-Chapter 5-
It’s been a while since me and Inoo-chan start hanging out together. Not everyday though, because I still have classes that I have to attend. And it seems like Inoo-chan’s not attending any school or university, because everytime I ask him to go out, he almost always say yes to me. And he always at home, doing much things. He can paint, he can play piano, he can bake cakes, and sometimes I see him writing for his novels. He can do many things! Very talented, isn’t he?
About the days we spent… it was so much fun! We go to various places, do fun things together, and Hikaru also joins us too. We spent days together, and Inoo-chan and Hikaru’s friendship had grown into something that… could make me jealous. It’s funny though, why would I feel jealous toward them anyway?
From the days we spent together, I know for sure that Inoo-chan has a really weak body, because he feels tired quickly, and he caught fever easily. So when the three of us hanging out together and me and Hikaru noticed Inoo’chan’s fatigue, we will rest a bit and continue our fun again when Inoo-chan had regain his spirit.
About the incident in the pond… He decided not to talk about it. Everytime I ask about it, he always change the topic. I really wonder what was really going on with him back in the pond. He may looked so open to me, but still, I know that there’s something he hides from me, he doesn’t want to open up to me, yet. But will he open up to me later? I hope he will.
And about our relationship… we’re not dating, yet. Sometimes I feel so confident, but sometimes not. I don’t know what he felt towards me. He’s so kind to everyone, I can’t see any different with him treating me, and treating the other, because it really is the same. So I don’t know if there’s any special feeling towards me. Well we hang out together, and other people may think that we’re dating. But it’s not that simple. Inoo-chan is not that simple. He sometimes so easy to read, but sometimes I don’t know what’s in his mind.
But I want to confess to him, I really do. I want him to know my love for him. I want to have him in my arms, I want to have him in my life. I love him………. So much.
But stil….
-o-
Today I don’t have any plan to hang out with Inoo-chan, so I play basketball with Hikaru like we usually do. We played excitedly and full of energy, until we drained all of it. Now we’re sitting on the field, exhausted from our play.
“Hika, do you think I should confess to Inoo-chan?” I opened the topic.
“What? You haven’t?” Hikaru took the bottle from my lap and drink from it.
“Mm.. I’m a bit afraid..” I admitted. I know I looked so coward, but yeah, I’ve been afraid. And I only show this coward side of me only to my bestfriend, eventhough he always responded my cowardness with a very loud laugh.
“Why?” He asked me. Not a usual respond, eh? I don’t know whether I should relieved or annoyed.
“What do you think about us?” I look deep in his eyes, looking for answer. Hikaru blink and gulped responding my question.
“Well… umm… You two look good together.” But I heard an unsure tone in his voice, and he tried to escape from my glances.
“And then..?” Hikaru took another gulp.
“You two are perfect for each other..” He said as he looking down.
“Hee? Really?” I asked him again, because I’m not convinced with his answers.
But instead of answering me, he looked up to the sky.
“What do you think Inoo will answer?” I asked him again.
“From the way he steal glances at you, I know that he loves you too” He answered me, still looking up to the sky.
“Eh?”
“He does steal glances at you Kou” Now he facing me, reassuring me.
“I’ve never know about it”
“That’s why I called it stealing glances, baka!” He rolled his eyes.
“Oh umm” Well, that was unexpected. Inoo-chan steal glances at me!
“I know he loves you too….” He looked up again to the sky, but his voice is full of certainty, and sincerity.
I only smiled at the new hope I got. Thanks to Hikaru for telling me this, now I’m a bit more confident to confess to Inoo-chan.
“Don’t make him wait any longer, Kota.” Hikaru said again.
“Hmmm” I nodded.
“You may show your love from your action, but it’s not enough……
“I know you’re the type that do actions more than words, but sometimes it’s not enough, Kota. You need to tell that you love him. Confess to him, tell him the love words, make it official, so he won’t wait too long not knowing that you loved him too. He may now being insecure and being afraid, wondering about your feeling towards him too….
“We really need to confess to the person we loved….. before it’s too late… before someone snatch the one we loved from our hands….” He trailed off. Such a long speech he gave me, ne. Now Hikaru looked so sad, his expression is blank and hurt, and I can’t believe that I see him like that.
“You have to be brave Kou, tell him, I know he love you too” He faced me again with his goofy smiles, the sad expression had completely gone.
“Hika, you’re really the best.” I give him a brotherly hug.
“And speaking of which, you said that an angel like Inoo-chan wouldn’t want to date a bamboo like me!” I tried to turn the atmosphere more cheerful.
“Did I?” Hikaru twitched his head and trying to recall some memory.
I laughed “Yeah you did!”
“Ahh yes, yes! I said that after you tell me about Inoo-chan for the first time!” Hikaru laughed along with me.
“I’ll treat you tomorrow after he accepted me, ‘kay!”
“You’re too confident, bamboo! I regret encouraging you!!”
-o-
“Kou-chan, where are you taking me?”
