“So confusing ..”
He thought to himself. Minamoto Kou was not good at school like how is big brother Teru was. He wasn’t the top of his class and his grades were average enough to pass classes. He would usually ask his older brother for help in his studies but.. not now! This time kou will do it himself because of his brother finds out his true intentions well.. not so great things would happen.
It had all started when Aoi senpai had offered him to study together. Both of them were at the library that time and Aoi seemed to notice him and decided to start a small talk which lead to them (koi only wanted to return a book) to study together. He was actually glad for that day since he had managed to learn some things and get his homework done for science. That’s where he had asked Aoi a question what brought him to this situation now.
——
“Aoi senpai..”
he said in a lower tone this time slightly fidgeting with his hands. Why was he so nervous? He could barely see straight anymore and he could barely focus on his breathing. To bad, Aoi had already heard him and was now paying attention to him. He needed to stay calm .. and get over this quick.
“Can ghost become a.. human through potion — or anything with he help of science .?
He dosent know how to form the question itself but he hoped Aoi get what he meant.
“I don’t know how to ask this . It’s okay you don’t need to answer this —“
And his words were cut of by the guy who was adjusting his glasses.
“I get what you mean.”
He said and paused a bit before looking around to think of an answer.
“I mean, it’s possible. I don’t see a reason for why it shouldn’t work. But, that doesn’t mean that my words hold the truth to it. It’s just what I think . But hey why are you even asking this?”
Kou felt an excitement in his chest hair it was soon cut of by that question. How was he going to answer this? He needed to think of an excuse.
“I .. was just curious I guess? I mean! There’s a way to be a supernatural than there should be also a way to be a human right? It’s not that important aha!”
He could feel how Aoi was suspicious of him a bit but he felt the relief once the guy also brushed it off and continued to study.
——
And that’s how he landed in this situation. At first he was searching through internet first but he barely could find anything that could help him so he decided to go to the library instead and managed to find some books that caugh his eyes. It was confusing but he wouldn’t give up he had just started—
“Heh, since when do you study?”
His thoughts were cut off from a familiar teasing voice.
“And especially in subjects like science.”
The pink head continued to throw some words at him but he wasn’t mad at that, rather amused. He had gotten used to Mitsubas comments that he didn’t really took them to.
“I’m just researching. It’s not that important! EHY are you even here in the first place.”
“I got bored.”
The pink haired replied casually while looking at Kous stuff.
“Sakura and Natsuhiko have class stuff to do.. and you wouldn’t see me hanging out with Tsukasa alone !”
He added before sitting next to him.
“What are you learning by the way?”
not that Mitsuba was that interested in his school stuff, probably a way to start conversation.
“I’m researching something.”
He said while looking at some pages.
“And that were ?”
Should he say it? He knows that Mitsuba would be against it and even become angry at him due to it. But he was tired of pretending anymore. He couldn’t explain how much this was affecting him and how desperate he was to find a way to bring him back. He maybe sounded to selfish to some but he couldn’t finding himself caring about that. He didn’t care, he didn’t care what his brother and his friends would say to it. He knew how all of them would be against it and make him somehow stop researching about it. If it was Mitsuba he was doing this for, he would gladly fight against anyone who would dare to get to his way.
“Finding a way to get you alive.”
He mumbled quietly but enough for Mitsuba to hear it.
“I— pardon me ? What?“
the pink haired boy was shocked ? Suprised ? He had a mix of emotions that he couldn’t read.
“Have you finally lost it or what?! Are you crazy .!”
“Maybe I am starting to lose my mind.”
He was losing his mind slowly. He had jumped off for Mitsuba and would do that again if Mitsuba asked him to.
“I though you were crazy when you decided to jump of just to die for me .! But this it to far Kou!”
Ah.. not the usual “Lame Safety traffic earring” or any other cocky names.
He got up and took the boys hands into his.
“Everything is going to be fine alright? I.. I don’t go to far I think. Please why can’t you see how much you mean to me .! Why can’t you understand how much I want to live with you!”
There was a brief silence.
“I.. will find a way to bring you back again, after that I.. I will kill myself so that we will become human Togheter. Do you get me ? I will continue my research until I find a way even if it means till my death!”
“Kou—“
But his words ended up getting cut off by him.
“Let us.. live together alright.?”
And with that Minamoto Kou managed to make one more person speechless.
