Summary: Guren tries to get through to Gen. Yet, Gen is so closed off and stubborn. And who does he take it out on?...Guren.

Part 1:

Guren yawned and blinked his eyes a few times.

Today was a very boring day for him. Ceylan was sick at home, and Toxsa went with Chooki on a field trip.

Guren noted that Gen was here, but he didn't return from the previous break. Pretty much ditching.

Being the only other person he ever talks to, present that day, Guren couldn't help but feel lonely. Yet worried as to why he didn't come back.

Since his friends were away, he was alone during lunch. He felt lost.

So instead of awkwardly sitting at a table by himself, he decided to take his lunch to the roof. Hopefully where he can eat in peace.

As Guren stepped onto the platform, he heard faint words reach his ears.

"I hate this world…...I hate everyone here…."

Upon hearing such depressing words, Guren approached the black figure in the corner.

Gen's eyes widened as he heard light stepps come closer, then stop near his side.

A hesitant voice spoke up, "Are you alright?"

Gen recognised the voice as Guren's.

He thought, 'Why is he here?'

Guren spoke again. "G-gen?...Gen, what's the matter?"

Concern laced in every syllable Guren uttered. Gen hated it. 'Why does he sound so worried? Why does he even care?'

As a hand rested on his arm, Gen was thrown from his thoughts.

And acting on impulse, he lashed out. Striking the hand.

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!"

'Doesn't he sense we are supposed to be enemies!?'

Gen turned, and screamed in Guren's face. "WHY DO YOU CARE?!"

Guren veered back, and stumbled to the ground. His eyes stung with moisture.

As he blinked back oncoming tears, he held onto his hand.

At once Gen stopped all movement and thought, as he watched a tear roll down Guren's face. It dropped and soaked into his red shirt.

Never before had he thought Guren was capable of being upset. He'd only ever seen cheerful expressions in the majority of his pictures he had of him.

This on the other hand, was very unusual. And Gen noted every moment of it.

Then Guren choked out, "...I-I'm sor-ry Gen…I just...thought.."

Gen's eye twitched.

"I thought…. w-we could.. be friends!..."

Guren wiped his eyes with his sleeve and sniffed.

Gen swallowed, as he felt his chest feel tight. 'What?'
