[01] [02] [03] [04] [05] [06] [07] [08] [09]
Uruha watches eagerly as his schoolmates do their own stuff within the diner. They have only been formally introduced a while ago but it seems most have known each other a long time. Human nature does works wonders in times of crisis.
"AHHHH!" Shou screams, inviting everyone's attention to the small group he had formed with Kazuki, Reita and Jin.
"Shou! You scream like a girl!" Reita remarks, laughing uncontrollably.
"Because you told the scariest story!"
"Oh no! Look behind you!" Kazuki teases him, Shou screams again.
Saga wakes up abruptly after the second scream. Lifting his head from the table, he lazily checks on his watch, it's half past eight in the evening, tilts his head up and looked outside, only to see that the rain has grown wider and the flood is now almost knee-deep. He rests his head back on his arms, watched the raging rain outside for a moment, then turn his head to be surprised to see that Tora has fallen asleep beside him.
Aoi, Kai and Hiroto has managed to bring some instruments with them to the diner, Hiroto and Aoi brought their guitars and Kai brought his tambourine. They were talking about the music they'll play at the festival.
Hiroto stops playing and looks at Kai, "What now Hiroto?"
"Tambourine sounds a little weird." Kai laughs Hiroto's remarks off.
"Dont worry! I'll use the drums on the actual performance, for now, this will do. Oh! Does your brother play any instrument?"
"He plays the piano and the guitar."
"Do you like Uruha?" Aoi asks, without even looking at the person he's talking to, too busy tuning his guitar.
"Ewww. Gross, Kai-senpai."
"Give your brother a chance. He's grown prematurely compared to you. And Aoi, I am not answering that." Kai looks over his shoulder, checking if everyone is still alright despite the bad weather, he finds Yuuto and Manabu joining the group of the ghost storytellers, and is relieved to see Uruha sit across Saga, drinking another milkshake.
"So.. Saga..."
"Yes, Uruha?" Saga lifts his head to face the president.
"We've known each other since middle school, am i really... uptight?"
Saga straightens up, "Well... I think you just take your 'job' a bit too seriously. Loosen up a little, maybe you'll see that it's actually worth it."
Uruha turns silent, he scans the room and sees his schoolmates in groups, he rests his chin on his hand on the table, "It's a little too late to make new friends... We'll be graduating in two months..."
"Look around you Uruha, I dunno. Maybe it was fate that brought us all here."
"Yo, student. Join us." Uruha looks up to see that Kai has walked up their table.
"Join you for what?"
"I heard you play the guitar. Show us the skills."
Uruha smiles at Saga, then looks at Kai, "You might be surprised on how great I am, 'teacher'." He stands up to join Kai's little group, leaving Saga alone with Tora.
Saga looks at Tora who's sleeping soundly beside him, as much as Saga wants to join the other groups, Tora is blocking his way, either he wakes him up or he jumps over the table to get to the other side.
"It's cold..." Tora whispers, opening his eyes, looking at Saga, the flame of the candle on the table reflects on Tora's dirt gray eyes, looking at him, Saga realizes that Tora's eyes tell something else about the bully they've known. It's deep. A little too deep to not hold any mysteries behind him.
"What?" Tora asks, Saga turns away, he lights up a cigarette, he might've stared too long that Tora grew uncomfortable.
"Let's go."
"What?"
"Let's scare the guts out of your weird friend." Tora stands up, a bit confident with the place since it's lightened up a little with candles, Saga follows him.
Tora sits beside Reita, Saga beside him, they were just in time with Kazuki's story.
"I heard this from the old janitor when I was cutting classes... He said that years ago, a straight A student failed a subject, he got so depressed when the professor who failed him didnt give him a chance to retake the test immediately that he took his own life by hanging himself up in one of the cubicles of the restroom on the second floor. Rumor has it that whenever you use that cubicle, and you feel like your head is hitting something in the air, it's his feet hanging from above."
"AHHHHH!!!!" Shou screams again, grabbing Yuuto who's seated beside him, "That comfort room is beside the Drama Club's room!"
"I know, that's why i told it to you." Kazuki laughs, so did everyone when Shou started throwing balls of papers at him. "Saga!!! Do you believe him?!"
