One Day More
I smiled as I walked down the road to Manjoume's house. I may have liked Johan a lot, but that never changed my feelings for Manjoume. I still liked him much, much more than Johan. Johan and I had been secretly sleeping together for the past four months now. Two months ago, Manjoume started to become really distant. After a whole day of not giving me eye contact or talking to me, I decided to go to his house to see what had been bothering him.
"I never realized what an impact Manjoume had become on me," I chuckled. I debated whether my feelings for Johan were actually stronger than my feelings for Manjoume, but I never thought about it much. The main point was that I liked them both, maybe even loved them.
Once I reached his house, I slowly raised my fist and fixed my eyes on the door. Now that I thought about it, this had been the first time I've ever come to Manjoume's house. He's been over mine before though. I wonder why he never let me come over before. A sly smirk came on my face. What could he be hiding? He smiled as he knocked on the door.
"I'll get it," a voice called out. Manjoume's voice, I thought immediately. The door slowly opened, and I took a small step back. Manjoume stood at the doorway staring at me with blank eyes. Suddenly, realization must have hit him because his eyes visibly widened.
"Hey Manjoume," I smiled brightly.
"J-Judai," he stuttered.
I giggled, "That's my name, don't wear it out."
I winked a bit, but Manjoume just stood there gaping at me. Another voice soon caught my attention.
"Who is it, Manjoume-kun?" a voice called out. My eyes widened when I saw Shou walk towards me without a shirt on. Hickeys relaxed themselves on his neck. That's when I realized Manjoume's shirt had been put on backwards. People may call me naïve, but I'm not that stupid.
Shou gasped when he saw me and bit his lip, "H-hey Aniki."
"H-hey…" I mumbled as my head began to bend low. "Um… sorry for interrupting you guys. I'll go now. See you at school."
With that, I took off. Tears came to my eyes as I ran. I had no clue where I had been headed. I just knew I had to run. Run faster, faster, and faster. My eyes shut tightly as I continued to run. Darkness surrounded me, and oxygen seemed short. I breathed in only to quickly breathe out. That's right, I thought to myself, focus on your breathing and you'll forget everything. Something suddenly grasped my wrist, pulling me towards it. My head suddenly met with a chest. I glanced up to see Johan there staring down on me.
"What are you doing here?" I mumbled in an emotionless tone.
"Shopping for groceries when I saw you run by," he whispered softly. I nodded slowly.
"So your boyfriend cheated on you?" he repeated. I slowly nodded, staring down at the coffee he bought me.
"Yeah…" I whispered softly.
He chuckled a bit, "Funny how you cheat on him yet when you find out he cheated on you, you cry."
"Don't say it as if it's funny," I snapped at him.
He chuckled again, "I'm not saying it's funny. I'm saying it's ironic."
"I know it is," I sighed. Sadness flooded through me once again. How could I be so stupid? That's why Manjoume had become so distant. He had started dating my best friend, and I had been completely oblivious.
"Judai, don't worry," Johan whispered softly. "You will find a new boyfriend soon."
I shook my head, "No! I don't want a new boyfriend! I want… I want…"
"You want?" he questioned.
I blushed and whispered, "I want you to be my boyfriend…"
He blinked and looked startled for a moment or two. He blinked once again, "You… have feelings for me?"
I nodded slowly as tears came to my eyes, "I have ever since we decided to do this… the whole sleeping around thing. Please tell me you have feelings for me as well. Please!"
He slowly nodded and kissed my cheek, "I do."
"Thank you," I whispered as I sobbed into his chest. "Thank you."
Soft arms wrapped around me as I continued to sob into his chest. He kissed my forehead while I starred up at him with saddened eyes.
I sighed as I took a small bite into my sandwich. My eyes drifted towards the peaceful sky as I stared at it longingly. I knew that I needed to make Manjoume leave my heart, but I couldn't do that. I knew for a fact that I would always have him in my heart. Maybe not as a boyfriend but as a friend. I would like it if I could do that.
"Thinking of Manjoume?" a voice spoke up. I smiled softly knowing that voice from a million other voices. I smiled softly and turned to Johan who smiled back at me. He sat down, his body pressing itself against mine, and smiled softly.
"Maybe," I giggled a bit. He frowned a bit, but it disappeared the moment I saw it. Jealousy maybe? I shook my head and stared at him.
"I don't like that kid," he sighed. "He acts like a know it all brat."
I smirked, "And he used to date me."
"Yeah that too," Johan chuckled. I stared directly into his eyes. I searched for the love in his eyes, the caring. I found none. A frown settled upon my face.
I sighed, "You don't love me or like me, do you?"
His eyes widened, "What do you mean, Judai? Of course I-"
"Don't lie," I told him sternly. He sighed and ran his fingers through his blue hair.
"No," he confessed. "I don't. I'm sorry, Judai; I just see you as a little kid. I can't like someone like you."
I sighed, "I know, but I won't give up. I am going to make you fall in love with me one day."
His eyes widened as he chuckled, "You know what, Judai, I hope you succeed as well."
He kissed my forehead before leaving the roof top. A small smile lifted on my lips as I watched him go. I blinked when the wind began to blow. Blonde hair exposed itself from the door. I slowly stood up and gasped. A girl stood there with her eyes completely wide. I remembered her from my science class.
"A-Asuka…" I whispered with wide eyes.
"H-hi…." she bit her lip. We both stood there staring at each other.
Kyle: Never mind.
Emily: You changed your mind about ending the story?
Kyle: Pretty much.
Emily: Idiot.
Kyle: What?
Emily: Anyway, this story hasn't ended yet! The next chapter will come later!
Next time: Asuka knows the secret.
