The next morning, you woke up early.

It was Monday, Chuuya had work but you wanted to make him breakfast before he left. You made a promise after all, which you wanted to keep.

You decided to go for something simple since the cupboards hadn't many things inside, even if you had recently went to the groceries store. You two needed to go for some serious shopping!

Suddenly, a sleepy Chuuya figure came in the kitchen.

Chuuya: Morning.

He said grumpily.

Chuuya: What are you doing awake so early?

He asked and sat at the table.

Y/n: Breakfast.

You simply answered and landed on the table, in frond of him a plate with eggs and bacon and a glass of juice. With your turn, you sat down too with a bowl of cereal. You two started eating in silence when you decided to break it.

Y/n: Remember?
Chuuya: Hm?
Y/n: When after the sleepovers I always made us breakfast before work? I were never eating the night before and I always argued that you shouldn't go to work with an empty stomach.
Chuuya: Hah, yeah...

He nostalgically laughed.

Y/n: We need to go for some serious shopping though. I barely found two eggs to cook!
Chuuya: Yeah, I guess so. But right now I need to leave for work.

He replied and got up.

Chuuya: Thanks for the food, it was good.

He said and left.

<...>

You could say that the atmosphere between you and Chuuya was still kinda awkward.

Of course it would be! All these years damage couldn't just be forgotten in a matter of a few days.

You felt really bad for this. It was your fault after all. You left him without a word. You couldn't handle this guilt.

You two used to be inseparable. You used to have a lot of fun. Hunging out with him was break out of your misery. You two used to go to the arcade and play games, you always win of course, and you for stargazing at nights on the hill and walking in the forest, which always was ending up with him chasing you around, and, when the cherry blossoms occurred, he used to take to the festivals and then, you always went to firework fest that PM was holding, which you watched from near the river.

Reminiscing all these moments made nostalgic and feel more sad and guilty. But it's like you had any other choice. You had to leave. It was the only way your brother would stop suffering. Plus the promise, you couldn't break it now, couldn't you.

But you could at least tell. He would understand. He would never betray you, he is the most loyal person you knew!

Lost in your thoughts, you didn't even understand how the razor cut your skin open. Not until your clothes were soaked in blood.

Just then, you heard keys on the door. He was back!

You immediately ran towards your room to change your blood soaked blouse to a clean hoodie. You didn't want him to see you like this. He already had enough in his plate with your attempt yesterday. You didn't want make more sad than he was.

Chuuya: I'm back.

He announced when entered.

Y/n: W-welcome.

You said running towards him.

Chuuya: You okay?
Y/n: Yes.

You simply replied.

Y/n: I'll go make lunch.

You said and left to the kitchen.

Chuuya: You know, you don't have to cook for me every day. We can order too.

He said, took off his coat and hang to the coat hanger.

Y/n: Why spent so much money when you can save it.

You simply replied.

Chuuya: Well, I said it cause I don't want to get tired and all.

He waved it off and sat on the couch. Then, he noticed spots of red liquid on the floor. He bend over and figured that it was blood.

Chuuya: What the?...

He whispered to himself.

Y/n: I'm bored all day inside anyways, I don't mind cooking.
Chuuya: Eh, yeah, yeah... as you wish.

[...]

Y/n: Food is ready.

Chuuya, without responding, walked to the kitchen and sat at the table.

Y/n: Here.
Chuuya: Thanks.

He dryly replied and started eating.

After a while of eating in silence, you couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere and you decided to question it.

Y/n: Is everything okay?
Chuuya: You'll tell me.
Y/n: Tell you what?
Chuuya: If everything is okay.
Y/n: Well, everything's okay.

Chuuya simply rolled his eyes, got up and left without a word.

That made you wonder what you had done and made him so mad. Your question was soon answered when you saw small blood stamps you forgot to clean.

He saw...
