~~~Arc 3 - Chapitre 6 - Calming Hearts~~~
"I'm sorry !"
Keito was at lost and that was the only think which came across his mind at the moment. So he bowed his head real low as he wait for the younger's reaction.
"What are you apologizing for ?"
He lifted his head and look into Ryosuke's brown orbs.
"Eh ?"
"I said, what are you apologizing for ?" The boy rolled his eyes as he repeated himself.
"I- I think-"
"You think." Cutted the younger boy. "Really, Keito. All I wanted was I talk. I don't need your apology whatsoever."
And at the playful smirk upon Ryosuke's lips, Keito just chuckled.
"I see." He sighed before walking toward the stool by the bedside and took his seat there. "What do you want to talk about then ?"
Ryosuke shrugged at that. "Nothing in particular."
Keito almost retorted at that, but he stopped himself at seeing the younger boy's face turned solemn suddenly.
"I'm just wondering, why are you avoiding me lately ? Did I offended you somehow ? Or do you simply hate me because of what happened at that time ?" The boy smiled bitterly as he looked down onto his hands.
"Ryosuke-" He sighed again, trying to find the right words to say.
"It's not like that." He started. "Rather that hating you, it's more like that I'm hating myself. That I felt like a complete failure, I can't bring myself to face you again."
"Why ?"
It was a simple question, really. Just one simple question asked in simple way. But that simplicity had brought him to the edge, as emotion after emotion flew inside him, overwhelming him. And before he could stop himself, he already felt tears fell from his eyes. He quickly wiped his face, but it was proven to be a futile attempt as the stream just go harder.
"Keito ?"
That voice again. Calling him with such concern and curiousity. But he couldn't bring himself to speak, at least not yet. So he just shook his head, signaling the younger boy to give him time to calm himself down. And Ryosuke just nodded his head, and kept his silence, waiting for him to continue.
It was a little over ten minutes later that Keito finally found his voice again. He smiled sheepishly as he took the tissue from Ryosuke's hands.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to break down like that." He told the boy.
"It's okay." Ryosuke shrugged. "I mean, I can't always expect you to play the strong charade, right ? Even I knew that much."
Keito just chuckled at the mischief lacing Ryosuke's voice.
"You brat !"
And then suddenly, the previously tensed room now filled with laughters.
"So Keito, mind explaining to me about your previous statement ?" Ryosuke suddenly send a sharp glare at him.
"It's-" He sighed, knowing that it's now or never. "I guess, I was just being a little hard on myself."
He looked up, hoping that Ryosuke would understand immediately. But as expected, his words were too vague that the younger boy just frowned at his words.
"I believe that it was my fault, mostly, that you ended up hurting in the end. You probably knew this, but I had made a vow to myself that I will protect you with my all, even at the cost of my own life. But that night, I had failed to protect you, the one I treasured the most. And the feeling of fright ate me up, that you might be disappointed in me for failing, or that you might discard me for being such a useless being. But most of all, I was afraid that you will hate me, or even loathe me, for knowing that I was the son of the person which caused you to be like this." He trailed off, looking away as he once more feeling the air suffocating him.
"Stupid, aren't you ?"
At the sudden remark, Keito quickly lifted his head up.
"Do you really think that I care ?" He saw how Ryosuke averted his eyes. "I don't care of whom your father might be, you are you. And I trusted you for who you are, not for whose blood runs within you. You should've known better."
"I-"
"Beside, if anything-" Ryosuke lowered his gaze, lips forming a thin bitter smile. "It was my father's fault. Because of his own doings, this ruckus happened. If not for his greediness, my uncle wouldn't be like this, right ?"
"Ryosuke..." He called out softly. Then out of instinct, he went forward and pull the younger boy's body into his, locking him in a tight embrace. He had expected a rough reaction from the younger boy, but all he felt is how Ryosuke's body fell limp in his arms. He frowned but tightened his hold nonetheless, trying his best to provide comfort to the still shaken boy.
"Shh.. It's alright. Everything's going to be alright."
***
Smiling contendedly, Yuto slowly pulled away from where he stood and start walking away. Now that things seemed to be alright between the two boys, he thought that it was best to give them some privacy for real. At the time being, he will go and feed himself a snack or two from the cafeteria.
"Yuto-kun ?"
The tall guy stopped his track as soon as he heard his name being called and turned around. He had known this voice for a long time, but he wished that it was his mind playing trick on him. Because truthfully, he wasn't ready to face this person just yet. But it appears that his wish was not granted as he was faced with someone he hadn't met for a long time.
"Chii ?"
The other boy smiled as he marched toward him and he could only smile back in return.
In the end, the two of them walked together to the cafeteria as he ordered some light meal for the two of them. He doesn't know what to say so he kept his silence as they ate.
"It'd been long." The younger boy started and he just nodded his head in response. "How are you doing ?"
"i'm doing fine." He smiled. "How about you ?"
"I'm good." The smaller boy nodded his head. "Anyway, what are you doing here ?"
Yuto frowned at the question. "You too. What are you doing here ?"
A chuckle is what he got as a response.
"What is it ?"
Chinen shook his head. "It's nothing. It's just, I think you've changed. You've been more, cautious with your words and all. But I think it was inevitable." The boy gave him a soft smile. "And I'm here to visit my aunty. She came all the way from Shizuoka to see my cousin and I. But it seems that the long trip kinda taken it's toll on her, so she somehow collapsed and has to spend a few days in the hospital."
"I see."
"So, what about you ?"
Yuto hesitated, but then sighed at knowing that it was no use hiding it. Beside, it's not like he will get a demerit over it anyway.
"I'm here to visit Yama-chan."
"Eh ? What's wrong with Ryosuke-kun ?" Chinen asked him, his curiousity perked up.
Yuto frowned at the intimacy the younger boy was showing, but decided to let it off. "His wounds got reopened. But it was nothing life-threatening, fortunately."
"That's a relief." The younger boy sighed as he sipped into his cup of tea. "I hope for his fast recovery then."
"Thank you." Yuto made a small smile at him.
"Well then, I guess it's my time to leave. I have a lecture in an hour so-" The younger boy proceeded to grab his wallet, but Yuto stopped him.
"That's okay. It's my treat." He told the smaller boy and received a smile in return.
"You're still Yuto-kun after all." He chuckled softly. "And it's strange, because it felt like that you've changed, but still the same one I used to know."
"Hm ?" Yuto frowned at him, obviously confused at his words.
"Nevermind. I guess it was just me." The small guy smiled. "Thanks for the food then. I'll take my leave now."
"Hn." Yuto nodded his head. "Take care."
The boy just nodded his head before he took his leave. But before he could leave completely, Yuto suddenly called him out.
"Chii !"
The called boy turned around and tilted his head, urging him to continue.
"Won't you ask me anything ? I mean, about what had happened between us and all ?"
And when he flashed him a smile, realization suddenly struck him. That this boy before him, had known the consequences of their friendship, and had long accepted everything.
"There is nothing left between us for me to question. I believe that it was out of my reach to barge into, so I won't push myself beyond what I'm capable of. But in time, when you think that you are ready, you should know that I will listen to your every stories. Just like we used to be."
And with one last smile and a small bow, Chinen Yuri finally disappear.
