The Whisper Passing Through My Lips

by Risa Hijikata

A teen's unrequited love is not something unusual. Moreover if the subject is a childhood friend. 'It's a part of life, nothing special,' they said. But all that my heart could utter was, 'Help,' and no sound would escape from my lips. (Shounen-Ai; GinHijiGin; short instalments)

Chapter 3 - One Shouldn't Be Too Full of Himself

The lunch bell rang after the end of the third period.

Gintoki stood up from his chair and was about to head to the cafeteria when a hand on the crook of his elbow stopped him.

'Hey, where are you going?'

Gintoki pointed to his right and mouthed the word Ca-fe-ta-ri-a slowly.

'Don't we always eat on the rooftop?'

A hand rose as if to hide a smirk that seemed to say, Someone is really missing my company.

'It's not like that stupid!' Hijikata denied vehemently. 'I was just taking pity on you because you're the type that doesn't have many friends due to your bad attitude. You should be thankful that I'm gracing my company to eat lunch with you everyday here.' He embarrassedly looked away.

Gintoki chuckled and made a small wave of motion with his hand. Hijikata took it as, I'll be there in a moment, so you go on ahead, and headed there with an uncertain look. Sure enough, Hijikata was out of Gintoki's sight a moment later.
