'On that day, we were drunk like never before'

'Walk humming your favorite song from the train onto the platform.'

Eh....

In front of you....

That young boy…? So what are you doing here?

Even though it was actually the last train. But at the far end of the platform, there was a person sitting and curled up.

Suddenly he accidentally glanced and saw that even though the rain was falling down, he didn't care and let the raindrops splash on him until he was wet. It was a picture that was like..

“You little one is wet.”

Aiya .. could accidentally slip out like that.... never mind.

But no, calling me a mouse wouldn't be right...

“It's the last train, so what are you doing here?” he asked, pointing at the large clock stuck on the wall. Ready to see the raindrops flowing down the cheeks Or else, it would probably just be shedding tears and burying his face in his knees as usual.

“.....” The red-brown haired youth opened his mouth as if to say something. “I was dumped by my boyfriend,” he finally said that sentence in a trembling voice.

Boyfriend?

Do you like men?

“So I sat and cried on the train the whole time. When I realized it again, I came here now. The return train was also gone. Plus it's still raining,” the man said, curling up even smaller until he looked like a cat. How?

“Then, should I help you comfort me?” He accidentally spoke without realizing it, causing the listener to have a puzzled look on his face.

“Eh?”

"Ah, I'm sorry, it doesn't have any strange meaning..." He said it like that before saying the last sentence in a soft voice. "But it must be strange..." When he finished, he scratched his cheek to correct his embarrassment.

After the voice was quiet for a while, his red eyes suddenly stared straight at him.

Except for us...

That's just enough to get that look It makes you know that

Love at first sight really does exist.

Sip sip sip〜

The sound of birds chirping and the sunlight shining in my eyes told me that it was already morning, so I got up from the bed and rubbed my eyes to adjust my focus.

“Ah....” When the pupils dilated clearly and adjusted to the sunlight in the room, he realized that the meow had disappeared. “Have you gone back...?”

'You take a shower first or you'll catch a cold,' she said pushing him into the bathroom.

'Uh, but...'

'Come on, you should go take a shower,' he repeated one more time to be confident. In the end, the smaller person agreed to take a private shower, so he came to sit and wait for the other person on the bed.

Ah...... True, last night we fell asleep while waiting to use the bathroom.

After thinking about it, he got up from the soft bed he had been resting on and walked over to look at the little cat's futon that had been neatly folded, feeling a little sorry and blaming himself for falling asleep first. Didn't even ask for his name. Or ask for e-mail to contact the other person, but on the neat mattress where a cat once lay, there is a scrap of paper with a pencil scribbled on with a few words.

'Thank you for the bathroom and mattress.

Tamai'

“Ha ha, even the name sounds like a cat.”

I couldn't help but accidentally smile....

......but after collecting scraps of paper and mattresses We returned to our normal daily lives.

In fact, we thought that after that we probably wouldn't see each other again. But soon he appeared before us again.

Jingle

The sound of the doorbell in front of the mansion was so loud that it was deafening. Those of us who were reading a book had to put it down and walk to welcome the visitors, very reluctantly.

But his eyes widened when he saw the person who rang the bell...

“The reward from last time,” he said, holding up a bag of cakes, “and you still haven't consoled me.”

“Ta tama!”

“Ha ha! What is that?”

"Ah.. His mouth went first.." Scratching his head to correct his embarrassment after accidentally saying his name, but it was still good to see the other person smile.

Afterwards, we took Tama into the room and ate the cake together in silence. There was no sound of conversation between each other except for the sound of the wind and the loud train outside. His sweet face looked out of the window, his hand held a glass that was empty, it turned around lazily, his eyes filled with sadness. The bruises under his eyes said he had cried a lot.

“Can you hear the sound of the train in this room?” After a long silence, Tamai finally spoke to us.

“Oh, because it's nearby. And this mansion is old too.” He took the other person's glass out of his hand and poured the juice into a new one. Give it back and pour some juice into your own glass.

