"YUUYAN!!!"
Takaki didn't have time to react when someone ran into him at full force, causing both of them to fall to the grassy ground. "Chinen?" Takaki said when he realized who it was.
Chinen was sitting on Takaki's stomach. "I heard you're back," Chinen exclaimed.
"Mind getting off me so that we can go to a more comfortable place to talk?" Takaki smiled.
Chinen stood up, smiling from ear to ear. "Let's go to the lounge."
Takaki stood up. Takaki shivered when Chinen said 'lounge'. He could imagine Yabu waiting for him with this horrifying expression on his face. Takaki gulped. "Chii~ let's go somewhere else."
"My room then," said Chinen. "There's this lyric I wrote, I wanted to show it to you first," the younger teen took Takaki's hand and led him towards the dorms.
Takaki chuckled. "Hai, hai~!"
---------------------------------------------
Keito had just finished his practical lesson with Chiaki-sensei. He was on his way to his usual hangout place; the garden. He was meeting Yamada there. Ever since he went out of the piano room, Keito could feel like someone's watching him, following him. But every time he turned around, no one was there. 'I'm starting to be paranoid,' Keito shook his head as he headed to the garden located near their dorm.
In the bushes nearby, a person was hiding. "Phew, he didn't see me," Hikaru said to himself. He pokes his head out of the bushes, watching his prey fellow student. When Hikaru thought Keito was far enough, he began following Keito again.
After a few minutes walking, Keito felt someone was following him again. But when he turned around...
"There's no one there," Keito said to himself. He continued walking, mumbling things about paranoia.
Meanwhile, Hikaru was hiding behind a tree. "He almost saw me...again!" he said to himself silently. Hikaru's eyes widened after he went out of his hiding place. In front of him, Keito was standing, with his hands crossed.
"Why are you following me?"
"I'm not following you," Hikaru lied.
"Then you were stalking me?" Keito raised an eyebrow.
"No, I wasn't!" Hikaru protested. Okay, maybe he did, but he sure wouldn't tell Keito that.
"U-huh," Keito said, not believing what Hikaru had said. "Do not follow me," he said as he continued walking. Although that was said, Hikaru kept following Keito. Keito annoyedly turned facing Hikaru. "Don't you understand simple English? I told you NOT to follow me!" Keito hadn't anticipated that Hikaru's reply would be more to the physical approach.
They were standing close to one of the school's building. Hikaru walked closer towards Keito, causing the younger teen to move backwards. After Hikru closed the distance between them, leaving only an inch of space between them, he pinned Keito's hands above Keito's head. Keito tried to strggle his way out, but apparently Hikaru is a lot stronger than he is.
"What are you doing? Let me go!"
"Shhh~" Hikaru pressed his nose against Keito's neck, taking in Keito's fragrance.
Keito felt his goosebumps creeping up. "W-Wha-?" a blush crept on his face, his heart beating fast.
"Will you go out with me?" Hikaru whispered in Keito's ear. He pressed his lips softly against Keito's lips. Keito's es widened. He wanted to push Hikaru away, but his mind seems like it's malfunctioning.
After a few seconds, Keito responded to Hikaru as the older guy seeked entry into his mouth. Suddenly...
"Why are you harrassing my cousin?"
Keito's eyes widened when he heard Yamada's voice. Immediately, he pushed Hikaru away. "Stay away from me, baka!" In a blink of an eye, he went next to Yamada, and dragged his cousin away from the scene. "Iku, Ryo-chan." Even though he wasn't facing Yamada, but he could still feel the smirk on Yamada's face. He know he'll get a lot of teasings later.
"See you later, my English boy!" Hikaru yelled out.
Keito groaned, his face red of embarrassment. Luckily, there was no one at that part of the campus.
-------------------------------------------------
"Spit it," Keito muttered as they sat at the man-made lake in the garden. Just as immediately, Keito heard Yamada's laughter. 'Great,' he thought, throwing some stones into the lake.
"You were stunned by Yaotome!"
"I- I was not!" Keito's face flushed red.
"Why didn't you push him away earlier than?" Yamada smirked. "And you did respond to him."
"I-I..."he was lost of words. Suddenly, he realized something. He looked at Yamada. "How long have you been watching?"
"Pretty much the whole kissing scene."
Keito pouted. "You're mean."
"It seems like Yaotome has feelings for you," Yamada said all of a sudden.
"You think?" Both cousins began looking at the calm water again. "You think we could trust them?"
"Saa..." Yamada trailed off, the incident in the cabin played in his mind again.
------------------------------------------------
"Morimoto kaa-san, Morimoto otou-san, I've made up my mind," Yuto suddenly said.
A few minutes before
"Ittekimasu!"
Ryutaro's voice was heard, then came Mr. and Mrs. Ryutaro's reply, and the door opened and closed. Now that he was sure Ryutaro has gone to school, Yuto let out his breath. 'There's no turning back now.'
Present
He went to the kitchen. Both Mr. and Mrs. Morimoto were there, preparing things before opening the ramen shop.
"Morimoto kaa-san, Morimoto otou-san, I've made up my mind," Yuto suddenly said.
Mrs. Morimoto looked up. "About what, Yuto-kun?" Mrs. Morimoto smiled. "Could it be that...you finally agree on continuing your studies?"
Yuto shook his head slowly. "Gomen ne, Morimoto okaa-san but iie," he said.
"Oh," Mrs. Morimoto said, hiding the disappointment in her voice.
Mr. Morimoto stopped what he was doing and went to where Yuto and his wife were. He could feel that this is one serious discussion.
