Summary: Just a walk home together. Hirusena.
Disclaimer: I don't own.
I noticed that when you're in love, nothing could stop you from thinking about that special person, even the silliest thing could drives your thought to a certain person. Yes, even a simple, frilly white apron can reminds you of someone…… alright, that doesn't remind you of anything, but it does to me.

A red rose cheeks
A drop of tear
to weep
Reminds me of you.

Kobayakawa Sena picked up a white apron that was lying innocently on his floor. He holds in his arm's length using two fingers. A few days ago, Anezaki Mamori gave it to him along with a bottle of Vaseline. First, the smiling face of Mamori appeared in his mind, followed with Suzuna's face. And then his face began heating up as those faces disappear, and the third face came. He dropped the apron and slaps his face using both hands.

A
long side a sigh
A long side of cry

Trying to block his train of thought, he quickly looks outside. He walked toward the window, watching the scenery. That day was hot, so it's just natural it's raining tonight. Ah, it reminds him, it's always raining when the main character is crying in those cliché stories. Why? 'Well…' he thought '..that doesn't matter….' Come to think of it, everyone cries right? 'Is there anyone who doesn't cry?' he asked himself, and then suddenly the answer appeared in his mind, '…that reminds me…..Hiruma-senpai…….' He placed his head on his crossed arms and closed his eyes. Needless to say, he fell asleep in the next five minutes.

soft summer rain, a smile that hides a pain

ashamed?

-The next evening after the club practice-
"Yaa~ it's raining today…" Suzuna said, looking outside the club house, looking disappointed, "And I didn't bring my umbrella…." She said and sighed.
It started raining right after their practice ended, about five minutes ago or so, and their sweaty clothes don't help anything, only make it colder. They thought it would be alright if they wait until the rain so here they are, standing (or crouching) in front of the clubhouse, watching the rain, waiting for it to stops.
"I hate rains", Suzuna mumbled, Sena, who accidentally heard it turned around, "If there's rain, I cant play outside. Why must it exists anyway?" she continued to herself. At this, Sena's thoughts fly back to the night before.
'Indeed, why must rain exist? Just like tears, isn't it useless?'
"That's not good, Suzuna-chan, after all, rain gives us water, the source of life." Said a voice close by, both of them ( plus Monta who just came) turned around to see Mamori walking toward them with an umbrella in her hand. She just came from the committee meeting. She moved her umbrella once she's under the clubhouse's roof.

A little
rain must fall

"You could walk home with me, Suzuna, it's big enough for the two of us," she said, gesturing to the umbrella she put on the ground, still open, ready to use. At this, Suzuna cheered. Mamori turned to Sena and looked at him worriedly, then she says, "What about you Sena? Didn't you bring any umbrella? Should I pack one for you starting tomorrow?" she asked worriedly, Sena only shook his head quickly.
Mamori Anezaki used to bring two umbrellas, two handkerchiefs, and two lunch boxes, in case Sena forgotto bring his. But since the day Sena made his own lunch ( plus one for Hiruma), Mamori stopped to do that.
"Ah….it's alright, Mamo-nee, I'll wait until the rain stopped…" said Sena, rubbing the back of his neck, Mamori just hummed, thinking, then she took a quick glance toward the sky and says,
"By that time, it'd be dark already…..oh!" she gasped, somewhat surprised, then turned toward Suzuna, there was a long pause, and they grinned. Somehow, somehow Sena had a really bad feeling.
"M-make ssssuureee you got sssso….sssommme…someone…to w-w-w-walkkk you home, ok-kkayy?" said Suzuna in between her giggles. Mamori only chuckled, she took her umbrella, and took a step away, then wait for Suzuna to take her belongings.
"This weather is kind of nice, so you should stop by to smell flowers on your way," she said, smiling kindly, (in which Suzuna cheerily added "and let a big bad wolf devour you, Sena!! It's a promise, okay!!?") then she dragged Suzuna along with her. Unable to think of anything else, Sena and Monta only wave toward them.

