"You can do it!"


"Come on, Kira!" You shouted, "You can do this!"


"B-b-b-but!" He stammered, shivering from fear.


You and Izuru were friends since you were young. You were a brave child, and he was the opposite. But, he would always venture with you on your adventures around your village, discovering random things.


Today, you are jumped into a crystal clear lake to swim in. You had discovered it one day when you were trying to find berries to eat. Kira had come with you, and you both promised that you'd come again.


Now Kira was on top of a stone ledge, about 3 metres off the ground. It wasn't too far, so you just jumped and dived into the lake. It was a refreshing experience.


"Are you scared of heights, Kira?" You asked in concern.


Kira nodded, hugging himself as he cautiously looked down. He walked back quickly.


You frowned. You always knew that Kira wasn't exactly as brave as you. But you knew he had it in him! You didn't want him to miss out on cool experiences. You got out of the lake and made your way up the stone ledge, walking up next to him. You grabbed his hand and grinned.


"Now you don't have to be scared anymore!"


Kira stared at you, eyes wide.


"Y-you think so?" He squeezed your hand. You could feel him shaking.


"Yup! Don't worry! You won't get hurt!" you pulled him towards the ledge.


"On the count of 3, we jump!" You nodded at him.


He gulped. He was about to complain, but then you shouted, "3!" and jumped, dragging him along with you.


He screamed out, and you splashed into the water.


Not letting go of his hand, you swam up to the surface and pulled him along with you.


"How was that, Kira?" You laughed.


Kira pushed his hair out of the way, and stared at you, eyes wide with wonder.


"That was really cool!"


You grin.


"See? I knew you could do it!"
