Chapter Text
Aira woke up on the last day before his break ended. He knows as soon as he goes back to school he's gonna be miserable again. But there's not much you can do on your last day of break. You have to go to sleep early. And then wake up early. No winning for Aira. Eventually he decides to do the same thing he's been doing his whole break, nothing! Just scroll on the internet all day and fantasize about idols. While scrolling his mom comes in his room. “Aira, are you really not gonna do anything again today?” “Yeah, I don't feel like doing anything today.” His mom sighs thinking of something to say while her son hasn't got off his phone once. “If I give you ¥5,375 to go shopping will you get our of the house?”
Aira immediately puts his phone down and looks at his mom properly. “REALLY?” “Yes, I'm getting worried since you haven't left the house almost the whole break.” He suddenly feels guilty for making his mom worry cause of him. “Get ready then come downstairs to the living room, I'll give the yen to you there.” “Ok!” He replies as his mother exits his room. Shopping can't be that bad!
And he was wrong. As he reached the mall and bumped into his school bullies, just great! “Sorry...” He mutters hoping they'll here him. “Shiratori? Are you really bumping into me?” Aira tries to get up but gets stopped almost immediately. “Where are you going?” “Shopping.” Aira shoves the guy blocking him slightly but just enough to get up. “Pushing me now eh?” Aira walks away but heard something that lingered. “You can run now but we'll see you tomorrow dumbass!”
Once Aira finished shopping he didn't feel his usual joy of buying idol merch. He just felt miserable, maybe going out was a mistake. He just got reminded that he's gonna see them tomorrow at school. Great. While walking home he thought of texting his online friend since he doesn't want to burden his parents about this, but decides against it rather quickly since he knows his friend has it harder then him.
When he reaches his house he realizes his parents aren't home. Odd, maybe they went out to pick something up. He checks his phone and sees a text from his dad. It reads “Had to go somewhere for a couple hours, dinner should be in the fridge. Love you” Great, another night home alone with just him and his thoughts. He enters the house not in the mood for dinner and immediately goes to his room. He places his bag down, planning to do something with it later.
Without realizing it he's just starting at the floor. How can he let something so stupid and little get to him like this? After a bit he grabs his phone to text his friend. ‘HEYYYY(≧▽≦) I know this is VERYY random but can we talk(･ัω･ั)???’ Now he just has to wait. Something happened a little recently, his friend got his account back and was actually active. They were active before yes, but never this active. After a bit of just laying on his bed he got a reply.
‘Of course. Is everything alright though?’ Aira just stares for a moment before typing. ‘Not reallyyyy(╥﹏╥)... But I think if I talk I'll feel betterrrrr( ╹▽╹ )!!’ After a bit of talking Aira starts to feel better. His friend had always been so caring and understanding. But it's pretty late now so he decides to stop talking and get some sleep. Tomorrow school starts.
