The Bastard 09


"Happy New Year!"
The one who shouted this with an orange juice in one hand, was me.
Since it's the middle of the night, my spirits are high.

"Yes, yes. And so it has," mumbles Abuto beside me.
I put down the glass of juice and frown towards the guy who rests his elbow against a table and sigh.

How depressing from such an early start of the year.
It's new years. Does it hurt to look a bit more excited?

"Oi, smile for once at a time like this!" I pout at him and he just bores his eyes at me dumbly.

"A-?" Abuto mumbles, "It's not like anything new is going to happen for God's sake. I'm sleeping."
And with that, he turns over and goes to sleep.
I forgot to say, but this is his room.
It started off when we said that passing a new year all alone by yourself is too lonesome and depressing so we forcefully entered his house.
Apparently Abuto is normally an early-sleeper so he had been tiredly staying up till midnight.

Or rather stayed up for us.

"What? You're sleeping already? Come on, let's stay up!" I immediately rock his sleeping body, but he won't open his eyes anymore.

"I've finished my mission, didn't I?"
...what the fuck, man.
I click my tongue.
Is he and old geezer? How much does it take to just stay awake for one day! I growl in my head as I glare at the huge body falling into slumber.
And then I shift my gaze slightly.
"This one too...is a weird one," I mumble as I stare at the other bastard who is deeper fallen into slumber.
This bastard who is leaning forward on the table, breathing softly is Kamui, the one who fell asleep as soon as the clock struck 22 o'clock. (10 o'clock)

What the fuck? Suddenly the two of them behaving and sleeping early like a bunch of wittle good boys?
And at a time like this, too?
...well of course there will be people who are asleep as well.
But do you normally sleep? When a friend is over? Really?

"...The start of this year is way too boring," I sigh and drink up all the orange juice in the glass.

-So it's already been a year since I met Kamui.

I glance at the sleeping face that peeks from the mop of orange hair and smile a little.
He just seemed to look like a small child and only just a little... but it made me think he's cute.

The first time we met was in class.
The first time we talked to each other was on the way home, upon a dark street, was it?
He suddenly talked to me, provoked me and we ended up in an argument.
At first I thought he was a bastard... but before I knew it...
...ah, no. Actually he's still a bastard!

He isa bastard...but, well...

I take a glance towards the sleeping bastard again.

"Nn..." he then slightly groans, making a small crease upon his brows.
If I keep observing to see if he's going to wake up, he eventually lifts his eyelids slowly.

For me who had been reminiscing about Kamui, I suddenly feel very awkward and embarrassed to talk to him that I avert my gaze in a rush.

...the moment I had realized the emotions I have of him other than thinking of him as a bastard, I just couldn't force myself to admit it or put it into words.
So then there's me, who ends up saying not-nice things him all the time.

Since it's a new year now, maybe it's better if I change a bit of my attitude for once.
...and try to... be able to word my honest thoughts.

"Huh...? What time is it now?" Comes a sleep-thick voice from the one who finds me after scanning the room, while I had been in the midst of my thinking.

"Just a bit past midnight, I think," I reply, looking down at my watch.

"...ah, so it's new years already," Kamui says with his eyes boring into mine, making me look down at the table.

...n-no, as I thought, it's impossible!I confirm when our eyes had locked.

Like saying "I love you"...
I am originally not the type of person to say these kind of things!

But I hadshouted out loud in his face before...

"I love you, okay!?"

Or more like, I was forced to shout this out loud.

Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever told him my feelings straight forward before.

... but! That's just something impossible for me to do!

I turn my blushing head away from his and open my mouth.

"At least stay awake at a time like this, jeez! I can't believe you slept through it so deeply!" I growl.

"Oh~, so you wanted me to stay awake till new years?" Kamui asks after stretching his arms and then resting his chin in his palm with his elbow propped upon the table.

"Of cour-...no! It doesn't matter at all whether you were awake for it or not!" I growl shaking my head side to side for almost letting my honest thoughts slip.

T-that was close... the words just come out of my will from being a bit too drowsy.

"Heh~? You're still not honest from such an early start of the year," the bastard comments while staring into me.

"Not really. And it's only been a few minutes since New Year's started," I grumble, annoyed at the smug smiling face of the bastard's.

But here I am, starting the New Year with yet another mean retort.
My shoulders slump in defeat at my indifferent self.

"I woke up just for you...," Kamui starts murmuring when I'm in my small world of depression, "but you aren't gonna do anything for me?"
Shifting my gaze towards him, I see him pouting back at me with eyes demanding for something.
I unintentionally widen my eyes before abruptly turning away.

"W-what do you mean I don't do anything for you," I mutter.
What this bastard is on about, I have no idea.

What can I do for a drowsy person who's only just woken up?

I raise a brow in confusion while I see Kamui looking this way at the corner of my eyes.
Doing the same, the bastard then smiles sweetly.

"Like giving me a kiss?"

"~~wha!?"

Kamui chuckles so happily at me after my raised voice of panic.

Wha-...What the bloody hell are you saying so early in the year!
His train of thoughts are way too stupid!

As I press my palms against my hot face, Kamui stops laughing and opens his mouth again to speak.

"You...never get used to my speeches, do you?"

"How the fuck can I!?" I say aloud as I slam my fists against the table while glaring at the bastard.
But then I furrow my brows at Kamui who makes fun of me like that, and sit back down with a sigh.

"You really haven't changed since the first time I met you," I mutter.

"Really?" Comes the short reply.

I haven't changed at all, but he hasn't either.
His tendency of teasing hasn't changed at all since the first time we met.

...that's the part of him I hate... and is also...a good part of him?

I suddenly remember the days when we first met and a soft chuckle escapes my lips as I reach out for the now empty glass, but my movements of getting another fill of orange juice is stopped by Kamui's voice.

"...hey."

"Hm?"
I look towards the bastard, where then I notice how close his face is...

"...~~mmf!"

...and before I know it, he is sealing my lips shut with his.
It's already been a year, so I should be used to this already.
...but I really can't, and my heart starts ramming against my ribs so loudly.
When we pull apart slowly, I feel the heat all rise up to my face and it's too hot.
I slowly open my eyes to lock my gaze upon Kamui's... and my eyes widen further in shock.

"K-Kamui..." I whisper with my jaws hanging.

Because this is Kamui, we're talking about.
...and to see his face bright red for once...

"...Maybe I should go back to sleep," he averts his gaze and mumbles as he awkwardly scratches his head.
His face is burning red which is such a rare sight for him that it makes me laugh out loud.

"...fufufu"

"What? What's so funny to laugh about?" Kamui growls as he leans forward onto the table.

"Nothing~" I reply, and get a curt comeback of "Fine then," before he turns his back on me.

I wish that we can be together like this this year and the next and so on.
To think such a thing, maybe shows how very slightly I'm starting to change after all compared to last year.


An between the awkward two, still lies Abuto who finds himself not able to find any timing to wake up with this atmosphere and spends the rest of the new year awkwardly stuck in place, not knowing what to do...
