Chapter 21 : Jigsaw
That evening, at Touya's Go salon
…Too bad that you only want to be Shindou's rival but not also Hikaru's friend…
So, he wants to be my friend too? Not only my rival? Well…we've known each other for years but I've never thought of that. Friends? Shindou and I? Friend?
" Sorry, I'm late again," Touya was getting used to this line.
" Ah, Shindou, I…"
" Did Sei…Ogata-Sensei give you anything?" Hikaru cut him off.
The DVD " Ah, Yes," Touya opened his bag, " Here," he returned the DVD to its owner.
" Thanks, Touya," the blond said as he took it back, " Sorry for bothering you,"
" That's nothing, Shindou, I…" this was the 2nd attempt.
" Okay, Let's play" Rubbing his hands together, Shindou got excited.
" Aa…Umm, Okay, Let's play," Touya Akira indeed had a serious communication problem. I'll talk to him after the game.

" Thanks, See you tomorrow, Bye," Hikaru took his back bag from Ichikawa and was about to leave.
NO! " Shindou!" Akira shouted at the top of his voice.
" …Yes?" What does he want now?
" …Friends? I don't see why we can't …Where are you going?" he asked clumsily as he went closer to the blond.
" Me? Well, I'm going to a new ramen shop near the station…I'm kinda hungry now," Yeah! A bowl of ramen…maybe 2…Okay, maybe 3
"…D..Do you mind if I go with you?" the shy boy asked timidly.
"……….."
" Err…I'm sorry, I just…"
" Let's go, Akira," Smiling considerately, Hikaru uttered.
Akira? " H..Hai, let's go," Akira smiled softly in return.
Few days later, at Seiji's place
" Then you two had dinner together?" asked Seiji who now was sitting on the floor with his cross-legged trying to put a small piece of jigsaw into its position.
" Yap," Hikaru replied happily as he watched the sea fish in a blue-bow-front aquarium; a couple of Clown fish was playing hide-and-seek in a soft pink anemone, blue Damsels and some red Flame-Hawks were sleeping and hiding in a soft coral, Yellow Tangs and Golden Seahorses were swimming lazily while Cleaner Shrimps were busy doing their job…which was cleaning, " By the way, I like what you've done with the place," he noted as he saw a little change; A bamboo palm was greeting the guest at the entrance, a mass cane was by Seiji's favorite couch while a tub of Chinese Evergreen was on the dinning table and the white plastic blind also changed to a roll-up bamboo blind, " It makes this place become more...natural?"
"………" the room owner didn't say anything in reply, he still didn't figure out where was the right position for that jigsaw piece.
" Seiji-san?" Wondering why his friend didn't say a word, the blond in loose clothes called.
" …...So, now you have both Touya and Akira, huh?" Not turning around to face Hikaru's face, Seiji spoke out.
"………."
" I wonder if you still want Seiji or not since now you have Akira," he uttered quietly.
Hikaru smiled in amusement, he approached Seiji from his back. He slowly went down on his knees and put his arms around Seiji's neck hugging him from the back, " Don't worry, Seiji-san," Chuckling softly, he whispered into his friend's ear, " No one can ever takes your place,"
Finally, Seiji put the jigsaw into its position, he turned his head a bit tolook atHikaru and his nose unintentionally accidentally brushed the boy's. He smiled suspiciously, " I've just redecorated the bedroom, wanna take a look?" invited the pedophile.