“Ssssstttt we’re almost there”
I’m taking Inoo-chan to our precious place, the pond behind his house, and of course, he doesn’t know where I brought him. I obliged Kei-chan to wear the blindfolded so he wouldn’t know where I’m taking him.
“Mou.. I’m tired already, Kou-chan”
“We’re really almost there, Kei-chan, just a bit more, okay” He usually won’t be tired if we walk to the pond, but today, to make it not too obvious, I put the blindfolded on him right outside his house and walk around his house before then bringing him to our precious pond. I don’t know why I named it as ‘our’ pond, but I like how it sounds.
“Okay, here we are!” Kei-chan immediately aim his hand toward the blindfolded and about to take it off when suddenly I stop him. “Oops, not yet Kei-chan.” And he responded me with a pout. I chuckle.
“Stand right here, ‘kay. Count to 50 and then you are allowed to take the blindfolded off your eyes.” I winked to him, eventhough he won’t see it.
“You’d better surprise me with something great, because you’ve made me through something like this, Yabu Kota!” I laughed seeing Kei like that.
“1…
“2….
“3…………………….”
I heard him counting until 10 when I was busy preparing something for the surprise. After 10, he stay silent, maybe he count the rest in his mind. It was already halfway done before I went to pick Kei-chan’s up, so now I just need to fix and polish the surprise, which won’t take a long time.
Suddenly I heard Kei-chan chuckles.
I was already done preparing so I approach him.
“What are you chuckling about?”
He was a bit surprised hearing my voice so clear, that I was very close with him.
“Hmm? It’s a secret” He grinned the playful grin and he put his finger on his lips.
Teasing me huh? “Have you done counting?”
“Nope, still around 30” Hmm, he counts so slow ne.. I’ve done preparing yet he’s still counting.
“Please count faster.”
“Someone’s being impatient here~” He teases me, again.
He’s blindfolded but he still had guts to tease me. He doesn’t know what I could do to him, does he..?
Then he showed his smile to me after the tease, the beautiful one. His pursed lips, really tempt me to… kiss him.
And then I lost my mind.
I lean closer to his lips, I’ll take this chance. I’m so sorry Kei-chan, it’s your fault to be this tempting in front of this beast.
But suddenly... “Yup! 50!”
I jumped. I abruptly bring myself away from him, afraid that he know what I was about to do. And I am back to my sense. What the hell did I do?! Taking advantages on him? I’m sorry Kei-chan. I apologized to him in my mind.
“Hmmm, Kou? Can I take it off now?”
“Wait, wait. Let me take it off for you.” I took the initiative to take the blindfolded off of him just to take some time for me to calm down after the almost-a-kiss incident. I took a deep breath, and exhale. Yossshhh. I reached the blindfold and slowly take it off from his eyes.
Kei slowly opens his eyes and welcomed by the beauty of our pond. But today, something had decorated the pond so it looks more beautiful.
I’ve brought so much flower from the florist (and she gave me discount because I told her the flower were for Kei) and I placed the flowers on plates so it will float on the water. On the side of the pond, I’ve placed a dining table, along with the chairs, and I’ve put flower bouquet on the center of the table, surrounded by my, and Kei’s favorite food.
Kei was deep in awe, he looked so surprised to the beautiful scenery in front of him. He looked up to me and smile the thank-you smile. I reply him with a you’re-welcome smile and took his hand and bring him to the dining table and make him sit there on the chair.
“Wait me here, okay”
Without waiting for his respond, I run to the closest tree where I’ve hidden my guitar. I take my guitar and showed up again to Kei-chan. I play the guitar and sing a song for Kei-chan as I walk closer to him on the side of the pond. I stopped for a while, and take a seat across him and continue playing.
At first he only looked at me with the surprised expression, but then he sing along with me.
After the song ended, he gave me applauses and chuckles along.
“It’s wonderful! You’ve prepared all of it.” He chuckles excitedly.
“Yeah, what do you think?”
He looked around the pond once again, admiring the beautiful pond with flowers floating.
“It’s…. cool” he said without leaving his gaze on the pond.
“Just.. cool?” I said disappointedly.
He’s back, facing me, he answered me with his smile, with so much satisfaction showed in his smile.
I can’t help but to smile too.
“What about singing along with me again?”
“Hmmm, I’d like too, Kou-chan. But I’m afraid the food will turned cold already” He said it with pouting cutely.
“Don’t make it as an alibi, just admit it that you’re hungry already”
“Ahahaha you know me that much! And also… the food seems so delicious”
“Food above all, that’s so you! Me playing guitar romantically is nothing compared to these food!”
“No, no, no. I love seeing you playing guitar!” His words make me stunned and… blushing. He loved.. (seeing) me.
He realized his words and and the effect on me, he also blushed after seeing my face grow red.
He looked away, hiding his blush. “But.. I… love… food more.”
We stay silent for a while, waiting the red tint disappear from our face.
After a while, and after the red tint leave my face, I tried to broke the silence “As usual, a glutton” and then chuckle and he responded me with chuckle, too.
