In the fire, A star burns brightly

7. Meeting again

"Tsukasa...." Rui started to say staring at the boy in front of him.

"Rui."

Both just uncomfortably standing in the middle of Ruis room. Tsukasas then suddenly snatched his arm from Ruis hold as if he was planning to do something. He didn't.

"Tsukasa, May you please explain what is going on?" Rui gently placed his hand on Tsukasas cheek, gently rubbing his thumb under Tsukasa eye. Tsukasa staying silent not moving an inch. How could Tsukasa ever explain? Disappearing for 3 months making his family and friends worry and mourn after his death.

"Its selfish. I-I.... "He started to tear up a bit.

'What was I thinking? I spent my whole life trying to not disappoint anyone! I wanted to make people smile. I Wanted people to be happy. Why am I so damn selfish!?' His tears started to run down his cheek while Rui kept wiping them off. Suddenly Rui pulled Tsukasa close and wrapped his hands around the boys body. Tsukasa then sobbed on Ruis shoulder.

"Tsukasa, take deep breathes. Try to calm yourself down first." Rui said gently moving one of his hands to pat Tsukasa on his head. He didn't bother pulling away. This feeling he felt was good. Tsukasa couldn't remember the last time he felt like this. Yet, after all he still can't help but feel anger. Anger he still has yet to express. Maybe if he were to express the anger from the tine past, He would be left all alone again. He hated that feeling but he still pushed his friends and family away by pretending to be dead. He caused trouble for them all.

'Maybe, this feeling of guilt and loneliness would finally go away if I disappear. Yes! Maybe my family can finally be happy when I am gone. They were probably just faking it anyways. If I had just disappeared In the first place during the fire, They probably wouldn't even notice. Maybe even throw a dead brother/son dance party! Ah, I can't wait! But why? I could have disappeared a long time ago. I had 3 months. I should've taken my chance. I shou-'

"Tsukasa!" Startled, Tsukasa looked up to see the person who interrupted his thought process.

"Rui.." He looked back down. He couldn't dare to face Rui. Not after what happened in the Sekai.

"I should go back-" He then reached down to his pocket to grab his phone. It wasn't there.

'Where is my damn phone? Oh, I left it on the piano..'

"Please My star..." Tsukasa looked up with a slight blush

"Don't leave us again." He paused for a second, "Don't leave me again" He murmured in Tsukasas ear while hugging him closer and tighter.

"I-"

"I don't know what I will do if you leave me again Tsukasa! Ever since then, I couldn't think of anything else besides you!" He sobbed into the blondes shoulder

'That seems like a you problem honestly.' Tsukasa thought not bothering to say it out loud

'Honestly, Why the hell was I crying earlier. Such a shame I felt that.' (Tsukasa Being bi-polar 🤯)

"Tsukasa, please answer me!" He loosened his grip on Tsukasas back but brought his hands to Tsukasas upper arms just to tighten his grip again. Tsukasa flinched to the sudden movement

"I don't really have a choice either way."

"I'm really happy you're back Tsukasa, I really am"

"I'm not" He mumbled

RUIRUIRUIIII
