HEY GUYS, ITS BEEN A WHILE HUH?
SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT!
ANYWAYS I TRIED FOR A LONG TIME TRYING TO IMAGINE JUST HOW HITORI AND CHIAKI WOULD FEEL IN THIS SITUATION, BUT IT JUST DIDN'T COME TO ME AS EASY AS THE OTHERS?
ANYWAYS HERE YOU GO!
I ALSO OWN NOTHING, AND HARU BELONGS TO SHAY-CHAN!
The rain began to pour heavily, almost as though it were crying as well, as a young man in his mid-twenties continued his slow walk home. His mind blank, as was the expression on his face. The man just slowly went on, uncaring for the fact that he was getting drenched in the cold rain water. He just kept going.
As he reached the door to his apartment he stopped...and thought about the heart wrenching news he heared.
Flashback
"Hello?" Hitori asked slightly confused. The person on the other line began to babble incoherently. Recognizing the voice as Kisa Hatori asked what's wrong. In response Kisa's babbles didn't get any better. However he was able to make out two words that cut through his very soul. "Ricchan...murdered..."
End Flashback
His eyes began to sting, and his vision got blurry. His throat felt as though it had been dehydrated for decades. His breath became more and more rugged.
Similar to Kisa, Hatori viewed Ritsu as a little brother. Sure he teased him from time to time, but isn't that what brothers do? Ritsu came to HIM when he needed help, because most of the time he was too stubborn to ask Takano. He revealed his insecurities to him as well.
So why?! Why is the world so cruel to take away his little brother?!
What did he ever do to deserve this?!
No longer able to hold it back anymore, Hatori silently allowed the tears to flow down his face.
CREAK!
"Tori? Are you okay?" The worried voice of his childhood friend and lover caught his attention. He slowly looked at Chiaki's face and stared at the blue eyes, that any other time he would allow himself to get lost in.
Seeing the tears and puffy eyes only caused Chiaki's heart to ache. However he felt as though Hatori wouldn't get any comfort by simply talking about it.
But...
Even so, he couldn't just leave Hatori alone! He was ALWAYS there for him! So he'll be there for Tori too!
So he quickly ushered Hatori inside the apartment, and as calmly as he could as if speaking to a mere toddler asked "What happened Tori?"
Hatori froze like a deer caught in the headlights opened his mouth to respond. "..." However he wasn't able to say anything as his voice only got caught in his throat.
He took deep breaths, trying to calm himself down...but it was no use. His breathing got more and more frantic and harsh.
He tried to talk again, and this time succeeding on getting some of the words out... "...Onodera...dead...murdered..."
Chiaki's eyes snapped wide open in shock. Why would someone actually want to hurt someone as nice as Ritsu, much less kill him?!
Ritsu was always so nice and polite to him, he didn't make fum of him for writing shoujo manga. He was supporting of his and Tori's relationship...even though he was obviously in shock.
...
So...why...and who? IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!
...
A deep shuttering intake of air snapped him out of his thoughts. He quickly turned to Hatori and was surprised to see his head bowed, and the slight movement of his shoulders shaking. That's right! Tori knows...knew Ritsu longer, and was also so mich closer to him than he was. So of course he's taking it so bad!
No longer able to conceal it, Hatori fell down onto his hands and knees with a loud
TWUMP!
The tears just came back faster and faster, there was no need to even wipe them away anymore. His teeth clenched tightly together as he tried so hard to not break down.
But it was no use, the damn broke and so did his resolve
Cries echoed throughout the apartment complex so loudly he was able to hear the neighbors complaining, but he didn't care. His little brother was killed so why should he have to worry about some stupid neighbors?!
So lost in his despair, he almost didn't notice Chiaki wrapping his arms around him in a hug, in an attempt to comfort him of this tragedy.
The two just sat there holding each other crying, because they didn't just lose a coworker or a friend
...
...
...
They lost a brother.
