What's inside it?
~.~.~.~.~.~.~
Normal POV
Shinsuke was caught up between the tension. It wasn't long before he finally spoke up. "Uh...well. I better be going, sangoku senpai and I will have our practice" he excused himself pointing his thumb behind him. He only then left when the two nodded in response.
Now , Kariya and Hikaru were left in pregnant silence. Hikaru was still drawing, not that Kariya knew what it was.
Kariya's POV
'What's with this atmosphere?!' I screamed inside my head. 'Aah this is making me nervous. I have to break this silence somehow. Oh, that's right, he hasn't eaten yet'
"Hikaru you haven't eaten yet right?" I questioned him and he gave me a nod in response. Upon knowing the answer, I picked up something from the bento and positioned it in his mouth. He flushed, surprised by my sudden action, as his canvas almost fell from his grip.
Of course I knew the position I'm in, which also made my heart beat a mile per second. He protested, shooking his head in a frantic movement. "It's okay I'm not hungry" he said, trying to push my hand away.
"No. I insist. It's yours afterall. I'll feel bad if you don't eat a few bites, come on open up" I argued angling the food I have in my hand ready to push inwards his mouth when it slightly opened but he dodged it.
I was able to get one in his mouth, though he still stubbornly resisted another. A few tries came ahead as it became more playful, we would smile and laugh. The atmosphere between us became more joyful, just then the school bell rang.
Hikaru and I quickly packed our bags. Just when we were about to leave for the next subject. Hikaru quickly ran off saying that he left an important material for the next class, which is inside his locker. Without noticing he dropped his sketch pad.
'Should I open it?' He started getting into art a few weeks back. He would always make me look at his progress and teased him for being so lousy. As days past by we rarely talk like the old times. Guess he got tired of me always making of him? Maybe it's just me. I mean we're in the same class, often communicate given the chances but it would end up in short sentences or just a word, nothing more. It seems ages that we smiled and laugh together like today. I should thank shinsuke later or not, it may get complicated. Somehow I feel relaxed since the few days ago I felt so restless. I didn't know the reason why and so I often asked Kirino-sempai for advice or what could be the cause. He would often tell me that maybe I was just hungry, tired or had some kind of sickness. Though it never provide remedy. It would get worse everytime I see... well speak of the devil... here he comes.
"Kariya! Why do you have that?" the ex-captain of the soccer team said in a frantic tone. What does he mean..."Oh! This sketch pad? It belongs to Hikaru, he forgot it" Yep. My blood is boiling all right. This man is an air head why can't he just see through Kirino-sempai's feelings. "Did you open it?" he asked. "Huh? Oh no, I was planning to, why?" Is there a secret written or portrayed in it? If I recall Hikaru never let me see to his works of art anymore. "Well then I'll be the one to return it if you please give it to me" he ordered. "Why? Is there a reason that I can't be trusted to return someone's possesion?" I retorted. He really pisses me off. Just when I finally steamed some of my juice when Hikaru was here. Another reason is that the past few days I saw him with Hikaru at a cafe. . .Them. You can't just monopolize a person...maybe I'm just over reacting unless. "There's something inside that only me and Hikaru must know. He mustn't just left such an important thing." he answered before I could ask. Dumbfounded, I could not kick back if it's so important but why was it Shindou and not me that Hikaru trusted the secret? I left the sketch pad on the cafeteria table beside Shindou and left without turning back. 'Why does this affect me so?' I wanted to know all the more what the sketch pad contained.
