I wrote this chapter like three different times. If I had posted it the first way I had written it you all would throw rotten fruit at your computer screens, it was horrible! I'm not really saying that this is wonderful because I don't think it is but it's a lot better then the first one I wrote, hands down.
Disclaimer- Terrible things would happen to Izumi Sano if I owned Hana-Kimi… and Nanba and Nakatsu and Kayashima would be the main love triangle with a hint of a love square with Kagurazaka. (Yes, I'm twisted.)
I told him that I loved him in the safest way possible. I told him in a way of friend ship so I wouldn't be hurt by his rejection. I feared that if he would think of me other then he does now that I would have another painful encounter with my own emotions such a yesterday.
I guess unlike him I have never and will never be ashamed by the person I love. If he is a man then so be it, it's not like I'm a queer. Before Nakatsu I had no feeling towards either sex.
I never thought that there would ever be a love to slowly start melting away the icy components of my heart. It feels odd to always be feeling that love, no matter how many other people's emotions pass through you. It's like I can never be truly numb again which is okay with me because I like this warmth that is coming to me for once.
At breakfast Nakatsu and I got to the table just before Noe and Sekime. "Did you hear?" Noe asked excited about something. Nakatsu shook his head. "What happened?" he was still a bit sleepy and not too energetic yet.
"Some guy gave Sano a bloody nose! Last night right in front of his room." I raise an eye brow. Was punching someone really something that was though of to be amazing? I always thought of it to be a painful when walking past fights at school or gyms.
"Who told you that?" I asked before my roommate could say a thing. He was nervous, like what I did was illegal or something. "Mizuki did this morning. He said that Umeda might think it was broken. Who do you think did it?"
Broken? That was a definite no. It didn't hurt that much I know about nose breakings. My dad liked to box before he died and insisted to taking me to his matches and practices no matter how much I would protest. He never really understood why I detested the sport that much; I guess that's what I got for not telling him about my power.
"Umeda was just trying to scare him." As a matter of fact I could feel that doctor right outside the lunch room feeling happy with himself. Sano was with him actually, pissed off as his life time's emotion, right next to jealousy.
I saw him walk into the room a few seconds later with Mizuki trailing behind. He locked eyes with me for a moment before going to another table completely. Was that supposed to be an insult? He needs to learn the way people's minds work, not everyone cares about his presence as his cross dressing roommate.
Well anyways the rest of breakfast was filled with Noe and Sekime trying to solve the big mystery of who hit Sano, apparently he was too humiliated to say and Mizuki had no clue. She thought the person hit him before me and Nakatsu got there, no naive but I guess that's why my love loves her so much for one part at least.
The rest of the day went on as any other. I was apparently being watched closely by the teachers. I don't think that they liked my performance for then yesterday but wouldn't dare try another intervention. They would be thought of as cruel and unimaginative people. I mean why try the same exact thing twice? Not that I see what they're so worried about anyways. My extra sight is part of me. I'm sure if I saw someone like Elvis that they would be changing there tune just to discover the "mystery" of his death.
Wait… now I've lost my train if thought. I said something about the rest of the day… Right so that means I'm at after school. Well Nakatsu had soccer practice so I set out to finish all the homework that I discovered I had forgotten to do earlier today and to catch up on my reading.
I was almost done with a great novel called "By These Ten Bones" when my bleached blonde came home with the stench of annoyance surrounding him. "What's wrong?" I ask before he can say a word.
"I'm still getting used to that." I hear him mumble under his breath. I don't ask again, just wait for him to tell me because he's the type of person who can't keep it all in. "The track team decided that wanted to train on the soccer field for some strange reason and we had to practice on there field! I ran right into the high jump poll while trying to score a goal."
Now that he mentioned it I could see a small cut on his left temple. It was bleeding but just a little. Before he can finish ranting I go into the bathroom and pull out a first aide kit. Umeda was the doctor and all but he could cause Nakatsu more pain if he went in for a tiny thing like that.
When I walk back into the room he's pacing back and forth, from the beds to the desk. "Sit." I tell him and just like that he does. I open up the kit as if I'm his lawyer and have some important papers for him to sign.
I pulled put the cut cleaner and he knocked his chair over while quickly backing away. He was scarred of the sting, how cute. "Nakatsu." He shakes his head. "Nuh-uh! It doesn't need to be cleaned! It is fine, already healing too!" he tries to convince me by wiping away some of the blood but then sits back down in pain. I think he scratched the cut because it really did hurt.
I feel like his mother the way he's starring at me. I apply the cleaner while his eyes are squeezed shut. He opens his eyes and a wave of confusion passes over him when I remove the moist cotton ball from his head.
"That didn't hurt! What gives Kayashima?" I point to the bottle. It practically screamed "Painless Solution!" all over the bottle. I wasn't dumb enough to buy something that would hurt me too just by being in the same room.
I open a brand new box of band-aids. He stars at me like I have got to be crazy. The only kind of bandages they had at the store had girlish flowers in neon colors with a bright purple background. I hadn't really thought much of it at the store, I was too busy trying to leave that place before the strong urge to buy lots of candy and toys took over from all the little ones that were there as well.
I place it over his cut before he can say anything. I must say that a girly bandage on a person like him looked pretty good. I guess it was sort of like that faze when guys always wore pink shirts.
At dinner Mizuki, who was back to sitting with us, laughed her head off about it. "It's so cute Nakatsu!" she managed to say in between gasps for air. "Then why are you asking?" Sekime asked even though he didn't get an answer.
"Well I wouldn't need it if the track and field team didn't take over out playing field today!" he glared at Sano who didn't care. "Is that true?" Mizuki had asked in complete shock. "Why were you guys on the soccer field?" she asked the high jumper.
"That's what I want to know." My roommate mumbled angrily. Izumi shrugged. "Coach just said that we should try someplace new for the day." He was feeling way too much satisfaction for that to be the truth but I stayed quiet and let it go like always.
"So… What do you guys want to do today? It seems like today is the only day they haven't given us a mountain of homework. We should celebrate!" Comparing the homework we get to a mountain as a bit much but it seemed to cool my roommate down and we all thought of where to go.
"How about the movies?" Noe suggested. There was nothing good playing so that idea was quickly disregarded. "What about the zoo?" Noe tried again causing the whole table to stare at him.
"What's so fun about seeing some smelly animals?" Nakao asked in his normally rude tone. "Carnival." I say before Nakao could send him to tears with insults about the zoo. "Let's go to the carnival."
Mizuki's face lights up. "Oh can we, can we?" she asks excitedly. Nakatsu seeing her enthusiasm jumped on the idea. "Of course! Let's go!" Everyone else seemed to think it was a good idea and a smiled to myself. I had seen an advertisement for the carnival earlier this week, there was supposed to be a fortune teller that I wanted to check out.
I just got Hana-Kimi vol. 10! It turns out that Kayashima's birthday is the same day that I first joined fanfiction which I think is a pretty cool coincidence. I was sort of inspired for another story that I hope I'll be able to write after this one with Nanba and Sano as the main characters. Even though I hate him and was completely disgusted by the picture of him taking off his shirt I thought it would be sort of cool. (I was also grossed out by the shirt Nakatsu was wearing that showed his stomach, guys should never wear something that shows there stomch1) Please review and tell me what you think!
