Friend and Foe
"Sanada, I've found myself a girlfriend."
His friend had had several girlfriends in the past, and that one time was no surprise to him. He wasn't the type to change girlfriend so occasionally, but he knew, he knew that Yukimura never felt any sort of attachment toward any one of them no matter how long the relationship lasted. Therefore, he wasn't surprised.
But he'd had enough.
His smile only remained for the first few days, and it vanished like it never existed. It had always been like that. The relationships continued with his insincere smile along with his emotional struggle. Yukimura was kind, he knew it, so of course his friend wouldn't want to hurt the other party because of his own selfish reason.
But it wasn't selfish. Breaking up with your partner was never selfish, as long as it was the right thing to do. Pampering your partner without any sort of affection for your own satisfaction was selfish. It was cowardice.
He couldn't bear to see his friend so pathetically struggling like that. So, he'd had enough. Yukimura was kind, but enough was enough.
That was the thought of Sanada; he had to do something about it. But, could he really do something? Seeing his friend in so much agony was the worst thing he could ever hope for. Yukimura was having the biggest struggle in his life. His smile was never as brilliant as it used to, and he just looked distracted from all of his surrounding. For that reason, he might stand it.
A good friend, wasn't he?
Her name was Nagisa, just Nagisa. She said she didn't want them to know each other so personally, and he agreed. He introduced himself as Seiichi and Seiichi only, not the Child of God, the captain of Rikkai Dai tennis team, nor a loser. Being strangers wasn't a bad idea.
Dating a stranger wasn't a bad idea.
Even though they had agreed of not intruding each other's personal affair, they still exchanged cellphone numbers and email addresses for convenience purposes – after all, they were supposedly dating. Yukimura said he lived in Kanagawa, for that reason he might not see her so frequently as she lived in Tokyo, but he would try to visit her from time to time, and so did she.
He also revealed that he was a middle school senior, much to her surprise. Yukimura had that aura of maturity, so she never thought that he was actually younger than her by two years. She, on the other hand, was a high school sophomore. They didn't tell each other of the school they went to, scared that it might get too personal.
All in all, they only knew about each other's age, number, email address, the place where they lived, and name. No more no less. Would things work out?
A/N: chapter three! Short also, right?
