"People with the brightest smile, hides the darkest secret.."

Natsu ran to his apartment and shut his door behind him, he kept breathing and breathing, "Why?" he asked himself with a trembling voice.

*NEXT DAY*

It was time for Natsu to start another day at the mansion, and didnt remember what happened yesterday, and was thinking those blue eyes and Hinode was just a silly dream of his, he kept saying to himself that those arent true and it was just the past luring him again, he packed all the things he need again and headed to the mansion as usual.

After the freestyle picture taking, he, once again sat down on that copper chair and glass table, fixing the photos he took, a minute later Natsu heard a piano, like the one he heard yesterday, but it was playing a different song, at first it creeped him out, but suddenly got into the mood, he kept wondering who is the person playing this piano so smoothly.

He ignored this question and continued to work, the piano didnt stopped in the middle this time, the ending note was heard, and the silence took over. But this time, a sudden thud was heard, its sounds like there's chaos on the room, its like someone is messing the place or having tantrums perhaps. It was so odd and hard to not bother since its so loud and scary, but the chaos suddenly dissapeard, Natsu stayed silent and waiting for the sound to go back, he waited for a minute, when it never came back, he slowly started his work again.

*FEW DAYS LATER..*

Natsu looked at the time, it was 2:35 in the noon, the rich lady told her to have a break after his straightforward work since Sunday to Thursday, this Friday afternoon was rainy, outside, rain and thunder were heard, but its still melancholy as ever, the wind was strong and sweeping in all direction, Natsu decided to stare at the window and watch the rain fall from outside.

*FEW HOURS LATER*

Natsu's phone rang, he took it from his hoodie pocket and silently answered from the other line..

"h_hello?? Can you hear me?"

An old man voice was heard.

"Ohayo..what's the news..?" Asked Natsu,

"Mrs. Kaneshiro asked if you----___yes mam?again?___I-I'll call an ambulace right away,, Im sorry for the convenience, the young master attempted to do sui----I really gotta go--"

the other line was putted down,

and Natsu was silent, attemting to do what? The lightning strikes outside, but it dosent change the fact about what the old man said. Natsu can't stand that this day was supposed to be quiet and relaxing, nothing to worry about, but since..that news came.. it gave another stike to Natsu, the pain that was hidden years ago, its coming back again, but why?

*FLASHBACK*

"Once Im gone...I promised you that everything will be alright.." a person's voice said, "why do you say those stuff like your going to die soon?" Natsu said with a chuckle, thinking that he was just joking around. The rain was strong and Natsu and that person were cuddled together, while the other person was hugging him, and got tighter, that made Natsu worried, "right..." Said the person. "I was just...joking.." he said with a hurt chuckle. Natsu slowly closed his eyes, and heard the person's voice once again,

"Im sorry for everything, Im sorry if I have to go..Im sorry if...if...."

Natsu woke up after an hour and the feeling of the person's embrace was gone, Natsu thought that he came home, so as usual, he started his day as like any other.

After work, he messaged him

'Just got after work'.

But an hour has passed, no replies, the account was removed, he can't contact the person anymore, Natsu didnt mind, and thought maybe his phone was broken or something. It was just a small problem he guess.

A few days has passed, no news about him, not even a single message to Natsu was recieved, it was bothering, since that person always messages and visits him everyday, it was an unwilling coincedence for that to happen,

So Natsu suddenly decided to visit his apartment.

When he arrived at the 143 room, he knocked and called the person, but there was no answer, he called and knocked once more, but its still quiet, and no answer, he then tried to budge the door, but to his suprise it was unlocked, he opened the door, and inside was dark, curtains were closed, only you can hear was the clock ticking, cans of beer were located at the place everywhere, Natsu began to have this scary feeling, the feeling he never experienced before, it was still unsure, until... There he was, The person was there lying on the floor all cold, Natsu ran up to him throwing himself unto him and embraced him as if they havent seen each other in a long time, he stayed beside that person, still embracing him, he then started to cry, whispering, "come back to me" all over again, he forces a smile but it hurts so much, "why does it have to be this way?" He silently cry, still embracing that person, because he knew when he called the ambulance, they would take him from his, he just wanna spend the last moment....last moment....
he kept saying "come back" as if the person was still listening to him.

"Why does it have to be this way?"

"Why do I miss you so much?"

"I wanted to scream until this pain fade away"

"If only I can say it outloud"

"I want you to say my name once more.."

"I want you to sing with me till our voice sore..."

"I want to see you smile"

"I want you to embrace me once again.."

"I miss the way you hold my hand"

"comfort me until the storm ends"

If only I can hear you once more...

once more....

"Once more...."
