I stood there. Under a lamppost, holding a broke hearted 28 year old man. "U-Usagi-San... If you want to cry, go ahead and cry." I offered nervously, he replied quickly with a bittersweet insult "Moron. A brat like you has no business sprouting precocious lines like that. I'll have you know, I haven't cried in front of strangers since the day I was born. You're the only one. I'll be damned if I let anyone but you see me in this wretched state." The embracing went on for about 30 more minutes until we both pulled away. UsagI-San quickly composed his features and thanked me before getting interrupted by my phone. Damn, talk about wrong timing. I thought glancing quickly at the phone ID. "Sorry Usagi-San, I have to take this. You can head back, just tell Nii-San I Felt a little nauseous and went for a walk." I watched Usagi-San make his way towards the house before going behind the concrete fence about 4 feet away and flipped open the phone. "We need to talk Misaki." My boyfriend, Makoto, Said nervously and seriously into the phone. "What is this about Makoto?" I asked my heart racing 1,000 miles an hour. "I rather talk In person, Where are you?" He asked sounding just as nervous as I was. "I'm about 3 blocks away from Nii-san's house behind a concrete wall to the right." I heard a nervous exhale and a door slamming before he spoke again."I'll meet you there in 7 minutes." He said before hanging up. I was left standing nervously pacing and eager to find out what this was about.
As he said, he was there in 7 minutes panting for air. "Makoto...Are you alright?" I asked trying to shove down my uneasiness. He nodded before looking into my eyes. "Misaki... I don't know how to tell you this..." The suspense had my emotions going wild. I felt like crying because I was so nervous. "Makoto I-I" he cut me off abruptly "I got someone pregnant." I felt the world stop and my heart shatter. "Remember before I met you, i slept around trying to replace the hole in my heart ?" I nodded numbly trying to take this in. "My next door neighbor was one of them... And I got her pregnant. I really am sorry Misaki, You know I love you right?" I looked up at him smiling sadly "Yea. I understand. You have to take responsibility." I said quietly. "I really did love you Misaki. I just wish I wasn't such a screw up-" I quickly stopped him. "No! You aren't a screw up... It's true that Im not all that merry about this but... I'm glad I made memories with you while it lasted. You were my first love. I'm happy to call you that." To reassure him I smiled. "I wish I didn't do it. If I had known that I would have met you... I wouldn't have done any of it..." He whispered, his cerulean eyes burned into mine and before I knew it, he had started crying. "It's fine. Everything happens for a reason. Maybe you were meant to be with her." He only sobbed harder, "NO! I was meant for you! I love you Damnit!" I ,again, smiled sadly. "You should go. It's late-" I was cut off by a random down pour of rain. "Go. Your family will be worried." I said pushing him towards the direction of his house. "Fine... Bye Misaki... " I waved while watching his back slowly fade. I leaned on the fence while looking up at the dark sky. My fake smile slowly faded and my bangs covered my eyes. Sometimes... I like the rain... It hid the tears I didn't want to admit I had. I stayed there silently crying for what felt like forever. I was broken. So much that I was laughing gently "You never do anything right you whore." I mumbled to myself. Although I was laughing sadly... I sobbed only harder. Soon enough my clothes were soaked and I was still crying.
~Usagi-san's Point of View ~
I was on my way back to Takahiro's place when a black haired kid ran past me. Could he be the person who called Misaki? I turned around curious, I stopped a few feet away from the lamp post hearing quiet voices. I listened closely listening to their conversation. I was mostly shocked that Misaki had a boyfriend in the first place, not that he was ugly or anything, but I didn't think he Was the type to date at his age. I looked over to see Misaki smiling... But I knew better, this kid, those eyes, I knew how he felt. Just an hour ago I smiled like that, I knew he wanted to cry. I could tell by that sad smile, that smile that showed so much loneliness. I felt cold droplets fall from the sky, "Go. Your family will be worried." There was a small silence but the sound of rain accompanied it. "Fine...Bye Misaki..." I heard the other boy 'Makoto.' Say before seeing his figure run. It was a few minutes till his figure disappeared into the rain and that's when I heard sobs, I flinched as he said to himself, "You never do anything right you whore." I stood there in shock. After a few more minutes I heard harder, more muffled sobs, and by then my clothes, and no doubt Misaki's to, were soaked. I walked from behind the wall and was presented with Misaki's back moving at an irregular pace, I saw his right hand over his mouth attempting to muffle some of the sobs. I stepped closer and wrapped my arms around his frail figure, immediately he pulled away and wiped his bloodshot eyes before looking at the latter who embraced him. "Oh Usagi-San hahaha, What are you doing here? I was just about to head back, I... Um I-" I saw a few stray tears fall from the cage, bet he thought the rain could hide it. "I was Just... Just talking with a friend...hahah." My heart ached at his weak attempt to hide his misery. "You don't have to hide It... I heard the conversation." I said wrapping my arms around him. I could tell he was shocked and most likely angry that I eavesdropped but he didn't reject the embrace. "You can cry, you know. There's no need to hold it in." I whispered in his ear before feeling his body shake immensely. I heard his sobs and encompassed him tighter, indirectly insuring him that I was there for him. A plethora of minutes passed before he pulled away, eyes red, nose puffy, face agitated, and lifeless hues of emerald. "We should head back before they eat all the food." He whispered turning his body towards the direction of Takahiro's house. "Yeah," I said before following Slowly behind him.
