~After the Rain~ (Soramafu)

Calm Before The Storm

As I heard Soraru talking to Mafumafu, I looked at them and wondered what they talked about, because I couldn't understand anything. Out of nowhere Soraru screamed at us and said that we should call an ambulance. I looked with a surprised face at Mafumafu and realized why he wanted us to call the ambulance. Mafumafu coughed and couldn't breath right, I was able to tell because his face was all red and he trembled like hell.

I looked at Sou and as I already thought he looked at me with a face full of fear and helplessness. I grabbed my mobile out of my bag and called the ambulance, to be honest, I really wanted to hug Sou because he looked so scared and afraid,but at first I had to call the ambulance and I also thought he wouldn't like it, if I would do this.

I tried to hear what they talked about, as I was able to tell what they had said my eyes widened. I looked at Sou and he really looked shocked, even more than before. Mafumafu told Soraru that he loved him? Did I get that right? The way Sou looked, I was right, Mafumafu just confessed his love to him.

After a few minutes the ambulance had been already there and brought Mafumafu into the hospital.

I brought Sou home and then walked to my own home, the rest of the day we only heard that Mafumafu were able to leave the hospital the next day and we could be able to talk to him then.

The next day I met with sou in front of the hospital to wait for Mafumafu, at first I thought he wouldn't come because he still looked very shocked when I brought him to his house, but after a few minutes I saw his little statue walking towards me. I greeted him and he looked at me and also greeted me.

Only five minutes passed after we arrived there and we already saw how Mafumafu came towards us. He greeted us and then explained what happened. I looked at Sou and he looked at Mafumafu, I could easily tell that he was bothered, because he just was like a open book to me.

I opened my mouth and began to speak, "I'm really relieved that it wasn't something too serious and that you're fine. I saw how sou stood beside me and forced a smile and said, "it was really surprising that...", he stopped for a second and then began again to speak:"That you told soraru that you love him". After a few seconds he couldn't keep it up anymore, his smile faded and he ran off. I looked at Mafumafu, he didn't get what was happening, so I ran after Sou and stopped him some meters away. I looked at his face and I thought I get to see tears, but nothing, he just looked angry. I asked, "You're really at your limit, don't you?" He mumbled with a trembling voice and in an angry tone, "You can tell just looking at me? You're such a genius! You already know that I love him, don't you? You're sometimes such a stalker... You can tell that... this jealousy destroys me, right? I can't take it... " He didn't finish his sentence, but I could tell that he wanted to say, "Why does he love Soraru and not me?"

My eyes wandered in his face and I told him, "He stands right here and you are here with him. You are the one who is by his side now! Not Soraru! Don't waste your time with pitying yourself. Try to make him love you. Show him that you're better than Soraru.", my mouth said this, but my heart only ached, I really didn't like the thought that he would be going out with Mafumafu.

I still looked at Sou as I saw that Mafumafu watched us. His eyes widened and his face showed only a big confusion and tears rolled down his face. I looked at Sou, he went to Mafumafu and hugged him. It felt like someone was stabbing my heart, it really hurt.

Sou began to speak, "It's alright, don't worry too much", he smiled at Mafumafu and then walked away. I thought that Mafumafu still was a little bit confused as I walked away, but to be honest, I didn't mind, in the end, I hadn't been the person who loves him. So I let him stay there alone and walked across the city, because I didn't really want to go home right now.

As I finally arrived at my home after about one hour, I couldn't even sit down as I already heard the doorbell rang.

I stood up and went to the door and slowly opened it. The one who was standing there surprised me a little bit, because he barely came to visit me. I sighed a little bit and then asked the brown haired man in front of me, "What is it, Sakou-san?" I was very close to him, but he still was some years older, so I still called him by his last name, sometimes I thought he didn't like it, but he never even mentioned it so I kept quiet and called him Sakou-san every time. I never spend a single thought on calling him Tomohisa or something because I think it's just rude, to call someone older than you by his given name.

He smiled at me and said, "Hey Kain. I was in the town so I wanted to see you, I mean when did we talk the last time? Two years ago?" I smiled, even now it still didn't feel right to smile, but I knew, if I made a sad face he would be worried about me. At the same time I thought that he maybe already realized that I faked the smile. In such things he was like an expert, he easily could tell the emotions of the person in front of him. He looked at me and his smile faded. I knew it, he saw right through my facade.

He sighed and began to speak, "What's the problem? You can't deceive me I see through your fake smile. So what's the matter? What makes you suffer and worry so much?" I went to my living room and sat down on the couch. I looked at Tomohisa who sat down right in front of me and then asked, "Do you like something to drink before you have to listen to my long and sad story, my new psychologist?" He looked at me and shook his head.

I began to speak, "I already told you about my feelings for Sou right? Yesterday... Well Mafumafu confessed his feelings to Soraru and Sou likes Mafumafu, so he was very sad and you know... I told him not to give up and fight for Mafumafu and now I'm scared, because I just don't want that to happen, but I also couldn't tell him, that he should love me, so... I had no other choice, than tell him to try harder... ", I sighed and looked at Tomohisa.

He looked at me and then said, "I see... This is really a big problem. I think you just have to tell him how you really feel about him... You can't let Mafumafu steal him away from you. You were the first who liked him so you should just try telling him your feelings and when he says he doesn't like you , you know that you have to give up... You know sometimes is to give up the only way to find your true love and then you can be sure he isn't yours."

I looked at him and thought a moment about what he said. Maybe he was right and I just have to make the situation clear between us. I began to speak, "You're right, I will try this... Even though I know that I need much courage and I think it will be so embarrassing... I really hope he change his thoughts about Mafumafu and takes the chance to go out with me." Tomohisa smiled and then explained, "When you just let the chance, go and don't tell him how you feel, it will definitely come even worse and then I'm not there to help you, do you understand?" I nodded and smiled a bit as I said, "Thank you, you really helped me."

Tomohisa stood up and went to the door. As he left, he winked me and I waited at the door till I couldn't see him anymore. Finally, I knew what I could do. I would definitely confess my feelings to Sou and maybe we really could go out with each other. Otherwise, I thought I would be sad, but it would be still better than waiting for years and then hearing him saying that he didn't like me.
