Day 4
Kano
A stolen ring
It was beautiful and the gem sparkled like the sun. The small golden band around it was her size, fitting perfectly into her slender fingers, glowing under the slightly dim lights on the park. The man she loved was crouching down, his face filled with bruises and cuts, constantly catching his breath and puffed small clouds of breath around his face. He seemed tired, as if he was being… chased.
Something was wrong, and she could hear a small click inside her head. The woman crouched down in front of him, her dark iris meeting his slightly lighter ones. She took the ring off her finger as she clasped his bruised hands tightly, the ring curled up inside his fingers. Her lips parted slightly, a sad smile painted on her lips.
"I love you, Shuuya," she starts. "I really do, but you don't have to steal a ring to prove it."
The man frowned, knowing her true feelings behind those words. He slowly took the ring and placed it inside his pockets. He can't return them, not after being chased away like that. He can't give it to her, she'll punch him if he does that. Smiling softly, he turned to face her, the foreheads touching as she caressed his cheek lovingly.
He loves her, and he swears to do anything it takes to make her happy.
Even if it meant stealing a ring from the jewelry store.
Squirrel
Two days ago, he brought a puppy back home. Yesterday, he brought a box of kittens back home. This time it was a squirrel.
He blinks at them, browsing through a million thoughts inside his head. The cat eyed boy stared as the green hooded boy tries his best to explain what happened to him. He didn't mind whatever his best friend brought back as a 'gift', he actually finds it amusing, in its own unique way.
The only problem was her.
Kido Tsubomi wasn't much of an animal lover, she practically hates them. He remembers how she made Seto cry when they were kids. He snickered at the thought, and lets Seto bring the squirrel into his room.
Besides, who says he can't use animals to tease her when she sleeps?
Eyes
I used to hate these eyes, and now I'm overusing them.
Is this a good thing? Maybe, but I don't know the correct answer myself. Shintaro-kun would probably know, but he's too preoccupied with… whatever the problem that made him a hikiNEET like that.
These eyes, they can deceive anyone, they also let me observe with extra detail while keeping a nice façade to avoid any suspicion.
These eyes are the only things that could protect me.
These eyes are the only things that could help me.
These eyes are the only things that could save me.
Just like how it saved me a million times before.
I'm sure it will save me even in the future.
Using these eyes means that I have to lie.
Lie.
Lie.
Lie.
Lie.
Lie.
Lie until I die.
I need to protect myself, and to do that I need to lie.
Lie.
Lie.
"Keep on lying."
Of all the things in the world,
… Lying is my specialty.
Paint
That day, Shintaro came running to his house, panting heavily as he gripped his pants tightly. Shuuya lifts his eyebrow slightly. What is this grown man doing?
"Kano.." the man panted. "I need your… help."
"With what?" he asks curiously.
"Paint…" Wait, did he hear that correctly?
"I'm running out of paint! I know you have some!" Shintaro suddenly exclaimed with his full might.
The blonde man blinked, and laughed.
"Why do you think I have paint?"
"You're a distributor."
Kano cursed inwardly at himself. This hikiNEET sure knows his resources.
A/N: The last one is kinda random, thanks to a sudden headcanon popping out of nowhere. Sorry for the first OOC drabble.
