Lingering Crush (DISCONTINUED)

Crushing Heart {5}

Shinya woke up the next morning, it wasn't a sunny morning, it was quite gloomy. He was still holding the phone in his hands. He sat up, rubbed his eyes, then opened his phone, surprised to see a good morning message from Guren. Suddenly, he remembered what had happened the night before. He texts Guren back; "Good morning,😄" Shinya was trying to forget about the video he saw, he was trying so hard to forget but his mind kept racing, he kept thinking of the things Mahiru did with Guren. 

Shinya started to cry a bit again but wiped the tears away, he breathed in and out slowly to calm down. It's probably not that bad, right? Shinya shook his head, trying to get rid of all the thoughts.

(I forget what day it is so let's say its Friday)

Shinya sluggishly got out of bed and walked to the kitchen, still having bed head. He ate some cereal for breakfast as Shinoa came walking out of her room.

Shinoa was dressed up in her nicest clothes, her hair was nicely done and she was wearing a tad bit of makeup. She walked to Shinya, looking happier than usual. Shinya raised an eyebrow at her. 

"What's got you all cheerful this morning... and... dressing like that- you usually put no makeup on for the day," Shinya asked. 

 Shinoa giggled smiling, "I have a date today!" 

Shinya smiled, "oh nice, with who?"

"Mitsu.." Shinoa admitted shyly.

"I'm happy for you," Shinya said.

Shinoa looked at her older brother, "you aren't going to school with this hair- nope." She said as she started fixing his hair.

"Stoppp," Shinya whined. Shinoa continued to fix his hair. 

"Now go get changed- we can't be late to school again," Shinoa commanded.

Shinya got up and groaned in annoyance as he sluggishly walked off to his bedroom to get changed.

-At School-

Shinya walked to his locker, he didn't feel that good today. People wondered what was wrong with him, he was so cheerful the day before but now he looks depressed.

Guren walked to his locker and noticed Shinya looking oddly depressed, he wanted to say something but decided not to.

Shinya looked at Guren, Guren looked back at Shinya and their eyes met. Shinya's face turned red and he looked away quickly in embarrassment. Shinya shuffled his feet hurrying off to the classroom as Guren watched him walk away.

Guren walked into the classroom and went to sit at his desk, looking at Shinya again.

Shinya could feel Guren staring and he felt nervous, his face was red and he looked like a tomato. Guren didn't stop staring though, he just tilted his head slightly.

"Hey, i-is there something you want..?" Shinya asked Guren nervously. 

"I was just worried about you, you don't seem your usual self today., Guren responded kindly.

He was worried? About Shinya? Shinya turned even brighter red at that. "I-I just didn't get much sleep last night..." Shinya responded, laughing awkwardly to try to calm himself down.

"Oh... Well, I hope you feel better," Guren replied with a smile, a handsome bright smile. 

Shinya's stomach filled with butterflies as he stared at Guren's smile. Sitting there, staring at his smile, Shinya felt as if he had the whole world in his hands.

To Shinya, Guren was like his sun, burning brightly, but he couldn't grab hold of the sun, cause if he did it would burn him.

Shinya was afraid of getting burnt by the sun, but the warmth felt so loving, he didn't want to be away from that same warmth, but at the same time, he didn't want to get too close to it either. If he did then there would be consequences, such as--
