We started as friend but something happened inside me.
Friends, we were close friend by now and somehow it started to change, the way I saw him, the way I felt around him. And I didn't know why, I felt the hollowness crept in me whenever he was out of my range, but I would be like an idiot if he was present in my sight. Another thing that I had no clue of it, why I always wanted to touch him? I always had a reason to do so, something like casually I’d pinch his nose, massage his shoulder, sling my arm around his neck, or accidentally swinging my hand until it landed on his side. Just because of those simple acts, it brought me to grin so wide.
So today, just like any other day, I waited patiently in front of his house, for us to go to school together. Finally he got out from his house, swinging his bag over his shoulder.
“What took you so long, Kei-chan?” I whined playfully and took my chance to poke his side.
“I didn't take long. Don’t make it sound like that.” He pouted. And I have to hold back not to kiss those lips.
“Maa.. Don’t pout in such early morning!” I pinched his nose this time. “Let’s go!” I slung my arm over his shoulder and we headed to school.
. . .
"I like someone" I choked the milk I was drinking upon that confession while we were having lunch together on the rooftop.
"Really? Who is it?" part of myself gets hurt; there was no way the one he likes was me. He shifted his gaze to me, and there I saw hesitation gleaming in his beautiful orbs. How came I never get any signal that my crush was in love with someone? I was so full of myself, and so full of my own feeling, I admitted that.
"Just forget it, I’m afraid that it'll be one-sided love." he sighed.
"No one will refuse you, believe me!" I clenched the pack of milk I was holding as I felt my heart clench as well.
“Really? Why are you so sure that no one will reject me?” There was sadness in his eyes as he said that, as if I was just mocking him by saying those words.
“I mean it-” I tried to reason out but he cut me.
“Forget it.” He said flatly not wanting to prolong the matter.
. . .
"Hello young man, the lovely guardian of Inoo Kei." A poke landed on my cheek, it was Takaki who took a seat beside me in the library. I was so sleepy and almost fell asleep when he came approaching me. Another habit I did, accompanying Kei in here though I wasn’t a bookworm type, so I’d just sit here waiting for him.
"What do you want?" I replied, still closing my eyes.
"I need your help"
"Just tell me"
"I think I like your beloved friend," abruptly I opened my eyes, staring at him.
"What do you mean?"
"I like Inoo-kun, and I think he likes me too."
"What? What makes you think that way?"
"Just ask him later"
. . .
"Kei..." hesitantly I started the talk while we were walking to his house, I still could hear it clearly what Takaki said in the library.
"I like Inoo, and I think he likes me too."
"Someone asked my help in the library. He said... He said that he likes you. Are you okay with it?" ouch my heart, please stop gripping or else I will die right away!
"Who?" he asked nervously.
"It's... It's Takaki.." and I felt the world comes crashing down when I saw him blushing over that name.
“Ta-Takaki?” Oh god! He even stuttered mentioning the name!! It was getting harder to breathe now.
“Yes. Takaki. Takaki Yuya.” I said and Inoo’s face got redder as my heart bleed worse. “So, are you okay with it? With Takaki likes you?”
“Well um..” Oh Kei! He didn't know that I was so anxious hearing his answer. I wanted to know what his reaction was, but afraid I’d be brokenhearted.
“I guess.. I guess I’m flattered.” And his answer didn't satisfy me.
“Flattered? What do you mean?”
“Yuya is- I mean Takaki-kun is handsome, kind and funny, he's great at basketball, he's-” enough! I had enough.
“Ittai!” I exclaimed and he stopped rambling about Takaki.
“Kou! What’s wrong?” He asked frantically, shaking my shoulder lightly.
"Mmmy... My heart!" I breathed out and it made him panic even more.
"What’s wrong with your heart? Tell me!"
"Something gripped on it so tight, and.. I can't breathe properly too". He reached out my uniform, undoing the two upper buttons of my shirt, trying to supply more air for me.
