030 – Luv Ya!
It stared back at him, a tiny yellow post-it note. We're running out of toothpaste.
Fair enough, Takeru thought, shrugging his pale shoulders as he reached for the crumpled tube of Colgate.
Daisuke's handwriting was less of the artistic print of typical Japanese calligraphy, and more an uneven scrawl of smudged ink. The blond sighed, it had taken him years to figure out how to interpret it. Too bad the boy himself wasn't currently here, in fact, he'd been gone when Takeru had woken up.
Daisuke had been selected to go play soccer in Tokyo for the week and Takeru had claimed that he'd head down for the game on Saturday, and he would, provided he could remember how to get there.
Shutting the mirror-cabinet in their tiny bathroom, the blond pulled on a crinkled shirt, and headed into the kitchen.
Don't eat the rice! I think there's a fungus growing on it.
Takeru sighed, opening the fragile plastic and giving the old rice a sniff. It was binned in a matter of seconds. He wandered past the lounge, cereal bowl in hand.
Another square of yellow paper had made itself at home on their second-hand television. Tape Powerpuff Girls?
Huffing in resignation, the blond continued his stroll to the computer. Don't stay on too long, you'll get square eyes one day!
The day continued in a similar fashion, Takeru noted in ample amusement. Post-it notes covered in Daisuke's familiar scrawl had themselves stuck on every item of furniture, on every nook and cranny.
It wasn't until late that night, when Takeru tumbled to bed did he find the final note. I love you. See you in 6 days.
