c4 (2/2)

Not even looking at the totally destroyed case, he climbed up the stairs

He didn't feel like doing anything Everything lost its color It really was like that He didn't feel like studying hard, either, so his grades dropped His teacher called him and scolded him a little

”You're pathetic You want some help?”

That's what Kakiaze that looked at hi to other people As his heart grew colder, so did the weather And then it was one day, after class

”Kakimoto tells you to come to the music room”

During 5th period's break, Kaki to tell him

”What? You can just tell me on our way home”

That's what he said, but he didn't ask him if they had to meet in class After class he said, ”You HAVE to wait,” and left the room After that, over 30 minutes had passed He watched everyone leave one by one at the corner of his gaze From time to time, he heard the base ball team's yells as they practiced outside Kouichi beca on a chair and waited for Kakimoto

”Music room? What's up with him?”

When Kouichi frowned, Tanaka, as only a ed

”I don't know, but he told you to hurry and coe, so”

Tanaka left the rooue, Kouichi slowly stood up from the chair

The sun was setting The hallway's shadoere long and thin Unless you chose music or entered a band, you wouldn't really be familiar with thecreatures At the end of that hallway, Kaki in front of the roourine

”You”

When Kouichi started to speak, Kakiainst his lips

”Be quiet”

”Youhis voice Kakiled the keys that looked like the ones to the music room

”Go inside But until I say it's okay, don't say even one word”

Kakimoto took a hold of Kouichi's elbow and quietly opened the door The curtained classroorand piano and went to the deeper part of the roon, 'Record Room' As soon as he had opened the room, he shoved Kouichi inside Kouichi lost his balance when Kakiainst the corner of the desk right across from him

”What the hell are you doing?”

When he turned around, the door closed in his face He heard the sounds of the door being locked carefully

”It's totally sound-proof in that room, so you can screa to come back in an hour to open the door for you”

He turned around It was dark, so he couldn't really see He hadn't realized before At the corner of the s, a surprised look on his face

Theon a round steel chair placed in front of the record closet He earing his usual dull grey jacket and dark blue cotton pants His face, which looked at Kouichi with amazement, slowly paled When Kouichi moved a little, he practically ju, he slowly sat back down, looking uncomfortable He only stared at his toes with lowered eyes, not trying to look at Kouichi

He had nothing to say to the man ould reject him this way Just to piss hiht across fros to hi lowered, he could only see the end of the s At the sides of the roo, chaotically filled with classic records, CD, and casette tapes for autu at theht side

”Just what is theof this?”

The man asked about 5 uely shaking

”Was that male student your friend? I didn't even knoho he was, but he toldhe wanted to discuss with me so I came So how come you're here?”

”Don't know”

”That's not possible,” the man scolded him He sounded like he was mad about this sitaution Kouichi scratched the back of his head

”Okay I'll be honest with you”

He slowly stood up

”That guy just noas ets jealous really easily, so I told him clearly that it's already all over between us two, but he's still worried about you He sees for you So I think he did this crap, trying to end thigns for real this ti you into this”

What a selfish jackass he was But the words came out easily If Kakimoto heard this, he would have been pissed like there is no to that, he somehow found it funny, so he snickered to himself

”Is that so,” the man mumbled in a s the way he held his hands together, as if patting his thumb

”When he comes to open the door, I'll tell him clearly myself”

”Okay”

Their conversation ended there Kouichi looked at the head of the standing ainst the wall, his head lowered It hasn't been even a month since he said, 'let's break up' at the memorial center Did he think that Kouichi, who told hiotten him in such a short period of time and already found the next lover? Since he believed hiot hirets already His heart started to ache Theto him He felt like the fact had been rubbed in his face, so he became sad

Suddenly the man sneezed, three tihtly He didn't pay attention because he was getting used to the ses had becahts on The man numbly stared at Kouichi's movements

He stood in front of the man and dropped his jacket coat on top of the man's head

”I'll let you borrow it I'm not that cold”

He returned to his original position, across the room The man clutched at the jacket and looked hesitant, but wrapped it around his shoulders without saying anything The only sound in the room was the tic-toc of the clock To Kouichi, who had his head lowered, he heard faint footstepsof the clock

”I'll give it back to you, after all”

The man handed the jacket to Kouichi

”I'm okay You wear it”

”But then you're going to be cold”

”I'm really okay”

The man smiled only with corners of his mouth

”Don't be sweet to me”

”What are you afraid of”

At Kouichi's words, thethe jacket started to shake visibly

”I a”

”Oh, really”

Theback to Kouichi and went back to his chair by the corner of the room He numbly sat, his head lowered The man covered his face with both of his hands He couldn't hide his shakingly breathing back and tears from Kouichi

”You crying?”