The other party took the glass of water and shook his head slightly. Then he gave me a faint smile.

"No, please keep me calm... By the way, I haven't asked your name yet."

“Ma Motomiya.”

He replied sheepishly while drinking fruit juice to relieve his embarrassment.

“What is your first name?”

“Kenji”

In the end, Tama called my first name.

After that, every once in a while Tama would come to our house. When he came in the evening, all he did was eat together.

“The food made by Kenji is super delicious.”

“Those are boiled vegetables from the supermarket.”

Talk about your ex in a happy manner. We have a duty to listen.

“Atsushi was very kind before, taking me to different places, and this…” Tama held up a bracelet tied into a rope, “That guy bought them to wear as a pair. When we went to Shonan, just the two of us,” he said with a happy expression, as if recalling a past that was too happy to express.

But sometimes on some days I just sit and cry and let the tears flow down.

“I met Atsushi earlier after not seeing him for a long time.” Tama bent his knees and hugged him before resting his head on his knees. “He told me he had a new man. You're someone who's easy to deal with, unlike me.” He then used his sleeve to wipe away the tears that were falling down his red cheeks.

“But he was still kind to me even though he didn't plan on getting back together again. Do you see me as such an easy-going person?”

“But I don't see it like that. Maybe the person named Atsushi.... Maybe you still like Tama.”

Maybe Tama himself....

“I don't know.” The person next to me suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand, playing with it, causing him to feel embarrassed, not being able to watch it. "Just a moment," Tama said as if he knew. So I glanced at the other party until I couldn't take my eyes off.

.....Tama himself may know our feelings.

But in the end, it doesn't matter. I just wish we could be together like this right now. Being able to hold each other's hands and be a shelter for the other person to lean on and beg for, this alone makes us happy enough.

“Kenji”

“Huh?”

“Are you rushing back today? Everyone thought they were going to continue drinking.” After class, my university friends invited me to continue the trip.

"...Sorry, next time." He shook his head in denial before being grabbed by the neck and crushed his head until it was out of shape.

“What? Did your boyfriend come to see you? Hmm? Huh?”

"No, it's just a moody animal, so I don't know when it's coming." When I told him, I got a confused look on my face, which made me almost laugh, not joking. "Anyway, I'll see you later." He waved goodbye to his friend again before hurrying home to meet the moody cat that he probably wouldn't meet today.

Building, building, building

As soon as they reached the mansion, the sound of their feet, which at first seemed frantic and afraid they would not return in time, hurriedly hit the stairs, leading up to the second floor of the mansion under the sunset that was shining on the reddish-brown hair of a moody cat. Standing with his chin on his back, he looked outside the balcony before turning to us with a bright smile.

“Ah, you're back.”

"um"

When he saw the bright expression of the other party, he smiled from his heart and gave the other party back the same.

“Welcome back. Here we go to buy delicious boiled vegetables. Let's go to Super."

“Um.”

Ah..the evening sun dyed my reddish-brown hair red.

After eating with Tama, we both sat and read comic books together. Let's talk about some random things. It seems like another normal day for both of us, but ..

“Kenji”

“Huh? What's the matter..” As we turned to face Tama who was lying on her own bed, Tama suddenly came up and kissed us.

Hot lips and warm breaths touched each other until we could clearly feel it. Definitely not negligent in thinking about it. Is that guy just yearning for the warmth of human skin, or is he trying to test us?

Even though it is a short period of time But I felt it for so long in my heart that we could barely hold back our feelings.

"Tama..." softly called the other person's name as he stared into the other person's eyes before rubbing the other person's head and easily pushing it away.

“Wha wah..”

But whatever it is, it's not what we want.

“The person who will suffer later is Tama himself.”

“Ah... Please..” The white water droplets slowly disappeared. Flowing to the corners of my eyes, "I want..."

"That's it. When you do it, you blame yourself." You sighed like you were used to the other person's actions, but today we felt that it was strange.

