“Zero things to do. I’m all yours. For whatever. You know.”

[kenji kishimoto quotes @kenjiquotebot]

“Hey, Sam,” I say, “did you know that your wife wants to kill Juliette?”

[kenji kishimoto quotes @kenjiquotebot]

“Oh, right,” he says. “Because that makes sense. Because tossing a grown-ass man over your shoulders is just so freaking easy. That shit just comes naturally to you.”

[kenji kishimoto quotes @kenjiquotebot]

“Do you ever miss it?” I ask Kenji. “The way things used to be?”

Kenji is standing on one foot, when he looks up and frowns. “I don’t know what you think you remember, J, but the way things used to be wasn’t much better than the way they are now.”

[kenji kishimoto quotes @kenjiquotebot]

Castle smiles. Nods, just once.
Kenji pulls him into a fierce hug, holding on for only a few seconds before breaking away. The two stare at each other with some kind of silent recognition. Castle rests a hand on Kenji’s arm.
Kenji grins.

“You’re seriously not going to tell me what happened?” He looks up, offended. “I tell you everything.”

“Sure you don’t.”

“Don’t be fresh.”

“Oh, man—you know what? Never mind,” is the first thing Kenji says to me. He’s cringing, shooting me a sidelong glance as he says, “Maybe you really should work on your wardrobe?”

“I don’t know, J. I think maybe this is one of those times when you should still be relying on him. He knows this world way better than we do—and, bonus, he’d be able to tell you what you should be wearing.” Kenji shrugs. “Fashion really isn’t my area of expertise.”

Kenji is quiet for a moment. He’s gripping his spoon, poking at his food. Finally he puts the spoon down. Motions for James to join him on our side of the table. I slide down to make room.

“Come here,” he says to James, pulling him tight against the right side of his body.

“Hey, gorgeous.”

[kenji kishimoto quotes @kenjiquotebot]

“Your suit looks just like mine. I’m supposed to be the one with the black suit. Why can’t you have a pink suit? Or a yellow suit—”

“Because we’re not the freaking Power Rangers,” Winston says, rolling his eyes.

“What the hell is a Power Ranger?” Kenji shoots back.

Kenji stares at me, his lips making no sound as he mouths the word psychopath over and over again.

The psychopath in question winks at me from where he’s standing, smiling like he couldn’t possibly be holding a gun to the head of our mutual friend. I manage to suppress a laugh.

“Well, I’ll be damned, He didn’t kill you. That’s a really good sign.”

[kenji kishimoto quotes @kenjiquotebot]

“And if something goes wrong?”

“We scatter.” Kenji clears his throat. “We run. We hide. We think of only ourselves. And we never, ever betray the location of Omega Point.”

[kenji kishimoto quotes @kenjiquotebot]

I’m so happy for my friends. I love them, even when they piss me off. I care about them. I want their joy. But it still hurts a little when it feels like, everywhere I look, everyone seems to have someone. Everyone but me.

“You’re going to lock us up in your ‘private training quarters’?” Kenji says, making air quotes with his fingers. “Why don’t you just say you’re going to put us in a cage and kill us slowly? You think I’m a moron? What reason would I have to believe that kind of shit?”

[kenji kishimoto quotes @kenjiquotebot]

“Like, you thought you’d be killing a bunch of bad dudes by now? High-kicking your way through politics? Like you could just kill Anderson and all of a sudden, bam, world peace?”

[kenji kishimoto quotes @kenjiquotebot]

“Birthday gifts from your dad?” Kenji blinks, fast. Looks around, speaks to the air. “What the hell kind of soap opera did I just walk into here?”

[kenji kishimoto quotes @kenjiquotebot]

“I can’t believe Castle didn’t tell me.”

[kenji kishimoto quotes @kenjiquotebot]

Kenji’s arm hangs loosely around my neck, and he pulls me closer, tucking me into his side. I rest my head on his chest.
