Summary:You never know who you will end up with. Maybe that person is the guy who's you keep calling shorty or the guy that you label as dull guy. Yamada Ryosuke, the boy who's being voted as the most wanted boyfriend in his school find he was attracted to one of his classmate Nakajima Yuto, the boy who doesn't bother about others except his band and music.
The air was filled with the smell of the mid summer, where the sun shone brightly and the sky was blue as the color of the sea. Yuto leaned his body on the wall with his head tilted up. His eyes were looking up towards the blue sky, but he wasn’t exactly looking at it. He was just staring at it with an empty look; it was like he was looking at a deep, dark, and endless tunnel. Yuto rocked his head back and forth, hitting the wall repetitively, like a sinner looking for a slight forgiveness.
Why does my heart hurt?
He was confused by his own feeling.
Those words, where does it come from?
He was even confused with his own words.
Yuto shut his eyes as he tried to recall what he had done.
When he saw Yamada earlier, he fluttered in excitement. He can’t put into words how happy he was when he saw his smiling face. His big flashy smiles, the only smile that can jump start his heart. The only thing that Yuto wanted to do at that moment is to pull Yamada away from all those people that surround him, so that he can keep that smaller boy to himself. But when he heard Takaki wanted to talk to him, more so alone, his heart panicked.
Why does Takaki has to be the person who can say those words? ‘I want to talk to you alone’. Why can’t I say those words first before him?
When Yuto closed the door, he knows instantly that he can’t leave Takaki alone with Yamada. He was walking with his band mates but his thoughts were nowhere so he made an excuse for him to have a reason to go back to the studio.
But the scene that greeted him when he opened the door triggered rebellion in his heart. Without thinking, not even realizing what he was doing, he grabbed Yamada’s hand and dragged him away harshly.
Yuto stared at his empty hands,
“What have I done?”
“Yes, what have you done, stupid!”
Yuto looked to his side and saw Inoo and Hikaru, his band mates standing not far away from him.
“H-how long have you guys been standing there?” startled, but still managed to put his question into words.
“Long enough…” Hikaru made a step closer towards Yuto.
Inoo let out a small sigh, “Calling the person that you like an eyesore, that’s sure a weird way of saying I love you”
Yuto expression changed, “The person that I like?!”
Hikaru lift his sunglasses and looked toward Inoo, “I’ve told you already, this guy is really dense when it comes to this.”
“But I never thought he could be this stupid. So stupid to realize his own feelings and to make it worse, he even shoved him away without even telling him his feelings”
Hikaru nodded his head, “He already put an end to something that has yet to begin”
“What are you guys talking about?” Yuto asked.
“Tell me Yuto, why were you running desperately towards the studio earlier?” Inoo asked with a smile.
Yuto looked at Inoo, “I told you right, I forgot my drumstick”
Inoo lift his hand and pulled out the drumstick from Yuto’s backpack, “Then what is this? It stuck out from your backpack since we left the studio”
Yuto can felt his face started to blush, his mind ran out of excuses.
“Well stupid, let me tell you something; the reason why you’re running so desperately back to the studio. That’s because you were afraid. You were afraid that you might lose someone very important to you, the one that you love without you realizing it. You were afraid that you might not see your image reflect in Yamada’s eyes if he stops looking at you.”
Inoo stopped talking and took a deep breath,
“You’re like a child who wants to keep the thing you value the most to yourself. You want to keep it locked in a glass room where you are the only one who has the key to it; so that no one can touch it except you. That’s how much you desire Yamada”
Yuto is at loss, Inoo was right about everything. That’s how he feels towards Yamada, he can’t deny it.
“I’m in love with Yamada Ryosuke…” Yuto mumbled to himself, as if he wants to make sure that his heart and mind comprehends how he is feeling right now.
“Eh? Where’s Yama-Chan?” Keito’s voice pulled everyone’s attention away from Yuto.
“He already went home” Hikaru replied.
“What?!I thought he said he want to have a cake with us.” Keito sounded disappointed.
Hikaru looked at Yuto, “This guy just called Yama-chan an eyesore”
Keito stared at Yuto for a while then he walked towards him and whacked that taller guy’s head.
“Thank you, Keito” Hikaru said with a devilish smile.
Yuto rubbed his head with his hand, “I know, I deserve it”
“Poor Yama-chan, he was so eager to eat his favorite cake”
Hikaru giggled, “No, you the one that who‘s super excited about it…”
Keito stick his tongue out, “I’m not!”
