Roadtrip // Kubokai

The gift

On the last day in Nagoya the boys wanted to do a lot. They wanted to have fun, talk to others and stay up until sunrise, so they would always remember Nagoya and have wonderful memories.

That was the plan.

As the day begun, the boys had a quick breakfast on the front porch. They sat with cups of coffee and tea and enjoyed the last hours of quietness. It was a Saturday. They were aware that in the evening the city will be filled with people.

"There's a food festival at one" Kaidou looked up for any interesting events and took a sip of test.

"We've got three hours. Damn, we should've woken up earlier" Kuboyasu was staring mindlessly at the grass. The day was sunny and hot, but also windy, making every single blade of grass dance slightly.

An hour later the boys left the house. Nendou proposed asking Saiko if he wanted to join them, but Kuboyasu said he already did that, and Saiko said he wasn't interested. That wasn't exactly true. In fact, he's never asked him about joining them. Aren had other plans for this special day.

I'm going to do it! I'll tell Shun about my feelings for him. I promised myself I'll do it on this trip, and this is the perfect moment for that.

What's the worst thing that can happen?

Kuboyasu felt quite motivated. He knew he would have to confess sooner or later. He picked a place that, in the best scenario, would make the moment really special. He carefully thought about what he was going to say and predicted every possible turn of the situation.

This is why he wanted to have the least amount of people possibly interrupting him.

Good grief I'm not so sure about his plan.

Saiki was looking nervously at Kuboyasu, while they were sitting in the train.

His plan wouldn't be so bad if Kaidou could finally admit that there's definitely something between him and Kuboyasu. I shouldn't care that much.

I really, really shouldn't care that much.

He looked away and focused on the views. His fingers were automatically tapping on the window. His leg was slightly shaking. Not because he cared so much about his friend's feelings, but because he was considering something.

I could give Kaidou some hints, but on the other hand I don't want to mess with his brain. It's none of my business. I should calm down, I'm not thinking logically.

With that thought, he put on his germanium ring. This way he wouldn't think so much about what's going to happen.

Maybe I'm just a pessimist. Maybe when Kuboyasu confess to Kaidou, he'll realize he feels the same.

But again, that's not my problem.

He took a long breath. The sun was shining directly at him, so he closed his eyes. It almost made him take off his glasses, but he quickly realized how would that end.

The last days were rather complicated, but this time Kaidou felt excited and ready. He also had a plan he hadn't shared with anyone. Besides that he created another list of places he wanted to visit and things he wanted to do.

"How can you sleep at night when you're always so excited about everything?" Aren laughed and ruffled his friend's hair.

"Oh who said I can?" He joked, partially "I either close my eyes and fall asleep within seconds or not sleep at all. No in between"

Before they could continue the conversation, the train has stopped.

Thier first port of call was a market. They obviously had one in their city, but this was different. Nagoya was huge, and so was this place.
