🝮 a small Drabble of being his best friend and helping him with his worries
"So how'd practice go?" You ask, tossing your backpack onto the couch and dropping down beside it.
"... Fine." Hiori replies, his focus still on the TV.
You don't press further. You're used to this routine by now. You know Hiori is usually eager to talk about everything except his practice. But today seems different. He's quieter than usual and there's a frown on his face. Maybe he's overthinking things again.
"Are you sure you're alright?" You ask, giving him a glance.
Hiori doesn't answer for a moment. You know he's probably debating whether or not to tell you.
"It's just... it was rough. I missed that last shot and everyone was talking about it afterward, you know? They kept saying how I've never missed that shot before."
"I know," you reply, nodding along. Hiori has been struggling like this for a while. You've heard him talk about these problems before, but something does feel different today...
"That doesn't matter though... but still, I'm supposed to be the perfect player. I'm supposed to be the best... and right now, I don't feel like that at all."
Hiori glances your way, searching your face for any sign of judgment. But you've heard these worries before. You know exactly how to handle it.
"Hey, you know what?" you say, smiling at him. "That shot didn't matter. We all mess up occasionally. We're human, not machines."
Hiori lets out a sigh, but you can see he's relieved. A smile spreads across his face as he relaxes back into the couch, finally accepting the positive message and letting go of his worry.
"Yeah..." he mumbles. "You're right. I know that."
You give him a light pat on the shoulder and grin back at him. "Of course I'm right," you say, "I'm your best friend."
Hiori smiles again, and then suddenly remembers something.
"Oh, hey... you promised you'd help me with that one level, didn't you?"
You roll your eyes, but also grin.
"Yeah, I remember," you say, "I'm here to keep my promise."
And with that, you two launch into some intense video gaming.
You laugh at his comment, but soon enough he actually does catch up. The intense competition continues, with neither of you backing down.
You and Hiori are neck and neck as you play through the level, strategizing and making split-second decisions. At one point, you manage to pull ahead and take the lead.
"Yes!" you exclaim, feeling proud of yourself. But Hiori doesn't seem upset. In fact, he's smiling as well.
"Good job," he says. "Don't worry, I'll catch up."
The two of you are so absorbed in the game that you barely notice when the time has passed. It's been hours, but it feels like only minutes have passed. It's late now, but neither of you wants to stop playing just yet.
"Shall we call it a draw?" you ask, and Hiori nods, smiling.
You two turn off the game and walk back to the couch. You're tired but still buzzing with energy. You collapse back onto the couch, and Hiori snuggles up beside you.
The two of you sit quietly for a moment, enjoying the quiet but also feeling the tiredness creeping in. Hiori leans his head on your lap, and you stroke his hair gently. Then he speaks up again.
"Thanks... for always being here for me," he says, glancing up at you.
You nod, smiling back. "It's no problem," you reply, "that's what best friends do, right?"
He laughs softly, closing his eyes again. "Right," he says. "That's exactly right."
Hiori shifts slightly on the couch, snuggling a little closer to you, and you feel him begin to breath slowly as he drifts off to sleep. He's sound asleep now, a peaceful look on his face. You look at him for a moment, feeling your eyes growing heavy as well.
