História Trapped - Vol 1 ( part 2, unfinished )

the boy entered the door of the house, walking towards the circle again.

— what? it didnt work? — said the man, worried.

— No, it didn't work... — Kami lowered his head hiding the sadness he felt

— we can always try again! —George took another one of the papers

After countless tiring attempts, George was already at the limit of his energy and dawn was about to break outside

— I can't — muttered kami who instantly fell to his knees on the floor — they don't want me there, I'M GOING TO STAY HERE FOREVER, HUH? AM I GOING TO STAY HERE FOREVER?!! — he shouted

— noo! its not like that, im sure u can live in heaven forever when we discover what you need to— George tried to get closer to calm him down

the boy, desperate, hallucinated seeing the silhouette of someone else instead of George, which made him get scared and run to the nearest corridor in the house; where he sat near the exit hiding his crying in a fetal position. The old man tried a new approach, this time sitting carefully next to the boy.

— name's Ramon, what about u? —

— Musoka Kami — the boy babbled between sobs without lifting his head

— ooh, you really are not from this city... Muso... Musoka... ah! Muso sounds like miso!! yay miso! ♡ i'll call you miso —

— do i look like a soup? — Kami thought

— look, now that we know each other a bit, know that you can count on me from now on, we'll discover together what you need to be accepted in heaven — finished George

Kami, still sobbing, raised his face soaked with angry tears, giving his new acquaintance a look of trust.

— yeah! You're a brave boy miso! — the oldest gets up, leaving the surprised boy behind

kami remains in place, still with his head down he looks at his own hands

— Will my destiny be to wander forever? — He whispers as he makes his fingers cross the floor, confirming that he's not dreaming.

the boy gets up to observe the architecture of the house as a way to distract himself, going to George's room out of curiosity; sitting on the edge of the luxurious bed there, at that moment George comes out of the bathroom to the left of the room, leaving there wrapped from the waist down in a white towel

— aawn you're following me — commented the older one jokingly, looking at the boy in his bed

— sorry, are you rich? — asked Kami

George laughed before responding.

— middle class honey, do I look unenployed to you? i work from 8am to 12pm —

— really? I'm not used to seeing large houses from the inside, that's why I asked. If you don't mind listening, I lived in a small apartment; there was almost no furniture or entertainment utensils— Kami looks at the floor, interrupting his own speech as if he was remembering something

George feels bad seeing how uncomfortable Kami looks, he sits down next to the boy.

— im going to the market, wanna go with me? — he commented with the intention of changing the subject.

the boy looked at him vaguely, barely lifting his head.

— will you allow me to accompany you? — asked the boy

— why don’t? but u need to help me getting ready, i loved your fashion sense boya — George gets up going to his luxurious wardrobe

kami in turn looks at his own clothes, analyzing himself for doubting the man's opinion.

with a touch of censorship from the rays of sunlight that appeared from the window, George removed his towel and took a black shirt from the drawers; no print; solid color

— whatchu think of this one? — George showed the shirt, holding the piece of clothing in front of Kami

— え... we've known each other for a short time, so I don't know your style, I think looks good— Kami commented

— real? thats all u gonna say? — George makes a cute sad face — I thought u was going to say something more —

— がっかりさせて申し訳ありません ( im sorry to disappoint you ) —

— ill tell you one thing misonary, I wanted to dress up with more stylish clothes, but eveybody will look at me and say that I look terrible —

— why you simply don't ignore everybody's opinions? —

— I wouldn't take being bullied for the whole year — George smiles in a tense way

He gently takes a necklace of sparkling pearls from his dressing table and brings it closer to his neck, as if he intended to wear it.

— do you see it? if i use such a delicate thing like that, for sure someone will call me faggot —

the scene cuts to Kami and George walking on the streets of the city center, with the older man keeping a serious expression, which made the boy think "where did that energetic man from before go?"

— the city seems radiant to me today — Kami commented trying to reduce the tension between the two in that place

George looked at both sides of the street full of people, before discreetly signaling the boy to enter an empty alley on the right with him. As soon as they enter, the older man sighs, breaking his serious posture as if he was slowly withering away.

— i cant talk with u here little miso — George makes a sign for silence

— Of course, I beg your pardon, what a big mistake of mine, I forgot that other people don't see me — replied the embarrassed boy 

— ah... I see a lot of spirits whose appears to be so cool that make me wanna say hi to them, but noo, I have to wait for them to come at my house — George pauses his own speech to look up aiming for kami's hat — there's a little ghost above u now —

the boy gets scared and follows the direction of the man's gaze

— well, it's just a little kitten, I thought you were going to point to a big demon again —

The two leave the alley, the small pen sized animal still resting on kami's hat.

— Do you want to adopt this kitten, sir? — the boy asked George
