Chapter 8 – Tachibana

Did I say that I would visit Hyoutei recently? Well… rewind that statement, please. I will never get any closer to Hyoutei at least for some weeks ahead. I'm so disappointed that a grand school like Hyoutei consist of some people who can only say one kind of word…and they even didn't put any attention to me!

Forget about Hyoutei, Fuji Shusuke! It's time to move on!

I think it's better for me to stay at home today. I don't know why but I feel kinda tired. Maybe I should calm myself and relax a bit. It's weekend, after all, so I can have plenty of time to enjoy myself.

But when I see Yuuta coming home with Mizuki, I suddenly change my mind.

I go outside from the back door, hoping that they didn't see me. What's Mizuki doing here, anyway? Doesn't he know how much I hate him? Or maybe my way is still too soft to make him understand? Well then… I guess I'll have to torture him harder next time…

Darn, if that's the case, why the hell did I go away from him? It could be a perfect time to show him my wrath! And he can be a perfect object for my anger. Sigh… but I cannot change what has been done. Now I'm outside, so it's impossible for me to come in to my house again. It's true that I can easily come home and act as if I've just come from somewhere, but then Yuuta will ask me questions and I don't feel like answering any question right now…

So, now I'm outside… where should I go to…?

The choices are various. First, try to get a new guy (is this only my feeling or did I started to sound like a desperate lovesick person?). Second, go to one of my team mates' house, but where? Third, just wander around the town without anything in mind. That seems cool…

Wait, that's not cool at all! What am I thinking? Fuji Shusuke isn't supposed to walk around like a lunatic person.

"Fuji Shusuke from Seigaku…. isn't it…?" someone said.

Well, what do you expect me to do else than turn my head and meet the source of the voice. I see the face and recognize him almost instantly.

"Tachibana-san!" I exclaim. Well, he's in my list, right? So it won't be strange if I show a lovely face.

"I've thought that it's you. What are you doing?" he asks.

"And what about yourself?" I question him back. The truth is, I don't even know myself why the hell I'm here right now.

"Just want to buy something," he answered; his head gestures a flower shop behind our backs. "Want to join?"

"Oh…" I say. So he wants to buy some flowers? Hm… that can't be so good. I mean… if a man buys flowers, does that mean that he'll give them to someone? And I don't need an idiot to remind me that the 'someone' is absolutely not me.

But rejecting his invitation will be impolite, so I follow him entering the shop. Inside, there are so many flowers in every colours and kinds. We head straight to the table where a nice-looking lady greets us with her smile. But it seems that she's still being busied by the other customers so we wait patiently on the line.

"I don't know that you like flowers," I say, trying to start the conversation, and… yes, to dig some information…

"It's for someone… someone very special to me…" Tachibana says with a smile. "Though I don't know if he feels the same."

HE! Oh, well, an improvement… I admit I'm sad that he has already had someone he loves. Sad! Let me rephrase it. I'm totally depressed!

"Pardon me, but… he?" I say, trying to look innocent, I'm good at it, and I'm proud of it! Go on, Fuji Shusuke, show your best innocent and puzzled look. Let him think that what he has just said is disgusting or terrible or something like that. Let him know that his love for 'him' is wrong, that way; I can have their relationship destroyed.

Eugh… now I sound like a freaking jealous girl…

Hey, if I can't have him, no one can! It's not that I love him so badly but it's simply because I don't want to be defeated by anybody.

He sighs and turns his head so his gaze doesn't meet my eyes.

"Yes…he. I know you'd probably think it's gross, but… yes, I love a man," he said, then he smiles apologetically.

"Oh… oh, I'm not… it's just… do I know him?" I say quickly.

He nodded, "Yes, you know him… you know him very well…"

Eh? Is it possible that Tachibana is in love with one of my team mates? I think I should find out about that later. For now, let's pretend as a caring friend, shall we? I really enjoy my role. Maybe I should join the theatre club when I enter high school…

By the way… where are we…?

"It's not that I'm disgusted or what but… don't you think people can't… well, they can't accept it very well. And maybe for you it is okay, but how about him? And the people around you? Can they accept it?"

Gee… I'm so proud of myself. Don't ask me how I can say something like that.

"I see…" he says sadly. "I think you don't really into this kind of relationship, eh?"

"It's… what's wrong with girls, anyway?" I say. What's wrong with girls? Hah, they are not boys, that's what! But… I can't say that, can I?

He looks at me and again he sighs. Then it's our turn to say our orders. Tachibana's order to be more exact since I don't want any. But I accompany him because I'm still in my role as a sweet caring friend.

"I want roses… beige roses," he says. Hey, strange, that's my favourite flower…

"Yes, five, don't wrap them," he continues. It's strange; I too always prefer my flowers unwrapped.

"No, I don't need any card, I'll give them myself," he says before he turns his face to me. What now?

He trusts the flowers to my hand and smiles.

"Even though now I'm certain that you don't love me, Fuji Shusuke, but I still want to give this to you," he says. "I love you, I really do, but if that's your choice, it's fine. Thanks for giving me sweet dreams. I hope you can find your happiness soon."

Ok, I'm dumbfounded. I'm stunned. I can't move my body; I can't think… hold on. I have to digest this information first…

Eh!

EEEHHHH!

What the… wait! Oh God Tachibana!

I turn my head to the shop door, trying to catch a glimpse of him, but he has already gone. And I'm left like an idiot with these roses in my hands.

My eyes blink once, and then twice, and then I can't remember anything again. I think I do the smartest thing that time and pass out.

- end chapter 8 –

(A/N : err… some reviews would be nice… we'll continue this fic after Fuji opens his eyes, if we're still alive by that time…(sweat) think we've been torturing him too much, eh? But we love seeing him suffering (laugh), and the fic almost reach an end, so please, if you want to kill us, save your need until you see the words 'the end' OK? This fic will reach its end on chapter 10, so... yeah... at least let us finish our job.)
