Chapter 0 - Evanescence

" ... this rain won't stop ... "
Today, it was raining pretty heavily outside Tendo High School. It was a little pass the time to leave, except someone kinda forgot something today. His name was Yuuya Kumada. He was walking in the halls, searching for his friend from the student council, Kyosuke Himonya.

" ... ... ... "
Kyosuke was looking at the rain outside, as he was inside his classroom. The door slowly opened and Yuuya joined him inside the classroom, closing the door behind him. He walked towards his friend.

" Man, Kyosuke, I am beat " said Yuuya
" What's with you ? " replied Kyosuke with a faint smile, looking at him. " You usually don't stick around on rainy days like this "
Yuuya looked kinda embarrassed and said " I forgot my umbrella. Please tell me you happened to stick a spare one in your locker ?"
" I see. You should have just declined to attend today's meeting, if that was the case ... " replied the member of the student council. Yuuya had the habit of attending to the student council's meeting, even if he wasn't a member himself.
Kyosuke walked towards him and gave him his umbrella. " Thanks " replied Yuuya as he took it.

Then, Yuuya looked ... kinda worried at Kyosuke.
" Hey, Kyosuke ... "
" Yes ?"
" Do you feel ... out of place here ?" he kindly asked
" ... what do you mean ?" asked Kyosuke with a faint smile. " Is that why you stayed behind today ?"
" Quit dodging my question. Ever since I entered this school, you've always been like that. I'd see you sitting there with a bored look on your face, and yet every time I tried to approach you about it, you'd just laugh me off. Stop it. I need you to be serious "

Kyosuke closed his eyes and let out a sigh. " You sure do love to butt into others' lives " he said, his eyes opened.
" Kyosuke !"
" Hey, don't get mad. Honestly, I can't say I quite feel 'out of place'. In fact, I'd say it's the opposite. School life here has become routine already. It's mundane "
" Like you 'don't fit in ?' " asked Yuuya with a sympathetic smile.
" Who knows ?" he simply replied, pushing his glasses upwards. " Speaking plainly, I don't get cozy with the locals. I know none of them would like me if they knew me "

Yuuya looked worried again after hearing what Kyosuke just said.
Kyosuke let out a slight nervous giggle. " Lighten up, it's not that serious ... don't worry about it. I haven't hidden anything from you before, and I don't intend to in the future "
" ... cross your heart ?" replied Yuuya, to which Kyosuke replied by " Yeah, Yeah, and hope to die "

Yuuya smiled. " Cool ... then let's head home "
Then, he backed off a bit, looking pretty frustrated and embarassed. " ... AW, CRAP !"
" What's wrong ?" asked Kyosuke
" I forgot my bag ! Damn, I was such a rush that I forgot to grab it. Mind waiting a sec ?"
Kyosuke slightly giggled. " Ever the absent-minded one, hm ? You should worry about yourself before worrying about the others "
Yuuya looked embarrassed, and replied angrily. " Sh-Shut up !"
" Sure sure, take your time. I'll just wait here "
Yuuya then left the room in rush, leaving Kyosuke alone in this classroom.

" ... Sheeesh, he really does butt into other people's lives "
