Summary: It's a vicious cycle – breaking up with Yuushi.
It was Monday and Gakuto was crumpled in the locker room corner, knees to chest, head thrown back, pale throat working. It would have been okay if he was imagining Yuushi, hand moving quickly beneath his tennis shorts and cheeks flushed crimson. But it was Monday and Gakuto was crying, pale tears leaking from beneath clenched eyelids, dripping from his chin, wetting the heels of his palms. And Yuushi… Yuushi was nowhere to be seen.
On the Tuesday morning, it was raining, but that was okay too, because Gakuto had forgotten to brush his hair. By ten past four, he'd told himself he didn't care enough times to almost believe it and he'd smiled at the mirror enough times to stop his face from freezing up and looking pained. So on the Tuesday morning, Gakuto was ready to face the day. And Yuushi… Who was Yuushi again?
Wednesday afternoon meant tennis practice. Gakuto loitered for a while, twisting his shirt into knots. He knew he was being stupid, but somehow couldn't stop and it was fifteen minutes later that he sucked in a breath and marched onto the courts. But Yuushi wasn't there. When he asked, Atobe stared holes into his head and opened his mouth reluctantly. Yuushi was sick.
Thursday came. Yuushi didn't look sick at all.
Friday.
Then Saturday.
Sunday.
And Monday again.
Yuushi wasn't coming back.
Gakuto cried.
