Tegoshi closes his eyes as more tears draw new trails down his cheeks, salty drops wetting the ground. He tries to keep his crying silently, he doesn’t want anyone to get close, he doesn’t want anyone to find out he is breakable, he doesn’t want to be known by anyone.
A pair of two feet appears in front of him and Tegoshi can’t help but freeze, looking at the worn white sneakers that were stepping over the wet marks he just left on the dirt track.
Tegoshi manages to calm his whining, sudden hiccoughs leaving his mouth, his shoulders shuddering quite frankly.
The stranger crouches also and Tegoshi refuses to look at the person, his dark strands covering his face. His puffy eyes widening and his beat starting to get frenzied.
He felt a hand pressing against his arm and he looks up.
And there’s a familiar face.
Tegoshi believes he knows that wise look and that calming smile, but he doesn’t care, he just wants to be alone.
To be alone as always.
The boy asks him why Tegoshi is crying, his voice is too low, not quite matching with his cheerful and round shaped face.
Tegoshi looks away, shaking his head, his arms hugging his knees tighter.
The boy sits on his heels, not caring about getting dirty. Smiling some more, he searches for something in the tattered backpack he’s holding, he takes out a plastic bag with two cookies inside.
The boy scratches his head and pouts, apologizing because the cookies are crushed.
Reaching for the bag, Tegoshi takes one and starts to chew it, his throat hurting from all the crying. It is hard to swallow the pieces.
The boy says his name is Masuda, but his friends call him Massu.
Tegoshi repeats his name slowly, his voice comes out hoarse, and Massu smiles.
The wind blows and Tegoshi watches as Massu’s hair dances in the air.
Massu says they are laughing, the boys who hit Tegoshi are laughing and Tegoshi bites his lips and more tears threaten to fall. Massu also says that he knows that they have been hitting Tegoshi for quite a while now, that if Tegoshi wants it he would kick their asses.
And Tegoshi chuckles softly, his skin feels stretched because of the dry tears.
He feels a palm on his cheek and a voice that tells him is okay to cry, is okay to feel bad sometimes.
So he cries again.
Tegoshi leans forward, cuddling again Massu’s chest even when he knows Massu is a stranger, they both are in the same school, but he is still a stranger.
Massu pats him in the back and circles an arm around his trembling figure.
And Tegoshi asks him to stay, to never leave him and the plea surprises him the most, he isn’t the kind who asks for comfort.
But Massu’s chest is so warm and soft, so he closes his eyes, feeling so frail.
Massu holds him firmly against his own body and Tegoshi nestles in his lap.
The wind blows again, but Tegoshi can’t feel anything but the pounding coming from Massu’s strong chest, he smiles and the last tears leave his eyes.
Tegoshi isn’t alone anymore.
A/N: I know I should be writing the second chapter of my Koyato fic but I wasn't feeling too confident with my writing so I decided to write some Massutego which always does good to my inspiration.
