Chapter 2

I'm standing in front of the school and it is so big! I had never seen something so beautiful before, the school was Japanese styled, but it's surrounded by nature and everything looked so... alive. And this uniform! It is so comfortable and pretty. I've been wearing kimonos my whole life, finally! Pants and a normal shirt. They made the sleeves exactly how I wanted, I will be able to use my technique properly.

Me and Satoru were walking towards the entrance of the dorm building, and as far as I know, we can choose whichever room we want. As we finally entered the building, I saw that everything was very traditional, and even the dorm room doors were the ones that slid. I saw that Satoru took a turn into a room, without telling me anything, so I decided to walk a little further down the corridor and saw a room that wasn't occupied, so I walked in and looked around.

There was a queen bed in the corner of the room, and there was a corner window above it. There was a simple closet and a desk with a chair. Thank god that the bed had a comforter and a pillow because I didn't have them myself.

This is the best room I've ever had! Of course, not that I've had a lot of rooms before. A smile was present on my face and I flopped down onto the bed. Oh god, the mattress is so comfortable, I just want to melt into it.

I hear as the door slides open, and I see Satoru standing in the doorway. He looks around, and I see his eyebrows furrow. "You don't have anything for your room?"

I sit up and look at him. "No... Was I supposed to have anything?"

"Do you even have clothes?"

"Yeah, I have a few kimonos.." I reply to his question.

"Kimonos...? The ones that I wore when I was younger?" I nod in response. He sighs deeply and pinches his nose bridge.

I sit in my bed, not knowing what to do. "Hikaru."

"Yes..?"

"Let's go shopping."

As soon as I heard those words come out of his mouth my eyes widen and I immediately shake my hands around.

"No, no need to waste money on me. I'm okay with what I have."

"Hikaru, you don't even have proper clothing, you probably don't even have a pencil." I bit my lip, realising that what he said is true.

"Okay." I answered and got up from the bed. I put on my only pair of shoes - combat boots. I make sure my flip phone is in my pocket, not like I even have another persons contact on there.

Satoru turned around and walked through the corridors. To get to the center of Tokyo, we had to walk to the nearest metro station, and then get on a train to our destination. I sat near Satoru, awkwardly, due to not being used to being near him.

We arrived about fifteen minutes later, and the city was so... crowded. Lots of people, but the aura of weak curses was still present. Not paying mind to these conditions, there were lots of billboards and stores. Highschoolers and middle-schoolers were all hanging out here. I couldn't help but envy them.

While I was looking at them, a sad smile present on my face. I felt how Satoru looked at me, and then followed my gaze. He pursed his lips together.

"Let's go." He told me.

After that, we went all around different stores, clothing, accessories, room decor, he even bought me an iPod for music.

I found myself infront of a makeup store, which had an advertisement with a guy wearing eyeliner. I don't know why, but it just screamed like.. something I would do. The guy wore it under his eyes, it was subtle, but still visible. Satoru leaned behind me, and I didn't feel uncomfortable, for the first time.

"Do you think that would look good on me?" I ask, hoping that he doesn't react negatively. He squints his eyes at the poster, and then looks at me.

"No yeah, I could see you rocking it." He replies, while smiling.

I couldn't help but smile at his response. We walked in and purchased it. Then, we both decided that we are done with shopping, and we will leave the rest for next time.

The moment we went into my room, we placed down my stuff and I immediately bowed to him. "Thank you so much, you don't know how much this means to me."

"It's no problem." Satoru then walked out. I stood there, my lips pursed. What does this gesture mean? It's not like he's paid attention to me before. Doesn't he hate me?

I groan, out loud, annoyed with my own thoughts. To keep my mind off things, I decide to unpack everything. 

After only unpacking a few bags, I already had a closet full of clothing. He bought me all types of clothes. Jeans, t-shirts, shoes, jackets, everything. It didn't end there. I had notebooks, pens, pencils, and all types of other stationary. Accessories, posters, even an iPod. 

I only finished an hour later. I decided to put on grey sweatpants, and a band shirt that he got me. I looked at it closely, and saw that it said "Deftones". After I put the shirt on, I grabbed the iPod and searched the band up. I found out that they have a new album. "Saturday Night Wrist". I pressed play on the whole album.

After laying around in bed for a little, waiting for it to get fully dark. I wanted to watch the stars tonight, the stars always seemed to... calm me down. The second the stars started appearing, I decided that it would be really nice to get up on the roof and stargaze there.

I quietly opened my rooms door and snuck out. I walked around the corridors, until I found a door at the end of the hallway, which looked different from the others. It was made out of metal. I walk up to it, hoping that when I open it, a stairway to the roof will be there.

You hang the anchors over my neck.

As I push the door, I see that it indeed was a stairway to the roof. I celebrate in my mind and start walking up the stairs. 

I liked it at first, but the more you laughed.

I reached towards another handle, I pause before actually opening the handle. I take a deep breath and finally push the door open.

The crazier I came.

I took a step on the roof, and I saw a figure sitting on the ledge of it. His back was illuminated by the moonlight. I froze, not knowing what to do, or say. The door then loudly shut behind me, and he turned to me. 

The waves suck you in then you drown.

He... I had never seen such a gorgeous person in my life before. His pale skin, illuminated by the moon. His hair was raven, and shoulder length. He had bangs, that had a middle part. His ears were visible, and they were stretched. His features, sharp. His lips were a rosy pink. His eyes.

If like you~.

His eyes. His eyes were monolided, he had long lashes. The type that looked like a lavender field. Like amethyst clusters. It seemed like the Milky Way was looking at me. I didn't even know, what lied beneath them, and I was already lost in them, deeply.

Should sink down beneath.

He looked.. ethereal.

I'll swim down with.

 His eyes widen and he stands up, looking at me. Slowly getting into a fight stance. 

You~.

"Who are you?" His voice was so smooth, not too deep, but not high pitched either. I felt like I was listening to the most beautiful melody that was ever created.

Is that what you want?

I felt my cheeks getting hot, blush was creeping up on my neck and ears. "I... uh.." I started stuttering while flailing my arms around.

You~.

"I AM SO SORRY!" I yelled, bowed, and then ran faster than I ever had before.

My own footsteps loudly echoes throughout the corridor, and as soon as I reached my room, I crashed into my bed. I hid my face into the pillow and clutched it so hard, that my arms hurt.

What just happened?
