Chapter 5
Sena lifted his head up and looked in Monta's direction. He saw a man walking on the opposite sidewalk with a girl clinging to him.
"That blonde hair, those elf-like ears…so familiar," Sena thought. "That gun, that form…only one man around here has all those things—Hiruma-san."
"Hiruma-san," the tiny running back called out as he went to run across the street.
Suddenly, the girl who was walking with Hiruma turned to the blonde, wrapped her arms around hiss neck, and kissed him on his cheek. The girl's head fell onto his shoulder. Hiruma turned back to say something to her and held her hand in his own. When Sena got a better look at the Devil Captain's face, he immediately froze.
"I can't believe it…I can't believe it's the truth…Hiruma-san was…with someone else…" he thought in fear.
Too shocked, too confused, too surprised, the tiny running back could only stand there, watching the scene until the green light lit up and the cars blocked his view. And when the light turned red, Sena couldn't see Hiruma and the strange girl anymore.
"Sena, you saw him too, didn't you?" the monkey-like boy asked as he ran after him. "Was that Hiruma-san?"
"I'm not sure, he left too fast," he lied.
"Uh…Do you know the girl who was walking with him?"
"I don't know," Sena answered automatically, gazing at the place that Hiruma had just been.
"I could only see her back. You know, she was shorter than Hiruma-san. She had long black hair… who does she look like?" Monta asked, reconstructing the painful memory bit by bit, which made Sena hurt more and more.
"She walked with Hiruma-san, held his hand, and even kissed him. I wonder who she was since she could do all those things…."
Like a slow-motion film, Sena saw it again, over and over, non-stop. It was like arrows shooting directly into his heart. The tiny running back's entire body trembled.
Sena's silence was making Monta awkward.
"Sena, you are listening, aren't you? Are you okay?" Again, only silence replied. The receiver recognized that he had accidentally hurt Sena. Feeling remorse, Monta knew that what he had done was wrong.
"Sena…I'm sorry…I didn't notice.…"
"No, don't be sorry…" Sena cut him off. "That wasn't your fault, just mine," he said sadly as his voice broke into pieces. Monta was really confused; His friend had never sounded like that before. He didn't know that hiding behind the Sena who always smiled was another sensitive and weak Sena.
"Sena…."
"Please don't. Not now Monta-kun…Sorry, I will walk home by myself. Thanks for today." The tiny running back walked past the receiver quickly to hide the tears that were rolling down his cheek softly. He was scared that he couldn't be strong anymore. He couldn't hold the tears in, and had cried in front of Monta. His buddy had more things to worry about than his problem.
Monta watched Sena sadly until he disappeared. The happiness of the first time they made chocolate for their lover had gone, now replaced by a large sense of pain. Snow fell quietly. In a street corner, someone had knocked the trash cans over.
Sena didn't know how he could go home, have dinner with his parents, and answer their questions about his strange actions today. Now the tiny running back was in his room, sitting in the dark. He couldn't think about anything but what had happened that afternoon. Too many feelings overtook his mind: fear, pain, confusion, worry…. Wrapping his arms around his knee, Sena cocooned himself within a blanket. He hoped that he would felt better, but Sena's heart just hurt more. Day by day, every time Sena meets Hiruma, trains, plays football with him, sees him caring about the other teammates, the young teen knew he would fall deeper and deeper in love. But now, that feeling was only causing him pain.
The chocolate box was lying quietly on the table. Sena looked at it. It contained his heart for Hiruma, his first love, and true love. The running back remembered the day he discovered his feeling for the Devil Captain. Yeah, he was so embarrassed; One guy falling for another guy, especially a devilish guy like him, was so embarrassing, really. It was the beginning of Sena's blushing every time he saw Hiruma, too. Time was passing. Sena had gotten through many events with Hiruma and the other Devil Bats: the Death March, Kato Games, the Christmas Bowl…victories, failures, smiles, tears—too many emotions. And his love had grown bigger and bigger. One tear fell down his face.
Sena quickly brushed it away. He couldn't give up. It was too soon to give up. He knew love was painful, but love was also worth the struggle. The tiny running back noticed that sitting here, doing nothing was hopeless; he had to fight for love. Holding the box tightly, he decided that no matter what would happen, he would give it to Hiruma.
Tiredly, Sena lay down and slept.
"****ing Shrimp, this is my girl friend, and today I want to introduce her to you."
"…"
"Yes, I love her, not you, damn shrimp. I am straight."
"…"
"Now get out of my face. I don't want to see you any more, ****ing queer."
And Hiruma kissed the strange girl deeply.
"Nooooo!" Sena yelled out loudly. Sweating profusely, the teen broke down.
"Sena, dear, are you okay? What happened?" Mrs. Kobayakawa asked his son when she heard the scream.
"N-nothing mom, I'm fine…Just a nightmare mom…" Sena replied weakly.
"My poor son. I guess you have a lot of stress. Get up dear, it will help."
"Haiii."
Sena jumped off the bed and went into the bathroom. The hot water didn't make him forget that bad dream. The sound of the nightmare echoed in his head. Again, he was hurt and tired.
"Sena, breakfast is ready. Your father and I will wait for you downstairs, okay?"
"Thanks mom…."
The tiny running back went to school after he had his breakfast. The chocolate box was set in his bag carefully. He walked slowly and looked around randomly. When he arrived at school, someone dragged Sena into a corner near the clubhouse.
"Sena, sorry for pulling you away like this, but I need to talk to you."
Sena knew that voice: Jumonji.
"Jumonji-kun, why you are here? Practice…" Sena said, blushed a bit because Jumonji was holding him tightly.
"Don't worry about that. Sena…" the line man said softly, pulled Sena closer to his chest. Damn, he was so small and weak. It made the other teen want to protect him.
"Jumonji-kun.…"
"Sena…I-I am in love with you, Sena. I have loved you for a long time."
Eyes widening in surprise, the running back didn't know what to do. Jumonji loved him? It couldn't be. He had never imagined this.
"Wh-what did you say? Please don't joke with me about that…."
"No, I am serious. I. LOVE .YOU. SENA." Jumonji emphasized each word. He hugged Sena and whispered, "I love you, really…."
Sena was confused. He couldn't speak or move a muscle. But when he thought about Hiruma, Sena found his control.
"No... Please no, Jumonji-kun…." Sena tried to escape from Jumonji's large arms, but they were wrapping around his body. "I…I love someone else."
"You love that ****ing Hiruma, don't you?" the scar guy said coldly and hugged Sena tighter.
"Jumonji-kun…Why…." Then Sena's silence answered everything.
"I knew it, I knew you loved him…But Sena, he hurt you. He was dating another girl in front of your face..."
"…"
"He isn't good for you. I saw everything yesterday. Sena, I also saw your reaction. He doesn't deserve you."
"Enough. Please stop, Jumonji-kun…" the young teen said. The lineman was surprised by what Sena was saying.
Once again, tears fell down Sena's cheeks. The hurt, the pain…he just wanted it to stop.
"Sena…."
"Jumonji-kun…Thank you…But I can't answer your feelings.…"
"Sena…."
"Please hear me out. I can only love him…No matter how much he hurt me, I will love him, only him…."
Sena finally escaped from Jumonji. He ran away and turned back.
"My heart belongs to Hiruma, only him. Sorry, Jumonji."
