Ueda Tatsuya
Chapter 5
He wouldn’t enter the house anymore...He couldn’t, not after what happened.Tatsuya sat and watched the fluffy clouds passing by on the sad sky.He laid down the huge patch of grass on the hill and just watched the freedom of the clouds.But suddenly, the wind started blowing and the grey clouds moved faster, opposite the direction that they were heading before.
„They aren’t that free after al...nobody is.”Tatsuya muttered andthe felling of sadness took over him again.He knew it, he just knew it and he asked for it when he let himself be cared for, when he gave a hint of humanity.He knew it was wrong, he wasn’t even sure he was a human after all, but he tried to live normal and not draw attention on him.
Of course, THEY made it hard to hide IT, and IT became annoying.Being something out of the ordinary was hard to hide and even harder to lie poeple about who, rather WHAT, you really are.But that was his life.If anybody would be to find out about IT, they would all use him and hunt him down, and then, he would eventually die.
„Tatsuya, we should go buy you some clothes”a voice said from behind.Tatsuya turned around, he knew exactly who it was, and he smiled...he acted human.
„Thank you, Junnosuke, but I’m fine with all I have.I’ll go again tonight, see what I can take...”Tatsuya looked up again, wishing himself luck.He had to go, and he had to do it before HE would realize it.He had put up a plan for what he wanted to do and he was going to complete it.Failing was not an option.
„Tatsuya...”Junnosuke sat next to Tatsuya and placed a hand on his shoulder, making him jump a bit and then relax.He looked at Tatsuya’s wounds, the cut on his cheek and the deep cuts on his hands.Also, he could clearly see the bruises on his neck, dark spots that he wanted to heal.
”Tatsuya...you’re not alone...”
Seconds stopped and Tatsuya slowly turned his head towards Junnosuke, who was looking down.Junnosuke looked at Tatsuya and his eyes could only express surprise and fear when he saw IT...the real Tatsuya.
~Flashback~
After Junnosuke packed his things, he and Tatsuya bid their good-byes to Junnosuke’s parents.Tatsuya kept bowing deeply and thanking for their hospitality, and Junnosuke’s parents kept telling him that he was welcomed anytime.They all went with it that way for a bit and then they said good-bye again.Junnosuke and Tatsuya walked rather quickly and reached Tatsuya’s house in less than 10 minutes.They got in, but the slight darkness surrounded them, so Tatsuya turned on the light.
„Tadaima!”Tatsuya yelled, knowing his mother wasn’t home, so he went to the kitchen to take something to eat and ended up taking out a carton of milk from it.Junnosuke followed him closely. Junnosuke said that, in exchange of saving him, he’ll have to let him sleep over once.Tatsuya happilly agreed, thinking that being a fake-human wasn’t that bad, he only had to hide IT and that’s all.
„You’re pretty energic today!"Junnosuke smiled and then turned around, just to see an angry face of somebody he didn’t know.
„Umm...Tatsuya, who is this?”Junnosuke asked, making Tatsuya turn around quickly, panicked at the other’s question.His eyes got bigger in surprise, for he didn’t see this person from 5 years now and he didn’t really miss HIM .
„What are you doing here?”Tatsuya coldly questioned, starting to look a bit like his mother.He glared at the man, the one who was 2 years older than him.He was taller than Tatsuya and had brown messy hair.He had a dark aura around him and that could only mean bad.The man was dressed with a t-shirt and a pair of old jeans that got into a pair of fancy men-boots.He was beautiful and misterious at the same time, so Junnosuke took his time to study this guy, discovering something new every time he looked.
„Don’t get so cold Tatsuya, you would be dead if I wasn’t here.”the man replied sharply and then glared at Junnosuke.
„And who is this, fairy-boy, your „friend”?the way the man spelled „friend” made Tatsuya angry and he almost threw himself on the man to starngle him.
”Is thet how you call them now?What about Ryo, was he a „friend” too?Tatsuya said, putting the same accent the man used on the word friend.
„Watch your temper, I’m not here to save you...rather your mother, again.And you'd better be careful, I’m here for revenge and I’ll have it as soon as possible.As for Ryo, I think you know precisely what happens if WE fall in love with someone or if someone falls in love with US.”the man said, frowning and letting a grin appear on his evil face.
„What are you talking about?You’re worse than me, you know!?Saying nonesense like that, nobody understands you.Now, get out of Tatsuya’s house, you’re not welcomed!"Junnosuke suddenly burst, making the other two look at him surprised.He was all red and he seemed ready to kick anybody who picked on him.
„Now, now, you hyper, you wouldn’t want to leave Tatsuya without a family.Now that she’s gone, I’m his only relative.”the man said, leaving Junnosuke with a blank expressin, not knowing what to belive.
„Where’s mom, Jin?”Tatsuya asked firmly, yet not sure if he wanted to know the answer.He looked at Junnosuke and signaled him to get out of the house, moving his look from him to the nearest door.But to Tatsuya’s horror, Junnosuke said a plain „No” and moved quikly next to Tatsuya, making him slap his forehead.
