Chapter 31 - Moonlight
Ryosuke approach ‘that’ spot in his room. The spot where he’ll be staying when he’s sad or confused. The spot where he’ll be staring the night when he’s lonely. The spot which had heard his silent stories. His windows.
He sits there and stare outside the dark night. The stars are blinking happily and the full moon shine brightly. Ryosuke close his eyes. Today had been quite a tired day for him.
He was just having his first ‘training’ with Alquirro and it was dreadful. That girl surely had some weird taste of such stuffs. Maybe she was hanging with Kazu a lot. Or maybe Kazu was actually affected by her. She surely know how to press people into their limit.
Warming up, which concluded running and any basics things. Followed by fighting practice. Kota was trying to held back when they fought each other but he was found by Alquirro and was punished to bought her a drink in 5 min from a market about 5 km away. He was late though, just by a min and Alquirro made sure that he will do her laundry for a week.
Kota seemed didn’t mind though. He was ranting about her all the way, but he didn’t seem distracted about the idea of him being punished because he was trying to held back with Ryosuke. Instead, he was about to do it again if Ryosuke didn’t tell him to do it properly.
Ryosuke was lost at last. He felt so drained for an unknown reason back then. The fight wasn’t that tough so he was confused with his early exhaustion. He tried to assured himself that it was probably because it had been long since he trained his body that way. But it seemed like that he was wrong.
At lunch break, Ryosuke refused to eat anything because he felt no apetite toward the foods. He drank the strawberry juice that Kota bought him just to made him unworried to him. Then he excused himself to the bahroom.
Once he reached the bathroom, he locked the door and suddenly felt weak as he dropped to the ground and started to breath hard. He was startled. It was so sudden. He didn’t expected it to happened this way. Luckily, he got his medicines in his pocket. He took one of it and put it on his mouth. Then he shakily went to the sink and opened the faucet to drank some water from it.
After a couple of min, the medicine started to took effect and he slowly found his breath again. Suddenly someone knocked the door, made him startled.
“Ryo-chan ? Are you alright ? What took it so long ?” He could hear Kota’s voice from outside the door.
Ryosuke cleared his throat before answering, tried hard not to be shaking. “A min. I’m done.”
“Hurry up.” Kota replied concernedly.
Ryosuke stood up slowly and washed his face to refreshed it. He looked into a mirror to see if there was any traces of discomfort. After he was satisfied, he slowly walked to the door and went outside. He tried to looked normal in front of Kota and it worked since Kota seemed to be normal toward him.
After that, the training continued with same fighting practice. It’s just this time, it became more intense and it last longer.
Kota seemed concerned toward Ryosuke and Ryosuke felt relieved because he said nothing about it. And after hours of fighting, they finally finished a day.
They then gathered in the same room like yesterday along with the other guys from another groups and Alquirro told them about something which Ryosuke didn’t understand since his head started to ached and his ears were stingy.
Kota offered him a ride home which he accepted gratefully because it means that he did not have to walked home. He thought that he might collapsed on his way home and found by some strangers who will bring him to the hospital or maybe somewhere else which made him shivered.
Once he was home, he headed straightly to his room to rested. But only after a min he lied on his bed, he got up again and walked to his study desk unpassionately. He still had his undone homeworks and he knew it would be trouble if he didn’t do it.
His headache was getting worse when he tried to do his homeworks and after a long 2 hours, he finally finished them. He stretched his hands and immediately went to the kitchen for dinner after his mother called him.
He had no passion at all when he ate his dinner and it definitely drew his parents attention.
“Ryosuke, what’s wrong ? You don’t like the food ?” His mother asked him softly.
Ryosuke shake his head faintly. “I just don’t feel like eating.” He replied mindlessly.
His parents gave no comment, instead they were watching their only son concernedly.
“Can I just rest in my room ?” Ryosuke ask as he put down his chopsticks.
His father frown a bit, but he nodded after several sec.
Ryosuke then thanked him and immediately left the room.
He quickly went to his bathroom to take a hot shower to relaxed his mind and body. He was too occupied with his homeworks before he forgot to took a bath. He didn’t even changed his clothes.
He entered the bathtub slowly and soon sighed in content as the hot water made him relaxed a bit. This is surely a good way to relax.
After a good 30 min, he finished his bath and changed into his soft and warm white pyjama. Then, he walked toward the window and stare outside.
He closes his eyes and smile in relief. He can feen warmth flowing thoughout his body. For a moment, it seemed like that he could forget everything else and feel just him. For a moment, he can at least let himself be free. For a moment, he can feel content.
He smiles more. He loved the feeling. The magic that only the moonlight can do.
