It was then that Nakatsu knew the sun is up. Rays of sun are hurting his eyes. He half-opened his right eye and let out a yawn, not feeling the good vibe to start the day ahead. He turned to his side to check his digital alarm clock. His unwilling-to-start-the-day-eyes flew open. It says 10 am and underneath the numbers, "Saturday" is written. With his shock stricken face, Nakatsu stood up his bed. He looked around as if searching for something. Panicking. And then it hit him-he felt the staggering pain in his head. Nakatsu thrown his head as he suffered the pain. It feels as if his skull is going to crack. Letting out a pain-filled groan, He fell on his back- letting his bed absorb the impact. The bed frame creaked as his body reached the springs. The pain did not go away and moving around is making it worse. Staring at the ceiling, remembering what happened last night, blurry and unstable clips has rolled. It has something to so with some of his colleagues and numerous bottles of alcohol. He had an amazing time last night that he cant even think straight, but now he's paying the price.
"God Dammit!" He yelled at himself, still feeling the pain of a hangover. His face turned into a scowl. Thinking for some options to do. He's not really feeling well to get out of bed but atleast taking a shower would refresh his mind and make it tons better.
"A shower it is!" He said to no one in particular. He tried to sit up while the head ache struck him like a lightning. He tried to steady himself and sat on the same position for a minute or two. Regaining his composure, Nakatsu got up and stumbled towards the shower which is atleast 10 feet awat from where he is standing. He knocked over his digital clock resting above the side table and he didnt seem too interested on what made such a cracking noise. Right now, a shower is what he really needed to gain awareness away from his excruciating head ache.
Unable to help the pain, he closed his eyes and just kept on walking towards the familiar path. He knocked onto something hard. He opened his eyes and it seems like he walked straight to the bathroom door. He slid past through the door successfully and is heading straight for some warm shower to decrease the pain. The feel of the warm water relaxes his stressed muscles. It was only a matter of time before he realized that his head-ache is half way gone. Yet he kept his mind wander around things while his body is left under the drizzle of the warm water.
He tried his hardest to remember what really happened last night and why he's in such a horrific pain. He was with Tadashi and Shin-who are one of his closest friends in college. Being in college was far more pressuring and stressful rather than highschool in Osaka. There was this studies that are far more advanced that you should ace, His passion for soccer, time for his friends and also to his girlfriend. The last word of the thought has hit him like a tons of bricks. His eyes are now wide open and his mouth fell as if trying to wait for some prey to some inside.
"HA-RU-KA!" He whispered the name to himself. The name of his current girlfriend. The pain of his hangover have already decreased the ache at this time but theres still some sort of hundreds of needles poking his head. He reached out his hand on a towel-holder only to realize there was nothing but air in there. He snapped his head back to the direction to re-check if his towel really isnt there but only found the holder empty.
"Eh?" He let out a near yelling groan and scratched the back of his head. Surprised of all the bad luck happening to him.
He was now furious. Heading out of the door as the hot-headed soccer player- Nakatsu Shuichi. But before he was even at the door, He tripped and was about to hit the floor with his back but only was saved by his instincts- grabbing the empty towel holder. With his breath on hold and his heart picking up the acceleration, Nakatsu pulled himself up and stood, keeping his focus on his steps with the wet, slippery floor.
Finally getting out of the bathroom door, He headed towards the closet and took out his towel. He wrapped it around his bottom half and is headed to fetch clothes accurate for the date which he's now awfully late for. He should be in the park an hour ago...
Finally having the pair of jeans and a simple red shirt in his hands, His cellphone rang a couple or more times. He let out a sigh and answered the phone. It was Haruka. No surprise about that.
"Hello? Where on Earth are you, Nakatsu?"
"Uhm" He scratched the back of his head. "I kinda has some troubles stumbling around the shower, Haruka. Gomen. I'll be on my way" Theres a slight sheepish look on Nakatsu's face as he explained.
"Fine! I'll be on the park bench so please hurry up!" She said over the phone and then the moment she's done speaking, The line went automatically dead.
He rolled his eyes and went to put on his clothes. Nakatsu really isnt the lot-of-ex-girlfriends-surrounding-him background but not until one person rejected him. She has been lingering on him ever since. The only person that would ever capture the great Nakatsu's heart. Yes- he would rather give up everything just for her. His belongings, his time, fortune, all of it! Even his sexuality. Theres just no one else he'd rather see himself to grow old with..Almost four years ago, after Nakatsu graduated high school and is off to college, he was influenced.. or much rather to be called- "awakened" away from his broken hearted nightmares. Realizing that people come and go. And for the past 30 months, more or less, that thought was rooted on his mind making it as an excuse to the girls he have broken up with.
With all of his clothes on, Nakatsu watched himself infront of a mirror. He likes what he sees. The hot blooded soccer player. The great Nakatsu Shuichi. Fire blazed in his eyes as he gave himself a half smile and a thumbs up. With both of his hands turned into a fist, they both rested in his side. He looked directly to the person in the mirror's eyes.
