It's Not All About Tennis
37. Lonely Road
Niou walked along the road, kicking a rock along. The words that had come out of both his and Marui's mouths during their fight echoed in his ears.
It was strange to be alone considering he spent so much time with Marui. He wanted to go back and see him, but at the same time he didn't want to
The ringing of his phone pulled Niou out of his thoughts. He fumbled for a minute, his hands still shaking with anger and sadness both, before finally pulling it out. He took a breath to control his voice before saying, "Hello~"
"Hey," Yagyuu's voice was soft. "Akaya just called telling me Marui and you got in a fight. Come over, we'll gorge on Ice cream and brownies."
"I thought you had a date with Jackal," Niou drawled, turning his head up to stare at the sky. "I dont want to interrupt."
"You're my best friend, Masaharu. I'm always here for you when you need it. He's going over to see Marui anyway."
"Please tell me you have the brownies with sprinkles," he choked out after a moment, letting his voice crack.
E/n: Couples have fights, sometimes it's up to the best friends to pick up the pieces.
