Summary: Yukihiro struggles in accepting himself as he struggles to fight his loneliness.
Chapter 1: ~ Silence…. That smaller guy eyes widen in surprise that he slowly letting yukihiro’s hand go. Yukihiro, who have just realize that he was using his hand to ‘speak’ to a well speaking guy; finally halt half way and drop his hands at his side. “You’re mute?”~
Chapter 2
“You’re mute?” Its’ sounded more like a realization than a question, then the guy quickly put his hand onto his mouth as if he realize something else... “You must have been deaf too” Is the line that guy meant to mutter out but then he swallowed it hard back down to his throat. Yukihiro that was stood there blankly, staring at that guy reaction for a split second before he quickly turns around and picked up his bag; he meant to pick up his bento to throw it away and leave this place as fast as he could but he was interrupted by another line that comes out from that guy’s mouth.
“You can’t be mute?” As if he wasn’t just saw yukihiro was using sign language to talk to him, he had to ask such a question.
Yukihiro halt and once again his hand only reach half way to that bento, his hand trembles after hearing the uttered question. He jerked himself and broke into thousands steps as fast he might can, without even looking back; leaving the bento and that guy stood in confusion all by himself there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yukihiro runs for miles before he stopped and turns to his right, heading further into a small alley. The alley leading him to a place that was away from the busy street packed with people and there’s stood only one huge old tree shading anything that was underneath it from piercing sunlight. Yukihiro took a rest underneath the comforting tree’s shades and soon unwillingly letting out the tears that he has been holding back.
Why? Why everyone must looks at me like that… its’ really hurting… don’t they realize that… why must they take such a big deals over it… so what?! I’m mute… if I could scream it out loud; I would have told you that I’m mute… but… I was mute… I couldn’t even pronounced my own name… how can I told you that I’m mute? Why everyone hate me so much… is it because I’m mute… is it why you have to hit me that hard? Laugh at me? Make fun of me? Said bad things about me? Looks at me indignantly? Hurting me like this? What’s wrong with me being mute? I didn’t wish to be one…
Yukihiro’s tears seems like unstoppable as he further thought about his sheer fate and disappointment to how people in his surrounding have been reacts to him. He knew that not all people was being rather unreasonably irritable to him as what he sees it, but from that ‘not all people’ would have only meant his family, his parents and his little sister; and maybe with exception of his father’s best friend in which now, was his boss. Yukihiro glances at his watch and quickly got up; wipe away his tears and trying to looks apparently decent.
I never had been crying this much since a long time ago; ever since that incident. In fact, I never have been crying ever since.
If only yukihiro knew there’s someone watching him crying that whole time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yukihiro continued his walk to work, trying to act like nothing had happen but its’ was visible enough even through a glance to his face. He couldn’t hide it, he couldn’t smile and he couldn’t even push his hurting pain away from his head. As he arrived at the record store, the owner greeted him like usual but only to be replied by yukihiro’s small, uncheerful nods before straight away to his work place. Soon during lunch time; yukihiro still sat between the shelves, examining through a few new arrive CDs. Yukihiro extreme concentration to his only interest in the whole world, have left him preoccupied without even aware the presence of the other by his side. The old guy lightly touches yukihiro’s shoulder to gain his attention.
“Let’s takes a break, its lunch time” Yukihiro shook his head, give a smile that somehow looks rather depressing.
“You don’t feel hungry?” Yukihiro once again shook his head, he really didn’t feel that much hunger as much as he felt tired and mixed feeling of pain and anger.
“I didn’t see you bring anything to work today… you usually brought at least a small lunch box with you or maybe sandwiches… you really planned not to eat lunch today I guess?” Yukihiro shook his head, than feel a little confused by the question asked before he nods his head.
“Why is that?” Yukihiro shrugged his shoulder in which he meant to tell that he don’t know how to answer that question.
“So you just ‘feel’ like it… I meant not to eat” Yukihiro would understand that the old guy misinterprets his prior answer as he don’t know why rather than what he really trying to tell; so yukihiro decide that it would’ve be better that he just nods to it.
“Aren’t you feels hungry?” Yukihiro shook his head, felt like he had answer that question before.
“Are you sure?” Yukihiro quickly nods. The old guy finally let out a sigh.
“Fine then… I’m going out, so take good care of the shop for me… I let the sign close on the door but I’ll not lock it since you’re not going anywhere… if you ever need anything, just text message me okay?” Yukihiro nods in reply.
Soon yukihiro was left alone in that record store; right at that moment his heart thudding a two painful beats when he saw that store was soulless apart from his own still soul there. He clenches his hand tightly on his left chest.
