"I resign" Touya Akira said softly.
"Thank you for the game." The man opposite Akira replied, before addressing the boy heading towards them.
"Aa...Hikaru, where have you been?"
"Sorry Sai, I was held up by Waya." Hikaru replied apologetically.
Touya Akira make a move to stand, intending to excuse himself silently. However, his intention was wasted as Hikaru had already spotted him.
"Wait up, Touya!" Hikaru called out to him.
For a while, Akira felt the urge to run. He did not want to face Hikaru, not when Sai was there. Akira had known Hikaru for years, he knew Hikaru was having a relationship with Sai. Although, Hikaru had never told him anything about it. He knew though, he was not a fool. Akira had seen all those dreamy look in Hikaru's eyes whenever his friend thought he was not looking. There is no mistakes in those dreamy gaze, they were full of love. However, he knew they were not directed at him but at Sai.
"Touya?" Hikaru wave a hand in front of him, drawing him out of his stupor.
"Yes?" he responded on instinct.
"Are you all right? You are zoning out on me..." Hikaru frowned.
"Sorry, what did you say just now?" Akira asked.
"Nothing much, I was merely thanking you for keeping Sai company while I'm away." Hikaru replied matter-of-factly.
"Oh... you're welcome. After all, that's what we always do." Akira replied as he forced a smile onto his face.
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow in school then!" Hikaru smiled at him before turning to Sai and said "Sai, come on! Let's go home..."
Sai hurried after Hikaru, nodding to Akira politely as he joined Hikaru by the exit. Akira was left standing on the spot, staring at the back of their heads as they left the site without a backward glance.
'Shindou... I hope you are happy with him... Even if my heart was stating otherwise.' Akira allow his eyes to slip shut as he tried to fantasize himself with Hikaru. "I love you..." he whispered, knowing for a fact that Hikaru will never hear him. Shaking his head for the last time, he cleared all thoughts of Hikaru off his mind.
Straightening his posture, he turned swiftly and headed for the closing ceremony joining the rest of the Go professionals involved in that afternoon event.
