Chapter 5: Don't know
Yuichi couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that whenever he encountered Wataru, he found himself saying the wrong things all the time. He couldn't help it; it's just that it's Wataru. Wataru made him feel as if he was worth nothing.
Instead of praising him, glorifying him, Wataru scorned him, mocking him each step of the way. A person, he desired but could never have.
'And that's why we can never be together.'
He ran his hand, ruefully through his honey brown bangs and shook his head.
'I screwed up big time.'
He leaned his head against the brick wall behind him; the wall was crumpling away in some places but was solid enough to support his weight.
He ignored the girls, as they passed by him gazing admirably at his good looks. What did it matter? None of them were Wataru.
None of them had that piercing blue gaze, with a hint of warmth and kindness. None of them were slim, yet possessing curves in all the right places that made him delectable. None of them had full pink lips, kissable and wide with an easy-going grin. None of them had brown tresses that fell onto their foreheads, sexy-like and inviting. None of them were Wataru, and none of them could ever be. Wataru was in a class of his own.
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of sand, pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh, who would ever want to be king? (1)
Yuichi was broken out of his reverie when he heard the ring tone of his cell phone. He flipped it open, nonchalantly, and ignored the sighs of more fan girls, as they drooled over his voice.
A smile found his way on his lips, as he smiled at what the other had to say.
"Okay, okay, Yumi," he said, shaking his head, "I'm coming over in about..."
He paused to glance at his watch, "In about ten minutes or so."
He took a final glance at the café and saw the side of Wataru's face. He smirked softly and walked away with a backwards wave.
"See ya later, Wataru."
Wataru paused in mid-bite.
"Was that Kazuki just now?"
He shrugged his shoulders and continued to eat his fudge brownie.
'Umm, this is yummy!'
Yuichi continued to trek down the narrow streets, as the streets twisted this way and that. He paused glancing back and forth before crossing the street at the intersection. He waited, leaning against the pole for the bus. He closed his eyes, images of Wataru running through his head. It wasn't until he heard the steadily growing buzz of conversations around him, did he open his eyes.
Golden-almond eyes, glanced wearily at his loud neighbor, who was insisting quite strongly about something of the story, which his companions kept scorning.
Yuichi observed the loud, brash man, as he waved his arms enthusiastically. He found himself leaning away, as the man's arm threaten to whack him across the face.
"I'm telling you, the boy was a hot one. I'm talking curves, butt..."
"Yeah right," his friends' said, rolling their eyes.
"Just listen; he had beautiful blue eyes, full pink lips, and a peach-like complexion. Man, I would totally tap me some of that. His butt," the man moaned, throwing his head back, "amazing. I managed to squeeze some of that and it was so round."
Yuichi scrunched his nose up in disgust at the man's detailed explanation, but he found his mouth suddenly dry after hearing what else the man had to say.
'Oh my god, I think he's talking about Wataru.'
Yuichi tapped the man on his shoulder. The man paused, mid-way in a sentence and turned around.
He eyed Yuichi up and down, and stared at him in suspicion.
"Yes, can I help you?"
Yuichi smiled charmingly, "Yeah, you can."
"I was wondering did this boy have brown hair, with the bangs sweeping across his forehead."
The guy nodded his head.
"Did he happen to be wearing a red hoodie with a black skull emblazoned on the back, kind of tight, with some baggy khaki pants?"
By now the guy was nodding quite eagerly.
"Yeah, that's the boy. See, this guy knows too," turning around to face his companions.
"Thanks, a lot, man."
"No problem," he smirked, eerily.
BAM!
Yuichi's left fist shoot out only to struck the guy across the face.
The guy fell down, groveling on the ground, while cradling his bruising cheek in one hand. He glanced up, only to cower in fear at the look adorning Yuichi's face.
Yuichi stared down at him, with discontent blazing in his eyes.
"Stay away from my boyfriend."
The guy nodded his head and ran off, with his companions close on his heels.
Yuichi entered the bus, and sat down in the front seat.
The ride to Yumi's house was silent, but it gave him time to think and contemplate the entity that was Wataru.
The sun was casting down, and flecks of orange and purple streaked across the horizon. It was a serene setting, that filled him with peace he just knew that things would get better. Someday he and Wataru might one day watch the sun set together.
I know this chapter seemed short, but I thought focusing a little on Kazuki would be great. The ending was kind of sappy! If anybody can tell me the name of the song for Kazuki's ring tone, I'll dedicate the next chapter to you. Yumi is an oc character, and you guys have to guess what her relationship with Kazuki is.
