Previously:
"Yuma, you're just like this flower"said Astral, while pointing at the daisy, with his poker face
"Huh?"
"Yeah, because in my mind, Yuma is always smiling...When the basketball practice is though, you don't complain, even When you're yelled at...because you're strong, you come across as a friendly person"
"..."
"I think those qualities are like that daisy. Whether you're in the concrete, or in the sewer...No matter how bad the situation is, you're strong enough to keep your head held high, looking toward the sky. That is why, I prefer this flower...Because I think Daisies are the prettiest"finished Astral with a smile
"..What nonsense...why are you saying that you like daisies the most?...You're so foolish sempai, during Junior high you were the one who broke my heart..It was so painful..but as I thought...I really like you, I've..fallen in love with you..."thought Yuma before gently touching the daisy's petals.
"...I'm happy"
"..Yuma?"
"...I am glad that I could be the daisy. Thanks Astral-sempai"continued Yuma with his eyes filled with joy and some Wind passing on his face. Astral's eyes widened for a fraction of seconde, because of the person in front of him, before returning to normal "...No worries"continued Astral, while looking away, with a small smile on his face
"..I'm so an idiot...but if Astral-sempai says that the daisy is alright, then just for a while...I want to stay this flower..."
Chapter 5
XXXXX The next day - in the 1st years's classroom during lunch time XXXXXX
"Still stressing over it?" asked a green haired girl to her friend
"hm..."
"Come on, Yuma, join the basketball club. After all, Astral-sempai and the others aren't there"
"Yeah...but still, I still don't understand and believe that they don't play basket. anymore..."
"Well that's true, they did mention that they wanted to continue playing basketball in middle school."
"Right? Isn't strange?"
"If it annoy you that much, then go ask the basketball club"
XXXXX IN THE HALLWAY XXXXXX
In the hallway, we could see Yuma walking and drinking his canned juice
"In the end yesterday, I didn't ask Astral-sempai why he wasn't in the club"thought Yuma
There was people talking about something on the other corner of the corridor. After seeing who it was, Yuma unintentionally hid.
"What is Astral-sempai doing here?" asked Yuma to himself.
"Stop Shark...You know that he doesn't want to come back.."said a boy (Kaito)
"but..."
" *Sigh*...I'm going back to our class"
The purple haired boy turned his head to face again the person he was talking to, before telling him "Astral, reconsider it and you can lead the others"
"What are they talking about?"thought Yuma
"...I'm really sorry, Shark, but...I'm not planning on coming back"
"...?"
The boy took Astral's shoulders before asking him "Astral! I understand the pain you're going through, but did you think that if you stopped going to club activities, It would bring Hana back?!"
From the shock,the can that was in Yuma's hand fell on the floor. Astral turned to see his kouhai. "...Yuma.."
"This boy...wasn't he the one behind the school last time?...wait! what did he say? Yuma?!"thought Shark
The crimson eyed boy advanced and took back the can. With his bangs hiding his eyes, he asked his sempai "...Astral-sempai...why did you..give up on club activities?"
"..."
"What is this bad feeling?...Hana-sempai won't come back?..."thought Yuma
"...I can't play" He had really sad look, full of regrets. Astral advanced and said something in Yuma's ear, that made the 1st year's eyes widen in shock. After finishing what he had to say, Astral walked back to his class.
Yuma's POV
"My mind is blank...all I can hear is Astral's sempai's voice echoing in my head..."
"...I can't play.."
"...?"
"... A year ago, Hana died in an accident...Since then, I couldn't...I wasn't able to play basketball..."continued Astral
XXX
"H-hey!"said the purple haired boy, before catching Yuma. "...are you alright?"
"...Liar.."mumbled Yuma
"..What?"
"..The daisy being his favourite is a lie...He actually likes another flower, right?..."said Yuma while tightening his grasp on Shark's uniform and some tears falling from his eyes to his cheeks.
"...?"
Yuma put one of his hand on his face, before gently pushing his second sempai away (a/n: Shark has the same uniform as Astral + he is in the same class as him)
"...No, about that...I knew about it..."thought Yuma
"Hey...Are you sure you're alright?"asked again the boy
Yuma turned his head to face his sempai."..Shark...why?... He told him while crying"...I couldn't even bloom in the corner of Astral-sempai's heart..."
Shark's eyes widened in shock at his long lost friend. Without thinking, he hugged Yuma tightly before taking his arm and taking him somewhere
"O-Oi, Shark were are we going?"
"I finally found you after you disapeared and when I do, I found you crying about the same guy"
"...!This guy is your friend"
"Yeah and he is also..."
"..also?..."
"Nothing" "Why is Yuma here? No...why doesn't he know about Hana? I thought that he knew...I need to tell Kaito about this, Yuma's back! Maybe Astral can even find hapinesss again!"
