...It's funny. I've known him since we were kids.. and yet.

I never truly felt like we had.. a real connection. I always found him intolerable.

In the past, I remember.. thinking I was a horrible person. Maybe I still am, but..

He probably just wanted a friend. A real one. One that didn't value him for his smarts, gaming abillity, or anything silly like that.

Because.. Being all alone in the world is one of the most terrible things that can happen to you.

Recalling my old behavior, sure.. he was annoying, but.. I don't think he deserved the way I treated him entirely, either. Maybe.. I was just as much of a problem.

He.. really cared about me, in his own strange, way.

Always trying to protect me, look out for me, wanting the best for me.. And I don't think I really put much forward on my end to reciprocate, besides helping him be #1 in Alphys's class.

Misfortunate. That's really the only way I can describe the old situation. The way our friendship used to be.

I just hope..

We can continue getting along like this. I don't want to lose him- but I'm too embarrased to say it.