“Kenji.... Kenji.... I'm sorry for always begging Kenji. I know what Kenji is thinking. But I always used that feeling of passion as a tool.”

“Hey Tama...”

“I'm a bad person for not daring to say anything to that guy....!But...even so... I still can't forget it.” The white water droplets that initially clung to the corners of her eyes were now streaming down Tama's cheeks.

It's true... we, like Tama, are so afraid that we don't dare ask for answers. Not daring to walk away from the same place, even for a single step.

“I'm sorry.... I won't come here again.” Tears streamed down his trembling voice.

really....?

“So?” I don't know if I was out of consciousness or because of the chaotic feelings and thoughts in my mind or something else that made me grab Tama's wrist and remove the bracelet from her wrist. his

"Tama is too kind..."

“Eh, what are you going to do…” When the other party saw the necklace slipping from his wrist, he immediately shouted, “Kenji, no, that's.... That's Atsushi's thing...”

“Because you wear things like this all the time, you can't forget them, right?” Before the owner of the necklace could finish speaking, he cut him off. “Because you still wear things like this because you still met someone named Atsu. I'm still here and can't cut it off.” Holding the necklace tightly in his hand, he turned to look at the clear stained glass window in the room.

“What do you say...”

Before letting the other person process his thoughts, we opened the glass door and pretended to throw the necklace out of the way.

“!! Kenji, stop!” Tama hurriedly got up from the bed and made to come to us.

.....Before everything went any further, we took a breath to calm ourselves and slowly lowered the hand that was holding the necklace tightly.

"I won't throw it away. It's something important to Taman."

It's as if it's sarcastic, but the people we love are able to see through our own feelings.

“Tama, quitting in the middle like this will only lead to nothing but suffering.” He held the other man's hand and returned the important necklace to its owner. “Because I like it, I just want to stay by your side. That's all...it's just self-imposed...even though I don't have the right to say it.”

“Kenji... To me, Kenji..”

Please don't make such a face. Tears are welling up at the corners of my eyes...

“Um... Because you missed me, you said you wouldn't come, right? Because I'm afraid that still feeling this way will hurt me. Actually, it's okay. I just want Tama to be happy.” He reached out and gently caressed the other man's tear-stained cheek until the tears fell onto his own palm.

“Um… Huh… Um..”

“Finally, please listen to my spoiled request.”

"Eh..?"

“Can I be the one to kiss you?”

"yeah..."

I'm sorry, Tama. You probably can't deny it.

I had always taken advantage of Tama's gentleness.

“If it goes well, it must be good.”

Tama's soft lips are still engraved in our hearts, our fingers caressing the other's lips still remain in our eyes, our light and sweet touch still makes us covet more.

Tama stood up with tears in her eyes. “Kenji is the one who is beyond generous...thank you.”

Bang!

The soft sound of the door closing was a sign of the warmth from our last touch, our last words, and our first kiss.

It ended that night...

“If it goes well, it will be good... It creates a terrible picture.”

Sitting down on the ground, all of his strength vanished immediately after the sound of the door closing. Everything he said was a complete lie. Actually, we want to be the person who makes them happy, want to hug them, want to receive their warmth. Want to eat together, want to make you smile all with our own hands.

But if... that guy comes back to us...

After about a month or so, during this period the rain continued to fall as often as before and we could hardly see the sun setting for a day. On days like this, what we think of It's not a cloudless sky. But it is a lonely red color that glows faintly in the midst of darkness.

Building, building, building

We walked off the train like every other day, but today our eyes caught sight of familiar red hair.

The first glimpse I saw... We walked towards it with our hearts pounding like we were seeing it in a dream. When you use your eyes to carefully consider every part, you will then know that what the person sees in front of you Not dreaming and dreaming.

“What are you doing here?”

Hold your breath and ask.

“I've had my heart broken!” The other person smiled as usual, but this time it was a smile that made us smile as well.

.....One thing that we can understand when we see these eyes is

The color of that sky..... indicates that once it ends, it will begin again.

THE END
