-Summer Heat-
"Tsukimori-kun, would you like to come to my villa next week?" asked Kaji bluntly. Without realizing the blue haired violinist confusion, Amou appeared and…
"That's a good idea!!" she answered Kaji's question cheerfully.
The next week, Kaji who has invited everyone in the ensemble brought them to his heaven-like villa.
"Wow! Your villa is amazing! May I take some photos here?" asked Amou with enthusiasm.
"Sure," answered Kaji with his smiling face.
After she heard Kaji's approval, she left Kaji with Kahoko and Fuyu'umi in enthusiasm. For awhile Kaji watched the cheerful girls play around his villa. Then, he looked to the others who also enjoying themselves there.
'It's good to have everyone here. I never thought that the senpais would agree to my sudden holiday plan,' thought Kaji while he was looking at Hihara and Yunoki whom talking in joyous looks.
'Even for Tsuchiura-kun and Tsukimori-kun,' Kaji looked at the two teenagers and lost in his deep thought.
'I never know that their bonds are that deep,' Kaji sighed while watching the two teenagers arguing about something.
'If only I don't have any burden like Shimizu-kun,' again, Kaji lost in his thought while staring at Shimizu who slept peacefully on the big sofa.
'Well, I think this isn't bad either. Even at the first place, I intended to invite Tsukimori only though,' Kaji sighed.
In the evening…
"Kaji-kun, did you see Tsukimori-kun or Tsuchiura-kun?" asked Kahoko worried.
"Huh? Tsukimori-kun and Tsuchiura-kun?"
"Yeah, they've gone for an hour and haven't come back,"
"Both of them?" asked Kaji curiously.
"Yes," answered Kahoko honest.
"What happened Kaji-kun, Hino-san?" greeted Yunoki who accompanied by Hihara.
"Well, Tsukimori-kun and Tsuchiura-kun have gone for an hour and haven't come back. Yet, we don't know where they have gone," answered Kahoko worried.
"Tsukimori and Tsuchiura?" asked Hihara surprised. Kahoko nodded.
"Did you know something, Hihara?" asked Yunoki while looking at the fellow teen's face.
"If I'm not mistaken, they were arguing about something and even I don't know where'd they go, I'm sure that they went out from the back door," explained Hihara.
"Now that you mentioned it, I heard they were arguing about their music. I thought they're performing a duel now," added Yunoki.
"Is there any music room in this villa?" asked Yunoki calmly.
"Yes there are. But, it's on the different building and that room is locked, I think," answered Kaji hesitantly.
"Honestly, are they kids? Arguing about something like that and made a ruckus in somebody's villa," Kahoko mumbled and sighed defenselessly.
"To be honest, I didn't mind if it's Tsukimori-kun,"
"Huh?"
"Nothing, I just said that why don't we go search for them?" asked Kaji hastily.
Meanwhile…
"It's your fault," whispered Tsukimori sarcastically.
"My fault?!" asked Tsuchiura angry.
"Yes, if in the first place you didn't start that useless conversation, we won't be locked in this room," Tsukimori explained.
"Alright, today I'll admit my defeat. Then, did you have any idea to exit this creepy building?" asked Tsuchiura hopelessly.
"Who know? I've never came to this villa before so what are you expected from me?" asked Tsukimori bluntly.
"I knew that you didn't know anything about anything but, I never expected a fast answer like that," replied Tsuchiura.
"Don't talk too much and do something if you want to exit this place," again, Tsukimori talked sarcastically.
"Okay, okay," answered Tsuchiura halfheartedly.
"Oi, Tsukimori!"
"…………."
"Tsukimori!"
"…………"
"Tsukimori, watch your step!" Tsuchiura caught Tsukimori's hand and pulled him when Tsukimori almost stepping on a fragile wood floor.
"It's dangerous to walk around in a dark and fragile building like this. Watch your step," whispered Tsuchiura, he sighed on top of Tsukimori's head. Tsukimori stand still inside his embrace and frozen in shock.
It's obvious that he remembered about the embrace of another guy.
