(K) Standing outside, the usual thoughts came into my mind: why did my mom do that?
And when I mean that, I mean cheating on my dad before he divorced her. My sister didn't seem to care either.
A small growl escaped my lips as I climbed over the wooden fence and into the neighbor's yard.
There, I sat down on their swing attached to a tree branch. The swing was built a few years back for the younger sibling.
I was the only one usually using it though instead of him.
Frowning, I began to swing a little as I tried to erase the usual thoughts.
(?) "Kyou's out in the yard, dear," my mom called from downstairs.
"Get her off my swings!" my little four year old brother chimed in.
Before he finished saying that, I was already going out. Kyou, my dear childhood friend. My bunny.
"KB!" I greeted to her smiling. (KB is Kyou Bunny.) She looked over and forced a smile in return.
Her olive eyes…they seem agitated.
Walking behind her, I wrapped my arms around her stomach and rested my head on her shoulder.
(K) "Hikaru," I said warmly, placing my hand over his. Hikaru was my best and closest friend, despite being 17.
We grew up together, seeing as how we're neighbors.
"How are you, love?" he asked me. I couldn't help but turn and stare into his bright silver eyes.
They were so beautiful. I felt absorbed in them every time, those eyes of his.
His voice was sweet and gentle, just like he was.
(H) I made a smile at her as she looked deep into my eyes.
My bunny was always attracted to them like a bird with shiny objects.
"I'm…okay…" she hesitated.
I soon lifted her up and sat down on the swing, placing her on my lap.
"Hmm…I'm afraid I don't believe you," I mused.
I knew she was going to admit it now, and I knew I was correct from her sigh.
(K) Sighing, I looked over with a small frown.
"Just the usual, Hikaru," I stated. Immediately, he held me tighter.
I could feel my cheeks getting warmer in reaction. Hikaru probably realized I was half-lying.
I didn't know if I should tell him about Takuto; something held me back.
(H) "Kyou," I stated, only using her name when I scolded her.
She was hiding something from me, and it bothered me. Not to mention make me worry.
"What are you hiding?" I asked bluntly, looking down at her. "Nothing," she responded quickly.
Her eyes could tell otherwise.
"Kyou…"
She stared at the ground, causing my worry to heighten.
(K) "Nothing. I need to go work on home—"
Hikaru suddenly lifted my head with his hand and meet his eyes.
They seemed almost sad…which I never liked.
"You're worrying me. Must I put a collar on you love?" he said in a worried voice.
Before I retorted, he soon smiled and pressed his lips against my forehead.
(H) Releasing my grip on her shortly after, she quickly went back to her house. "Hikaru, talk to you later!"
She acted like nothing was wrong. Sitting on the swing still, I closed my eyes.
I felt worried beyond belief. As much as I wanted to hold her still, I knew I had to let her go.
(K) I keep telling myself it's nothing.
(H) I love her, so I know she's not okay.
(K) Nothing.
