Reassurance
. . .
When Usagi finally stops running, we are in the Juuban Park. "U-Usagi-chan," I pant, "why are we at the park?" There are a million questions I want to ask-but I am positive inquiring about Mamoru might make her more upset.
"It's my favorite place in the city," she whispers, occupying one of the park benches.
I sit beside her, dwelling with her. Mamoru should have never opened his big mouth. Not in front of Usagi, at least.
A sniff from the blond brings me out of my thoughts. "D-d-does he really love another woman, Motoki-onii-san?" She asks, pulling her legs up to her chest.
"Of course not, Usagi-chan." I reassure the girl, regardless of any confliction I have in my thoughts. Just a few weeks ago, Mamoru told me his secret concerning Usagi. Could he really have changed his mind?
Of course not.
Usagi sniffs again and wipes her nose with the sleeve of her school uniform. "Motiki-san, I think I'm going to go home now."
I nod and stand up from my seat. "I think that's a good idea," I remark before turning away. It is time. To talk to the stupid one in the situation.
. . .
By the time I reach the arcade, I am surprised the building is not in shambles. I do not recall leaving anybody in charge.
"Motoki-san."
My eyes raise to meet Mamoru's and my impressed look fades. "Mamoru."
Not a single patron seems to notice the tension between me and my best friend and I would like to keep it that way. I walk over to the counter and sit in one of the seats in front of him.
"You're welcome for taking care of the arcade."
"Thank your for breaking Usagi's heart."
Mamoru's eyes widen. "What?"
I roll my eyes. Is he serious? "You said another woman taught you how to love."
He tilts his head in confusion, waiting for me to continue.
"You mentioned love and another woman in the same damn sentence!" I try not to shout-but sometimes my friend is not the med school student he actually is. "Usagi took it the wrong way, baka."
Finally comprehending the fact, he quickly unties my apron from around his waist. "Do have any idea where I can find her?"
Smiling, I reach over the counter to pull a pen and napkin from underneath. As I jot down the address I memorized the previous years 'in case of emergencies' I feel Mamoru's eyes on me. I shove the napkin at him. "Go get her."
Mamoru's running figure brings a smile to my face. This is an emergency, ne?
Either way, maybe there is hope for those two.
To Be Continued.
