Best Friend

No matter how much I insisted on looking for him, the assistant stopped me with a polite smile and a businesslike look. "I'm sorry, Miss Luna."

I was completely deflated. It wasn't appropriate for me to barge into Robin's laboratory. I had to sit outside and wait bitterly with a cup of coffee.

As I watched time pass, I felt less and less confident. Just as my thoughts began to run wild, Robin finally walked out of the closed laboratory.

After seeing me, Robin was stunned for a moment before smiling at me. "Luna, I'm really sorry. I was so engrossed in my experiment that I forgot about this."

I quickly stood up and looked into his gentle eyes. "It's okay," I said. "I want to know the results of that sample. How is it going?"

Robin's expression changed. He didn't answer me. Instead, he led me all the way into the lab. When we were alone, Robin smiled. "Luna, we're best friends, aren't we?"
