As I put up the groceries s/n plays with his blocks and rocket. My mind still wonders to Takeru.

Hajime might not tell but Takeru tells his uncle everything...

-that night-

After I put s/n to bed I go through my apps again. I click on the Facebook app. I click my request and stare at Tooru's name. I move my thumb and click decline. I sigh and continue looking through face book until—

"What the— didn't I just decline you."

I stare at Toorus name that seemed to magically appear on my request again.

I once again decline the request then I exit the app.

"Stupid Facebook.."

I decide to clean up s/n's toys from the living room floor.

As I do so my phone beeps. I take it from my back pocket to see a text from Hajime.

"Hey, how are you? By the way I don't think Takeru suspected anything because he would have said something. I admit this load is heavy."

I frown hearing Hajime is having trouble carrying my secret. I am pleased to know that Takeru hasn't suspected anything though. I texted Hajime when we got home from the super market.

pretty good. I feel the guilt of putting my secret on your shoulders. Im sorry Hajime.

I send the message then a few moments later he replies.

"I asked remember. I'll be ok and so will you."

Hajime and I talked from then on until I went to bed.