„Mom isn’t here anymore. So, again, you’d better take care , you never know when your life will end...but about your mother; let’s just say that she knows how much she deserved what she’s had and now is at peace.”the man speaked quickly.
„You’re sick.”Tatsuya simply said, and then turned around to go to his room.”I’m going to take my things.I will leave as soon as I can, don’t bother to try to stop me and tell me it’d be different.Come on, Junnosuke”
Tatsuya ran upstairs and locked himself and Junnosuke in his room.He knew how dangerous Jin is if he gets angry, he had IT too, and the thought of scarring Junnosuke and becoming a monster made him shake his head violently.
„Ok, now, Junnosuke, you have to promise me something...”Tatsuya turned around just to see that Junnosuke wasn’t there.He imeditelly panicked, and looked around the room.He sighted in relief, seing Junnosuke examinating his collection of „magic-not-to-forget” objects.All the objects that were placed there were engraved with a memory, but this time, they were all happy memories, good things that Tatsuya didn’t want to lose.He saw Junnosuke examining a small ring and then he found an iddentical one.He looked so funny when he tried to concentrate on something.
„Those are my mother’s and my father’s.”Tatsuya said from behind Junnosuke, making him jump a bit in surprise and then look at Tatsuya with an „I’m sorry.” expression on his face.
„Sorry Tatsuya, I just sometimes get very courious and then it takes over me.”Junnosuke apologized, looking down.Tatsuya saw this and started chuckling, Junnosuke was such an idiot sometimes.
„Yeah, don’t do that again, it’s rude.”Tatsuya tried to fake a serious voice, but failed quickly and the next moment, both him and Junnosuke were laughing their hearts out.
Tatsuya thought about it again, he was laughing, while evil Jin was in the house, probably trying to get in the room, kidnap Tatsuya and kill Junnosuke.He suddenly stopped laughing, just to hear a loud beam on the door.He quickly got up from the floor and grabbed a huge bag.He started to stuff some clothes in it and his „magic-not-to-forget” things, remembering he has something more to take.He opened his nightstand and took a small necklace, another memory, another story to remember that didn’t have to get in his brother’s hands.
„Come here.”Tatsuya looked at Junnosuke as he walked up to him.
„Junnosuke, I need you to close your eyes and not open them until we’re out of the house.”Tatsuya serously said, fixing his look in Junnosuke’s eyes.
„But why, Tatsuya, I don’t want you to be hurt or anyth-
BANG!
The door collapsed, burning in flames and making the two in the room jump back in surprise.
„CLOSE YOUR EYES, NOW!!!”Tatsuya yelled and grabbed Junnosuke’s hand, opened the window and jumped out.
~End of flashback~
Junnosuke felt like somebody was glaring at him, so he turned his head in Tatsuya’s direction.In that moment, his eyes expressed blankness. And then the look turned into a great fear and even greater surprise.There was no Tatsuya next to him, just somebody that looked like him.It was this THING that made him look like Tatsuya, but it couldn’t be Tatsuya, so he quickly backed off in fear.
A beautiful pair of wings grew on Tatsuya’s back, painted in a sunset’s coulurs, dark and mistical, and very fragile.They looked like a butterfly’s wings, fully shaded in pink and purple.Tatsuya was now perfect, no more cuts, neither bruises were there, and a small purple glow surrounded him.Junnosuke could just admire the view with his jaw large opened.It was like Gos had painted a magnificent picture in just mere seconds : a creature of the sunset and the dark sky behid it’s back, this was just like a fairytale his mother used to tell him.
„I am alone Junnosuke...look at you, even you got scared.This is the real me......Do you still want to be my friend?”Tatuya whispered, getting up slowly and preparing to leave, anticipating the answer that everybody who has seen his secret gave him.He knew that Junnosuke might forget all the fun they had together, all the things they did in the past few days, and just because of this untold secret, just because of IT.
Junnosuke got up too and walked closer to Tatsuya, who was looking akwardly at him.Everybody would just run away from him as fast as they could after he transformed, but not Junnosuke.Infact, Junnosuke was the only one who ever came so close to him in this form.Now, he was the one who backed off and made the wings dissapear, his cuts and bruises appearing again.
Junnosuke closed he space between him and Tatsuya with a hug, a thight hug that made Tatsuya let out a faint exclamation in surprise.He was stunned, he thought that Junnosuke would never come close to him, but yet Junnosuke was as close as possible, even hugging.
„I’m so glad to be a friend of such a special person.”Junnosuke said, a smile forming on his face.
Tatsuya still couldn’t belive it...Junnosuke’s words were the proof that love and friendship really exist, that kindness and warmness weren't just old legends.It seemed like not all the humans were chickens and betrayers.
„So you don’t think I’m a monster?Tatsuya asked slowly, his body shaking.His face felt like a wave of color just invaded it and he finally hugged back.
„A monster?”Junnosuke laughed it off, like it was it the most stupid thing to say.
”No, you’re just the opposite...You’re a fairy.”he said, breaking the hug and looking at Tatsuya's red face with a large smile.
And Tatsuya just couldn’t do anything but to smile again.
