025 – An Eye for an Eye.
"You and Takeru…you're always fighting." Ken asks, one cool day in late July.
Daisuke doesn't really know what to say to that, so he opts instead to kick the soccer ball he's holding high into the air.
"How can you call you're relationship real if you fight so much?"
But that's not what Ken means, Daisuke knows. How can you say you're in love with Takeru if all you do is fight?
"We don't really mean it though," Dais says, "When we argue. It's just our way of telling each other something."
The taller boy doesn't say a word, merely leans his back against the wire fence.
"It's why you and I would never have worked out, Ken." Daisuke doesn't take his eyes off the soccer ball before him, yet his words don't falter. "I need to bounce off someone, and so does he really. An eye for an eye and all that…but you and me, Ken, I take an eye, you go, you angst and live the rest of your life one-eye less."
And really, what can he say to that?
