Kyosuke Kamijo's life seemed perfect at this point. His hand had magically recovered and was playing violin more than ever, he had a lovely and kind girlfriend and his family and school life were going well. Life couldn't be any better right? "I wish." Kyousuke muttered to himself as he walked to school. He had such a nice, easy life and yet something felt as if it were missing. What was missing exactly he wasn't sure.
"Kyosuke!" Someone yelled behind him. Turning around he saw his lovely girlfriend Hitomi Shizuki. Man was he lucky, one of the kindest, richest, and most caring girls in school wanted to date him? She hit all the markers for a perfect girlfriend, loyal, polite, trustworthy, kind, respectful and beautiful. Then why didn't something feel right to him? He stood there patiently waiting for his girlfriend to catch up to him, when loud laughter caught his attention. Looking slightly to the right of Hitomi he saw Sayaka Miki, Madoka Kaname and an unknown boy. Madoka was giggling softly but Sayaka was guffawing, whatever happened must have been hilarious. He turned his attention to the unknown boy, he looked like he was in the middle of telling the greatest story of his life. His arms were waving about, his eyes brightened in delight, and his grin large. His looked as if he had been telling the entire story for the girls reactions based on his to their enjoyment. Something shriveled in his chest when he saw the boy was particularly focused on the bluenette next to him. Hitomi felt the burning pain of jealously when she saw her boyfriend's attention was not on her but on Sayaka a few feet away from her. She relaxed a little however when she saw he looked like he was more focused on the blond boy next to her. Wasn't that the new exchange student? Reaching him, Hitomi tapped his shoulder. "Kyosuke?" The boy came out of his trance startled,
"Sorry Hitomi!" He apologizes, his hands waving in embarrassment.
"It's okay!" She spoke brightly. "You're looking at the exchange student right? I heard about him."
"Yea I've never seen him before." Kyosuke said still slightly lost in thought. Was is Sayaka with him? Unluckily for him, Sayaka spotted them and began dragged Madoka and the boy towards them. His heart leapt a little when he saw her bright smile, but it went away when he saw the boy's blush at their interconnected hands.
"Hey Kyosuke, Hitomi." She said, reaching them. While he politely greeted back, he couldn't help the beating pain at seeing the bluenette's hand still tightly intertwined with the exchange student's.
"Hi Sayaka, Madoka. Who might this be?" Hitomi asked kindly. Somewhat at a relief of seeing a boy with Sayaka. Maybe she was moving on. The boy took the initiative to introduce himself.
"Hi I'm Natsu Shuuya!" He said, smiling brightly. After pleasantries were exchanged and the group of five began walking to the school, Kyosuke couldn't help but ask that internal question to himself once more. Why did he feel sad? His beautiful girlfriend's hand was clutched in his and he couldn't be happier. His friends were happy and it looked like Sayaka was brightening up again. 'Must be Natsu. Looks like she'll have a boyfriend soon enough.' And he told himself he feels happy, she is happy. Then why did that protesting feeling of emptiness say otherwise?
AN-So I know I said I'd make the chapters longer but feel like short chapters is best for this story. So I'll be sticking with around 600 word chapters. Anyway, hope you enjoyed! Thanks for reading!
