Angel (YuuMika)

Take 8

" How long has it been?" The blonde girl asks, and the lilac haired shakes her head. "Three days." She answers. "He didn't comes out if his room?" Mitsuba gasps. "Never."

  "This has to stop, Shinoa. He's starving himself to death!" Mitsuba says. They are in Yuu's house, arguing in the living room. "I know, Mitsu. But we have to give him some time and space. Mikaela is the closest person to him, o it must be hard knowing that his dear friend is gone." She explains. It's hard for her, too. But she has to at least try to understand.

  "Can't we like, give him time and make sure he eats like he should?" Mitsuba tries, and Shinoa sighs. " Like we haven't tried that already. Think of something smarter, Mitsu." Mitsuba stared at the shorter girl with disbelieve. "Are you calling me dumb?!"

   "Why are you guys screaming in front of my room?" Yuu croaks out, his voice hoarse. "Yuu san!" They say at the same time. "What?" The raven asks, uninterested.

   " Come and join us, Yuu san! We are just about to eat. It's curry, your favorite." Shinoa says, showing a container she has been holding. " Yeah, come and join us!" Mitsuba follows along. She ate already, but if it could help to make the raven eats, she wouldn't mind a second meal.

  "Hmm, okay." Yuu replies. He sits at the dining table, and the two girls share a look. "He seems fine." Mitsuba whispers. "Looks like it. But there is no way that he is fine, it's just three days since Mikaela san's funeral!" Shinoa whisper-yells. " What are you guys doing right there? You are the one inviting me to eat and yet there isn't any food on the table." Yuu says, straight faced. "Coming!" The two girls yell.

   Shinoa serves the food, while Mitsuba does the beverages. Yuu sits at the table, staring blankly at the wall, mind empty. A plate of rice and curry is placed in front of him, and he stares at it.

  "Curry is Mika's favorite too." He says, grabbing the spoon and the two girls body stiffen. "Pardon?" Shinoa asks. "Nothing." He replies, taking a spoonful of rice and shoves it inside his mouth.

  "Aren't you guys going to eat?" He asks, and the two snap out of it. "Yes, of course!" Mitsuba says with faked cheerfulness, hoping that it was not too obvious. Sadly, it is obvious since Mitsuba is never really the cheerful type. She is more of a tsundere, but she won't admit to that. But Yuu doesn't say anything, as he finds it pointless at the time. It could fail his plan, even. And he don't need that.

   After finishing their meal in silence, Shinoa asks them to play minecraft and so they did. Shinoa and Mitsuba is the one who is active, talking and commenting about things while Yuu keeps quiet though he does join in their conversation here and there.

   Yuu finds it ridiculous since they are not into games. A lot of girls aren't, anyway. It isn't a surprise. And the sudden interest of the girls are really suspicious. But he plays along, just to convince them that he is fine, and so that they will finally leaves him alone. And god knows what he will do when he is alone. He beams and playfully says, "Shinoa, there's a creeper behind you!"

   They hung out for hours. It's late in the evening, and the two girls is finally convinced that it's fine if they leave.

  "I had fun today, Yuu san! Thank you for teaching us how to play minecraft! Who would have guessed, building houses by blocks could be fun." Shinoa says and Mitsuba nods, agreeing with the lilac haired girl. Yuuichiro smiles sweetly at them, waving. "Come over anytime, guys! See you later!" He says, and they leave.

Or maybe not.

   As the two girls completely disappear from his vision, his smile falls off and soon get replaced by a frown. "Finally." He mutters, making his way back inside his apartment room.

   They are his friends, he is well aware. But he couldn't help himself but feels mad  when they look unaffected by Mikaela's death, laughing, arguing, and enjoying life. They tried to make him forget about the numbness he feels since Mikaela's death.

   The house is noticably lonely and dull without Mikaela's presence, and he's sure that the girls noticed that too.

   He don't want the pain to leave, it's the last thing that Mikaela has left for him. Remembering the blonde's last word, his heart clenches.

He won't be able to grant Mikaela's wish.

  Shaking the feeling he identify as guilt, he heads toward Mikaela's bedroom, sliding the balcony door open. He has a promise to fulfil. "I'm coming for you, Mika."
