chapter one Feelings start to bloom
"I'm not going to hurt you"
"But you could. And it would be really easy for you"
"Yeah, I could. Yes it would be easy. It would be the easiest thing in the world. But I won't. I would never"
After these words both of them went quiet and stared at each other.
The ashen male observed the man, he wasn't worried he knew that he had no intention to hurt him but he wondered why he came here to talk.
"Why did you come here if you won't fight me or hurt me?"
Questioned Yu resting a hand on his hip
"I came cause I wanted to see you, see if you're still the same person when you aren't surrounded by your friends the same lovable person who cares, who worries and who want to fix everything"
Responded the man gazing down
He was clearly gazing down but he wasn't lying. He was sincere...He searched for something, something or someone who can fix him and help him.
"Tell me do you feel the same sensation I feel?"
Asked the ashen male trying to make eye contact with him
"You're clearly imagining it, I don't feel anything"
Responded the man giggling
"You're lying, I know you do"
Yu went near him. He could clearly see that he was lying to himself, he went a few centimetres near his face.
"You don't miss anything eh?"
Replied Adachi trying to avoid eye contact with the male
The ashen male didn't answer and he didn't move. He hadn't distanced himself from the man, he could clearly feel his scent and his breath on him, not his gaze unfortunately.
He wasn't looking at him maybe he won't or he's shy, he placed a hand on his cheek and finally the man looked at him.
"Do you really think you can change me with your lovely attitude?"
Questioned the man
"You're different from the other people I've been around and I've loved. I like you, but I don't think you feel the same for me am I right?"
Remarked Yu caressing his cheek with his hand
"Are you saying that you like me, seriously? You're only saying it cause you're like this, I don't believe you"
Replied the man trying to go away from him.
He was trying to go away, why? Why doesn't he want to accept his help and his feelings?
"Please don't go away, let me understand"
Responded the ashen male with a brittle voice and he grabbed his hand causing the man to turn around and stare at him.
"What do you want from me? What do you want to understand?"
Questioned the man
Yu felt an urge to do something. In a moment he pressed his lips against the man's lips...
when the male's lips touched him sparks flew in every direction, and it was like the world was slowly disappearing around them, along with all of their worries, their troubles and their problems.
One wanted that the kiss would never finish, the other one was shocked but he felt so good he never felt like that and almost no one kissed him. In the kiss he could feel his lovely attitude and his positive aura.
"That's what you need to understand, don't hide your feelings, and I know that you would say the reverse thing right now"
Replied the ashen male with a quiet voice looking into his gray eyes.
He never stopped to stare at them this made the man blinks a few times then broke the eye contact
Adachi didn't have anymore words to say he should go away and never think about it anymore. He turned around and he was ready to go away from here then suddenly he heard his name from the ashen male and this made him freeze.
" I have to understand this? Tell me how you can be attracted to me . There are a lot of other boys and men in this village, why me? what I have is so special?"
Asked the man clearing his throat
Yu's cheeks flushed, his gaze wasn't locked on him and he noticed that the man was looking away but when asked this question he looked at him.
"You are more than what you think, maybe you have something special, I'm just attracted by you"
Replied the male rushing a hand through his hair
The man went away and the ashen male stayed here until he disappeared completely.
'Don't worry we'll meet soon'
The ashen male was at home, when he entered into the house Nanako was there waiting for him.
"Big bro where you were? It's dinner time"
Exclaimed the girl with a silvery voice
Yu was listening to her but his mind wasn't there. He was thinking about him. He hopes he'll realize what he feels for him and he'll not refuse to it.
But after a few minutes he focused on her
"I went out with some friends, dinner time yes I remember it now I'm going prepare you a delicious dinner"
Replied the ashen male with a silvery voice
When they sat down for eating Nanako noticed that Yu was distracted by something he has thoughts going on his mind.
"Big bro is everything alright? You seems pretty distracted"
Questioned the girl
"Yes everything is fine, don't worry it's nothing bad"
Responded the male blushing, he tried to don't show it even if it's pretty visible
"Uh, are you in love again? I remember that I saw you like this when you was In love with someone else"
Remarked the girl
She isn't stupid and almost all the time she saw him in every type of situation good or bad, he usually talked with her cause why not? with bad things maybe he didn't tell them fully, she's so young to know certain things.
Yu glanced at her, she was pretty curious to know his answer and probably she'll ask other things too so he'll not lie to her.
"You've guessed right, I'm in love again. But with a completely different person, this person seems pretty different from the other ones I loved and that's what attract me but I'm not sure if he also feels like this"
Replied the male
The girl was confused. Maybe this was a mature subject to talk about.
"How does it feel to be in love? Is it good like all the people say? I've heard some people saying it's bad is it true big bro?"
Questioned the girl
The ashen male noticed the confused look on the girl's face.
"Love can be good or bad it depend by the experience you had with it, but being in love is something magical"
Remarked the ashen male noticing that the girl was still confused about it
"So you fall in love with a person only looking at him/her?"
Demanded Nanako
"No it isn't so easy"
Responded the male giggling
"Well it's time to go to bed"
Remarked Yu accompanying the girl to her room
"Good night big bro"
The male went to his room and he couldn't stop thinking about him. This man...he can exactly remember his reaction, he didn't believe that he's something so rare, something so special.
The next day~
The morning sun had kissed him awake. Slivers of light peeped through the drawn blinds, casting thin golden stripes across his face. He opened his eyes and slowly, drowsily and lopped sidedly he smiled. He sauntered to the kitchen made coffee and breakfast for himself and Nanako, a few minutes later he could see the girl waiting for breakfast but not impatiently.