“Okay let’s eat!”
“Itadakimasu!” He said it cheerfully.
-o-
“Whoa so full!
“And the food is so delicious! You made it yourself?”
“I cooked it with Hika.” I told him with the smug face.
“Hika-chan? Whoa so he could cook too!” I showed off about my ability of cooking but he only compliment Hika… I find myself being slightly disappointed.
“Well the truth is he only annoy me when I cook, but he told me that if you asked me who cooked these, he wanted me to said that he cooked along with me.”
“Ahahaha Hika-chan!” And then he giggled. Still.. he doesn’t compliment me….
“Let’s hang out with Hika-chan again!” Hika Hika and Hika! All he talked about is Hika! Do I still have my chance….?
“Unn, next time we invite Hika.”
Does he love Hika………?
I watched him sipping his tea from his cup calmly, it breaks my heart if he really does love Hika…
Suddenly I felt a drop of water on my face. I looked up to see the bright blue sky had turn to gray, the drops had turn into a light drizzle.
“Oh crap!” I jumped out of my seat, taking my guitar on my right hand and Kei-chan hand’s on my left, and drag him to the nearest tree to cover us from the rain. It’s not a long time for the light drizzle to turn into a hard one.
I took off my jacket and cover our heads with mine.
“Everytime we come here, we always ending up soaked, I wonder why” Kei said that and giggled.
“Whoa.. you’re right..” I remember the last time we here, it was also my first time. We got our clothes soaked with the water, but then I remember Kei’s condition after we’re being soaked. “But I hope you won’t be like ‘that’ again, though.”
He understand what I mean with ‘that’ and he smiled bitterly.
In an instant, I wrap my body around him, hugging him.
“Ee? Kou?” His body freezes due to the shock that I hug him.
“I’ll warm you up, so you won’t feel cold like the last time.”
And not so long, I can feel his body finally relaxed. “Thank you, Kou…”
The moment is so perfect. Us being close like this, sharing our warmth, caring for each other. It would be perfect if we shared the same feeling too.
Is it the right time?
I tried to look at his face, but failed. I ruffle his hair and somehow I can feel on my chest that he’s pursing his lips into a smile.
Maybe, It is.
“Kei.. I love you”
He twitched up his face, he had this puzzled and surprised look on his face.
“I love you Kei… very much.
“Maybe you thought that it’s too fast. We’ve known each other for a while, but I’ve already completely fall for you. I love you..”
He looked down, I slightly could see him smiling. He leaned his head on my chest and rest his head again there and he… hug me back.
By seeing his reaction… I can say that he… accept my feeling toward him? I can’t help but to smile.
“I want to live together.. forever with you.” I continued.
He suddenly, abruptly shrugged in my embrace. He forcefully release his body from my hug.
It breaks my smile. And heart.
“Ke-Kei?”
“I can’t……” He answered me without even looking at me.
“Wh-Why Kei….?” I can feel my heart breaking apart.
He kept looking away from me, not meeting my eyes, and not answering anything.
“Why.. Kei….?
“Don’t you love me too……..?”
Eventhough my face is already wet because of the rain, I can feel my tear rolling down on it.
“I… can’t…… Kou……….”
“Is it Hikaru…?” I weakly responded to his answer.
Now he looked me with disbelief.
“You thought Hikaru is the one I loved?” He said it, almost shouting. He looked me in the eye, fiercely. It’s piercing me, it’s breaking my heart to see him like that. But what broke me more is…. I can see the pain in his eyes.
“I can’t believe it Kou.” He closed his eyes and shook his head.
“Then why…….?”
Now I can see tears rolling in his already wet face.
“You don’t understand, Kou. You don’t.”
After saying that, he run back to his house in this hard rain. He left me alone…. being broken.

By seeing his reaction… I can say that he… accept my feeling toward him? I can’t help but to smile.
“I want to live together.. forever with you.” I continued.
He suddenly, abruptly shrugged in my embrace. He forcefully release his body from my hug.
It breaks my smile. And heart.
“Ke-Kei?”
“I can’t……” He answered me without even looking at me.
“Wh-Why Kei….?” I can feel my heart breaking apart.
He kept looking away from me, not meeting my eyes, and not answering anything.
“Why.. Kei….?
“Don’t you love me too……..?”
Eventhough my face is already wet because of the rain, I can feel my tear rolling down on it.
“I… can’t…… Kou……….”
“Is it Hikaru…?” I weakly responded to his answer.
Now he looked me with disbelief.
“You thought Hikaru is the one I loved?” He said it, almost shouting. He looked me in the eye, fiercely. It’s piercing me, it’s breaking my heart to see him like that. But what broke me more is…. I can see the pain in his eyes.
“I can’t believe it Kou.” He closed his eyes and shook his head.
“Then why…….?”
Now I can see tears rolling in his already wet face.
“You don’t understand, Kou. You don’t.”
After saying that, he run back to his house in this hard rain. He left me alone…. being broken.