Its’ almost resembles you… no matter how you looked at it… this space… its’ still… empty… despite how you filled it… its empty…. Its’ resemble you so much… you’re empty… empty and… lonely… you’re lonely…
Yukihiro looks down at his tight clench of his hand over his chest, in which where his heart should be; as if he was to talking to his own heart.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yukihiro had puts all the new arrival CDs onto the shelves accordingly and had puts away the empty boxes when the old guy come back to his store; impressed by seriousness of yukihiro on his work even during lunch break.
“I brought you sushi… let’s eat it together” By now yukihiro know that he couldn’t say no to that old guy offers after going through such a trouble to buy him something. Yukihiro nods and timidly followed the old guy.
The sushi was set on a table followed by two glasses, both of them sat and taking their lunches together. The situation was tediously quiet; the old guy’s sight was set upon yukihiro who is lifelessly munching down the sushi by each small bite at a time, giving that old guy something to be annoyed to at the moment. He looks around, trying to avoid from forcing that young kid to be more dejected than he already was; but it was clear to him that he couldn’t just let himself not knowing what happen.
“Yukihiro…” Startling yukihiro a little from his daze, he looks up from his gaze to his plate and curiously watching the old guy.
“Is there… something wrong?” He hesitantly asks, yukihiro shook his head and reluctantly smile back to the old guy.
“I know there’s something happen to you; I can see it through your face. If there something or… someone that bothered you, you can always tell me about it… and we can find a solution together… you can told me anything…you know that right?” There is no doubt that; that old guy always thought of yukihiro as his owns son and surely he cares about yukihiro ever since yukihiro start working with him. But there’s also no doubt to the fact that he couldn’t pass through the communication barrier between him and yukihiro, especially when yukihiro sometime avoiding to communicate. And those certain ‘sometime’ are like what happen now when yukihiro just locking himself in his silence side, letting out the best smile he momentarily could. A moments pass in silence.
“After you finish eating can you helps me clean up the storage room, it’s a bit messy there” The old guy know better that there’s no way he could make yukihiro tell him what happen when he decided he don’t want to, yukihiro could be a real stubborn. Yukihiro nods; after he finished the food on his plate, he didn’t wait and quickly get back to his work.The day went by without yukihiro noticing, he doesn’t even notice when his anger and pain subside. The store closes and yukihiro falls into another routine in which he would walks through the street that was once packed with people in the morning and now having less crowds on it; walking pass by some of the shops that are still open, straight away to the direction of the train station. While waiting for the train yukihiro’s mind swirling on what happen during lunch time; he understand that the old guy only meant to help and that guy really care about him, but yukihiro know that it will be really difficult to communicate about it to that guy. Yukihiro doesn’t want to troubles that guy just for something that simple; by the way, he knew that no matter how was it, its’ all because of his disability and there’s nothing he could do about it. As the train arrive, yukihiro let out a sigh and decided to let the whole thing go; letting a bright smile forms in his tired face.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning yukihiro wakes up following the same routines to work. He walks to the train station and waited for the train to arrive patiently; after arriving to the destination, yukihiro will walks through the crowds and stop by the huge screen, just like every other day. He will then walks to a familiar route heading to the record store; he walks pass the small alley without even looking to that side. Yukihiro startled a little when he felt a hand on his shoulder, he turns to look at the owner of the hand and to his surprise it was the same guy he bumps into yesterday.
“Sorry if I bother you” That guy quickly apologies when he saw yukihiro was a little surprise by his gesture. Yukihiro almost tempted to turn around and ignore that guy, thinking about what happen yesterday was enough for him to make a good excuse to do so; but then he didn’t, he wasn’t that cruel to just lefts.
“I’m sorry for what happen yesterday, I really didn’t mean… to say… whatever I’ve said…” Yukihiro raised his hand, almost like he meant to ‘say’ something; but he stop, he realize that this guy wouldn’t understand him.
No one understand me… what was I thinking… why he talks to me… why can he just leave me… leave me alone!
Yukihiro nods and turn away from that guy. Yukihiro know he acting a little rude but there’s nothing he could do about it because he also know there’s nothing good going to happen if he stay foot; but that guy doesn’t give up instead quickly followed yukihiro until he was able to walks by yukihiro’s side.
“Hey wait up… I know you can hear me… though I not sure… but… please wait up!” Yukihiro finally stop when that guy was blocking his way by standing in front of him.
