Rukawa was still drooling over his pillowcase, seemingly all wasted. But leaving the window open the wind blew his curtain up, letting the sunlight to his room. And when it caught up to his eyes he was sensitive enough to move to his right. Feeling disturbed and uncomfortable he couldn't get back to sleep. He had a minute of looking into the ceiling. His shirt was ruffled and rolled, showing almost half of his tummy. He was also keeping a pillow in between his legs.
Blinking, he yawned and got up stretching his arms. His feet were on the floor but he was still sitting on his bed. His fingers skimmed through his hair, he sighed and stood up. Getting ready for an exercise he changed into his favorite purple jogging wear. Walking around with slippers, he gets to the kitchen. And recognized that its not his typical noisy morning.
He took a carton of milk from the refrigerator and had a straight drink from it. He noticed a note left on the fridge. It was his mom's hand writing saying:
Papa and I will be out for awhile.
Your brother's out with friends.
Sorry honey if we didn't wake you up.
Anyways there's plenty of food in the fridge if you get hungry, ok?
Mom
Saying nothing, expressing nothing he threw away the carton and the paper. He went back to his room. And he went out again he was already carrying his red backpack and CD player. He took his rubber shoes from the cabinet and wore them by the entrance door. Having sure he have the keys with him. He went outside and tightly locked the door.
He was pulling out his bike to take his daily ride. When someone came surprising him from his back.
"What the?! Sakuragi?!"
"Yo!"
"What are you doing here in my place?!" Rukawa screamed.
"Good Morning to you too," Hanamichi composedly replied "I didn't know you could be this loud in the morning."
"I don't care!" Rukawa yelled.
Rukawa's face turned from bad to worst. His eyes were getting bigger as his brows crossed. "Geez…I just came to give you this," Hanamichi pouted saying and hand over a plastic bag. "It's your shorts. You must've have mistaken my locker from yours." The red-haired monkey explained seeing Rukawa stares at it and was sort of saying "What the hell?"
Rukawa glanced at him for a quick second and then immediately snatched the bag from Hanamichi's hand saying, "Of course I did! Its not as if I'm going to put it on purpose!" He then turned away as he was getting red.
"Oh! Before I forgot I already washed that for you." Hanamichi exclaimed trying to bring a smile. From what Rukawa heard he turned plushy even more. Yet, he still uttered his usual attitude, "Oh Yeah? Well, you shouldn't have bothered! 'Cause I'm still going to wash it anyway!""
Sakuragi who was being nice and all lost his temper. Nerves started popping out of his head. He clutched his hands. He couldn't help not to hit anything. Good thing, they were standing next to a post. So instead of taking it all out on Rukawa, he knocked his head on to the post.
"Well, you could have at least said THANK YOU." He yelled.
Putting his hands on his pockets, already been a habit, he walked away with a really bad mood. He walked like an angry giant yet also like a child. Stomping his feet into the ground and mumbles.
However, Rukawa acted like he didn't even know he was there.
But when he couldn't hear Hanamichi's grumbling anymore. He looked into the direction where he was at. He appeared to be a little disturbed and sad. Through his eyes he was admitting his guilt.
Then he remembered the bag in his hand. It made a rustling sound when he moved. He looked down to it. Then he whispered something to himself.
