Chapter VII
Ren and Masato had spent their days always together. They had classes, sometimes extracurricular activities, tuition and band essays. One week had passed and they hated each other still. The more time they passed together, the more they realized how much they hated one another. However one day something changed. It was a slight change, but was a way to a new friendship. Maybe, since both were unpredictable.
"Oye ugly duckling, today I've a date so I can't walk you home." The blond said. Even if he hated Masato, he was already used to his presence every day. Hearing that new, Hijirikawa jumped and cried aloud in his mind. He was so happy for being alone and faraway from the stupid playboy that he couldn't put it into words.
"Really? That's great. Enjoy then." Masato said sarcastically.
They were both in front of the lockers in school's entry to change their shoes and go home.
"Then, see you tomorrow nerd."
"Hum, see you."
Who saw this short farewell would say that they got along fairly well, yet it wasn't true. Only each one of them knew how much was happy to get rid of the other.
"Finally alone. I'm tired of him. He's always full of himself and annoying when he constantly calls me by those fucking names." Masato surprised himself with his own thoughts. He never was rude in terms of language, but lately he was different. "It's everything that idiot's fault! Tsk!" The young teen took his shoes off of the locker and changed to his shoes. Once he wore his right foot inside of his black shoe he felt a sharp pain and immediately took off the shoe.
"What was that?" He asked himself rising up his right foot noticing a few drops of blood. "I-I'm bleeding… It hurts but why?" Hijirikawa looked inside of the shoe and saw a few pushpins. The blue haired boy stood petrified before such discover.
Ren was already smiling for a beautiful tall girl when suddenly he remembered about something.
"Shit! I forgot the keys on my locker."
The playboy approached her and smiling said "Sorry babe, I forgot my keys. I'll pick them up quickly, wait here." He blinked and walked back to his locker.
Once there, he saw the four eyes and smirking asked "Are you still here? Don't tell me... Did you miss me?" Hearing Ren's voice, Masato jumped with fright and dropped his shoes to the ground. Jinguji laughed with his reaction.
"You're really clumsy..." Then he saw two pushpins on the floor and asked "Hey, what's that?" The blue haired teen remained quiet and he repeated "I asked what's that?" Hijirikawa didn't move so Ren walked toward him and touching his shoulder turned him around saying "Oye four eyes are you listen... Eh blood? Are you bleeding? Are you..." However before Ren could finish his question Masato hugged him and said with a trembling voice "Don't... Please Jin-guji... Don't leave me alone."
The two teens were sitting under a tree outside of the large building, but still on school grounds. Masato continued scared and shaking due to nervousness and the previous fright. Ren was curing Hijirikawa's bruises in his right foot's plant. The blond was upset, not for cancel his date but for being worried about the blue haired nerd of his class.
"What happened?" Jinguji asked while applying some bandages on the small wounds. Hijirikawa was too nervous to reply, so he remained quiet.
"I asked what happened... Hijirikawa?" Hearing his own name uttered so seriously by the playboy's mouth made Masato look at him immediately, finding this way Ren's light blue eyes looking intensely at his.
The blue haired boy blushed slightly and looking at his foot covered with three small white bandages said "When I changed shoes the pushpins were already inside them, I didn't notice them and hurt myself."
"Who put those pushpins in your shoes?" Ren asked always serious. He couldn't believe how much guilt he was feeling at that moment.
"I... I don't know." Masato replied a bit hesitant. He didn't know why but he was feeling bad for Jinguji. He knew that the blond wasn't the guilty, yet the other boy didn't think in the same way about himself.
Ren sighed and asked "Can you walk?"
Hijirikawa tried to stand up yet he couldn't. The blond sighed again and said "I'll take you home." He extended his hand but Masato remained quiet. "Let's go."
"But your date..." Masato felt a hindrance in Ren's life right now.
"I already canceled my date and I... can't let you go home in this state, right?" Ren said hesitating in the beginning. The blue haired boy was surprised with the blond's attitude. He didn't expect that someone so rude, arrogant and always full of himself could be a little gentleman.
He grabbed Ren's hand and softly smiling said "T-Thank you... Jinguji." The playboy blushed for a few brief seconds yet he tried to disguise his red color coughing and looking around.
"Y-Yeah. Let's go, then." Ren said stuttering.
They set themselves in the way to Masato's home. Half an hour later they were in the middle of the way when Hijirikawa started to slow down his pace. Ren couldn't help but feel worried about the boy. He hated him yet he didn't want him hurt.
"Tsk! If only I had never been his tutor..." The blond thought feeling guilt.
"Oye, do you want to stop a bit?" Ren asked. Masato wanted to deny that fact however he was feeling so much pain and agreed. They walked towards a street bench and Ren helped him to sit, then he sat himself beside the nerd. For long moments they remained quiet, yet inevitable for feeling bad, Masato broke the silence and said without looking at the blond
"I'm sorry."
"Huh? Why?" The blond asked feeling confused.
"Anything of this is your fault and you're feeling guilty. You're the type of person I hate the most because you're arrogant, full of yourself, rude, insensitive and an asshole, but... but I can recognize when I'm wrong, and blame you would only turn me into a big jerk like you. Also... You had a date with someone and to help me you canceled it." He looked at the blond and finished "I think... that maybe you're not as bad as I thought." Jinguji Ren was caught by surprise by Hijirikawa's words. Even if he wanted he couldn't hide his embarrassed expression at that moment, because he couldn't stop looking amazed at Hijirikawa. It seemed that something changed, yet would that change be enough for an understanding? Anyone knew it, not even themselves.