Yuto stared at Keito’s face, “The café, where is it?”
“Just around the corner, the shop with yellow-painted door”
Yuto made motioned to walk away then he suddenly stopped and turn around, “Thank you guys…”
He is going to the shop Yamada was talking about earlier.
The three DASH’s members stood silent watching Yuto’s back until he turn at a corner and vanish.
“Did he just thank me for whacking his head?” Keito frowned.
The other two just laugh after hearing Keito’s question.
“I’m hungry, can we go now?”
Hikaru nodded his head and smiled.
“Cake cake cake…” Keito sing as he walked ahead of Inoo and Hikaru.
“Are sure it’s okay?” Hikaru asked Inoo, worry plastered in his face.
“Yeah, I’m sure those two will find their way towards each other,” Inoo answered.
“But I’m not worried about Yuto and Yamada. I’m talking about Takaki. Is it okay to left him that way? You know how Takaki is, right?”
Inoo stared at Hikaru’s face for a while. Then, “Yes, I know him well. But as of now, just let him do whatever he wants.”
Hikaru nodded his head, guilt crept his heart when he saw a bitter smile curved in Inoo’s lips. He realized he just open up a tight lid that locked up the painful past.

Yamada opened his eyes, growling sound made by his stomach alerted him. He stared at the ceiling for a while before sat up on his bed. His rooms was lighted with the street neon lights that sneak through the curtain, Yamada stood up and clicked the light switch. Slowly Yamada walked toward the bathroom’s mirror and stared at his face.
His eyes were swollen and red.
‘You’re an eyesore’
Suddenly Yuto voice echoed in his head, causing his eyes to go watery again.
Quickly Yamada splashes water to his face, as if he trying to prevent himself from crying again. But it didn’t work as soft sobs start to fill the bathroom. His heart was still in pain, he still can hear clearly all the words uttered by Yuto. His head was filled with nothing but his harsh words to him. Yamada rested his hand against the sink and lean forward, he had his head shoved against the mirror.
He really hates me
Yamada felt his whole body shaking while his tears ran down from his puffy eyes to the sink. But even though he was hurt by Yuto’s words, he still can’t force himself to hate the tall guy. He can’t hate him because he is deeply in love with him.
After he stopped crying, he changed into pajama and went down to the kitchen, looking for something to fill up his empty stomach.
“Ryo-Chan, I thought you were already asleep”
“I did, but I suddenly felt hungry” Yamada smiled, trying to cover up his crying face.
“What happened? Did you cry?” Yamada’s mom asked curiously.
Yamada shook his head and smiled again. He displayed a wide smile to hide his wounded heart.
Yamada’s mother looked at him and nodded her head. She picked up the bowl and put rice into it, then she poured a miso soup into a smaller bowl and heat up the chicken katsu with the microwave. Then she properly set up the dinner on the table where Yamada waited patiently.
“Thank you Okaasan” Yamada said as he started to eat.
“Ah! before I forgot, your friend was here earlier…”
“Who?” Yamada asked curiously.
Yamada’s mother thought for a while, “Hmm… I don’t know since he didn’t tell me his name. I’ve never seen him before”
She opened the fridge and took out a pink box and put it on the table.
“He asked me to give you this” Yamada’s mother smiled before she walked out of the kitchen
Yamada stared at the box. It has small note stick on top of it, slowly he opened it and read the content.
“I’m sorry”
Yamada frowned. He opened the box and saw his favorite cake in it.
His mind asked, “Who gave me this cake?”.
“I’m sorry” Yamada read the note out loud.
Suddenly Yuto’s image shoved into his mind, causing his whole body to tremble. Yamada shook his head, he knows there no way the tall guy is going to do this. Yuto hates him so why on earth would he want to give him a cake and say he’s sorry. Yamada took a deep breath and started to think clearly, who else could be sending his favorite cake with an apology stuck on it? Takaki’s image crossed his mind, he must be the one who gave him the cake.
Yamada closed the lid and shove it away. Even though it’s his favorite cake, he already lost his appetite.
His mind can’t help but thinking about Yuto. The way the tall guy acted was totally something Yamada couldn’t understand. He tried so hard to think what makes Yuto hate him so much, but he can’t come up with any logical answer.
Yamada know, after this he can’t face Yuto the way that he does usually. Even though it’s hard for him, he must do his best to stay away from him so that he won’t be a nuisance towards the latter. If staying way from Yuto is the only way to make him happy, then that’s what Yamada would do. He must restrain himself from being close to him, even though it means he has to suffer for not being with the person he loves the most.
