Smoke Gets in Your Eyes
[205 words]
Sometimes Yuuta Fukui thinks that his face must be pretty hard to remember, because there are many chubby kids among young Go players (the ancient board game doesn't exactly make people exercise a lot, unless you count mental strain; most serious health specialists don't) - Kousuke Ochi-kun, for instance, but Ochi-kun wears glasses (large, round, with thick lenses; old-fashioned specs actually suit him quite nicely, in a way), so he stands out, unlike Yuuta; Shinichirou Isumi-san definitely recognizes Ochi-kun whenever they bump into each other. Yuuta, well. "Oh, sorry," Isumi-san smiles politely and this is it.

Yuuta doesn't want to envy Yoshitaka Waya-kun: Leo types are generally much more interesting and funny than Gemini; besides, Waya-kun has such big, bright eyes.

When Isumi-san comes back from China, Yuuta wonders if he should meet the older boy at the bus station (airports are too intimidating); Isumi-san certainly won't feel hurt if Yuuta greets him a bit later (because it's not like Isumi-san expects random overweight Go club guys to show up, honestly), but before this highly rational thought visits his brain, Yuuta puts the new green T-shirt on and walks out quickly.

"Hey, Fukui, long time no see!" Isumi-san waves his hand cheerfully, and Yuuta beams back.