"What is it, Yuto?" asked Mr. Morimoto, taking a seat at the kitchen table.
Yuto let out his breath. "I'm want to go to Tokyo."
Mr. and Mrs. Morimoto looked at Yuto, surprised. "N-Nani?"
"I'm going to Tokyo, and...and... even if you won't allow me, I will still go." He looked away, avoiding his foster parents' gaze. "This is something I have to do."
Silence came upon the Morimoto's kitchen. A few minutes later, Mr. Morimoto spoke up. "Go." Yuto looked at Mr. Morimoto, expecting an angry face, instead, he received a smile.
Mrs. Morimoto let out her breath. "I guess this will happen sooner or later, ne?" she looked at Yuto with a teary smile.
"Morimoto kaa-san," Yuto said.
"I still remember two years ago, when you first came to us. You said you weren't be staying long, that you have something to do. There's someone you need to look for." Yuto looked at Mrs. Morimoto with a surprised expression. "It was that kid from that night, wasn't it?" Yuto slowly nodded his head.
"I was too comfortable staying here, that I forgot my promise of going after him," Yuto said. "But once he doesn't need me anymore, I'll return here, if you'll still accept me, Morimoto kaa-san, Morimoto otou-san."
Mrs. Morimoto went towards Yuto and took him in her embrace. "Of course you can return anytime you want," she said. "This is your home and will always be your home."
"Arigatou, Morimoto okaa-san."
Mrs. Morimoto chuckled. "How many times do I have to tell you to just call me 'okaa-san'?"
"Hai, okaa-san." Mr. Morimoto smiled looking at his family.
-----------------------------------------------
"I still think this is not a good idea," said Takaki. After looking at his kouhai's lyric, Chinen had asked for Takaki to help him with a dance step.
Chinen pouted. "Please, Yuuyan?"
Takaki sighed. He always had a soft spot for Chinen. "Okay, okay," he said. As they were dancing, Chinen tripped, causing him to fall on top of Takaki, again.
"Gomenasai, Yuuyan!" Chinen apologized.
"Iie, it's alright."
And that was the scene that met Yamada when he arrived to the room he shared with Chinen.
"Yama-chan?" Chinen said.
Takaki's eyes widened when he heard Chinen said Yamada's name. He turned to look at Yamada, but as usual, no expression could be found. "T-This is not what you think."
"And what do you think I think, Takaki-kun?" he retorted.
"Yuuyan's right, he was just heling me with my dance steps, so don't be angry."
"Who said I'm angry?" Yamada asked, exiting the room again. 'Why am I so worked up about this anyway?' Yamada thought, walking out the dormitory building.
Back with Takaki and Chinen
Takaki and Chinen was stunned that Yamada just went out like that.
Still in that position, Chinen said, "So, you like him, huh?"
"Un," Takaki replied, looking at the door.
---------------------------------------------
That night, Mr. and Mrs. Morimoto let Yuto break the news to Ryutaro and Shintaro. 12 year-old Shintaro looked at Yuto with teary eyes.
"Yuto nii-chan," he said, sniffling. "Please don't go."
Yuto hugged his foster brother. "I'm sorry, Shin-chan, but this is something I needed to do."
Ryutaro was silent all night. Even when Yuto greeted him goodnight, he didn't reply.
----------------------------------------------
Yuto went to the room Ryutaro shared with Shintaro. Shintaro was fast asleep, but Ryutaro was nowhere to be found. Then, he looked at the opened balcony.
"Hey," Yuto said, taking a seat beside Ryutaro.
Ryutaro just acknowledge Yuto's presence by nodding his head. Then, he continued looking at the sky.
"I'm more worried if you give me the silent treatment, you know?"
"I know...although you didn't tell Shintaro and I the reason, but I know, it was because of Yamada Ryosuke, wasn't it?" he looked at Yuto.
Yuto paused, before he finally answered, "Yes."
He turned back his gaze to the sky. "At least, tell me, what's your relationship with him."
Yuto looked down. "Gomen, Ryutaro," he said, "I can't."
"Sou ka," Ryutaro said. He stood up. "Don't forget to close the door when you enter the house."
------------------------------------------------
After weeks passed, finally it was time for the Winter Festival. That night, everyone had fun. There was an orchestra performance, also a special performance, a violin and piano duet, performed by Inoo and Shoon.
When the performance was almost over, Yamada decided to take a walk at the garden. Yamada love walking at night, especially at the garden.
"Yama-chan, wait," said Takaki. Surprisingly, Yamada did stop. "So, taking a walk?"
Yamada looked at Takaki with a raised eyebrow. "What does it look like I'm doing?"
"Yeah, baka me," Takaki whispered to himself. "So, winter holiday is coming soon."
"Un."
Takaki sighed. 'Making a conversatin is harder than I thought.' "So, do you have any plans for the holiday?"
"No."
"Are you going home?"
"You do realize that this is my home while I'm staying in Japan," Yamada said, looking at Takaki with a raised eyebrow. Takaki looked at Yamada, confused. Yamada sighed. "You do realize I transferred from London."
"Oh yeah," said Takaki. As they continued walking, it wassilent again. "Ne, Yama-chan..."
"Hnn?"
"Do you want to spend the winter holiday with me?"
Yamada stopped walking. He looked at Takaki. Realizing what he said, Takaki added in, "I mean, uh...Chinen, Yabu, Daiki, and the others will also be there."
"I'll think about it," Yamada said, before leaving the stunned Takaki behind.
After getting over it, Takaki exclaimed, "Ehhhhh????!!!" He went after Yamada. "So, does that mean you'll come?"
