Chapter 5: Greece and Japan.
All the one reply conversations, the quiet days, and things they never had to say. With Greece's quiet disposition and Japan's inverted character, the two got along very well. Alfred had called them best friends because they were always together.
Those days that they were together they barely talked though. They never felt the need to speak. Greece would take his naps and Japan would play with the many cats that just loved him and Greece. The two were just being themselves, though Japan felt like something was wrong with his friend; he didn't want to bother him. They laid under the sun, basking in its warmth. Just visiting Greece's mother's ruins, a sight that Japan had always loved.
Greece sat up, making his friend jump in surprise. The Greek man had been having trouble sleeping for once, something almost totally unheard of. Japan decided that if his friend was having trouble sleeping then it was worth the risk of asking.
"Greece-san? Is something troubling you?" Japan asked quietly.
Greece waited to reply, his slow demeanor still there despite his internal distress. He looked like he was debating about something. Eventually he opened his mouth to reply.
"For today, can we call each other by our human names?" For such an important question, he still managed to say it with sleepiness in his voice. Japan smiled at him.
"Of course, Herakles-san." They lapsed back into silence.
Hours passed and they didn't say another word. They watched the sun set on the ruins, and while Kiku could tell that something was still bothering Herakles he said no more on the subject. When night fell Kiku left with a final goodbye, thanking Herakles for spending the day with him. Herakles opened his mouth to say something as Kiku left, but closed it and wished Kiku a good night as well.
Kiku didn't see Herakles for a week after that. While he rarely ever went anywhere unannounced he was getting too worried about his friend to wait anymore. Kiku went to Herakles' house, gently knocking on the door. He had a standing invitation to come in whenever but he always knocked first. It was just habit. He waited five minutes before opening the door, thinking that his friend was taking a nap like he normally was. He was shocked by what he saw.
The entire house was empty. There weren't even the normal hundreds of cats. There was just nothing there, it was like Herakles had never been there in the first place. Kiku heard a sound from the back of the house, and slowly moved back there hoping he wasn't intruding. Maybe Herakles had moved and that's why he hasn't seen him? Who knows? Kiku quickly identified the noise as a cat meowing.
In the very farthest back room was a lone cat, one that Kiku identified as 'Captain Cat'. He was one of Herakles' favorite cats, so Kiku quickly discarded the idea that Herakles left him behind on purpose. Captain Cat pranced right up to Kiku, happy that there was another being there with him Kiku picked him up with a small smile, petting him behind the ears.
"Where is Herakles?" The cat mewed in reply, not helping Kiku at all.
There was nothing, Kiku find nothing that would help him find his friend. The cat was no help at all, he just laid Kiku's arms and purred. Kiku was really starting to get worried. To calm himself he petted the cat more, only to feel something that wasn't meant to be there brush against his fingers. There was a piece of paper attached to Captain Cat's collar. Gently setting down the cat he opened the note.
S 'agapó̱, Kiku.
The sudden realization made Kiku fall to his knees. The cat jumped away from him, startled by his sudden movements. Kiku sat down on the ground, staring at his hands in shock.
It wasn't about all the time they spent together and the few conversations they did have.
What mattered the most was what they never said.
