King and Prince
Chapter 28: Breaking up
The four of them looked at each other wondering why they're youngest lover looked kinda pale.
"Hey Ryo...what's the matter?" Sanada asked. He was about to touch Ryoma's shoulder when the boy slapped his hand away.
Sanada, Atobe, Tezuka and Fuji looked shocked at the sudden change of the boy.
"Let's break up."
Running like someone was after him, Ryoma stopped when he noticed his already in front of their house. He opened the door of their house while catching his breath.
"I can't believe I jut said that..." Ryoma thought, beads of sweat rolling down his face.
He ran towards the bathroom, not bothering to open the lights. He wanted to puke so badly.
"I don't want to see them...I'm not worth it." He looked at himself in front of the mirror. "I'm not worth it..."
Suddenly, Ryoma's phone vibrated inside his pocket. He quickly took it out and answered the call.
"Where the hell are you, damn brat?" Atobe shouted.
Ryoma closed his eyes and let the phone slide out of his hands.
"Hey brat! I'm talking to you!" He can still hear Atobe's voice against the phone. "Ryoma!"
Ryoma closed his eyes and leaned against the cold wall.
"I'm really sorry."
Back at the Oshitari hotel...
"Ryoma! Answer me you damn brat!" Atobe continued to shout ignoring the people looking at him.
Tezuka sighed and snatched the phone away from his lover. "Stop it Kei."
Atobe was about to retort when Fuji spoke.
"Calm down. There's no use in what you're doing." Fuji whispered, patting Atobe's back.
"Come on." Sanada commanded walking out of the hall. His other lovers followed him.
"Meow...meow..."
Ryoma opened his eyes when he heard Karupin.
"I fell asleep ha..." Ryoma whispered while rubbing his eyes. He looked at the clock and sighed. "Anyway, I have to find a part-time job..." He stood up and went downstairs to eat breakfast.
Dawn...
Hyotei library
Sakuno looked up when she saw Tezuka and Sanada in front of her. "S-sempai-tachi?" She called out, shocked at the sudden visit.
"Sorry to bother you Ryuzaki-san, but do you know where Ryoma is? We haven't seen him for a while..." Tezuka asked.
The girl thought for a minute. "Well, he told us he's going to find some work so he left early."
Tezuka and Sanada looked at each other. "Work?"
Cake shop
Ryoma bowed in front of the owner. "Thank you for accepting me here. I'll do my best."
The owner laughed heartily. "Don't worry about it son, it's good that someone still wants this job."
Ryoma smiled. 'This way, I can forget about them...'
The door chimes rang signaling someone entered the shop. Ryoma turned around only to see Momo in his school uniform.
"Momo-sempai?" Ryoma muttered.
The latter looked at Ryoma with a surprised expression.
"Ryoma? What the hell are you..." He glanced at Ryoma's outfit. "You're working here?"
"Yup." Ryoma answered. "Anyway, why are you here? It's rare for you to buy cakes."
Momo smiled sheepishly. "Well, my mom's birthday is near so I have to buy some cakes for her."
"Oh..." Ryoma muttered. "What would you like, sir?"
The customer grinned and looked at the display of cakes.
"Hm...I want that!" Momo pointed the strawberry shortcake.
"Alright." Ryoma took out the cake and wrapped it.
"Ryoma." Momo called out so sweetly that it sent shivers down Ryoma's body.
"W-what?" He stuttered still wrapping the cake.
"I'm so sorry for all the things that I did to you..."
Ryoma stopped. "It's not your fault Momo-sempai..."
"But...!"
"Here's your cake sir, thank you and have a nice day."
Ryoma sighed while walking down the road.
"I don't want to remember it again..." He said to himself.
"Ryo!"
Ryoma turned around to see Momo running towards him.
"Sempai?" Momo stopped in front of him still grinning. "What?"
"You want to go on a date?"
The boy stared at him blankly. "Sorry, I'm not into dating someone now."
"I was just joking! Come on!" Momo pulled Ryoma's arm making the latter gasp.
Shocked at the reaction, Momo released Ryoma. "S-sorry!"
Ryoma smiled. "Fine, just this once, I'll go."
Momo's smiled and laughed. "Yay!"
Ramen store
Ryoma put down the empty bowl. "Thanks for the meal."
Momo smiled and patted Ryoma's head. "So...do you forgive me now?"
"I told you, it's not your fault." Ryoma said fixing his things.
"Ryoma...listen..."
Ryoma looked at Momo with serious eyes.
"It's not your fault, Momo-sempai." He stood up. "Thanks, I'm going now. Ja."
Tomorrow morning...park
Ryoma looked up and saw Sakuno smiling at him.
"Hey." Ryoma greeted the girl.
"Ohayou, Ryoma-kun." Sakuno greeted back sitting down beside Ryoma.
"Sorry for suddenly calling you at a time like this." Ryoma muttered looking away from Sakuno.
Sakuno chuckled. "It's no big deal. I'm free anyway. So...what's the problem? It's rare for you to call me."
"Well...you see, I broke up with them."
Sakuno froze. "What?"
"I broke up with them...with the four chancellors."
Sakuno suddenly stood up, her face red from anger. "Why?"
Ryoma stared at her, wondering why she was so angry . "..."
"I can't believe that you broke up with them!" Sakuno shouted. I was so happy to see the five of you together! It's rare to see a five-some in this days! (A/N: Not really :P)
"I just realized that we were so different...I mean, they're like people who's impossible for someone like me to love. I can't reach up to them." Ryoma bowed his head, shamed from confessing his problems to Sakuno.
Sakuno sighed and smiled. "You stupid boy...can't you see that the four of them are willing to throw everything just to be with you."
Ryoma's eyes widened. He sighed in defeat. "How dare you call me stupid, little girl."
Sakuno laughed. "Big talk from someone who's also small."
The two of them laughed.
"So what if you're the four councilors? I won't back down just because of that stupid fact."
"You really don't know who you're talking to. I'm going to show you the consequence of defying me."
A tall boy looked outside the window with revengeful eyes.
"Good day sir, the car is ready." An old butler informed.
The boy clenched his fist and smirked evilly.
"I will never forget the day you made me want to kill myself...this time...I'll take my revenge, just you wait, Atobe Keigo..."
