Haru's POV
I looked at Yuki's sleeping, serene face as I remembered what had happened within the past two days: being told Yuki had lost his memories, then waking up later to hear Hatori talking to Yuki in the office upstairs. Later on, I saw Yuki enter the room, tears rolling violently down his cheeks as he fell to the floor. I rushed forward without a second thought, reached out my arms, and held him in an embrace. In a few minutes, he fell asleep in my arms, his flow of tears stopping as he drifted deeper into unconsciousness.
A few hours later…
I opened my eyes, looking down at Yuki sleeping in my lap. Suddenly his eyelids began to twitch, then he awoke, looking at me with a confused look on his face. He then sat up, his gaze focused at the ground.
"Haru…" he started hesitantly, "do you know who… Akito is?"
I looked down at Yuki, clearing my throat as I answered, "Yes, I do."
"I- I want to know what he did," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "You must… tell me."
I looked at him, trying to remember if he had ever been so demanding and outspoken before. But this was a very important thing he needed to know, so I could understand why he was being so demanding, even though I knew he was worried and scared.
"Are you sure, Yuki?" I asked hesitantly. He nodded silently.
Yuki's POV
As Haru gently began to tell me what had happened, I felt myself falling and falling, although I didn't know where.
And then I was back there, feeling the cold snow around my feet. My eyes ceased to function, but I could still see and feel everything that was happening around me. Someone was screaming behind me, but I was in too much pain to turn around to see who it was.
The ice beneath my feet wasn't as friendly as when I had my shoes. It bit and stung, as if I were walking on hot needles. But I ran on, away from all the screams. The screaming, that wouldn't stop and followed me no matter where I turned, finally stopped. I was finally granted peace in that world of chaos.
Then I came back as the snow and ice melted, and everything came back. Haru had finished the story, and he was looking at me, a concerned look on his face. I stood up quickly, walking toward the door. My hands shook as I lifted my hand up to the doorknob.
Almost in a flash, Haru was behind me, embracing me from behind, pressing me to the door.
"W-Wha-?! Haru, what's going on?", I demanded.
He gave no response, but his slow, soft breath tickled my ear like a feather. I felt hot drops falling onto my shoulders, and his hands around my waist tremble. One thing was certain. I was thawing.
"I…" he whispered through his tears, "I'm… so sorry, Yuki."