---
The morning comes early than usual, that’s what Yamada thought when sunlight infiltrated through his curtain. Laziness hit him; he wants to stay in bed a little longer to makeup for the last night insomnia. But something alerted him, causing Yamada to jump of the bed and head straight to the bathroom.
If he doesn’t get up right now he might be late for school, it’s not like he was concerned about the school rule. Something else worries Yamada. If he goes late he will probably come across with Yuto on the way again. That’s something that he needs to keep away from. He doesn’t want to become an eyesore to him.
After putting on his school uniform as fast as the speed of light, Yamada rushed down to the stairs and head straight to the door. He made a quick stop at the door entrance, putting his shoes on and rush out his house.
Suddenly Yamada’s feet stop moving, it was like something has pinned down his foot to the ground. Yamada rubbed his eyes, trying to make a clear view of what he is looking right now. He blinked his eyes a few times, just to ensure that his mind isn’t playing tricks on him. But nothing has changed, his eyes saw no one but Nakajima Yuto standing in front of his house.
Yamada took a deep breath, “Pull yourself together, Ryosuke!” he thought. He can’t just stand there in front of Yuto’s bare eyes like a statue. He felt he must get away from there; he must stay away as far as possible from the tall guy so that he won’t be a nuisance for him. If there’s a place or corner in this world where he can stood silently so that Yuto won’t see him, that’s definitely the place Yamada wants to be in right now.
Without much thinking, Yamada gripped his school bag and run as fast as he can, leaving Yuto behind.
Yuto let out a heavy sigh when he saw Yamada running away from him. He narrowed his eyes as he tried to look for the smaller guy but he was already gone like the wind. He knows running after Yamada would be pointless, because that guy will only run away from him again. Yuto knows he deserves it. After everything that he did to the older guy, he knows Yamada has every right to treat him that way.
Slowly Yuto dragged his feet and make a way to the school. He will try to talk with him again in there. He needs to clear things up with Yamada and confess to him, even if it probably won’t end up the way he wants to.
---
Yuto trailed behind Yamada silently, he had his eyes fixed at Yamada’s cold back. That shorter guy avoided him the entire school period even though he had tried countless of times to talk to him. For example during recess, he seated beside Yamada at the canteen, but the latter quickly stood up and walk away from him. Another, during their science class where they have to pair up for an experiment, Yamada stood so far away from him like he was keeping a 1-meter distance. The same thing happened when Yuto stopped at Yamada desk after school, abruptly, he stood up and dragged Chinen out of the clas
Yamada and Chinen only stopped walking once they reached the school gate. They exchanged few dialogues before Yamada walked ahead towards the gate and leave Chinen behind. Yuto noticed that Yamada glared at him before he walked away.
“Nakajima-kun” Chinen voice distracted Yuto from looking at the chubby guy.
“What is it, Yuri?” Yuto asked.
“Did something happen between you and Yama-Chan?”
Yuto scratch the back of his head, “Sort of…”
Chinen smile, “Anou ne Nakajima-kun, does Yama-chan know that you are the one who gave him the cake?”
“I don’t know, because he was asleep when I went to his home last night”
Chinen looked at Yuto face, he wasn’t sure if he is supposed to tell Yuto about what Yamada had told him before he left. After taking account few things, Chinen decide to tell Yuto what he know,
“Yama-chan told me that it was Takaki-Kun who’s gave him the cake, that’s what he assumed. And he just left to see Takaki-Kun at the café”
Yuto expression changed, his heart revolted when Chinen mentioned Takaki. He wanted to run after him and stop him from seeing Takaki but his feet seemed to be nailed in its place. He felt drained and was left out with no energy.
“Aren’t you going to stop Yamada from seeing Takaki?” Chinen asked when he saw how stunned Yuto was.
Yuto just shook his head slowly “It’s okay Yuri. I have no right to do that”
Chinen let out a heavy sigh, “When you love someone, you need to say it out loud so that your feelings will reach that person…”
Yuto looked at Chinen as the boy made his way towards the school gate. Then, he turned around and waved his hand before he was lost in the crowd.
“Say it out loud…” Yuto mumbled Chinen words. He slipped his hand into his pant pocket and take out the black book. Yuto’s eyes ranted through the half written page before his right hand pulled a pen from his school bag’s pocket and start to write.
