They remembered their
friendship. Would this ruin that?
"So.." Takeru said, laughing as they sat down. "Um…"
"I officially hate Jun, and Yamato
to." Daisuke spat out.
"Yeah, me to. They have no right to
do this to us. To think, they think they're doing us a favor!"
"Everything was perfect before this.
Just…perfect, and it'll all be over soon." Daisuke mumbled to himself.
"Excuse me?" Takeru said. "What did
you say?"
"Nothing."
The waiter came in. "What d'ya
want?" He demanded. They had seen him talking to the other couples, politely
and kindly, and commenting on the beauty of the girlfriend. Here, he was acting
like a jerk.
"Whats with him?" Takeru whispered
to Daisuke.
"Maybe, it's cause he thinks were gay."
Daisuke said, glaring at Takeru.
"But why would that matter?"
"Because, it's disgusting."
"It is not! Takeru stood up,
getting mad. "My brother is gay!"
"I thought you agreed with me on
hating their guts."
"That doesn't mean I'm gonna let you
dis him, and thousands of people like him!"
"Oh, just SHUT UP!"
"Your
order!" The waiter yelled.
"Rice
balls." They said at the same time.
"Okay."
The waiter walked away.
"Listen,
Daisuke…" Takeru trailed off, looking at his friend. "Dai, are you crying?"
And
he was. Tears were streaming down his face, but he was trying his best to hide
it from Takeru.
Daisuke
shook his head. "No…"
"Um,
yeah, you are. Whats wrong?"
"I
can't do this. It'll ruin everything.
What if someone we know comes in and tells the girls. They're bound to find out
somehow…and how can we do this, and still be best friends like before? We'll
probably go back to being enemies again. Just when everything was perfect, Jun
and Yamato had to spoil it all.
And
I don't have anything against gays. I don't think it's gross, I'm just mad that
our appearing to be them is going to ruin our lives…"
"This
wont…" Takeru started. But he realized Dai was right. If they didn't truly love
each other, this would all end in misery.
Jun
watched from across the room. She nearly burst into tears herself, seeing how
this was going.
But
to her surprise, it wasn't because this would ruin her chances with Yamato. She
was beginning to realize she no longer cared for him. What broke her heart was
seeing how this hurt her brother.
But what if I do love him? Takeru thought. I don't think I do, but maybe…
But
he looked at his friends tears and realized he shouldn't even think of loving
him. He had to end this as soon as possible.
