July 20th, 09.00 am
He’s sitting on the bed while blinking emptily to his phone. Even since last week when he had an argument with Kei, he’d never got any messages from the pretty guy. He sighed for nth time today, while absolute hopelessness hides behind it. It took about few minutes for him to distract his concentration from silent phone, and when the rain pouring out of the window, Yuuya looks to the cloudy sky up there since the window just placed right beside his head.
The miserable brunet guy slowly peek out to see the rain. Feeling pathetic while the water dripping sounds like a ballad song. That’s right, he always waited for Kei to contact him first. Maybe single sorry, or further explanation about previous problem, or even just to say ‘hi’ and asked for his condition since he hasn’t come back to their place yet. He’s sure he didn’t do something wrong and keep his pride until Kei is the one who admits the mistakes. But, however much he thought about it, he’s the one that almost literally contact Kei first just in case he misses the younger guy so much.
“Oniichan....”
Yuuya turned his face to see a woman stands on the door. It was her mom, crossing arms on both of her chest and looking straightly to his eyes.
“Yes?”
“We’ll go back today”
“But-“
“No buts. We’ve already extended two days in Auntie Riko’s home ‘cause you said you didn’t want to go back soon. We can’t stay here forever. I don’t know what’s your problem but pack your belongings ‘cause we will leave in thirty minutes. And today you have a promise to attend festival with your friends, deshou?”
“I’ll cancel that appointment. Please lemme stay here until the last day break, mother?”
“Why? This is the first time I see you like this”
“Like what?”
“Weird. Sad. I don’t know. Usually you talked too much in family gathering but you just smiled all the time as formality”
“I have a problem”
“It won’t be solved even if you stayed here for the rest of your life. Face it and take a decision. I won’t interfere ‘cause you’re mature enough, oniichan”, his mom sighed. Cooper is suddenly appeared - auntie Riko’s small size of chihuahua and she jumped to Yuuya’s lap in a matter of seconds. She whined for attention, and Yuuya smiled the way he realizes how Cooper’s puppy eyes attack seemed similar to Kei’s pouty expression whenever Yuuya teased him. “So, make it enough of your problem oniichan. Prepare yourself. Twenty minutes more”, with that, his mom left the room.
He stayed like that with Cooper for a while, in a massive cloud of chaos happening inside his mind. His mother is right. He’s mature enough to decide which one he should do or not.
“Hey Cooper, wanna go with me?”, he asked low and quiet. For a second, Cooper answered him by licking Yuuya’s tan skinned face constantly. But when she heard footsteps came from another way, Cooper immediately leaves Yuuya and runs outside the door. It won’t take much more explanations for him it was Yuri - auntie Riko’s son and the only owner of Cooper.
So, even a dog knows how to get back to their owner naa, Yuuya talked to himself. He has this horrifying realization that his nightmare may comes true. Kei will get back to Yabu when he’s not around. But, even he doesn’t have guts either to face it. Deep inside, he knows what he should do. Kei was lying to him, on the day he asked for his company to basketball match. He doesn’t know their problem was, but only by finding a fact Kei isn’t loyal enough makes him doubt his real feeling. Right, Kei said he loves Yuuya. But somehow it feels so different even from the very first time he met Yabu. There’s something strange, unexpectedly too heart-breaking for him to handle. Yuuya doesn’t know how shitty it sounds, but how can he knows the truth while Kei didn’t ever bother him for whole this time?
Slowly, Yuuya prepares himself to back home; just in case he doesn’t want his mother to scold him again. But before he do that, Yuuya takes his smartphone first and decided to send a message to the one he missed most, to the one that haunted his mind for nearly full a week.

July 20th, 08.43 am
It was raining. I peeped out through the window and see the glistening waters are dropping to the earth. The sky was illuminated by clouds. I’d always loved rain because it feels nice and calm. But right now, I think I should put such thought aside. The sounding of this rainy day makes me feels so pathetic. Even since that time at Kota’s place, and what happened between me and Yuuya on locker spot, I can’t imagine what else to do so everything will stop mocking me.
The memories of my childhood time with Kota was the best moments I’d ever had in my life. The way we laughed, played, slept together, the way he always came to my rescue, and all about him are so worth to remember. And whenever I remind myself of such moments, I assumed that I almost literally forgetting of what happened when I spilled for that silly confession. A confession without preparation, without thinking about his miserable condition at that time.
I still remember how fast my heart pounds when I saw his no-eyes smiles. I still remember the warmth of his touch when I was sick; he was the one who visited me everyday and even cried ‘cause we can’t play as routine. Truth to be said, I miss those moments. Things I couldn’t make it more precious if I didn’t spend my adolescence with him. The first person I loved, the reason of my happiness and also the reason of my sadness.
I find myself enjoying throw-back by this point before slowly the rain stops and the cloud parting their ways. I don’t know how long I was day-dreaming, but one thing I realize is he already stands across the street.
“Kei!!!”, he waves cheerfully. And I return him by smiling.
“Kota!! Wait for me!!”, I shouted back.
It won’t take much time for me to prepare myself. Well-I had an appointment with him today. It’s been a long time for us not to having fun together, and it won’t be a sin since I miss that moment also. So I eventually wear loose cream knitwear and sprays cologne all over my body. I take gel for my hair and ready to meet him in seconds. Kota’s handsome face is the first thing I found after I opened the door, and my day couldn’t be brighter more.
“So-“, he said, dragging me to walk side by side. “Ready for today? Where’d we go?”
“How about amusement park?”, I suggested, balancing the postman bag on my right shoulder
“Good idea. I want to ride jet coaster!!”
“I won’t then”
“Oh, c’mon Kei... don’t be such a coward”, he teased, poking my cheeks
“Whatever you said, I won’t ride jet coaster”, I put my hands on the hip and he pouted. He’s dressed in jeans and a navy shirt in which making him more handsome than when he wears uniform. Oh right, I just realized we’d never hang out together since the first day Kota came back.
“Meanie”
“Oh wait-my phone is ringing”. I immediately fish my smartphone on my bag. But when I tried to read that, my phone is shutting down in an instant. “Oh damn! I forgot to charge my phone!”
“Is it okay?”
“Huft-it’s okay. My mom knew that I hang out with you so she has no worries. I think it’s just Nozomu asked about our summer breaks assignments. I’m in a group with him”
“Hoo-souka”, Kota pulled my shoulder closer to him. I gasped, but I try so hard not to make it too audibly or else he will smell something suspicious. “Then, let’s enjoy today’s date. We will play till drop and the one who lost will treat other for lunch, deal?”
“Deal....”, I smiled to him. Thus he ruffles my hair in lovingly way that I almost can’t resist for this warmth feeling flows inside my sytem. I remember feeling so nervous when he did the same thing as we’re still 10. I don’t know if this is the same feeling or not, or I am still too confused to divide my own feelings and put them onto the right place.
Whatever.
I think I should just enjoyed myself. At least for now.
