TRUTH LIES BETWEEN: NOVEMBER
by miang
Hikaru nudged his head up from his arms, features clouded as he contemplated the figure across from him before speaking. Eventually, he uttered softly, "So you don't hate me?"
Akira wadded up the paper wrapper from his straw and flicked it toward Hikaru. It bounced weakly off his forehead. "Idiot," he drawled. But his expression turned serious, and he straightened in his chair. "It certainly took long enough, though. It would be foolish to say I never saw it coming."
Hikaru smiled ruefully at his erstwhile opponent and lifelong rival. "Two years and six months, yeah, I'd say that's long enough."
Akira smirked as he rose to leave. "Don't start thinking I'll let you make a habit of it, or anything," he called over his shoulder. Predictably, he was met with a counterattack, the cry of "What do you mean, 'let me'? Hey, Touya, you take that back!" growing louder as Shindou struggled to clean up and run after him. The crunch of leaves alerted him to Hikaru's proximity seconds before a warm hand closed on his shoulder. Akira faltered - "Shindou," he murmured softly, wonderingly - before Hikaru let go, steps falling into pace with Touya as the two walked on in a companionable silence.
