Chapter 1: this old watch
Ayase started his day like any other. With a cup of postal coffee and a plan for the day. He had already got himself dressed and fed. Since it was the weekend the only thing Ayase had to do was to check his mailbox on the first floor, and meet up with Erin and Tess. After running to the restroom to brush his teeth and fix his hair. The blond slipped on his dark blue van shoes and started down the metal stairs. He pulled his box key out along with the little plastic snoopy dog doll attached to it with a red ribbon.
"It's so quiet down here." said a voice from behind.
The college student jump and slammed his wrist on the bottom of the mailbox door. Ayase yelped in pain before pulling his arm up to examine the damage. He turned his head toward the direction of the voice he had heard.
"I'm so sorry." said the young man standing there.
He looked slightly stunned by the bang of Ayase's wrist and the box door.
"I don't mean to scare you." he commented while running over to Ayase to study his wrist.
"I'm truly sorry."
"No...It's ok." The blond insisted bending his wrist back and forth.
"But … but you watch is broken." said the boy with short black hair.
Ayase turn his arm over and the glass face of the watch fell out on to the marble floor and shattered into a million little pieces. Both boys look dumbfound by the smash. The black haired boy looked back up to the blond who seem to be troubled by the action. The blond look up at the boy with a pitiful smile. As Ayase lowed his arm all the hands of the watch fell to the ground along with the crown. The blond lifted his arm to prevent anymore parts from falling out. The black haired boy gazed down at the glass in remorse. Ayase look back up at the boy.
"Don't worry about it was an old watch." Ayase noted while crouching down to pick up the pieces to place it on one of the letters he get in the mail.
"I can fix it for you." the boy said while placing his glass on to the top of his head. He squatted down to aid the blond in the clean-up. Ayase now had a better look at the boy. He had blue eyes like his but they were a hint darker.
"If you what me to..." he added.
Ayase place the last pieces of the old watch that he could get in to the letter and bended it to prevent any of the pieces from falling.
"Ok" he responded.
Placing the envelope in his hands. Both boys stood up and brush of their pants off which the black haired boy had a harder time doing with one hand but managed. Ayase undid the buckle the old watch from his wrist and hand it to the boy with a smile.
"Your just gonna give me you watch without any questions?" he asked.
The blond rubbed the circular red mark on his arm.
"Well….what you name and how old are you." Ayase questioned.
The boy frowned with a confused look on his face.
"I'm Kaoruko Someya but you can call me Someya and I'm 21 years old." He noted.
"You?"
"I'm Yukiya Ayase but I prefer to be called Ayase and I'm 18 years old."
"I trust you with my watch." Ayase pointed out "Anyway it doesn't have any value to it other than old memories."
"Well I wasn't lying about being able to fix your watch. I didn't just said what came to my mind. "He explained.
"I was waiting for a harsh no or a million questions."
"I'm not that kind of person." The blond said
"I can tell." Someya commented.
"Well I will have it finished in 2 or 3 days." He claimed.
"I live on the top floor. Room E24."
The blond nod in acknowledgement.
"My number it B12."
Ayase grabbed his mail and keys. He looked at the clock next to the stairs.
"Someya it was really nice to meet you but I have to go." The teen pointed out.
"Ok" Someya said.
Ayase smiled and walked towards the stairs.
"Ayase." Someya called.
"Yes." Ayase answered turning to look at the black haired boy.
"It also was nice to meet" he replied slipping back on his glass.
Ayase nod as he pulled his now ring phone from his front pocket.
"Hello?"
Cliffhanger oh how I hate them. But we will find out what happens in chapter 2. Also I made Someya younger than his real age and not an okama because I wanted him in the story but I couldn't find a way to bring him in as an okama. So he back to being just a boy but his plays a very important part in this story.
