Yuu looked back briefly at the forest that was now in the distance. Remembering about what Mika said to him, he went on to look around the school. It was quiet once again, but he could hear voices. It's like they were calling for him.

He entered the building through the front entrance. The lights were on but no one was around.

He went to his classroom to not be surprised when it was empty. He went to his seat and looked at the permanent marker drawing on the top of his desk. Shinoa decided that it was acceptable to draw on his desk when she was bored. Needless to say, they got in trouble.

Oddly enough, he could almost hear her annoying voice telling him about her drawing as she was drawing it. As much as he said he didn't like her, she was his friend and Yuu started to miss his friends.

He looked in his desk and was surprised to see everything was there. He suddenly thought about Mika and pulled out a few of his exercise books to share with the blond. He still held the flowers that Mika gave him but he decided to leave them on Shinoa's desk. She'll probably like them.

Leaving his homeroom classroom, he went around looking at the other classrooms, the offices, the gym and change rooms; he even checked the boys' washrooms. But still, no one was to be found.

Yuu found it hard to imagine anyone was around, but then again it was school and no one likes to hang around the school. Not even the teachers who also seemed to dread the last hour before the bell of dismissal sounded, freeing them all from their daily prison.

Yuu left the building and circled around it twice. Still, no one was found. Yuu was positive it was a Sunday since no one was around.

He walked over to the large tree in the back of the schoolyard and picked up the exercise books he dropped off when he went to look around the school. The books did get pretty heavy after carrying them around for a while.

The books were all different colours. He wondered which ones Mika could see. But he didn't dwell on that question for too long before walking back into the forest.

With his two hands occupied, the trek was slightly more difficult as he was smacked in the face with a branch. He grumbled something under his breath until he made it to the clear patch of land. And just as before, it was empty save for the flowers that grew in patches around the land.

"Miiiiiikaaaaaaaaa," Yuu called out as he stepped into the opening. "Where are youuuuuuuuuuu?"

Yuu looked around but all he saw was trees and the bridge. The bridge that held mysteries that Yuu wanted to solve. He looked around once more before slowly making his way towards the wooden structure. There was nothing special about it. But Yuu could not make out what was on the other end of it, nor could he see the other end. There was a soft glow coming from the other side but not blinding like the sun. But it gave off warmth that made Yuu want to walk towards it, find out what it is.

"Yuu-chan?" He spun around and smiled. The blond looked at him with curiosity before his gaze felt on the books in his arms. "What are those?"

"These are for you," Yuu said as he walked over to the shorter boy. He sat down the soft grass and laid out all the books in front of him. "I found my exercise books so I thought I would share them with you."

"But what if I can't read?" Mika said. Yuu paused with the yellow notebook in his hand and looked up at Mika who was still standing in front of the books. Mika stared back him.

"You can't read?"

"No, I can." Silence followed the answer before the two boys started laughing. Neither knew what was so funny but it just felt right in the moment. After the laughter subsided, Yuu started explaining what each of the books were. He had seven books in total but he only brought five with him. Mika still appreciated the thought.

Mika was able to distinguish the green and red books, but the other three was lost on him as they all appeared to be different shades of grey. Yuu tried to explain some of the content inside so that Mika could tell them apart even without the colour coding, but it ended up being the blond explaining back to him what he wrote. Mika was surprising good at the Japanese workbook as he corrected Yuu's work as he read the written words.

Yuu didn't know how long it was but he heard the voices again. But it was different. They were clearer than before but he still couldn't tell who it was. He felt like he knew who the voices belonged to but he needed to get closer to heard them.

"Yuu-chan." At the call of his name, he looked back at Mika who was staring down at the Japanese workbook. "What colour is this again?"

"Yellow?" he replied. Mika continued to stare at the book.

"Yellow… Is this what yellow looks like?" All his previous thoughts were pushed aside as he smiled brightly at his friend.

"You can see it?!" Yuu exclaimed excitedly and Mika nodded slowly.

"I think so. Green, red, yellow," Mika said in the order he put the book in front of him. "Am I right?"

"Yes!" Yuu shouted as he flung himself at Mika, engulfing the smaller boy in a tight hug. "You can see another colour now!"

Mika didn't respond but hugged back. Yuu continued to laugh and shout about how cool that was. He honestly wanted to share something with Mika, he did not intend for it to help Mika see colours again.

"I heard the voices again!" Yuu said as he held Mika at arm's length. The blond looked surprised for a moment before the warm smile he normally carried returned. "I'll bring back something else for you again!"

"Thank you Yuu-chan," Mika said and Yuu smiled in response.

"That's what friends are for!" Yuu said before standing up again. "Don't go anywhere! I'm going to come back!"

Before Mika could respond, Yuu ran off into the dense forest. Mika smiled and looked down at the books scattered on the grassy field. He picked up the yellow notebook. Running his hands on the smooth paper texture, he couldn't help but smile. One by one he lost the ability to see colours, but for the first time, he gained back a colour. Yellow.

Seeing how excited Yuu was made him really giddy and happy to. Yuu was the happiest person he met in this world. He frowned at the thought. Yuu didn't belong here, he deserved to go back. And after he leaves, Mika will be alone again.
