As usual like any other day, Syunpei walks down the street to his workplace. He fondles on his phone reading through the news. As he is sliding down the articles, the suggestion lists a few gossips on a group called 'Six Gravity'. Though the faces on the cover seem familiar but the brunette shrug it off. He is not one to fond over gossip especially towards idol. It irritates him how some people, like his sister, can be so obsessive over someone that will never meet her face-to-face. It makes this fake hope they harbor accumulated. The boy worried that one day they will cry over one of them confessing on having a relationship, cutting their chances off to approach them. He sighs as the thought keeps on elaborating in his mind.
As he steps advance forward, Syunpei notices Kai is sitting idly on top of a motorcycle in front of the studio building. He seems to stare up the clouds calmly. It is a chopper upon closer look, a classic choice to travel the country if he had the thought in mind. As far as he concerns, the man only have a car. He often has the other 'staffs' ride in it whether to work or other places of leisure. It even concerns him that he does not enter for practice but loitering around at the parking spot instead. Before he could speak up to him, the member of Procellarum admonishes him first.
"Hey, Syunpei! Let's go for a ride!" Kai invited.
Where to? The brunette did not uttered his confusion out loud. Instead, it shows on his face. The member of Procellarum continues.
"I just borrowed this sweet ride from a friend. Let's stroll around for a bit!" He said as he patted the seat.
His wide smiling face revealed rows of white teeth make Syunpei unsure of his decision. He tries to persuade Kai to go inside and practice but it backfires quickly. The idol informs that the practice has been called off for today. Of course, the brunette does not believe it one bit. He is sure that the man before him just making up excuses to skip it. If he does not stop him now, he is bound to get punished later on. The boy ignores the invitation and goes straight to the front door. His heart keeps hoping that the man will follow on his steps. However, his shoulder is being grabbed and pulled to the seat without his consent. He tries to get off but Kai pushed him down. The idol does not say any threatening words but the air he received seems to say so. Scared of what he will do, Syunpei stays quiet and goes along with it.
"Hold on tight!"
Kai exclaimed before turning the handle, accelerating the motorcycle away from its parking spot. The speed it is on is unbelievably swift. Syunpei almost lost his grip. He immediately hugs the man tightly without any second thought. The strong cold wind brushing their hair makes it whistles as they drive among the bustling road, intervene between the cars stuck in jamming roads. Even though the air is chilly, Kai does not feel it. The heat coming from Syunpei's hug makes a good warm pad along the way. Their destination seems to be the end of the land, the beach. Why would he go to the beach during this cold weather? The brunette wonder their intention arriving there. It should be most suitable if they went during summer, but it is too late now. Kai hits the brake and stops near the divider as he stares deeply into the ocean. The sounds of waves hitting the shore are seemingly meditating to both of them. The soft, cool wind brushing against their face is serene. The two men cannot help but lost in the tranquility they feel at the moment. At the moment, the idol seems to reminisce about the old days.
"You know, when I was your age, I lost my first love."
The brunette is shocked to hear a sudden confession of his past. He cannot react properly, it is too sudden for him. This unexpected event leads the air to become condensed and heavy that it becomes awkward. The boy tries to carefully not to say anything sensitive.
"My condolences... I hope you can get over it."
"Eh, not really." He shrugged, "I remember her now and then."
The boy was surprised by his reply but try to answer in compose, "Do you remember her, as your strength to move forward?"
His mouth stretched far to both his cheek, "You seem to know the trick. Happened to you?"
The boy stared into the sea once more before answering the inquiry, "Somehow..."
A patting hand can be felt on the brunette's head. He looks up to see the idol looking at him with a soothing expression. Somehow, it sends blood rushing to his facade warming it up to the color red. Perhaps he missed to be pat on the head softly after so long, and not the noogie style of patting. Kai offered a mint candy to the boy, taking it out from his jacket. The candy melts immediately within his mouth upon entering. It sends a chilling feeling through his nerves that his senses seems to enhance, it feels refreshing. After sharing a few minty sweets, they take off to their next destination. The boy is in disbelief when they arrived.
The land heaped before him, peaking to poke the sky with its pointer. The mountain soar the cloud in a magnificent stand. Syunpei's mouth gaped open seeing how high the land is. He shooks his head, Theres no way this guy wants to climb it, right?
"Lets climb it!"
The brunette is shocked to hear that. He goes enough misfortunes to call it the worst year of his life. Climbing mountain in the season of autumn is the least he wants to do, and this man invites him so. Before he could protest Kai's desire, he thought for a second. This might be the only time he has to go mountain climbing. This might be the time he can actually go out and have fun. This might be the only time they can spend time together, just the two of them. Now that he has calm himself and recalls his summer days, the staffs never once go to the beach or the summer festivals to let loose. They are always busy with works and events that when the boy invited them, he can hears how hectic they are with the cluttering and chatting noises in the background. I guess it wouldnt hurt once in a while. Syunpei catches up to Kai when he is being admonished by him from the higher ground, leaving the boy behind in his thought.
I. HATE. THIS. Syunpei has lied down on the ground, grasping for air after his painstaking climb to the top while Kai is busy taking pictures of the scenery and himself. He stares into the sky as he rests his body against the cold, chilling stones. The marching cloud on the land of blue says it is a nice weather to spend outside. However, the brunette does not feel any happiness from climbing a mountain. The only emotion he felt is anger and exhaustion, they say mountain climbing supposed to be fun and relaxing. Perhaps it is because he is being forced instead of voluntarily doing so. The boy raises sitting down when Kai joins him at his side, finally calming down from the excitement.
"You know", He spoke, "I wish time could stop, so I can spend more time with you."
The boy laughed, "What's with that cheesy line from a J-drama?"
"Oh! I have another one for you!" Kai caught Syunpei's attention, "If nothing lasts forever, will you be my nothing?"
"What are you talking about? I'll be your everything!" The brunette replied with a hint of sarcasm.
Kai gives him a gentle pat just like before. The only difference this time is, it comes with a forehead kiss. The brunette is taken aback by his kiss and slides away in shock. His beet red face is covered half by his hand that is holding his forehead. It feels warm. Syunpei does not question his action, he cannot even if he wants to after seeing that face. A smile so bright it gets blinding the second you look at, the air of joy he exerts, and a half flustered face that embarrass by his own doing. After a moment, they both descend and the idol goes to send him home. He watches the boy with full concentration until he finally closes his front door, arriving safely. After that, Kai turns the handle and drives the motorcycle back to his dorm. A smile sneaks onto his face when he remembers what happened today. Maybe I should be careful…Author's note: I'm so sorry! I'm at a loss trying to figure out how to end this. This part has been hanging in my folder for 3 months now. I don't really like the ending to this one much, hhmm... T.T Writing once again have become hard for me.
