Chap 1
In this island where only exocists live, everyday might be peaceful, but it can be terrified too, all of it depends on you. If you don't give it your best, you die. Isn't it the worst scenario a person can think of? Althought almost everyone has left, Kankurou is still there, sitting by the window. His mind is full of things, but outside he is just a bit sleepy or so they think. What is he thinking? Almost everytime Kengo meets Kankurou, he has the same question, in spite of being a childhood friend.
The evening light embrace his figure, if Kengo has to say, then yes, Kankurou is beautiful, but maybe that idiot just doesn't know about it. Kengo called his name twice, but he didn't reply, that makes Kengo really irritated and he doubt that bastard would just sleep here if he leaves him like that.
"Hey, let's go hom- wtf"
A knife suddenly fell down when Kengo was just about to step in, this time Kankurou looks at his expression and returns to his normal self. He lazily picks up his bag and the knife, then say to Kengo that he was too careless. That makes him receive a punch from the angry Kengo.
"Why did I even have to worry for this quack doctor?"
He thinks so, but instead of leaving him, he just follows Kankurou, along with Nene has been waiting at the door. They just go home like that. Nene usually doesn't talk or show much of her feeling, but she is kind and nice so Kengo has no problem when it comes to these two in Mitosaka house.
...
Kengo doesn't have much friends, due to the accident happened at that time, he has lost his trust to people, especially people in his house but not all of them. Everytime he thinks about it, there is a voice inside that tells him to kill them, or some disgust things that he never want to do, and only Kankurou and Nene know about it. At least they didn't hate him for this.
But whenever he is left alone with thoughts, the feelings would just come and make him a bit out of control. He wants to get over with this, but he doesn't know how. Why is this happening to him? And why did they do this to him? He doesn't know, no one know. He clenched his fists, try to breath just to calm himself.
"Are you lonely without me that much?"
Kankurou's voice somehow calm Kengo down, each time he tease Kengo like this, Kengo would just forget everything and go smash him. Of course with no full energy because no one would want to see Kankurou gets mad. Never.
"I'm not." Kengo replies after he feels alright and takes a look behind him. Kankurou and Nene is there, inside the hall. Because of age difference, they didn't study in the same class, so they would meet in the lunch time. Those two joined him shortly after that, but Kengo feels so sleepy after drinking the tea Kankurou offers him, then ends up sleeping leaning on Kankurou's shoulder. Somehow he could hear a bit of their conversation.
"Kengo-sama doesn't seem so well today."
"I put some sleeping pills in his drink."
"I see."
He must have seen his dark circles under his eyes. Last night and the night before too, Kengo cannot sleep because of nightmares. Thanks to those pills he can sleep soundly now, but isn't this the time for school? He just doesn't care anymore. He wants to rest.
"The only regret I have is I couldn't be there to protect him."
...
When Kengo wakes up it's already evening, and Kankurou is still there. Right, they skipped class, how bad it is for their image he wonders. Looking at Kankurou from the above on his lap is strange, does he always have those eyes? The eyes that is filled with angry and awareness.
He didn't say a thing even when he realizes Kengo has woken up, he just looks at him like he is waiting for something. Kankurou must have been tired too. Kengo couldn't find any words to say at a time like this.
"Where is Nene?" Finally, he managed to get out of the awkwardness.
"There is someone back so she has to go home first."
Kengo gets up, it's getting late so maybe they'd better go home soon. But Kankurou has stopped him immediately. He wants to say something. The warmth from his hand slowly warms up Kengo's hands makes him feel a bit embarrassing. What is he trying to do?