The man didn't reply

”Why are you crying”

He didn't say a single word

”Don't tell me that you want me now”

”Soot into my eyes Would you kindly shut your mouth already?”

His voice tried to sound neutral, but it was shaking He stood up and walked to thehis face, but the man faced the floor

”Keep your hands off of me Do not touch me with the hands that you touched another man with”

”I can touch whomever I want”

”I told you to stop”

The lared at Kouichi with reddened eyes

”You told me so many times you lovedones flexible Or am I old fashi+oned?”

The

”Please go away I think I'll say useless things”

”Go ahead and say them”

”I don't want to say them”

He hugged the protesting body The repulsing strength was suddenly gone and he htened his hold, the rabbed at Kouichi's back

”I don't want to give you up to a brat like that,” the man muttered, as if to himself ”I'm the only one you should know about”

He used his jacket and coat as sheets to make love to the man They couldn't slon at all He wanted the man so much that he couldn't be patient Their aard position and hurried insertion must have caused him pain, but the man wanted Kouichi quickly

”I love you”

As if whispering in his dreaain It was only after second orgasain, that they had a presence ofeach other The ently caressed Kouichi

”Your arm all better?”

He suddenly remembered that his arm looked uncomfortable because of the cast

The hter

”To tell you the truth, I got hurt when you tossed ot a tiny crack in es, but I had a cast on just in case”

”You told me you fell down the stairs”

At Kouichi's troubled voice, the man lowered his eyes

”You're worried I guess you do feel guilty about it?”

”Of course”

”Then please kiss me instead”

The man lifted his body

”What kind of kiss do you want?” Kouichi asked, holding hihtly In Kouichi's arms, the man closed his eyes and muttered,

”A gentle kiss”

He kissed hiently bit down on his lips He did so again and again, very gently The man suddenly stiffened his hold on Kouichi's body He wrapped his arainst his, and then clsoed his eyes

The key made a sound The proive a da eaching other But when Kouichi grinned, he gave hi look and threw the key inside the roo the door closed

”I'm sorry”

TheHe wasn't sure to who

”Don't worry about it”

He gently patted his head, as if reassuring him The man started to tremble more and more

”To tell you the truth”

”Yes?”

”To be honest, that guy just noas my”

The next day, Kakiry

”I'm sorry”

Kouichi apologized again and again since , but he didn't even try to listen to him

”I'm really thankful to you”

During lunch, with thankful heart he ht at the convenience store andmotions with his hands He sniffed with end of his nose

”I knew you guys were beastly, but I was an idiot for thinking you'd have any coht that as a thanks for trying so hard for you, I'd be shown such a disgusting scene”

”But it's all thanks to you”

When he seriously said that, he clucked his tongue lightly

”I was hoping that you guys would break up for once and for all”

Kakimoto stood up from his seat Kouichi shtly spoken, cold, and aard but he was a busybody, and kind Kakimoto was about to leave the room, but he suddenly turned around

”I've been curious since this , but what happend to your left cheek?”

When Kouichi jumped and pressed his left cheek, Kakimoto smirked

”It's kind of big for a hickey, right?”

When he confessed to thea new lover was all a lie, the th After hitting him, the man cried in Kouichi's arms like a child

”I'll never forgive you if you cheat on me”

That was his threatening words It was yet to be seen if the words would chain up the man or Kouichi, but He took out his wallet The key inside fell to the floor He hurriedly picked it up

New key The spare key to the man's new room

When he looked at the key, he suddenly wanted to see his face, so Kouichi stood up He knew the man would make a troubled expression, but he wanted to meet him so much that he couldn't help himself

”Excuse me”

He carefully opened the door to the teacher's lounge TheKouichi's voice, turned around and looked at him He seemed troubled after all, since he cocked his head a little
