He was Shimizu. His face is bright just like the sun. He gives me strength to stand by the support of his hand.
I hold his hand—gently.
Their fingers touched… and the wind moved around them like even nature wanted them closer.. Our hair is a mess because of the cold wind.
We laughed at each other.
"I am here, you don't need to feel afraid," Shimizu whispered — and just that one sentence was enough to make Minato's whole world feel safe..
His heart is beating as fast as it is going to explode .My face was red — completely red. I am blushing.
By this tiny confrontation. I realised something but what…
I don't understand. My eyes opened, I sat. I was thinking about the dream.
It was so real, that dream. But why did Shimizu come into my dream and comfort me? Why was my heart beating fast?
Minato's heart doesn't stop beating; It beats as fast as in dream.
But—his headache makes it unbreakable, so he decides to go to the hospital tomorrow.
When he took his medicine; After taking his condition became worse.
He stands up and sees his face in the mirror.
From the mouth, blood is dripping. He washed his face—roughly.
He was a little afraid. What happened to me now because of this incident?
It is a symptom or what, I don't know.
He took a shower. He wears his pajamas. He was tired from today 's incident.
Some were bad like in the morning, breakfast and kisses.
Some were nice, like in a cafe, misunderstanding. And—
That's when I almost kissed Shimizu.
He rolled around his bed—cheerfully. His face was blushing, he covered his face by hand.
Their fingers touched… and the wind moved around them like even nature wanted them closer..
Shift~~
Move to our main… A man who hurt Minato.
Lion came out from the office.
His work was complete today—early.
"Today's weather is good. I want to walk home." Lion mumbled.
–(He had a car also, but he forgot about that.)
His car was left in the office.
"Hmm… I think the doctor also recommended walking because walking is good for our health."
His home distance is only two kilometres away.
That is not so far for him, he thought…
But… all his big talks are heavy for him. On the way, his leg was shaking.
For years he didn't walk that far, when he got a car, he always drove from five years ago.
He encouraged himself, "I don't give in a little, My toka(mistress) is waiting for me."
"I got to leave early and also today's work is not so hard either." He mumbled.
In the Lion mind Toka's name echoeing—dramatically.
"TOKA… Toka…"
"What is he doing in our home?" He mumbled again.
He rubbed his chick and remembered, "That kiss is affecting today huh… my mood is good."
His face was a little red by thinking that.
He was going toward his home. He sees two routes.
One was long and one was short.
Because of his nice mood, he took long routes by mistake.
He thought that was a short route. The long route is two more kilometres long but short would take only one kilometre.
But in the long route. Something… He took the long route by accident… Maybe fate wanted him to see what he feared the most.
In the thought of Toka, he remembers Minato's blank face, staring and in the morning.
"He is overreacting to gain my attention."
He clenched his fist in anger. His expression became a little scary.
How dare he ignore me in the morning. I talk to him as nicely as I can. But he ignored me and did not turn his face, instead he went toward his room.
SO SUFFOGATING...
"How rudely, he talks to my Toka also, I need to give him a lesson." He mumbled.
While he was walking, he saw a sweet shop.
He thinks : Toka likes sweets too and Minato also, which he likes. Hmm… Vanilla pastry I think Minato likes.
And Toka likes chocolate pastry. Hmm… if I bought and gave Minato a present it would be good.
I think he stopped his acting.
He entered the shop and brought it.
He was a little happy to see Minato's reaction. In the past he got really happy about it.
Two years ago~~
I gave him a present. Hmm… A shirt, I think.
He was so happy and hugged me with all his heart.That time was so freaking good;
Minato by my side, because he was only mine.
From returning to the shop.
He was travelling to so many old places, he travelled with Minato.
Lion walked happily, holding pastries — not knowing destiny was waiting to destroy him on the next corner.
On the way… he saw a familiar name.
"Shimito cafe". Hmm… "Mito".
Why is it so similar to my husband's name? He thinks.
He got nearer. The light was bright. He can't handle it.
He covers his eyes. He opened it with some suffering. He saw…
People were gathered in the same area.
When people side, he sees two figures in the crowd.
He startled and two steps behind, his eyes widened.
"How… H—How, he was with…" Lion shouted in disbelief.
Minato was laughing with our Shimizu looking at each other because of the misunderstanding.
Lion got the wrong idea, "How dare he… replace me?" Lion muttered — but even he knew the real truth: he lost Minato long ago.
Lion clenched his teeth.
His all nice mood ruined into One second.
He stared at them—consistently.
His heart was shattered into pieces, he was sad but he was not able to show. To see them "together".
–(But he deserves it. How he hurt our Minato—more cruelty. I want to make him regret—loose…)
Lion is staring with red eyes not because of anger but tears.
His eyes are teary like he cries at any second.
He grabbed his chest, his heart was in pain.
His pastry box fell into the ground. He was frozen to see "Minato with another man"
The pastry box slipped from his shaking hands — but the real thing that fell that day was his heart.
He took two steps forward again. Lion put his hand on the window.
Lion's tears fell before he even noticed — because the person he hurt was now smiling for someone else..
Minato was smiling in front of him, full of his hearts.
He never sees his adorable smile in front of him.
He kept an eye on him. He doesn't stop staring at me.
Minato smiled — but not at Lion.
And that pain was sharper than any punishment Lion ever gave.
Surrounding a Lion. People were passing and stared at him with strange eyes.
People stared at him like he was crazy — but Lion didn't hear a single voice.
The only thing echoing in his head was Minato's laughter.
But he was in his own world with Minato's thoughts.
"That day… something inside the Lion shattered.
And from that moment — his love turned dangerous."
–(But that was the beginning. The man who once broke Minato's heart… finally felt what heartbreak was.)
"Lion didn't know it yet… but this moment changed everything."