"Tsukimori?" Tsuchiura tried to call Tsukimori's name but, he got no answer.
"Oi, Tsukimori," again, he called without realizing that their position is a suspicious one (for sure, they looks like a lovers, maybe).
"Sorry if we disturbed you but, how long are you trying to keep hugging each other like that?" asked Yunoki while he's smiling in amusement.
"AH! Sorry, Tsukimori," Tsuchiura realized and released Tsukimori from his embrace.
"I don't know if you two had that kind relationship, sorry if I'm—" Kahoko who tried to apologized, blushed and couldn't continue her words.
"Hey, hey, I think you've misunderstand about something," Tsuchiura tried to explained the misunderstanding.
"I'll go back to my room," said Tsukimori while he was walking away.
"Oi, Tsukimori, is it okay for them to misunderstand about us?" asked Tsuchiura with half-kidding tone.
"There nothing between us, so there's nothing to be explain of. Did I make myself clear?" asked Tsukimori coldly before he left everyone in that building.
The next day, Kahoko apologized for the misunderstanding she had. Why? It's because, her misunderstanding made Amou took an interest to the cool violinist's and the sporty pianist's relationships (which of course made Tsukimori's mood even worsened).
For all day, Tsukimori didn't speak to anyone and locked himself in his room (to avoid Amou's annoying interview). Sometimes, he played his violin but not too long after he played, he didn't do anything.
A day before the last day…
"It almost the last day we stay here but, it seems Tsukimori's mood even worsened than before," said Yunoki worried.
"It's all my fault that his mood getting bad," regretted Kahoko.
"It's not your fault Kaho-chan," Hihara tried to comfort Kahoko.
"Yeah, he often sulks like a child does. You didn't have to think about it too much," added Tsuchiura.
"But, if this last until the last day, doesn't it looks bad?" asked Amou cheerfully.
"And do you think whose fault is this?" asked Tsuchiura while sighing hopelessly.
"I just worsened the situation a bit, right?" asked Amou in relax manner.
"It's good that you understand it. But—"
Before Tsuchiura could finish his words, Tsukimori appeared before them and looked at them silently.
Yunoki smiled to Tsukimori then asked…
"Where are you going, Tsukimori-kun?" asked Yunoki calmly.
"Out," Tsukimori answered shortly.
"Be careful on your way out there," said Yunoki again.
Then, Tsukimori went out. For awhile, everyone in the room silenced and…
"… Is he serious to go out with that kind of outfit?" asked Tsuchiura worried.
"I bet it's pretty hot out there and I don't think he would back alive, if he went out with a black long sleeve like that," added Hihara with a pale face.
"…….." Kaji silenced and didn't comment anything.
Kaji stood up and walked away.
"Kaji-kun?"
"I'll go look after him, everyone please wait me here," added Kaji hastily.
Then, as he said, he followed Tsukimori and found the unconscious violinist lied before the front door.
'As I thought, he's bad with the hot weather,' thought Kaji. He sighed a bit then he carried the fellow violinist inside.
A couple hours later…
"…………….. Nn," Tsukimori recovered his consciousness and opened his eyes in his own room.
"Finally you awake," said someone who sat on Tsukimori's bedside.
"Ka… ji," called Tsukimori shortly.
"You've fainted right after you set your foot out from the villa. To think that you fainted right after you went out, I never thought that you're that weak to hot weather," teased Kaji while he's playing with Tsukimori's hairs.
"Sorry if I'm that weak," Tsukimori pushed away Kaji's hand.
Paused for a while and Kaji started to play with Tsukimori's hair again.
"What were you doing with Tsuchiura in that music building yesterday?" asked Kaji softly.
"Are you trying to implied that I have a relationship with—"
"No, I'm serious. I want to know what happened between you two yesterday," said Kaji once again.
Tsukimori silenced and won't say a word.
"… You won't answer?" asked Kaji, still playing with Tsukimori's blue hairs.
"I don't have anything to explain of to begin with. There's nothing happened and that's all," replied Tsukimori coldly.