Saga shrugs his shoulders, "I dunno. To feel is to believe." Saga smiles mischievously, scaring Shou more. "I hate you too! Oh fate! My bestfriend has walked into the dark side! I've been abandoned!"
"You know, I heard that the Academy used to be co-ed, but was turned to an all - boys school when a female student committed suicide on the theater hall too." Jin adds. "Why does every stories you guys come up with has to do with where I usually am?!!?" Shou screams to the people around him.
Manabu yawns, Kazuki notices this and asks, "Are you sleepy?"
"A bit... I should be sleeping by now..." Manabu answers, trying hard to keep his eyes open. "Come on, let's get you a place to sleep on." Kazuki stands up, taking Manabu by the wrist, they walk towards an empty couch, Manabu lies on it, using his bag as pillow. Kazuki sits by his feet, resting his arms on the table.
"You can go back to them." Manabu tells him.
"Aren't you scared alone?"
"Ive always been alone. And I dont get scared with ghost stories." Manabu adds, his eyes already closed.
"Well, it's good to be with someone too..."
"It's better to have somebody than just to have someone in his life..." Manabu's voice is trailing off, Kazuki looks at him, "What do you mean?" but Manabu didnt answer, Kazuki notices that his companion has fallen asleep.
Somebody, huh?
He rests his head on the table over his folded arms and tries to catch up with Manabu in his slumber.
Aoi stands up and goes to one of the tables by the window to smoke, Reita's eyes follow him, Tora notices this.
"Are you gonna be satisfied with just looking at him? This is your chance Reita, talk to him." Tora whispers to him, as to not let Saga hear who was just a few inches away from them, talking to Shou.
"What do we talk about?" Reita whispers back.
"Well... he plays the guitar and you play the bass. Talk about music, whatever. We'll be graduating soon."
"You're nice today. Where is Tora?!" Reita shakes Tora up, Tora pushes him off. "Fuck off! Go! Go get him!" Tora gives Reita a little push, "Fine. Watch me make a fool out of myself. Just like you wanted." Reita walks off to where Aoi is.
"Mind if I join you?" Reita asks Aoi who just gave him a nod.
"So... uh. How long have you been playing the guitar?" Reita nervously asks.
"Five years." Aoi's still not looking at Reita, making the latter more nervous than he already is.
"Uh.. I play the bass..."
"I see."
Silence. Awkward silence. Reita's getting a bit frustrated. He feels that Aoi is totally uninterested in any conversation with him. He scratches his head, he really feels stupid now. He takes out a cigarette and frantically looks for his lighter.
"... We need a bass player for the festival." Aoi hands him a lighter.
"You think I can join you? I mean, it's only two weeks before the festival starts." Reita lights up his cigarette, and returns it to Aoi after.
"Yes. It's not like you're joining the club. You'll just play the bass for the festival."
"Yeah. I can do that."
"You can come to the club's room after class. We hold practice there."
Reita smiles, feeling a little better now that Aoi has spoken more than two words for him. It's not much but it's a start.
Yuuto lies on Jin's lap while the other leans against the wall of the diner, a little too tired for the day.
"Jin...?"
"Yeah?" Jin looks down to see Yuuto tracing the lines of the wooden floor.
"Jin... are you sure... it's only me?"
Jin tucks Yuuto's hair behind his ear then playing with the brunette's long locks, "Of course. Why do you ask?"
"I'm really bothered with you and Franz. If it's just studying, please, let me help you out." Yuuto's voice is lower, a bit breaking.
"But I told you..."
"I feel left out!" Yuuto sniffles, Jin felt a warm teardrop seep through his pants. "I'm a good student, I can help you too."
"Shhh. Dont cry. Ok. I'll stop studying with Franz. Dont let this bother you anymore. Starting tomorrow, you'll help me, alright?" Jin gives Yuuto a reassuring squeeze on his shoulder, "Go to sleep Yuu-chan. You're tired."
"You too Jin. I'm sorry for the outburst..." Jin gives Yuuto a kiss on the shoulder, "Dont worry about it. Sweet dreams."
Hiroto walks away from Uruha and Kai and walks over to Shou when he saw him lying alone on the floor.
