Labyrinth (KradLuz)

Obstacles

~Sakata's pov~

I didn't spoke to Urata or Luz yesterday anymore. After they left my house, Kradness went home, too. I made myself some dinner and then slowly walked to my bed. Everything that had happened made me so tired. I hated when we fought with each other. I could have slapped myself as I saw how Luz and Urata left my house. If Kradness hadn't been in my house I surely would've cried because of my stupid words. I hurt him and I knew that it was all my fault, why couldn't I just kept quiet? I was such an Idiot! Even though I was well aware of the fact that I couldn't change anything with just thinking of such stupid things I blamed myself so much that I wasn't able to sleep properly the whole night.

The next day I woke up at 9:00 am. Actually, I had made plans for today with Urata, but I wasn't sure if he wanted to meet me at all. I walked still sleepily to the bathroom and cleaned myself. There was still the chance that Urata would show up.

After I was ready cleaning myself, I looked in the mirror and fixed my hair, which looked like a big mess.

As I walked to my room in order to dress up myself for our meeting, I heard how my phone was ringing, which laid on my bed.

I rushed to it and picked up the call. I began to speak still out of breath, "Hello, this is Sakata. May I ask who's calling?" I waited extremely nervously for the answer, I hoped, I would hear the unique, quiet and very cute voice of Urata. Did I just think that his voice was .... cute?

My thoughts were iterrupted by exactly the voice I wanted to hear. Urata was the one who was calling me and that made me really happy. He quietly whispered trough the phone, "Here's Urata, I'm sorry for yesterday, It wasn't your fault! Luz-kun was just a bit out of his mind, you know? He had a very hard time, the last few days." I could've told him how I was feeling yesterday, but I didn't want him to be worried about me, so I didn't say anything and just asked him, "What exactly bothers him?" He kept quiet for a few seconds and then answered in a quiet voice, "I'm sorry, Sakata-san. I can't tell you why. Luz-kun surely wouldn't be happy if I told anyone his problems. You understand that, right?"

To be honest, I couldn't understand why Luz didn't want me to know his problems. I am one of his closest friends! Even though I thought this way, I knew that Urata never would betray Luz and tell me his secret. He is just too loyal, although I really liked this part of him.

I quietly said, "Yes." A few seconds later I gathered all my courage and asked, "About our plan to go to the summer festival..... Ehm... Do you still want to go with me? I was such an idiot yesterday, I can understand if you don't want to go there with such a stupid person like me."

I nervously waited for his answer, but all I could hear was his laugh. I said a little bit embarrassed, "Don't laugh at me! I'm honest." He stopped to laugh and told me, "You never listen to me, huh? I already said it wasn't your fault, so just calm down and look forward to the festival, alright?" I smiled a bit and then answered, "Alright. See you later." Urata said before he ended the call, "See ya." I sighed in relief and then put on my clothes and everything for the festival.

One hour later I already stood on our meeting point and waited for Urata. I was so excited to see him wearing a Yukata, because he would definitely look really cute in one, I was sure about this, since he was short and I thought short people look really cute in Yukata.

After a few seconds I saw Urata standing in a crowd of people. At first I didn't understand a thing, so I decided to walk towards them. As I came closer I heard how the men around him said things like, "You're really a short one, huh? How about you give us all your money, shortie? Nobody is helping you anyway." I saw how he tried to get away from them, but there were about 10 men so he couldn't do anything. 

I just stood there, I didn't know why, but my legs didn't want to move at all! As I saw how someone raised his hand to punch Urata, I finally was able to move and jumped in front of him. The man in front of me looked at me really surprised and then said, "Do you want to mess with us, too? Are you the lover of the shortie or just an idiot?" I tried to look at him very brave, even though I had to hold my cheek because the punch in my face really hurt. I said in an angry tone, "I already called the police. I hope you like to mess with them, too." They looked mad at me, before they slowly moved away.

I sighed and glanced at Urata, who stared at me really worried, even though his expression was like this, I thought that he still was very cute in the Yukata. Suddenly he shouted at me, "You're such an idiot! Why are you doing this for me? They could have had weapons! Are you totally out of your mind or something?!" I smiled a bit and said, "As longs as you're not hurt it's alright. Do you want to go to a better place for the fireworks?" He looked at me, still not very happy, and nodded.

I walked to a little hill and then stood in front of him. I sighed and began to speak, "I'm sorry. I know that you're angry at me, but I couldn't just stand there and look how they would have punched you or even worse things, you understand that, right?" He looked up to me and whispered, "You're really an idiot aren't you? Why are you so kind to me?"

I stared at him for a moment and had to think about it myself. Why? Because we are friends, aren't we? What are my feelings for him? Are we "just friends"? Or even more? All these questions popped up in my mind. I didn't know exactly what my feelings were, so I just said the first thoughts that came to my mind, "I love you, that's why." Urata stared at me and looked like a fish out of breath, because he didn't know what to say and his mouth opened and closed frequently.
