Chapter Text
''Gosh, I hope he's not sick, Suo-san!'', Akihiko Nerei thought out loud.
Haruka Sakura hadn't come to school yet and as per usual his vice captains were worried sick.
''Nerei-kun, he's probably fine. He might have a cold or maybe a fever. So don't worry, I'm sure he's okay.'', Hayato Suo said reassuring the trembling boy next to him. Nerei jumped at the word ''probably''. What if he isn't okay!? *gasp* What if he's dead!?
The yellow-haired boy began to spiral. Suo, the master at detecting feelings, put his hand on Nerei's shoulder at an attempt of reassurance.
*knock knock knock!*
Suo knocked 3 times before twisting the doorknob to Sakura's apartment, if you could call it that, and walked in before taking off his shoes.
''Sakura-kun! You home?'', Suo called out, hoping for an answer. The duo walked into the ''bedroom'' to find an empty futon on the floor where Sakura was supposed to be.
''Sakura-kun?'', the boy wondered in further. ''S-Sakura-san?! Where are you!?'', Nerei called out. No answer. The one-eyed boy heard a muffled sniffing noise come from the closet. He wearily stepped in the direction of it, careful not to make a noise.
He slowly opened the cupboard door to find a small boy tucked away in the corner of the closet, curled up with his head in his knees.
That half-black half-white hair, and those mismatched eyes that stared back, both of the boys knew that the young boy kept away in his closet was their dear friend Sakura.
