CHAPTER FOUR – ELECTRICAL STORM
"I'm so tired!" – yelled the tall boy with black hair
Touya, you should go straight to your room and get some rest. You still have these scratches and this cut in your thorax! – Sakura was still worried about his brother
"Don't worry too much or the kaijyuu will explode! … ha ha ha…"
"I'M NOT A KAIJYUU! ONIICHAN NO BAKA!" – she almost kicked him but remembered that he was wounded
"You two, stop fighting! Sakura, to your room, I have to talk to your brother… please?" – fujitaka
As soon as Sakura started climbing the stairs, their father said:
"Touya – kun, don't you think you should call someone?"
"Dad?"
"Tsukishiro – kun might be worried."
Touya blushed a little; did his father know about his feelings? Went to the phone. No answer.
"Touya, you have to understand that everything is ok with me. You can count on me for everything, you can come to me if you need some advice or if you need just to talk…you and Tsukishiro – kun need eachother. I just hope you'll come to me to say that…" – Fujitaka thought to himself
"Touya – kun?"
"What?"
"Can we talk for a second?"
"Sure…"
They sat on the sofa. Some silence between them until the father broke it:
"Son, I want to say something to you"
"What dad? Is there any problem?"
"It's about Tsukishiro – kun"
"Yukito?"
"Yes"
Touya looked at his father and understood the situation. This conversation would be a decisive one. It was time for him to admit his feelings.
"I know that you and Tsukishiro – kun are very close friends. I know too that you miss him and you want to be near him everytime. Do you… don't you think that you feel something more towards him?"
Touya blushed furiously this time
"Wh- why are you saying that?"
"At the hospital you talked in your sleep. You kept calling tsukishiro's name and you said…I love you a couple of times…and it's been a while now that I've noticed that you and Tsukishiro – kun are getting more…connected and together…"
Touya went blank now. He didn't know how to feel or what to say
"I just want you to know that I'm ok with it. I don't have any problem and, in fact, I'm happy that you feel something so special for him and I'm really proud of you, for being so mature. You can come to me if you need any kind of advice…ok? You can count on me for anything…"
Touya was surprised yet happy to the fact that his father was so understanding and even more that he was accepting his love for another guy.
"Thank you dad…I mean it…"
The rain was falling again. Somehow the rain was always falling when something important happen. Touya went to his room, changed clothes and ran away, under the rain, he didn't care anymore, he ran like wild, determinated to say everything to Yukito, wherever was his answer. Electrical storm, that was the way, he felt.
"Yuki…please, just listen to me… I …I love you"
Finally, he was at Yukito's door…