“Please… its’ doesn’t feel right until I know you’re okay… I understand if you couldn’t forgive me… but I just… want… want to know that you’re fine… that’s all” This time yukihiro look at that guy eyes and nods to him with a smile on his lips.
“Good to know… I’m relief… by the way… my name Takarai Hideto… but you can called me hyde instead… what yours?” Yukihiro quite confused with this guy, the fact that he is asking a mute guy to tell him his name is just amusing; but while yukihiro was thinking how to respond to the question, the guy in front of him; said to be hyde, hands him a small, pocket-size notebook and a ball pen together with it. Yukihiro can’t help but to give a dumbfounded looks to hyde.
“Used this… since you… couldn’t talk… at least you can write to it me” Hyde smile somehow make yukihiro blush.
“Awaji Yukihiro” was what yukihiro wrote on that given notebook before handed it back to hyde, but hyde didn’t take notebook after reading it.
“Oh… do you mind if I called you yuki instead?” Yukihiro shook his head and smile; he never had someone asked him his name, much to even decides what he supposed to be called.
“So yuki… I’m really sorry for what happen yesterday… I know you’re upset… and I should’ve apologies earlier” Hyde explains.
“Its’ okay, you don’t have to worry about it” Yukihiro wasn’t used to the idea of writing that he kept replying with his hand before he realize he could use the notebook.
“I’m sorry but I’ve to go to work, its’ nice to meet you anyway, thank you” Yukihiro handed the notebook once again to the other man, but hyde shook his head.
“No… I want you to keep it… in case there someone you met and you have difficulty to tell them anything, you can always use it… that way, you wouldn’t be misunderstood again” Hyde smiles. Yukihiro stand there almost like a doll mesmerize by hyde’s sweet smile.
“Well… you better go now or you will be late” Yukihiro quickly shove the two items in his hand into his bag and bowed down to hyde before walks away.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Teenagers nowadays are very… interesting… and complicated being… they’re confusing me… difficult to understand… one minute they could be filled with angst… the next they all cheered up… such a labile moods they have… which confusing me” The old guy sighs, mumbling to himself while watching yukihiro doing his works with such a bright smile on his face.
“He having that smile since this morning… what’s wrong with that kid anyway… he never smile that wide before” His thought was interrupted by sound of the bells when the door is opened by someone.
“Ah welcome in!” He greeted the customer as he always did.
“Excuse me… but did yuki works here?” Hyde asked as he draws nearer to the old guy who was at the counter smiling at him.
“Yuki?!” The old guy shot his eyebrows, shocked by the name mention.
“Oh… hm… I meant Awaji Yukihiro… is he working here?” The old guy understood that the other kid was referring to yukihiro earlier, he was just didn’t expects by how he was using ‘yuki’ instead.
“Yes… he was just right there…” Just as they turn to the direction of where yukihiro was before, he wasn’t there together with the boxes. They both look around but yukihiro wasn’t in sight.
“He probably at the back… so is there something I can help you? May I know who are you and why are you looking for him?” The old guy was curious, never once there’s someone came to the record store just asking for yukihiro.
“Oh… I’m a friend of him… I came to give him something…” Hyde still looks around until he found yukihiro was standing at one of the door in the store, surprised to see hyde. Hyde waves to yukihiro.
Yukihiro come toward hyde’s pointed direction; in which leads them to the outside of the store. Yukihiro quickly pulled out the notebook and ball pen that hyde given to him earlier from the front pocket of his jeans.
“Why are you here?” Yukihiro asked.
“You carried those things in your pocket, good! Oh yea… hm… I want to give you this, I forgot to give it to you just now” Hyde handed a paper bag.
“What is this?” Yukihiro almost peeked the contained of the bag but hyde quickly stopped him from doing so.
“It’s for you… I want to replace the one that I ruined the other day” Yukihiro start to realize that every time hyde smile he will feel a little warmness.
“How you know I’m working here?” As far as he could remember he only told his new friend his name.
“Well I chased you down yesterday… and then I followed you to this shop, I figured you might have working here or something since I’ve waited for you out here but you never come out…” There’s something else that hyde know by following yukihiro yesterday, but hyde hesitate to tell. Yukihiro looks paled all in a sudden.
“Did you saw me…” Yukihiro wavered to continue his sentence; but somehow hyde understand what he meant to write, so hyde nods. Yukihiro’s faced turn bright red, he quickly averted his eyes away, he never thought that there will be someone watching him yesterday.
“I meant to say sorry about that too. For following you and watching you… and I’m sorry for what I’ve done to you that make you…” Hyde refused to say the word ‘cry’. Yukihiro don’t know what to write to hyde since he wasn’t the main reason why he was crying yesterday.
