Unleashed Natura: Wings, Paws, & Scales.

Chapter 16: Pain

Meanwhile... In Fc Barcha's screening room, the chatters were getting too loud for Tsuruji's liking. The team watches as Bastard Munchen's Chouka starts getting led out of the field.

"It seems like Bastard Munchen is facing a sudden obstacle as their butterfly is too weak to fly on the field any longer! Master Striker Noa subs in Yukimiya Kenyu in place of Chouka Frey."

'Too weak? That arrogant cunt head?' Tsuruji rolled his eyes but deep down there was concern and curiosity.

All he could do is sigh and walk out. He had slightly regretted joining fc barcha due to their loud and enthusiastic personalities. On the contrary, he could still play music for the team when they wanted to dance as part of their training.

He didn't know where to go, maybe find Anri? But she was probably busy with supervising  the ongoing match. Chouka? But Chouka was...right in front of him. The pink-haired male who was drenched in sweat stood in front of him with an unwavering gaze.

'Ah... The world is so small.' Tsuruji thought before he opened his mouth to speak. "What happened." It didn't quite sound like a question. It was more like he was demanding answers already.

"Uh, hi Tsuruji..." Chouka looks away. "Uh... I need to go, sorry." Chouka tries to avoid him but fails miserably.

"You don't have anywhere to go, you were wandering aimlessly just now." Chouka still tried to walk past him but the male kept blocking his path.

"Just tell me everything that's going on..." Chouka sighs, eventually giving up. He just sits on the cold floors and curls up into a small.

Oh how he so badly wanted his world to just consist of nothing outside of the pathetic ball he was curled into.

As the butterfly was lost in thoughts, the shorter male sat down next to him. And... Tried to hug him?

Chouka was immediately caught off guard, and he couldn't help but... Wheeze at how awkward the Fc Barcha player was acting.

Tsuruji turns his head away in embarrassment, his cheeks turning slightly red. "Lean. I don't care at this point. Now speak."

"Oh you want me to speak? Okay then! Did you know that the human lips are made out of the same material surrounding the human anus? Now I want you to imagine what it'd be like if people ate through the anus and shit out of the mouth."

"On second thoughts, I'm just going to make you sniff a glue stick and glue your lips together."

Tsuruji sighed. Sometimes he wanted to scoop the guts out of this man and wipe off that stupid smirk. "Just tell me about what happened just now."

Chouka groaned, knowing that there was no way out of this. "I... I don't even kno- I'm not sure...? Panic attack? Ugh, this is such a pain..”

"How does it feel though...is it similar or different from mine." Chouka then gives him a dry look. The two stare at each other for quite a bit. "Buddy, how the fuck do you think I'm supposed to know?”

Tsuruji turned away again.
"Look I'm not sure alright?! I'm confused and I just don't talk to people much cause I don't understand!"

"THEN LEAVE ME ALONE!! IF YOU'RE NOT SURE, CONFUSED, BLAH BLAH BLAH I DON'T. CARE. If that's what you're gonna say then just fuck off because you clearly WON'T FUCKING HELP ME!!”

The shorter male snaps and grabs the other male by the collar, pushing him hard on the ground. His own eyes widened at what he just did, he didn't know what to say or do. As his body just moved on its own.

"Shut up. Shut up! SHUT UP! WHY CAN'T I HELP?! I'M THAT USELESS?! I'M SORRY-I'm...Sorry…”

Tsuruji's breathing turned from ragged and laboured to completely nothing once he realised what he'd done. He looks down at the male under him.