"I never know that you have any disease!" he commented while taking off my backpack.
"Neither do I. This happened just now, when... When I heard how much you admiring that Takaki!" there was silence filled the air, he just stared at me blankly.
"Huh?" He asked some moments later. It seemed that what I implied started to down to him. He pushed me roughly until I stumbled down on the pavement.
"What the hell, Kou?"
"Hey!! You don't have to push me!!" I whined as I tried to get up again. I winced a little and took a look at the source of the pain.
"Now, I'm really hurt!! Look! You wounded my elbow!!" I showed him my bleeding elbow.
"Aaaaa.... I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it! Let's clean the wound." He dragged me inside his house.
He sat me on the couch and hurriedly took the first aid kit and knelt in front of me. How I wished this would be happened every day, not the wounded elbow, but the moment he was in front of me, his face very close to mine and I could plant my gaze on him intently.
Oh Kei, why did I fall for you?
. . .
"Thanks buddy! You really helped me." Takaki slapped my back next day we met at school. What did he mean?
"I didn't do anything to you!" I pursed my lips, irritated by his words and acts and face. I didn't know why I just despised him, though he said nothing, it already urged me to jump on him and strangle him to death.
"But you told him yesterday that I like him right?"
"How did you know that?"
"I called him last night, we talked a lot."
"And how the hell you know his number?"
"Come on! It isn't that hard to gather some information about Inoo Kei in this school."
"What else that I don't know? You already confessed to him?" this uneasy feeling started to overtake me; I tried my best to not become so obvious in front of him.
"You got it!" he smirk, then walking away. So, Kei and Takaki... They... They're dating now?
. . .
"... Yabu-kun! YABU-KUN!!!" Oh God, now what?? The teacher glared at me for spacing out in class. And I got detention for that day, cleaning the class alone. My day couldn't get worse anymore.
The school bell rang, other students hurriedly exited the class except me. Inoo was always slow in packing his stuff, so there he was, still packing as I already grabbed the mop to clean the class.
"Kei-chan~!!" That voice, that annoying voice whose owner I wanted to strangle to death.
"Let's go home together!" And Inoo left with Takaki, leaving me alone stranded in this classroom, broken hearted.
I kicked the nearest table and soon groaned in pain. Damn this metal table!!
"DAMN YOU TAKAKI!!!"
But it was no use to blame that guy, it was my fault never told Kei about my feeling, and my fault too never wanted to know about his feeling. Till finally this time came, all I had was just a regretful. But still, I needed someone to be blamed for.
. . .
It has passed a week since that day, the moment when Kei slowly deprived of me. And today I couldn't go to school because I woke up so late this morning, and I got slight fever too.
"Yes yes! I’m coming!" I shouted irritatingly to the unwanted guess that pressed the doorbell of my house, and lazily walked there to welcome whoever it was. But my eyes opened widely when I saw him standing there in front of the door.
"Kei?"
"I heard that you're sick, why not telling me?!" he frowns,
"Err, it's just a lame excuse Kei. I’m not sick, it's just because I overslept this morning. Come in?" he stepped into my house upon my cue.
"You’re not with him?" I pretended to act as normal as I could.
"Him? Ah, Yuya?" my heart flinched a bit hearing how close him and Takaki now.
"He has something to do. And I think, it's been while I haven't been with you. It feels like, something is missing..."
My heart started to throb abnormally with what he just said, what did it mean? Did he really mean what he said? Or... He just said that randomly?
"So, what's missing?" I asked casually.
"I don't know... It's been a while since we went to school together..." Really Kei? You missed those times? Me too!!!
"...you didn't eat lunch with me either; you always went home to school ahead of me..." Wait wait wait why did it sound like it was all my fault? "...you seemed to drive further from me..."
"WHAT?? ME??" I shrieked in my mind.
"It's you, it's all started when you date with Takaki. Well, you got Takaki to go together with you to school, to accompany you lunch, to go home with you from school. So I guess..."