“It’s okay, I’m fine anyway. I got to get back to work now. Thank you for the gift” Yukihiro bows.
“Well… it’s nothing… okay… work safely…” Hyde a little disappointed, he know what he new-found friend’s answer won’t settled the feeling he has since he saw that guy cries yesterday. Yukihiro smile and gesturing goodbye to hyde before he turn around heading to the door.“Ah! That wasn’t a gift, it’s your lunch… I’m replacing the one from yesterday” Hyde snapped from his gaze and quickly told yukihiro about the thing that he called gift, yukihiro smile broadly and bow once again to hyde.
TO BE CONTINUED… Chapter 3
A/N: I'm sorry that I didn't put a link to the first chapter since if I put it the url will comeout, I couldn't rename the url because I don't know how to~ and I hate to it as url rather than a given title... I'm starting to realize as the more I wrote and the longer the story goes, the harder it get to keep the grammer mistake at minimal (and I wasn't any good at it to start with) and to worsen it, I get stuck with my limited vocabulary... I try my best not repeat the same word but its really difficult when the story start grow. Anyway, this chapter I want to show yukkie's struggle in communication and how he avoiding it; with a hint of hyde mindset about disable people like yukkie before and after meeting yukkie and hyde unique solution unconsciously helping yukkie... I talked too much aren't I?

Yukihiro that was stood there blankly, staring at that guy reaction for a split second before he quickly turns around and picked up his bag; he meant to pick up his bento to throw it away and leave this place as fast as he could but he was interrupted by another line that comes out from that guy’s mouth.
“You can’t be mute?” As if he wasn’t just saw yukihiro was using sign language to talk to him, he had to ask such a question.
Yukihiro halt and once again his hand only reach half way to that bento, his hand trembles after hearing the uttered question. He jerked himself and broke into thousands steps as fast he might can, without even looking back; leaving the bento and that guy stood in confusion all by himself there.

“Teenagers nowadays are very… interesting… and complicated being… they’re confusing me… difficult to understand… one minute they could be filled with angst… the next they all cheered up… such a labile moods they have… which confusing me” The old guy sighs, mumbling to himself while watching yukihiro doing his works with such a bright smile on his face.

“Yuki?!” The old guy shot his eyebrows, shocked by the name mention.

“It’s for you… I want to replace the one that I ruined the other day” Yukihiro start to realize that every time hyde smile he will feel a little warmness.
“How you know I’m working here?” As far as he could remember he only told his new friend his name.
“Well I chased you down yesterday… and then I followed you to this shop, I figured you might have working here or something since I’ve waited for you out here but you never come out…” There’s something else that hyde know by following yukihiro yesterday, but hyde hesitate to tell. Yukihiro looks paled all in a sudden.
“Did you saw me…” Yukihiro wavered to continue his sentence; but somehow hyde understand what he meant to write, so hyde nods. Yukihiro’s faced turn bright red, he quickly averted his eyes away, he never thought that there will be someone watching him yesterday.
“I meant to say sorry about that too. For following you and watching you… and I’m sorry for what I’ve done to you that make you…” Hyde refused to say the word ‘cry’. Yukihiro don’t know what to write to hyde since he wasn’t the main reason why he was crying yesterday.
“It’s okay, I’m fine anyway. I got to get back to work now. Thank you for the gift” Yukihiro bows.
“Well… it’s nothing… okay… work safely…” Hyde a little disappointed, he know what he new-found friend’s answer won’t settled the feeling he has since he saw that guy cries yesterday. Yukihiro smile and gesturing goodbye to hyde before he turn around heading to the door.“Ah! That wasn’t a gift, it’s your lunch… I’m replacing the one from yesterday” Hyde snapped from his gaze and quickly told yukihiro about the thing that he called gift, yukihiro smile broadly and bow once again to hyde.
TO BE CONTINUED… Chapter 3
A/N: I'm sorry that I didn't put a link to the first chapter since if I put it the url will comeout, I couldn't rename the url because I don't know how to~ and I hate to it as url rather than a given title... I'm starting to realize as the more I wrote and the longer the story goes, the harder it get to keep the grammer mistake at minimal (and I wasn't any good at it to start with) and to worsen it, I get stuck with my limited vocabulary... I try my best not repeat the same word but its really difficult when the story start grow. Anyway, this chapter I want to show yukkie's struggle in communication and how he avoiding it; with a hint of hyde mindset about disable people like yukkie before and after meeting yukkie and hyde unique solution unconsciously helping yukkie... I talked too much aren't I?
