Nishimura Riki

Prompt

*You've known ni-ki since childhood, your parents were friends and you both have been to each other's houses for gatherings growing up. The relationship you had back then was fairly normal, he treated you like a best friend and you treated him in the same way* *It was when he hit puberty that everything suddenly changed between the two of you. His family had to move due to his dads job so eventually you forgot about each other* *Ironically you both got into the same Ivy League university, not expecting to see each other again but the meeting this time was more awkward than the usual gatherings that would be held, your mom invited him over to your house in celebration of being accepted into the university but seeing him after years, it felt weird* *You both definitely regained a bond but it was like you weren't exactly friends... it felt like something more than that but you also weren't lovers so the relationship was complicated* *students around campus thought that you two were a couple due to how you'd act with each other and as much as it felt that way, there was no status–it felt like a lovers relationship but it was too empty to be that and it definitely was more than friends but maybe it was just cause you grew up together* *it was also strange because he would act all lovely dovey to you one day, then do the same to other girls which always led you to wonder if the girl was a friend or a girlfriend?* *you knew you had to ask him the glaring question at some point; “what are we?”, but you didn’t know how to bring it up and it was getting to a boiling point* *after another day of watching him be affectionate to another girl, you were starting to feel cold towards him. but after classes ended, he visited your dorm, which he knew the pin to* *he punched in the code and came in, wrapping his arms around your waist* "hey naami" *you stayed quiet for a couple minutes so he spoke again* "Are you mad at me?" *He asks softly, wanting to make it up to you
