Longing Heart


Long time ago, there was a man who fell in love with another man. He confessed, and soon, the two of them become together as they felt the comfort between them. Day by day passed, and they lived peacefully along with their unending love.

But, one day, a war broke out from their village. The man's lover was killed, and he fell into a deep sorrow. Feeling guilty that he wasn't able to protect his loved one, he screamed on top of his lungs and called for a goddess. His tears rained the bloody ground, and the goddess heard his prayers.

The man asked to bring his lover's life back, and the goddess hesitated. She told him it was almost impossible, but he told her, that she will gave anything even if it cost his life, just to save his lover.

And so, the exchange was made.

His lover will be reborn to the world, and at their next life, they will be able to meet. But, none of the wish come free. In exchange, his lover won't be able to love him no matter what, and the man agreed. His will to save the person he loved most is stronger than everything in the world. Looking at the smiling face of his lover was more than enough, even he can't have the relationship like before.

Then, the goddess let them into a peaceful slumber, waiting for the time when they will be born once more.


"Seriously, I told you that I went to investigate the haunted hospital. It was dark, and I saw a shadow-"

"Rin! Please, stop it! It's scary!"

"Geez, Mako-chan! Rin-chan lied about that, you know! Oh, but maybe it was the truth, I can saw something on your back!"

"Not you too, Nagisa!"

"Shut up, you guys bothering the customers."

Empty plates gently lifted from the table and a blue eyed man went back to the kitchen. A brunette sighed, placing his hand on his chest while the other two grinned at each other like some idiots.

"Come on now, Makoto. Why are you so scared? Sorry, I didn't mean to tease you that far." The redhead smiled apologetically at the brunette named Makoto, who shook his head in a forgiving manner. "Nagisa! You say sorry too."

"Sorry Mako-chan! But, I can see something behind your back, you know." Nagisa grinned widely as his magenta colored eyes glimmered with mischief. He could see Makoto tensed and looked behind him.

A young man with blue eyes from earlier stood behind him with a raised eyebrow. The brunette exhaled a relieved breath. "It's Haru-chan."

"Don't add -chan to my name." Haruka muttered under his breath. The four of them sat down and formed a circle around the table, enjoying their meal. "I can't stay too long, so, go home already." He said with a straight face as he glanced at his wrist watch. The other nodded in agreement and the brunette was the one who excused himself first.

"I need to get something for dinner, so, I will head back now. See you later, Haru, Nagisa, and Rin." The emerald colored eyes stared at his friends before he turns back and made his way to the convenience store.

The redhead sighed. But he went off his seat and yawned. "Yeah, I gotta go too. Anyway, Haru, you should check on Makoto. He keep clenching his chest lately." Rin waved at the blond and the black haired male. He went into his patrol car and drove back to his station.

Nagisa turned to see Haruka, and they exchanged a few glances. "Did Mako-chan get hurt? I never know he got heart issues."

"He didn't. It's his habit since we are a kid. He said sometimes it hurt-"

"Did you tell him to go to doctor yet?"

Haruka went quiet and shook his head slowly. The blond sighed and closed his eyes. "Well, I'm going back then! Call me later, Haru-chan!"

"I don't want to."

"So mean!"


Makoto walked out from the store with a paperbag filled by food on his left hand. He looked up at the sky and noticed that it already dark. He never liked a dark place, not even once. So he decided to hurry back home, to the place where he could find comfort, and where he could relax without being scared of something lurking in the dark.

His steps was fast and the wide is quite big, since he got a very long feet. Puffs of air came out from his nose and mouth, then he realize that the weather already became pretty cold. He didn't bring a thicker jacket since it was quite warm at noon.

When he finally get to his apartment, he sighed and opened the door with his free hand. Though, because of the cold, his hand trembled and it ends up making him dropping the keys.

It fell down with a loud clatter. And somehow, it echoed through the hallway. Was his place always this quiet?

Makoto bend down to grab the keys. He lifted his head, noticing that there was a man by the stair. An alarm rang inside his head, and he quickly unlocked the door to get in before anyone saw him.

He just realized that someone followed him on his way home.

"This is not good. I should..probably call Rin."


"You sure it's okay for me to be here, Haru?" Rin stirred the brown liquid in his glass, making sure the sugar and the coffee blended well before he went to drink it. His red colored eyes trailed to the figure who went to approach him.

"Yeah, it's fine. It's closing time so no one's around." The raven sat next to Rin, placing a plate of cookies he made for a night time snack. Haruka leaned on the man beside him, letting his muscles relax.

Rin smiled at the very rare behavior. The redhead placed down his glass and wrapped his hand around the smaller man, pulling him into an embrace. "What's wrong? You keep making that troubled face since I went here. Is it about what I said to you at noon?"

"Kinda."

The hug went tighter and Rin buried his nose in the dark colored locks beneath him. "Sorry, I'm just worried, I guess. Makoto's the type who prioritize other person more than himself. So... we never know if he got sick, or even when he's feeling down."

Haruka tilted his head upward, looking at the ruby eyes as his mind wandered for a little while. "I'm worried too. He's more quiet than before." The raven let out a sigh. He realized that their worry will grew deeper if no one dares to ask the brunette. Though, he's sure that Makoto will try to avoid the topic. But interrogating is Rin specialty, he will make sure it goes well.

A buzz from the table snapped them out of their comfort. Rin gave the raven an apologetic kiss and he reached out his hand to grab his vibrating phone. His eyebrow raised at the name flashed on the screen.

"Rin?"

"It's Makoto." He answered the call, eyes narrowed at the panicked voice of the brunette. "Makoto? What-"

"Rin, can you go to my place? Someone has been kicking my door and I don't know how long it's going to hold!"

"Got it. Barricade it with something sturdy like a table or your sofa. I'm heading there now." The redhead grabbed his jacket and turned around to look at Haruka. "I will be back." he said, and the other nodded, muttering that he will catch up with Rin once he locked down the place.

"Please be safe, Makoto."
