don't tell me are u scared of lighting?"
"W-what me scared of lighting p-please don't talk nonsense"
"Ur trembling"
"I am not!"
"It's okay to be scared I ain't making fun of u"
"Yes I am there happy now u can tease me all u like"
"May I know why ur scared of it at least"
She then froze and I wondered if stepped on a land mine and as I was about to say something she said
"When I was a kid one of the noble boys tried to scare me with lighting magic"
Yup definitely a sore spot
"Tried means he didn't succeed but u know u don't have to talk about it if u don't fell comfortable with it"
"No I should know since u might have to deal with it and how to calm me down"
"Ok as long as ur comfortable"
"Well he's lighting magic was talented for his age but it wasn't enough to scare me and he realized this and asked me for a duel"
"A boy asking a girl for a duel doesn't he know how stuff works?"
"He knew but even then I was known as the woman who took a man's path which made me seem like a man"
"Well that's a sore spot so please don't talk more if ur uncomfortable"
Nari's pov
Why am I telling him even if he is going to be engaged to me I could just tell him house to calm me down why am I telling him about that shitty memory why does it feel comfortable with him and while he was saying that last thing I though he didn't want to deal with it but he's only asking me to stop because he thinks I'm uncomfortable with it what is this guy how can he read people so well
"It's okay well I feel comfortable enough to talk with it to u I guess since ur the only outsider that accepted me it feels like I shouldn't hide it u know"
"Well as long as u don't regret ur decision I'm okay with it"
"Well then as I was saying he then challenged me to a duel and well he lost which made him quit embarrassed and-"
"Let me guess his dad didn't like the idea so he hired some sort of lighting mage to make an accident that would give u trauma and that's how u ended up being afraid of lighting"
Silence was what followed was it really that predictable will he tell me to get over it
"Well since ur not talking Imma guess I'm right there's only small advice I can give u and it simple all u u can do is move forward"
I knew it just like the many others
"But it's hard to do it by yourself"
What is he saying of course I have to do it my self who would help me
"If ur thinking who would help u well u got a a friend sleeping her ready to listen to whatever problem u have"
I was just stunned what gives him that mindset and unconsciously I started sobbing silently and then it got a little louder
Menam pov
As I finished I hoped I had given this girl some advice she is only a teenager that is lonely as she has no friends to talk to and as i was thinking heard sobs freaking out I jumped from my place and said
"W-why are u crying did I say something wrong dammit Menma u should have just stayed shut"
As she continued crying the only thing I could think of doing to comfort her is set near her and start caressing her head while whispering into her ear
"It's going to be okay"
Over and over again waiting for her sobbing to calm down then I realized she had to much bottled up after all it all ran deep since childhood and only a teenager at that so I said The one line that kept me pushing through life after my old man died well in the past one
"Strong people think that they can fight everything themselves but in reality they can't they always need help and that help comes form a friend that friend can be as weak as a fly as whimsy as a puppy as much of a coward as a little boy when faced with a dog but when they are with them those features go away the weak one will act strong to help his friend the crybaby would act like a badass and the coward would act brave all for their friend all u have to do is find that friend and lean on them for support and if u never find one then u can come running to me and I'll help u with all my power"
As I finished my long speech she started crying uncontrollably balling her eyes out all I did was hug her gently and pat her head this girl wasn't the elegant strong girl everyone knew she was just a normal girl crying her eyes out in the comfort of a friends trembling so much that I felt if I let go of her she would break a fragile mind that can't take it
After what seemed like an eternity she stopped crying and fell asleep as I saw her still tense I held her hand and slept there with her only thing on my mind is if my presence is enough to let her feel safe then the darkness of sleep took over me too but my hand still gripped hers tightly