"But he's not always around. And nothing should change between us even though I'm dating Yuya." His voice was down a little saying that sentence.
"Well..." I tried to reply you but I cough instead.
"Hey Kou!! You okay?" He approached me and rubbed my back and he eventually palmed my forehead.
"Geez.. You have fever! Just rest already!" He scolded me and pushed me to lie down on my bed. "I’ll let you rest, I’ll just head home ne..."
"No! Please don't go!" with all my might I jumped off the bed and hugged him so tight.
"You need to rest Kou... Or you want me to cook some foods?" I felt his hand slowly going up to stroke my hair. "And really, you're so childish sometimes..." he chuckled.
"Don’t leave me again..."
"I never go anywhere" another chuckle that I miss so much from him
"I don't want to lose you; I don't want you walking out of my life..."
"Kou-chan you're getting weird, you really have to get some rest." he tried pushing me but I tightened my embrace.
"Can I say something to you Kei? Will you hate me if I say so?" silence filled the air for awhile, and I didn't need to wait him anymore, no longer I could hold this feeling.
"I like you Kei. No, I love you! I always do!" I let those words flow from my mouth while I closed my eyes, readying myself of rejection.
“Kou...” Different from my prediction, he called my name gently. I opened my eyes slowly. “Kou, I guess you're really sick. You’re saying nonsense.” I gaped at him, staring at him blankly. He took the chance to loosen my embrace and pushed me back in bed.
“I’ll make you something and get your medicine.” He got up and slowly turned around.
“No...” I muttered lowly, I grabbed his wrist and made him face me and I crashed my lips on his. He petrified on his spot; didn’t make a single move and even I couldn’t feel his breath. The only sound filled the room was the thump of my own heart. In the next second I could feel his free hand slowly went up to clutch on my shirt, and it prompted me to move further. Very carefully, I loosened my grip on his wrist and wrapped him in a hug, then bringing him down to sit on my lap as I deepened the kiss. My heart was pounding so fast and yelling in pure bliss.
Does this mean he loves me too?
As if answering my question, I felt his hand on my chest, pushing me away to break the kiss. He was out of his breath, and gave me an unreadable expression.
“I’ll just go home. Take a rest and get well soon.” He said when he got off of my lap, exiting my room. And I could only release a long and desperate sigh when I heard the door slam shut.
So, he doesn't love me...
. . .
I skipped school again today. I already felt better, but my heart was still not good. I didn't see Kei nor contacted him. So I was surprised seeing him outside my gate in the next day, waiting for me to go to school with him.
“What took you so long?” He lightly punched my arm. Somehow it felt nostalgic. I was the one who did this to him some time ago.
"Wh-why are you here?"
"Can’t I come to pick my friend?"
Friend? Oh yes, he just made my broken heart bleeding once again.
“I-I mean, you never did this before.”
“I just feel want to do it right now so please stop complaining about that!” He said curtly, a pout appear on his well-shaped lips. And the moment when we shared the kiss came like a video reel in my mind, and I had to shake my head as an attempt to switch it off.
“You’re not with him?” I asked carefully
“Not anymore. We’re over.”
My eyes widened in disbelief. Why? When? How? Did He do something bad to you? And hundred questions came to my brain but I can’t put it into some proper words.
“Actually we’re not really dating.” He started the story. “He just wanted me to make someone jealous, someone he really loves. He has loved that person for years, his best friend, a very best friend I’d say, but that person just couldn’t realize his own feeling. Not until Yuya declared that he’s dating me, so slow, isn’t he?” He began to walk along the pavement, with me fell silent beside him. Why this story seemed so familiar with...mine?
“So yesterday on the fated day, that person, Arioka Daiki from class B, finally revealed his own feeling to Yuya, after waiting for years. When Yuya asked why he finally did that, Daiki admitted he was too afraid to tell Yuya about that, afraid he would lose his precious friend just because the unworthy feeling of his. And there Yuya said that the truth of our relationship, and yes we were over, and the story is over.” Kei chuckled slightly.
