Even though Samir knew the parent's would chide them later for running off and leaving such a mess behind, he couldn't find himself to regret running. Muscles burning and his breath short as much from the activity as just being with Emery, he finally skid to a stop next to the other boy. "It was," he gasped back, matching Emery's grin. "It's because when I'm with you, I feel like I can do anything. It's the same for you right?" Leaning closer, he couldn't help but want to close the distance between them even more. It was strange, but in moments like this, he found it easy to be honest with himself. And his honest self was not entirely a child anymore.