"Hey... sleeping?" Hiroto crawls beside Shou who shifts his body so he is lying on his side facing his boyfriend, "No. Not yet..."
"Shou...?"
"Yes, my dear?"
"I'm sorry about my brother, he's an assh--"
"Need not worry about a thing my sweet. I am eccentric, I know as much. It would be lovely to get his approval, but acceptance is all I really need. And I obtained that. I have you."
Hiroto cuddles to Shou, who in turns hugs him back. "Shou... you might've scared the other people in the diner a while ago..."
"Hahaha. I am not to blame. Have you been by my side when the others are torturing me with fear, I wont be just as scared..."
"I'm really sorry. We were really just busy awhile ago. I will make it up to you next time."
"Uh-huh..."
Hiroto looks up to see that Shou has fallen asleep, he smiles. He loves how warm he feels when Shou's with him. Nevermind the cold weather, he has the human warmth that he wants. "Goodnight Shou..."
"You really play well, you should come and play with us!" Kai exclaims after hearing how Uruha plays the guitar.
"Nah. I'll be too busy running the festival itself..." Uruha sets Aoi's guitar down, Kai sets his tambourine aside.
"What time is it?"
Uruha checks his watch, "It's a little past 10... ho-humm..."
Kai looks around to see where everybody else is, counting the heads of the people who were sitting with him on their table, relieved to find that everyone is still in the diner. He's surprised to see Aoi sleeping across Reita on one of the diner's tables. From what he could see, it was only Tora and Saga who are left awake, casually talking on the floor with a lit-up candle in front of them.
"We should probably sleep now, Uruha." He turns to see that his companion has fallen asleep on the chair, slouching, with his head on his hand that is sitting on his lap. Kai walks up to him and carefully lifts him up, Uruha didn't budge.
Kai blushes when he got to stare at Uruha this close, save that he could barely make it out due to the darkness, he was still able to see Uruha's calm face. He likes how the president's eyebrows arent furrowed and angry.
Kai walks to where Kazuki and Manabu are sleeping and carefully sets Uruha on the couch, he sits by his feet and turns to sleep on the table.
Saga turns around when he felt the diner has turned eerily quiet, aside from his and Tora's voice and the rumbling from outside, no one's awake. Even the staff of the place has turned in.
"Hey." Tora calls out to get his attention.
"Yeah?"
"We've been talking awhile now, so... what's your secret?" Tora asks, lighting up a cigarette, Saga does the same.
"Why should I tell you?" Saga raises an eyebrow, pouting a little to intimidate Tora.
"So that we're fair. So there wont be blackmailing between us."
Saga laughs, "You're the only person who'd do the blackmailing. I wont do that. Even if I hate you."
"So you hate me?"
"I don't. What i mean is, if i come to hate you. Maybe. Whatever."
"Hmn. If you say so. But if this comes out, I'm tracking you down." Tora sighs, leaning on the wall, he stares at the candle. "I should start forcing myself to sleep soon."
"Why's that?"
"Our candle's dying, If it does, well.. you know..." Tora sounded a little child that is too scared to tell his mother that he's scared, Saga finds it amusing.
"What? You're smiling again. You really think it's funny!"
"It's not funny. I have fears too."
Tora looks at Saga sincerely, examining if there's a hint of lying on his face, he found none. "Yeah? Like what?"
"Well, I'll tell you, since it's not a secret. I faint at the sight of blood." Saga readies himself to Tora's sarcastic laughter, but he didnt hear even a snicker.
"I hate that too..."
Saga smiles, "Look. Dont be scared of the dark when I'm with you. Well, since I know your secret, I'll take care of you." Tora was a little taken back by what Saga said, especially after realizing he has not removed his gaze from him, he finds out that the person before him truly is beautiful. Too beautiful to be a man.
Saga turns away, if Tora stares at him longer, he'll turn red. He goes into a fetal position with his knees on his chest. "Why are you scared of the dark?" Saga whispers.
"That's another story..."
"Well... I suppose so."
Tora stares at the candle before them, he grabs on to Saga's hand, who gave his a soft squeeze. Saga didnt say a word, nor did Tora, moments later, the whole place turned pitchblack.
