Finally. After all those months, Ryuko and Seiichiro finally confronted eachother with their true feelings. Takehisa along with other Kitano’s friends were also watching afar behind the tree. Takehisa knew that this time would eventually come. Who were they fooling? It was painfully obvious that there was something deeper than simple friendship between Seiichiro and Ryuko. Ikuko knew, Ikuno knew, and Takehisa- he definitely knew. But seeing the scene unfolding infront of him- infront of his eyes.. It was still too much.
Why was he feeling this way? He knew Kitano had a special spot just for Ryuko. The way he smiled at her, the way she reflect onto his eyes. Kitano’s emotions were hard to tell most of the time, but strangely enough Takehisha could tell the instant difference when Kitano was with her. Everytime he saw Kitano’s eyes lit up when seeing her, small side of him wished he was Ryuko. Thats ridiculous, he find that chick annoying. She was noisy, unreasonable and irresistible, so why.. Why does he wish he was her?
He could hear the others talking about.. Something. Well those werent something to bother about. They were foolish for talking so loudly when Kitano and that chick were not so far away. They could possibly hear their voices! However that wasn’t the main reason Takehisa was barely talking. It was painful to look at them, yet he had to look. He isnt usually interested in others romance, but this one hit different. It almost felt like it was necessary for him to look at. To observe. If Kitano was seriously into that girl- which was pretty obvious.
He saw them leaned closer, Seiichiro’s hand reached out towards Ryuko, resting both of his hand on each side of her shoulder. He lowered his head to match her height, his eyes meeting hers. Their face were so close on eachother that close that they could feel eachothers breath.
Takehisa’s jaw clenched, his eyes sharpened slightly. He clenched both of his fist, similar like when he was about to fight or punch someone. But he wasn’t in a fight right now, he was watching his bestfriend succeeding in his own romance life. He shouldnt feel mad, he should feel..happy, excited, proud or any positive emotions for him. But he felt the complete opposite.
Seiichiro was still hesitant, or even shy. Ryuko grasped his face, her thumb brushing against his pale cheeks. Their lips finally met, eyes closed. Seiichiro’s shoulder tensed before finally relaxing. It was only their lips touching, yet Seiichiro was a blushing mess. A faint blush also appeared on her cheeks. She pulled away from his embrace and looked away.
That kiss was the final straw. He felt that familiar throb against his chest. That feeling.. When he was out in fight back in middle school. When he was getting punched the opponent. But this felt different. It hurt, but it was way painful than getting punched by someone.
“You good?”
Takehisa turned around to see Ikuno was staring at him. He bite his lower lips unnoticeably, clenched the tree infront of him.
“Yea I’m good, mind your own business” He hissed. He turned back to them, where now their tension had gotten awkward.
He suddenly felt like something inside him come out by force. His stomach ache and he suddenly had a headache. He couldn’t stand looking at them anymore. He stumbled back, the grass slightly blurred. As he walked away, he could hear a faint voice behind him- but he didn’t want to acknowledg it. He clenched his fist, his knuckles went white.
The more he thought about them, the more his heart pounded in him. Why was he feeling this way? He had no clues- or rather, he refused to acknowledge them. If he did, he knew he would break completely. His fist suddenyly flung and crashed against the wall, blood dripping from his knuckles. It must hurt, but the ache in his heart made the pain bareable.
He gritted his teeth as his muscles relaxed and his body slumped against the bricked wall. Someone could see him any time soon. His heart ache once more as he thought of Kitano. His face, his eyes, his lips.. Those pale lips pressed against that chick’s..
It drove Takehisa crazy.