Kaji silenced again. His hand went down to Tsukimori's neck and touched it tenderly. Tsukimori closed his eyes and his body turned stiff.
"… If there's nothing happened between you…"
"…?"
"Can you explain what the meaning of this?" asked Kaji while pointing to a mark which exist on Tsukimori's neck.
Tsukimori silenced and realized that he has done something wrong after.
"Now you won't talk, huh?" whispered Kaji in his fake smile. Tsukimori avoid an eye contact between them. He didn't think that it was necessary to explain about that to the fellow teen.
"Why won't you explain it to me?" asked Kaji softly. Now, he touched Tsukimori's cheek tenderly.
"It's not necessary," answered Tsukimori softly, still avoiding Kaji's eyes.
Kaji silenced again, Tsukimori finally looked into Kaji's sad eyes.
"Ka—" before Tsukimori could call Kaji's name, Kaji kissed him forcefully.
"Mmnnn—!?" Tsukimori shocked by Kaji's sudden attack and tried to free himself from the painful kiss.
"What are you—"
"Mnnh—!!" Kaji didn't give Tsukimori any gap to run neither talk.
Kaji watched Tsukimori's face which reddened in embarrassment. He intended to humiliate the fellow teen before him by inserting his tongue inside Tsukimori's warm mouth.
"S-sto—!! Mmng—!!" Tsukimori tried to stop Kaji intention but he couldn't break the kisses.
Tsukimori's effort was meaningless. He couldn't escape from Kaji's anger. Now, he regretted his intention to keep silence about a simple truth.
Tsukimori's grips on Kaji's shirt weaken. He, who couldn't escape or do anything, let Kaji do anything as he wished.
For a while, Tsukimori thought that Kaji was going to devour him. But…
"Why…?" whispered Kaji softly, right after their lips separated.
"Huh?"
"Why won't you tell me?" again, Kaji whispered with a sad expression.
"Kaji—"
"Is he that precious for you and make you defend him like this?" asked Kaji desperately.
"It's not—"
"Then, please explain it to me so I can understand! What the meaning of his existence for you?" asked Kaji again.
Kaji looked straight into Tsukimori's eyes and made Tsukimori surrendered to his sad beautiful eyes.
"It's a mosquito," mumbled Tsukimori softly.
"Huh?"
"It was bitten by the mosquito yesterday and of course it didn't have any relation to him," Tsukimori continued.
"… So…"
"You've misunderstand about it completely," replied Tsukimori bluntly with a sarcastic tone.
"………………………." a long pause after that and...
Kaji kneeled on the floor then…
"Sorry," he apologized with all of his courage and regrets.
"What are you apologizing for? It's disgusting," again, Tsukimori talked with a sarcastic tone.
Tsukimori's words stabbed Kaji's heart completely.
"I know but, I really regret my rude actions to you," said Kaji again. He avoided any eye contact with the blue haired teen because he's too afraid to face him.
"You regret it?" asked Tsukimori in disbelief.
"Yes. I really regret my actions that have involved you with my own jealousy. I'm really immature. Even though I couldn't help but thought that something happened between you and Tsuchiura-kun, but—"
"It's still not a proper way to show my feelings to you," Kaji continued.
"It's not something that you should regret of. Actually we're both guys, so there's nothing is lost and also nothing we gain. It's just a kiss and it's not that important anyway. So I don't really mind it," Tsukimori replied to Kaji's words flatly.
"Even you don't mind, but I mind!" said Kaji angrily.
Kaji looked into Tsukimori's eyes with a serious expression.
A smile bloomed on Tsukimori's face and mesmerized the fellow teenager.
"If you mind it then, why don't you take responsible for it?" asked Tsukimori still in his smile.
Kaji can't speak any words to describe his feeling that time. Before he can read the situation completely, Tsukimori's hand reached him and before he knew it, Tsukimori has embraced him.
Slowly but surely, Tsukimori whispered something on the blonde's ear.
No one knows about what Tsukimori has said to him. But, from now on and ever, only the two of them who would understand the meaning of those words.
