-Page Break-
When Kamijou Hiroki had checked his mail on that sunny Sunday morning, he wasn't expecting a letter -well, postcard- from his absent lover.
He had crouched down, his back leaning against the door for support, as he shakily opened the envelope. He hadn't heard from his lover in a year, so he was nervous as to what the contents of the envelope held. Had Nowaki been in a tragic accident? Was this the letter that broke his relationship that he had with Nowaki?Or, maybe, it was a letter explaining his sudden disappearance with a heartfelt apology. Hiroki could only hope that it was the last option.
He was caught between crossroads over actually reaching into the envelope and reading the letter or trash it and pretend that he had never received it in the first place. Unfortunately, he knew the latter would never settle with him, and five minutes later he would dive to the trash and dig out the letter.
He just had to be a big boy and reach into the envelope now instead of making a fool of himself by digging in the trash desperately, trying to find the letter later. With a deep, shuddering breath he tore out the letter. Wait, this wasn't a letter!
It was a stupid postcard with some stupid palm tree picture on the beach with the words, SEE YOU SOON, written on the picture in all caps. He flipped it over with narrowed eyes as he skimmed over what Nowaki had written. He was coming back home from New York in a week.
New York?! He left Japan, without a trace to go visit New York, with no word to Hiroki? He didn't even leave an explanation as to why he left with such urgency that he could even wake Hiroki up to tell him. He explained nothing!
Hiroki narrowed his eyes at the postcard, hoping that it would burn a hole through it, but couldn't physically bring himself to rip the card into shreds. It had Nowaki's neat hand writing on it, and the date he was coming back. Plus, it was a sign that Nowaki was still thinking about him, that he might still be in love with him, that they weren't over. They still had a chance to make it through this.
Hiroki couldn't help the small smile that graced his lips at his next thought. Nowaki was coming home, Nowaki was returning to him.
