CLICK!
Fushimi stiffled a yawn as he threw away his covers onto the wooden floor. Rubbing his eyes tiredly, he adjusted his blurry visions. Flashes of his dreams appeared in his mind. A smile crept onto his face at the thought of his dream. What's in his dream was enough to make him happy, enough to make him smile, and enough to get rid of his loneliness.
Its silly to think that a dream can make someone smile.
Dreams are just dreams. They are figments of our thoughts combined with our imaginations, creating a whole a new imaginary dimension. His trains of thoughts stopped abruptly as his phone rang. He was quiet suprised that somebody actually called him. Never in his life has anyone called nor texted him, let alone talk to him. Putting his glasses in place, he grabbed his phone and unlocked it. The light of the screen reflected on his glasses, showing the caller's ID as it reads
Yata.
Not wanting to make his friend waiting, he picked it up and held it close to his ear. Taking deep breath and releasing it at once, he greeted his friend on the other line,
"Ohayou, Yata-san. What can I help you with?"
"SARU! Where the hell are you!? We're gonna be late, idiot! "
Fushimi groaned at Yata's booming voice through the phone. His ears felt they were about to go deaf at that very moment. He took a deep breath and held his phone a few inches away from his ear.
"Yata-san, I'm at home and its 6 o'clock in the morning. We still have much time to-"
"Just get you lazy butt over here! Its freezing! HURRY! DON'T MAKE ME WAIT ANY LONGER SARU!"
BEEP!
Before he could even reply, Yata hung up, leaving him confused and curious at the sudden call. He took another glance at the alaram on his bedside table as it reads 6.15 AM.
'Yata-san is a morning person all the sudden. I wonder what's going on.' He thought.
For no apparent reason, his gaze trailed off to the calendar. 14th February was marked with red pen in a circular motion, meaning that 14th February is an important date. 'But what?' He didn't remember marking that date, especially the reason why he even marked that date. Confusion takes over and he decided to let it slide and perhaps ask Yata, his friend.
It has been days after they met and they've grown quiet close to each other as well. Fushimi would always sit alone at class, cafeteria, etc. But Yata would always come over and accompany him. The reason why he did that was still a mystery for Fushimi. Surely Yata was much more popular among the pupils for his high self-esteem, making him adored by many, but Fushimi never understood why Yata would still hang out with him even though he has lots of other friends waiting for him.
Then came the day when they were having lunch at the rooftop on routine, but on that very day, Fushimi did something beyond they routine.
He asked Yata a question.
A question that he's been dying to ask.
A question that could relish the curiosity within him.
"Yata-san, why are you always accompanying me? Don't you think I'm a loner or some sort?"
The question sounded rather silly to others, but to Fushimi, it was a serious question. He had to take out every courage he had to ask that simple question he's been dying to know. Yata swallowed his vegetables and stared at him quizzically as if the answer has been in front of him all along. A small, childish smile graced his lips as he nudged Fushimi's shoulder lightly, before saying :
"EH? Because you're my friend, Saru! That's what!"
Fushimi's pupils immediately widen, small tears of joy developed in his eyes, making his blue orbs shiney and glittery. A smile came into the blue haired teen's lips. He murmed something, barely inaudible, but Yata had never failed to notice his friends behaviour as he said,
"Yata-san, arigatou..."
"Heh! Don't mention it! You're my friend, and friends never leave each other, right?"
Fushimi's smile grew wider. Those words may sounded like nonsense to other's, but within his ears, he heard affection and care. He felt it. He finally felt it. All of his loneliness, solitude, sorrow, washed away by a simple sentence that came out from somebody who actually cares about him, acknowledging his existence. He felt free, alive, and... happy.
Both teens continued their lunch in silence, unbeknownst to the chestnut haired teen, his companion was over-joyed to even hold that feeling. The smile never left his lips, instead they grew wider.
And so, they continued their day as it is.
That's when 14th February came.
Fushimi's eyes widen, he regained his memories on why he had marked that date.
He was the reason why he had marked that date.
He was the reason why he smiles more often.
And he was the one who truly cares about him.
Without a minute to spare, he immediately took a quick bath, made toast and went straight to the train station where his fellow mate would be waiting for him.
His heart beats faster and faster as he approached the train station. His eyes caught a sight of a chestnut haired teen, eyes on the phone, one hand in his pocket, leaning on the wall, and an expression of annoyance could easily be seen on his face.
"Yata-san! Gomen! I was caught up with my mind, so-"
"SARU! Its freeeezzziiinnggg hereee! Let's just go already!"
"Um... O-Okay."
They went to the train and sat across each other. Fushimi held onto the strap of his bag due to his nervousness. Yata noticed it but chose to ignore it, pretending not to know about the nervousness his friend was radiating. Fushimi looked out to the window, students were still outside, getting in line before going inside the train. While waiting for the train to go off, Fushimi used this opportunity to talk to Yata.
"Y-Yata-san.." Fushimi looked up to meet Yata's hazel orbs. His heart stopped at the sight. He felt like he was about to pass out at the view.
"Hm? What is it Saru?" Fushimi's heart beats faster. He suppressed the urge to hyperventilate in front of his friend to make things less awkward.
"H-Happy valentines day..."
And there he had said it.
There was a moment of silence. Pink hue immediately dusted Yata's cheeks. The hazel gazed teen glanced outside the window and sighed dreamily at the view of the sky before him, trying to shake away the funny feeling swirling inside him. Yata didn't know what that feeling was, but it only appears when he's around Fushimi. Leaving Fushimi alone crossed his mind once, but he didn't want to do that. Fushimi was his friend, and friends never leave each other. He kept his gaze on the window, hiding his flushed face from his friend, not wanting any misunderstanding between them. He smiled shyly to himself and replied,
"Happy valentines day to you too, Saru!"
