Beige Hearts

four - IV

Light blonde hair waved through the wind as amber eyes stared into the distance "What's the guy you like, like?" she asked. I looked at her from the side before turning my gaze to the dark sky in the horizon. 

"They are a hopeless romantic that want's to get married so bad" I chuckled and my feet lightly hit the wall we sat on "They actually would do anything if it means their crush would notice them. And everybody knows their crush likes them back. Everyone except them" Emma giggled "They sound like an idiot. But of course they are when they don't even like you"

I laughed a bit "Don't they?" a comfortable silence eloped.
"Hey (Y/n), let's go to Paris one day" I looked at her "Why exactly Paris?" she leaned back on her hands "Paris, the city of love. Standing in front of the Eiffel Tower at night while sharing a drink and exchanging the funniest stories, stare up at the city lit up by street lights and listening to music. Doesn't that sound like a good dream?" A genuine smile spread across her face as she laughed. "We also need to go to London and New York and LA and Rome and Spain and everywhere in this world!" 

Her eyes sparkled with excitement. "Yeah let's do that" I agreed, also getting excited. The girl turned to me and put her hand between us while sticking out her pinky "Pinky promise, we'll travel the world together as soon as we graduate" she giggled.

I lifted my hand and dusted it off before wrapping my finger around hers "Pinky promise, don't you dare break it" I said and she laughed "As if I would break it, don't you dare break it" I laughed with her.

"We need to apply for a part time job! So that we can afford traveling in a few years" I nodded energetically "What do you want to do? We need something high paying that we can still do at our age" Emma thought for a second "I don't know" she said. I laughed.

"We should research about it later and then make a list of all the places we want to go to and note where not to go. And we should do research on things we need for traveling and what to start with. And then we'll have a whole plan when we actually start traveling after graduation" We giggled. 

"We need to do that! I'm already so excited" I laughed as we stood up. Emma hooked her arm in mine. "Do you think the boys are done with their little meeting?" She asked. "I think they might be nearly done" I responded.

"Then let's go back"

We were walking down the street towards the yelling and cheering. "Have you ever been on one of these meeting before?" I asked Emma and she nodded "Nearly every single one since Mikey is my brother. It's hilarious sometimes. They never do anything but agree with what Mikey wants. Well except Baji, he just said whatever came to his mind but now he's banned from meetings" 

I laughed. "Can you believe it though? After every single fight I have to patch Mikey up and as thank you he leaves his bloody clothes in my room" Emma ranted "I never got to patch up Draken too, do you have to patch up Mitsuya?" she asked and I nodded "Most of the time yeah, he always says he doesn't want to bother me and can treat himself but he can't" we laughed.

"One time he treated himself and nearly got an infection because he didn't clean the wound at all" I giggled "He's stupid" "Mikey always says that I need to treat his wounds cause no one else is available. I'm pretty sure he's just too lazy to go to a friend" Emma laughed.

"Or maybe it's because his friends are all beat up too" I chuckled "You're probably right" the girl agreed.  "Oh look the boys are done" the sandy blonde pointed at a few motorbikes driving away from the place. "I wonder what they decided to do now" 

"Two weeks from now is the musashi festival, are you going there with anyone?" I asked, trying to sound casual "I don't know yet but I hope Draken will go there with me" she answered. "What about you? Are you going there with someone? Oh, is it your crush?" Emma curiously asked with a sly smile. "I'll probably go alone or with Takashi and his sisters" I dodged the question.

"But that would be the perfect time to invite your crush!" I chuckled nervously "Well I promised Luna and Mana that I'll get them a stuffed animal" I lied "You should've waited with the promises, then you could've invited your crush" she sighed. "That's so like you. Anyway I need to go now. See you!" she waved me as she spotted Draken.

I watched after her with a smile as she talked to the tall boy and got on his bike not much later. I turned around with a slight frown to face Takashi. "Did she talk a lot about Draken?" I nodded. "Come on, let's go home" he lead me to his motorcycle and we drove home.

Takashi

I sighed as I dropped the normally cheery girl off in front of her house. Seeing her frown was dispiriting. One last time she turned around and put a smile on her face as she looked at me with a small wave. I waved back and then her mom opened the door. She pulled her inside and closed the door again without noticing me.

"God damn it" I rested my forehead on the motorbike "I can take all the love advice I give her for myself" I sighed again, looking down at my feet on either sides of the vehicle. For a while I just sat there like this, probably weirding out most people that saw me. 

After a while, I sat up straight and rubbed my forehead, hoping the vehicle didn't leave a too red spot there, before I started the engine and drove home myself.
