Divided

I love you

Ruri:

I went back to the same alley every night for about a week, and almost every time he was there. I don't know who he is or why he's so nice to me but every time I show up he always leaves me a message. Hiro. That's his name. We've never spoken directly and I've never seen his face but somehow I know that when I do I'll be so happy. Tonight was the same as every night except it was raining. I still went because catching a glimpse of his light is what I look forward to every single day. When I started getting closer to the alley, all the streetlights went out, just like that first night, except this time they made the shape of an umbrella and flew straight into my hand.

I saw a shadow figure standing in the back of the alley, but didn't chase it this time. Then a twinkling ball of light floated towards me, but it was holding something. Flowers. They were beautiful.

"Thank you Hiro!" I call out into the dark street.

Then he runs off like usual leaving the light umbrella in my hands and I run to where he was standing to find a new message right where the one last night was.

These gardenias are almost as beautiful as you. I hope you like them. Maybe they can remind you of the lights even during the day.

I smile at the message and hold the white flowers close to my face. This time I decide to write him a message back and leave it where he usually stands.

I hope one day I can see the face of the boy who has made my nights brighter.

I leave the not and walk home. As soon as I get back to the dorms the umbrella fades into a sparkling, glowing dust.

"Thank you..."

Once I got back to the dorms I went to Kohaku's room to show her the flowers.

"Invisible boy again?" She says not looking up from her phone.

"Would you stop calling him that."

"Have you ever thought that maybe there's a reason he doesn't want you to know who he is? What if he's like, an old guy or something."

"He's not."

"How do you know?"

"I just... Know."

Shikkoku:

"And where have you been." I cross my arms and look at Yoshikage who has been disappearing everynight.

"None of your business." He brushes me off and walk over to Shouki and starts playing cards with him.

Mina:

Things have been really awkward lately. Ever since I found Chi that night.

Flashback

***************

"What happened?"

"He hates me..." They tears wouldn't stop pooring from her eyes and I didn't even know what happened so I could help her.

"Who? Who hates you Chi?" I pull her into a hug trying to comfort her, but also trying to warm her up, hoping she hadn't already caught a cold.

"Katsuki. He hates me... I pushed him and then he told me he didn't want to see me again." Her voice cracked and she sobbed again

"Oh Chi... I'm sure he didn't mean it..."

"You didn't see his face."

"Come on let's go inside."
