Mess. My mind was a complete and utter mess.

The strange encounter earlier filled my mind with doubt.

What I felt back there was indescribable. He was barely an acquaintance, and yet...

And yet...

My heart won't stop racing at the thought of him.

Taking a look at the place where the charming boy fell only made my thoughts more confusing.

For as long as I know, the possibility of making new friends would give me some sort of joy, but I don't think this is what I felt earlier.

'Maybe it's something... more?'

Realising what I just thought of embarrasses me. He was just a stranger, after all. Nothing more.

'Perhaps it's the shock. He fell on me and must have muddled me so much that I imagined things, yeah... That's what I must have felt'

The answer turning out to be as simple as that puts my mind at ease, the wind breezing gently around me helps too.

That is until a certain voice chimed in...

"Greetings again there, stranger."

My eyes widen as a warm feeling spreads across my chest, and my heart races yet again as I fidget around in my place.

"I'm here to apologize again, and you see... I seem to be a little lost, and I couldn't heal myself in my current state. Are you from around here, perhaps?" He said with the same tone from earlier with an idyllic smile.

The feeling from earlier crept back again; my body won't move, and I can't understand why I would feel so nervous.

"I... I.." I can't seem to mutter anything out.

The stranger tenderly looked at me, patiently waiting for my answer.

"Hey... yeah... I um... I-I..." I can't seem to talk clearly, much like a stuttering 5-year-old who's struggling to find the next word to say, "am I from... here?"

He giggled charmingly and hummed, "mm-hmm, that's what I asked."

It took me a few seconds before managing to say anything, "um... yeah, I'm from around here. You need help, right?"

My cheeks felt warmer as my fear from earlier seemingly dissipated, for some reason, talking to him felt... good.

'What's happening to me? Why am I feeling like this?'

"Indeed, I'm a little lost, and I think I need to heal myself. Could you perhaps help me out a little, stranger?" He added.

"I know someone who has healing powers... he could cure you I s-suppose..." I breathe in before encouraging myself to ask,"Hey... m-may I know what your... your name is?..."

"Oh my stars-" he giggled to himself, "-I'm so sorry for my impudence, I've completely forgotten to introduce myself, my name would be sans, but people usually call me memory, how about you?"

"I... you can call me Helian," My heart skipped a beat as he offered his hand to me.

"Well, nice to meet you then, Helian!" I managed to take his hand timidly.

The warm feeling imbued in my chest, yet again, it was indescribably similar to happiness.

"So.. shall we get going then?" He asked as he took away his hand.

"Huh? Oh! Of course!" I muttered as I started leading him in a somewhat clumsy way.

He giggled and followed me quietly throughout the journey.

After a while, we arrived in an area where I could usually find my acquaintance; he's known as Nishiki.

"Hey Nishiki..." I opened the conversation.

The skeleton was busy sketching the surrounding, he has fox-like ears and tails that twitched when he looked at us.

"Oh, hi again Helian, what's the occasion?" He responded nonchalantly.

"This is Memory, an acquaintance of mine -" I stepped aside to show Memory to him, "- he seems to be hurt, could you possibly cure him? Please..."

He looked at him quietly as he stood up and put his sketchbook down, "Hm... Depends. How much HP did you lose?"

Memory hesitated a little before manging to murmur something "0,5 ....out of 1."

Nishiki raises his eyebrow as he extends his arm. "Well... we need to link arms for the procedure, if you don't mind. "

"Oh, I don't mind at all," Memory responded instantly as he linked his arm with him.

My heart sunken for a s split second, but I tried my best to keep myself composed.

'This is required so he can feel all better... but why... Why do I feel so terrible looking at them.. together'

A translucent orange hologram manifested as Nishiki used his magic, interrupting my train of thoughts.

His HP was transferred to Memory instantly, and he fell to his knees because of it.

"Oh my goodness, are you alright?" Memory asked as he bent down, trying to help him out.

Nishiki just nodded as he took his offer and stood up.

"So... Is that all?" I managed to ask with my usual tone, trying my best not to appear cold.

"Indeed, the procedure is complete," he responded.

Memory smiles warmly and gives him a little bow. "Thank you so much, I really appreciate it."

"Oh, don't worry, it's no big deal," he smiled at him as he replied.

Before my heart could calm down from looking at them, Memory spoke again.

"I am so sorry but you see... I have healing magic as well but I can't apply it to myself, it takes my energy so it's not that efficient and I was wondering, how did you do all that? That was really fascinating."

Nishiki looked at him in a tender way, "It's this family heritage... in my family, only females could do that kind of magic"

"Woah! That's really interesting," Memory exclaimed, jumping up and down excitedly.

He laughed happily at the sight. "Oh fox!... I didn't think I could be interesting."

"Why I think you are, tell me more, please!" Memory gleamed with curiosity.

He smiled in flustration before beginning to talk. "Oh well..."

They gleefully converse with one another. Meanwhile, I... just stood there looking at them.

As time passes by, they seem to get along even more.

My mind blanked out all of the noises as my feelings clouded my thoughts.

For whatever reason, anger planted deep inside my chest.

'What does he have that makes him so much more interesting than me? I've known him first, so why does he talk more to him?'

To make matters worse, Nishiki seems to be upset about something, and the first thing that Memory did was hug him, trying to calm him down.

My chest got heavier instantly as my mind became a puddle of mess.

'Wh-what... why... is this making me angry? Why is it that I don't like him being nice to him... does that make me selfish? Why... why have I never been this angry before? Why.. does it hurt so much?'

The surrounding began to be blurry, I was in the verge of tears as I can't seem to withdraw a conclusion to my own feelings.

All I can do is withdraw myself from the scene, I felt way too many emotions that I don't like together.

Without saying a word or bidding a farewell of any kind, I've paced away.

I tried my best to think rationally for why those feelings appeared when I was around him and yet I could only come to one conclusion.

It was just me.

The one that having a problem was I alone.

There was never a problem present to begin with.

It was simply me being the problem.

'I was being selfish and rude even, that's why he doesn't want to even talk to me, that's why nobody likes me, I'm... just a foolish numbskull'

My mind spiralled into an abbyss of self loath as I kept running.

But then... the same charming voice chimed in.

"H-hey, wait!," he said as he stopped me, he held my hand in a firm manner as he made me turn around to face him.

"Helian... wasn't it? Thanks again, I owe you one. " Hearing his voice makes my vision fuzzy again.

'A-am I crying? In front of him from all people? What if he thinks I'm weak because of this... I- I can't possibly bear with that, I need to hold it back....'

But alas, my own body betrayed me.

My legs have grown weak and I sat down in an instant, tears streamed down my cheeks in an instant.

It felt so unfair, I never once cried in front of a stranger and yet...

I can't seem to hold my feelings back with him, I was about to break down yet again, but then...

"There there" he whispered to me as he hugs me.

My soul felt like it was put in a fluffy sheats of cotton as he pats my back and wipes away my tears.

"I don't know what upset you, but you can tell me if you want, I'm here for you" he looked directly into my eyes as he smiles comfortingly.

My mind became clear in an instant.

"No... Memory.. It's alright... I'm fine" I managed to mutter.

"Really?" He asked as he kept on patting me tenderly.

I tried my best to muster up a smile, "yes, you don't have to worry."

Instead of letting go of me, he gave me another hug.

"I'm glad then," he whispered in my 'ears'.

My heart races as reality itself became brighter for me.

I hugged him back as I savour the moment.

Oh how I wish we could be like this forever.
