Under the sun

Yamada is still training to air-guitar on the roof of a building under the grey sun of a late afternoon. Mimura joined him and gave him an advice.

« Make more movements with your arms. »

Taro stopped to talk with his friend.

« I'm beginning to be nervous.

- Even after repeating as much ? »

Yamada sat on a bench.

« Thanks, to accompany me.

- You too. »

Takuya sat also on the bench next to Taro.

« Thank you. It's the first time I'm working so hard. »

Taro seemed intrigued by Mimura's words and none of the two guys saw Takako arrived but she stayed a few meters behind them.

« Working hard on things without any importance, laughing out loud, crying a lot... Strangely, till here, I've always found it was bad. But when I see you, I think that everything is possible. »

Takuya turned his head toward Yamada and looked at him nicely.

« Thank you very much. »

Taro turned also his head to look at his friend in the eyes who continued his speech.

« I'm happy we met. »

Yamada smiled because what Mimura just told him made him hugely happy. Ikigami is happy too to witness about such a friendship between two boys. She approached them but stopped after making two steps. Takuya has... he has... there, he kissed... kissed Taro.

« Euh... Mimura-kun... it's... well...

- It was a kiss... of thanks.

- Ah... I see ! »

Taro didn't formalize more about that and remarked Takako behind them in an intense thinking.

« Ikegami-san ? »

* Yes... that's it ! It was a kiss to thank his friend of the things he has made him discover. Of course, as though Mimura-kun or Yamada-san could be... *

She nodded strongly the head from left to right to banish these ideas from her mind and moved to see her friends.

« It's time to go.

- Yosh ! »

Yamada stood up, pumped up, he was ready to win !

« So, shall we go ? »

He held out his hand in the emptiness.

« Mimura-kun.

- Oh ! »

Takuya put his hand on the one of Taro and Takako smiled.

« That kind of things is great, right ? »

She added her hand on the one of Mimura and therefore, they were forming a circle.

« We have repeated ! »

Takuya said a cheering retort.

« Let's have fun ! »

Yamada stayed the same.

« The hamburger is our goal... let's go ! »

Each of them downed his hand which connects and lifted them at the same time, screaming in unison.

« Oh ! »

Indeed, they were about coming on the stage for the competition of air-guitar. Yamada will win definitely the big prize with the help of his friends because after all, he can't lie to his siblings.
