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.