“And... What about you? You... You really love him right? Why you let him do that to you, he is using you, you know that?” And he burst in laughter.
“What’s this? You’re crazy because of heartbroken?” Somehow I felt annoyed by his act.
“How can I love my own cousin?”
“C-Cousin...?”
“Yes, Yuya is my cousin. But no one knows about that, because I never told anyone. But actually you shouldn’t be that surprised. Both of us are good looking, it must be something in our genes…”
“But wait, then why did he come to me asking for help to hook you up with him? And... And why were you blushing when I talked about him and mentioned his name?! And why didn’t you tell me about this at the first place? Aren’t we... Aren’t we friends?!” I continued nagging to him, emphasizing the last line. And he could only leer while staring at me.
“Why, do you think?”
Oh my lord I couldn’t stand this any longer.
“I can’t think right now, just tell me if you want to! But if you don’t want, I won’t force you though!”
“Hey chill down, why are you infuriated by it?”
“I don’t know why, don’t force me think anymore. My brain is aching, it’s refusing to work to think to process anything right now!”
“Well, because you’re so slow just like Daiki, I think I really have to tell you all of it. Listen carefully. The first question, Yuya came to you because I asked him to. We already talked about that before somewhere. He told his problem to me, and in return I needed him to do a favor to me too. Yes, that was our deal.” He paused and looked at me, as if seeking for my respond. There, my brain started to come with an idea, but abruptly I dismissed that. It was impossible!
“Second, why I was blushing when you mentioned his name, it’s because I think that Yuya already started his mission, oh correction, our mission!” Like before, he paused and I thought what came to my mind was true? My heart began to ache, not in unpleasant way but it was like squealing in delight.
“Third, why I couldn’t tell you about this, it’s because-...” I couldn’t hold it any longer, I silenced him with a kiss, a deep and desperate kiss like I shared with him previous days. I locked him in my arms, not giving any spaces left for our bodies binding together, very closely, very intimately. Even though I didn’t hear the last words he would spill, I knew it perfectly what he was going to say.
It’s because you’re the target, Kou-chan...

“But wait, then why did he come to me asking for help to hook you up with him? And... And why were you blushing when I talked about him and mentioned his name?! And why didn’t you tell me about this at the first place? Aren’t we... Aren’t we friends?!” I continued nagging to him, emphasizing the last line. And he could only leer while staring at me.
“Why, do you think?”
Oh my lord I couldn’t stand this any longer.
“I can’t think right now, just tell me if you want to! But if you don’t want, I won’t force you though!”
“Hey chill down, why are you infuriated by it?”
“I don’t know why, don’t force me think anymore. My brain is aching, it’s refusing to work to think to process anything right now!”
“Well, because you’re so slow just like Daiki, I think I really have to tell you all of it. Listen carefully. The first question, Yuya came to you because I asked him to. We already talked about that before somewhere. He told his problem to me, and in return I needed him to do a favor to me too. Yes, that was our deal.” He paused and looked at me, as if seeking for my respond. There, my brain started to come with an idea, but abruptly I dismissed that. It was impossible!
“Second, why I was blushing when you mentioned his name, it’s because I think that Yuya already started his mission, oh correction, our mission!” Like before, he paused and I thought what came to my mind was true? My heart began to ache, not in unpleasant way but it was like squealing in delight.
“Third, why I couldn’t tell you about this, it’s because-...” I couldn’t hold it any longer, I silenced him with a kiss, a deep and desperate kiss like I shared with him previous days. I locked him in my arms, not giving any spaces left for our bodies binding together, very closely, very intimately. Even though I didn’t hear the last words he would spill, I knew it perfectly what he was going to say.
It’s because you’re the target, Kou-chan...