"Good morning big bro, are you still in love?"
Questioned the girl glancing at him
"Love doesn't vanish in one day, yes I am but I think you haven't asked this for knowing it do you want to know something else right?"
Responded Yu giggling
The girl nodded then she focused on her breakfast but she could notice that the male had a lot of thoughts on his mind but she didn't ask anything.
After finishing breakfast the male went to his room while he was dressing his thoughts were still going on in his mind.
'He seemed so confused but at the same time he seems scared to be loved or scared to love? Maybe both I need to know more about him, I'll ask him about this'
Contemplated the male while opening the wardrobe
Yu decided to wear an obsidian black coat
A white shirt, a green blue-ish v neck shirt dark blue dress pants and black shoes, in the end he added a final touch to his attire he has chosen a delicate lavender cologne.
~Clouds move in the morning sky, kissed into brilliant white by the sun. They move south together yet independently. Gaps widen and close, one slides right under another and always they are changing shape.
The ashen male sauntered to the road that leads to the school while doing it he noticed a florist shop that made him remembered his idea so he decided to stop by it.
"Oh welcome do you need something young boy?"
The florist was a middle-aged woman she was ready to give you advice for every type of flower they said she's the better florist in all the city
"Yes I need some flowers, a few red tulips"
Replied the male glancing over the woman shoulder looking at all these beautiful flowers
"Oh young boy, you know what's the meaning of this flower right? You have to declare your love to someone, a young and handsome boy like you surely has a lot admirers from girls and boys too"
Remarked the woman giggling
He didn't have any intention to talk about him but maybe he could tell a few things.
"Young boy can I know who's the secret admirer? They are a girl or boy? And how old they are, how they are?"
The middle-aged woman was very nosy but Yu won't to act rude so he decided to answer to all these questions
"I know the meaning of this flower that's why I've chosen it, and it's the reverse he's not an admirer I'm the one."
Responded Yu gazing away from the woman
The woman placed a hand on the male's shoulder
"Young boy you I hope for you it'll go well, but let's return to the other questions he's a boy?"
The woman really wanted to know who he was, the ashen male didn't have intention to tell her anything else.
"He's a man, a rare and special person"
Replied the male smiling
The woman saluted him and he went away continuing to stutter to the road that this time doesn't lead to the school.
Each person in the crowd moved as if unseeing hands drag them this way and that, pulling their eyes to one thing and then another. They respond in predictable ways, each of them with a goal to achieve for the day.
In the distance Yu could see his friends but now it wasn't the time for it, it wasn't the time to talk about him not with all of them so he tried to avoid them changing the road of his destination and at the same time he hopes to not been seen but he could heard them talking they weren't so much distant.
"Yu's not with us this morning I wonder why, maybe something's happened but surely he'll come to school"
Remarked Yosuke
"Don't you think we should check if he's ok? You can call him, maybe there's something going on."
Exclaimed Chie while picking out her phone to call him
"Are you sure of doing this? Maybe he got some important stuff to do, we'll see him at school"
Responded the cheerful boy
"Well if you say so, but remember if something happens it's your fault for not checking on him"
Replied the girl
"You don't need to worry, I know if there's something he'll probably tell us"
Responded Yukiko while she was calming down her gf
The 3 of them continued to the road to school and finally Yu can proceed to his destination.
~Finally he arrived there, his cheeks flushed at the thought of the man's reaction but probably he'll not see him. The ashen male entered the police station, he started to observe everything there's in it and also tried to notice if he was there.
"Is there something you need?"
The voice came from a woman who was constantly observing him.
You can't be sure of everything you see so she checked on him.
But he didn't answered, he was immersed in his own thoughts
"Ah I remember you're the transferred student so you must be Yu Narukami, I wonder why a boy like you is here, do you search someone?"
Yu adjusted his glasses and showed up the flowers.
"Oh these are for me thank you"
The woman was pretty convinced of it, she was smiling a lot but suddenly another voice could be heard.
"You don't get it these flowers aren't for you, probably the boy has someone else in mind, so Yu what are you doing here you aren't involved in suspicious things right? And what you've got there?"
Replied the man, and he noticed Yu was holding something.
'Flowers here what he has in mind, seriously? Better that I ask him for who they are'
The ashen male noticed a confused look on Dojima's face, should he tell him about it?
The male's cheeks were suddenly kissed pink like a spring rose, he tried to hide it with his usual composure but the man could notice it.
"For who these flowers are? Probably someone you really like cause you're blushing a lot but you're trying to hide it, well can I know who?"
Questioned the man
"I'll leave them here this person will know that they are for him"
Replied the male gazing at the flowers not at the man's face
"So you decide to leave everyone in the mystery, well the only thing is that you aren't involved in suspicious things"
Dojima took the flowers and putted them on a small table he'll check them later
"I promise I'm not involved in anything, well now I have to go to school"
Responded the male while saluting the man
A few minutes later after being sure that the male went away the man checked the bouquet of flowers. There was a little card, and there was something written on both sides. "Red tulip-choose this flower for making a declaration of love"
'Declaration of love uh? The boy has fallen in love I wonder with who'
He continued to check the card
"As the flower said I'm making a declaration of love, take all the time you need to realize it but remember what happened between us a few days ago. I know that at first you'll refuse but I'm hopeful I know that you'll change your mind and maybe in these days you'll receive other flowers who knows. With Love Yu"
'He's seriously in love well I'm not going to deepen in it since there's nothing suspicious involved, well time to return to work'
