Ring, ring.
“Hello?”
“Hey. It’s me.”
“You shouldn’t be calling me, you know.”
“I know.”
“Then hang up. I don’t want you to get in trouble with the jimusho.”
He laughs at that. “Don’t worry, I won’t. Besides, I don’t think I really care if I do.”
Sigh.
“I’m telling you; hang up. You’ll get in trouble.”
“Why don’t you do it then?” there’s that challenging tone in his voice that the other rarely hears.
“I- I can’t do that. It’s not polite,” it’s a weak effort, but it’s all he’s got.
He laughs again through the line.
“Did you see Inoo’s message for you on his J-web?”
He told himself not to check anything from them for a while, but he did anyway because he thinks he’s a masochist like that.
“Tell him to delete it.”
“He misses you. The others miss you.”
“Do you?”
“Of course.”
“You really shouldn’t be calling me, or have any contact with me at all.”
“If you’re that bent on killing this conversation, go press that button. No one’s stopping you.”
“Fine, then. I will,” he realises his voice shakes and hopes the other doesn’t notice it.
For a minute, his thumb hovers over the ‘end call’ button.
“You’re still there~”
“Shut up. Since when did you get like this?”
“Since you left. And there’s my dad. Maybe I’m more like him than I realise?”
“Don’t joke, Keito.”
Both of them stay silent for a while.
“Oh, look. It’s almost two. Night, Ryuu.”
“W-wait!”
“I thought you wanted me to hang up?” he can hear his amusement, loud and clear.
“Tell them- tell them not to do anything to try and reach me.”
“Okay. Wait for me tomorrow, same time.”
Click.
For the longest time, he stares at his phone and goes to sleep with a smile.
