Last Summer | Leosaya♥︎

Daises.

It was sweaty.Well,he.He was sweaty.His tan sticky skin was neither dry,or wet.Just damp.And hot.His hair was greasy,and he didn't even realize he was in last night's clothes.

Until,that is,he woke up.To the scent of his mother's daises that lined up against their porch.The freshly cut grass,and rich soil.That scent.It was so different from his room,which was never cleaned,besides his dresser that had his trophies perfectly lined up from past achievements.

Kuwata was exhausted,at the wrong time.It was June 30th,the day he was finally going to 'Camp Hope' as a staff member,instead of a camper.He would go there as a child,which drew him closer to his current friends.He swung his leg over his bed,putting a towel over his arm."Kuwata!You've overslept!"his mother would pout,just not this time.

He would always hum in the shower,or if not that,make a sound that sounded pleasant with the sound of dripping water.It was like his alone time to himself.Which he almost never got.Kuwata leaned his head against the shower wall,pushing back his red,spiky hair.His piercings were cold against the water.He never removed them.

"Leon is taking a shower!"he heard his gentle mother say.So fragile.Delicate.Polite.

He didn't think it was none other than Owada,one of his friends that lived closer.And if Owada was there,Ishimaru was definitely there,too.

"Oh Mrs.Kuwata,the house is so nice."Ishimaru laughed."So clean."

Owada sucked his teeth at his compliment."You should see his room.You can tell she doesn't go in there."

"Oh I do."she responded,a tad embarrassed."But I let him do his thing.I think it's best to leave him alone sometimes.Would you boys like anything to drink?It sure is hot outside."she asked,swiping the sweat on her forehead.

They shook their heads quickly."We'll get something on the way to the camp."Owada replied for the both of them.

She lifted her chin,examining the two boys."You've grown so well.So,so well."she sniffled."I remember you couldn't stand Leon."she smiled."Such a silly,stubborn boy."

The boys had to pretend they cared,but can't exaggerate it too much.They couldn't think of anything,so they decided to casually nod,and go,'mhm'.

Kuwata stepped slowly out of his room,lifting his eyebrow."Mom,please.No one wants to hear about that."he groaned.

"Alright,alright.Come home safe,alright?"she kissed his forehead,as if he were 5 again.

"Mom..."he pushed away."We'll be back before you know it."He put his duffle bag over his shoulder."Alright fellas.It's time to have one hell of a road trip."he gave his friends a high five.

Their shoes clicked hard against the wooden steps,heading towards the blue car that belonged to Ishimaru."My mom gave it to me.She's still in good hands."he knocked against it's windows."Owada,I'm trusting that you won't put your middle finger up at slow drivers.It's not nice."

"Oh shut up."he rolled his eyes."Hey,Kuwata?Wanna ride in the passenger seat?"he asked the red head.

He shook his head."Nope.I have the most comfortable spot."he patted the seat next to him."I'll be sleeping like a baby back here."

Ishimaru took the passenger side,pulling out a map in front of him."I don't understand this one bit."he gritted his teeth.

"I brought a GPS,god dammit."Owada snapped back."And I don't even know why I'm going.I hate little kids.They're pest."

Kuwata shrugged at his slight true statement."Well,I mean,not exactly.But I can see where you come from."he said,as Owada took off from kuwata's house."Better than people older than me."he admitted freely.

"I like old people.Some times I go to my grandmother's house,and bake with her."Ishimaru explained."She's so lonely."

"Wow,Maru-kun.You sure know how to make things sound sad."Owada drove down the street."Doesn't that cute girl live around here?Fujisaki?"he asked,passing multiple homes.

It took Kuwata a while to process who he was talking about."Chihiro?Oh ya.Pretty sure she's going as a staff member,too."he chuckled."She wears cute things,like little shorts,or skirts."

"We should give her a lift."Owada smirked.

"Are you kidding me?No,I don't wanna seem like some perv.Besides,Kuwata isn't giving up his space for some girl he doesn't even know."Ishimaru glared.

"Well...."the baseball player started."I mean.."

"Are you serious?Who's next,Asahina?"Ishimaru joked.

"I wouldn't mind her coming.She has pretty nice rack,if you know what I mean."Owada laughed,slipping Kuwata a fist bump.

Ishimaru sighed."You two are hopeless.Anyway,Asahina's with Sakura."

"Kirigiri?"
"With Makoto"
"Celes?"

"There's a 95% chance she's with Togami,since they're both hella wealthy.And an 100% chance Fukawa is with them."Ishimaru shrugged."They both scare me anyway."

"Junko and her sister are already there."he continued."They are,after all taking over since Kirigiri's father died."he explained,biting his lip.

"Oh right.So they're in charge?"Owada asked."Aren't they a bit too young?"

"Well,ya,but my question is,how is Kirigiri so okay with it?She doesn't even know what happened to him."Kuwata frowned.

"She's a twisted girl.That's not a bad thing.She's just different."Ishimaru added."And sometimes we are scared of different."
