Lost and Found
A Masayuki fanfic by Female_Link/Mewtwomewt,
Young Wife of Arislan
Masayuki didn't know where to go.
When he was in his room, he had nothing to do, and he felt stuck there.
But when he was in the kitchen, he felt self-conscious around his mother.
It was 6:30 PM--Much too early to go to Cyberia.
But there was no better place to
go.
Still, it was too early. Masayuki
sighed as he lied on his bed. He'll find something else to do at home.
Then he heard something. A familiar
sound through the walls, but he couldn't yet identify it. The sound turned
to noise in the blink of an eye, and Masayuki now easily recognized his
parents' voices as they screamed and shouted at each other.
Sitting up and hugging his knees,
Masayuki concluded that it was never too early for a trip to Cyberia. He
whipped out his email-phone (What do you call those things? ^_^;) and quickly
sent a message to Taro.
"Hey man," he wrote. "Do you and
Myu-Myu want to go to Cyberia today? I've got nothing better to do. From
Masayuki" With the press of a button, off went the message.
Now, just a few seconds later, Taro
sent him a message back. "Are you crazy? It's six thirty! Cyberia doesn't
come alive until eight at the earliest. Besides, Myu-Myu and I don't want
to hang around with you anymore, Masayuki." There the message just ended.
"Fine," Masayuki wrote back. After
he sent that brief and final message, he closed his email-phone and got
off his bed to get his jacket. He would go to Cyberia alone that day. Alone
and lost.
~*~
Myu-Myu looked over Taro's shoulder
at what he was writing to Masayuki. She sighed at it, but said nothing.
~*~
Taro was quite right; Cyberia doesn't
come alive until about eight. Masayuki still got there at six forty-five.
He ordered a drink and sat at the table where he, Taro, and Myu-Myu usually
sat. He poked the bottom of the drink glass with his straw, occasionally
drinking out of it. He wondered what Taro and Myu-Myu were doing at that
very moment. He wondered if the friendship they had with him meant anything
to them. He kept doing this until it was about eight thirty, when
the activities in Cyberia actually started. Music started playing, multicolour
lights were moving, people were dancing. Masayuki just sat still, drinking
his Japanese Coke. Ordinarily, he would be doing much more than that. He
would be talking with Myu-Myu and Taro, or talking to someone else. But
he wasn't doing that, was he?
At the other side of the room, a
group of girls looked over at Masayuki. They giggled and whispered about
his wonderful sense of fashion. Then they all giggled to one of them, "Do
it, do it!"
That one girl nodded and walked away
from the group, up to Masayuki. He looked up at her.
She suddenly got very nervous, and
for a few seconds said nothing.
Finally, Masayuki said, "Hello."
"H-Hello," she said. "Umm... Are...
Are you doing anything on Friday? If you aren't, do you want to go out
on a date?"
"Sure, of course!" Masayuki blushed
and smiled.
"Okay! Around seven thirty?" the
girl said, now lacking her nervousness.
Masayuki nodded, and the girl smiled
and ran back to her little group.
Masayuki smiled more to himself.
He looked back at the girl. She kind of looked like Myu-Myu. Then he returned
to drinking his Japanese Coke. (Which is apparently called Vegeba, BTW.
I once went to this place where you could try Coke from different countries,
and I drank some Vegeba. It tasted nice. ^_^)
~*~
Two hours later, at ten fourty-six,
the girl came back to Masayuki. She covered her face with her hands. "I...
I'm sorry, but I can't go out with you on Friday." She paused. "I'm sorry,"
she repeated.
Masayuki sighed to himself. "It's
okay," he said to her.
She removed the parts of her fingers
covering her eyes and looked at him sadly. "I'm sorry," she repeated one
last time, before running off to catch up with her group that was leaving
Cyberia that night.
Masayuki turned back to his drink.
He looked at the bottom of it. He drank some of it.
~*~
A few more hours later, Cyberia's
population started to decrease. Finally, there was only one girl and Masayuki
there. And that girl left.
Masayuki was alone again. Yet he
could never get use to it.
He knew he should go, but he didn't
want to go back. He didn't want to go back to his parents. He didn't want
to go back to school, where he would be going back to Taro and Myu-Myu...
Well, he did want to go back to Myu-Myu. But he'd never have a chance with
her.
So he just stayed there. A few minutes
later, the lights went out, and Masayuki could hear the doors lock. So
of course, now he had no choice but to stay.
He hugged his legs and tried to fall
asleep. But he had dranken Coke, which had caffiene in it, so he figured
that he'd never fall asleep. But he did anyway.
He awakened when he felt the lights
turn back on. He heard distant voices. He couldn't make out what they were
saying.
And then, Masayuki looked to his
left, and in that room stood Myu-Myu and Taro.
"Myu-Myu-chan!" Masayuki exclaimed,
running up to Myu-Myu. He hugged her and, unconsciously, kissed her.
Myu-Myu blushed. Then she tried to
act like her normal self. "Masayuki-chan, you worried us and your mother
sick!" she scolded.
His mother? Masayuki soon saw his
mother come forward and grab his wrist. "Why didn't you tell us where you
were?" she scolded. "It's past your bedtime! Come on, we're going home."
She started to drag him away.
Masayuki looked back at Myu-Myu and
Taro. "You were worried about me?" he asked softly.
Myu-Myu smiled and nodded. Masayuki's
mother yanked on his wrist to go faster before Masayuki could thank Myu-Myu
for finding him.
THE END
Remember, I warned you of the slight
sappiness and romance. I warned you! ^-^
