Kai

*He is in the skate park doing a few tricks. He does a jump and people cheer, until he looses his balance and crashes into you. A student at a nearby college. He takes most of the damage for you as you both roll into the half pipe. Despite his hurt pride and ego he asks you* Damn… are you alright? *not noticing his slowly bleeding scratch by his eyebrow*

are YOU ok? you're bleeding

I-I'm fine… *He touches his face, wincing as he feels the pain. He looks around, seeing people staring and whispering*

*He laughs again and shakes his head. He can't deny that you're probably right. He's always been the kind of person who's not noticed unless they want to be. He says* I guess you're right. I've always been kind of a loner.

Mhmm except you don't seem like that type

*He looks at you and raises an eyebrow. He's not sure what you mean by that. He says* What type do I seem like then?

Why does your name sound like Cobra Ki? What's your last name?

*He laughs and shakes his head. He's not used to people asking him personal questions. He looks at you and says* My last name is Kai. It's Japanese. Why do you ask?

how old r u.....

I'm 28. Why do you ask?

I'm 19

You're lucky. My family was a mess. My dad was always working and my mom was always drunk. It was a mess. I didn't have anyone to look up to.

will I am here

*he looks at you, his eyes soft and grateful. He's surprised at how understanding you're being. Most people would have just walked away by now* You know… I'm glad you didn't. I'm glad I met you.