"Hee…..so you made that kind of promise…..you're a kind guy to the max…" said Monta , took a glance toward Sena then averted his gaze back to his shoes, it's not tied properly. Sena hung his head, sighing.
"….Yea….even thought it's on sided, since it's a promise, there's no helping, I should do it. That's why, Monta, let's go home together! I could only ask you!" it's only two minutes after Mamori and Suzuna left, but the school is almost empty. Kurita and Komusubi already went home (each brought their own umbrella, but it's impossible for Sena to walk with any of them, as big as the umbrella might be, it's not enough for them), the three brothers already gone, running home against the rain (saying that there's a great fight that they wanted to see or something) so it's only the two of them chatting…..and Hiruma inside the club house.
"Mmm…..fine with me…..ah, sorry…" he said when his phone beeped, signaling that there's a new message. New text message, open. Read. Eyes went wide. Tears welled on his eyes. He jumped. So many expressions from Monta, but Sena could only stare, dumbfounded.
"I'M SORRRYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!" Monta yelled, only to be answered by shooting sounds from Hiruma's machine gun from the club house (all of the club member agreed that they need to change the door and windows to the bullet proof ones, and so they did, after gathering the money yen by yen). "I'm sorry, Sena, I can't walk you home, it's urgent! MAX!!" he said hurriedly, panic written all over his face, he took his belongings and run off. "I'm really sorry, max!!!" he yelled again while running. Sena could only stare.

There's
truth behind a cry
And there's
a cry behind a lie

The only person left that could walk him home (but possibly wouldn't) is Hiruma Youichi. Farewell, Sena, we hope you would be fine in the after life.

'Scream, Sena! Scream! Let out your pent-up frustration!' ordered his brain, and Sena did as he told. He screamed. Annoyed, Hiruma came out of the club house after kicking the door open, a heavy gun in hands.
"SHUT UP YOU FCKING SHORTY!!!!!!!" and sounds of bullets being shot and loaded accompanying the boy's scream in the rain.
"Huwaaaaaaaaaaaaai'msosorrrryyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
………………………………………………..
There's only the sound of water coming down from the sky, nothing more, no words were being exchanged. It's awkward, not the kind of silence that you would get by being close with the person you know, it's the kind of silence that you feel when you think you failed at conversation with the person you just meet. It's as thought, they were strangers.
A glance was all Sena could do before he shook his head and shuddered. To ask him or to not ask him? Which do you choose?
Drown in confusion, Sena could only move his mouth. Opened. Closed. Opened. Closed. "Just keep your mouth shut and go home already, you fcking shorty." Said Hiruma, followed by the clicking sound behind Sena's Head.
"Ah! A-ano….Hiruma-senpai…..about that….can you…can you…. I mean….." stumbling for words, Sena dared himself to stole a glance to the blonde.
"Just spit it out already!" commanded the devil, pushing his gun onto Sena's head, to make it in a slight bow position (also making Sena let out a faint 'Hiiiyyyy….'). to avoid being pushed anymore, Sena turned his head so that he could looking directly at Hiruma's eyes.
"Can …can…." The truth is, Sena wanted to say 'Can we walk home together?' but he accidentally said "Can you walk me home?" he said, and then felt the urge to just shoot himself. Silence……
"……what are you? A fcking five years old?"
Correct that, now Sena really feels that he wanted to cry. Hiruma let out a 'Humph' then walked toward the door while Sena is drowning in his sadness. Sena heard the sound of the door being opened, but since he didn't hear the door being closed, he lifted his head to see his senior's walking back. The so called senpai turned his head, looking completely annoyed.
"Didn't you just fcking ask me to walk you home, you fcking shrimp?"
Sena's cheeks heated up and his face brightened immediately, he took his bag and stood, then started running toward Hiruma, all the while smiling widely

A.N: No, it's not finished yet. And the song that I used hadn't ended yet (Oh, it's called 'Truth, Cry, Lie' by Letto). Sorry for the crappy grammar. Seems like it would be done in the next chapter, or the next after. Thanks for reading!
