Forgotten Love 『satoshiki』

Chapter 7: Experimenting

ok, so, I'm going to be writing in first person in this chapter just to see how it would be. I want to try and expand my abilities with writing so maybe I'll get a little better just by this little chapter. Ok, well, I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Yoshiki's POV~

I stumbled back and I felt a deep pang of pain suddenly course through the back of my head. I hit my fucking head on the wall for crying out loud. It was almost traumatizing what was in that shitty closet though so you can't really blame me.

"Are you okay?" I heard Satoshi say as he approached me with such wide, worried eyes. I would be happy that he was looking at me like that if I weren't laying on the floor and rubbing my head in pain.

Satoshi crouched down beside me and held me down. I felt a little weird about what was happening but I let him do it anyway.

"Let me check your head, you could be injured more than it seems. It's dangerous to hit your head so carelessly like that." He said and pushed me over on my stomach.

My head didn't feel that bad but it seemed cute that Satoshi wanted to check if I was okay. It just seemed so nice of him to do, for some odd reason. Maybe it's because I never really get this type of care from anyone else. I don't really know why I think it's cute.

After a couple minutes he got up and held out a hand for me to grab. I took it and got up, not wanting to let go and it seemed he didn't want to either. We stood there for a couple awkward seconds before we both stepped away from each other.

This cute dork had me basically blushing. I quickly averted my eyes and looked down to the floor. "We should really leave. The closet isn't the prettiest sight." I said and reached for his arm.

I felt like I had to protect him even though he was basically almost as strong as me. Well, at least I think so. I just feel like I need to keep him away from harm. I don't want him to be traumatized by this fucked up place.

I grab his arm gently and pull him out of the room. Satoshi walked along side me, looking up to see me every few seconds. I avoid his gaze and keep my eyes to the floor. Maybe he thinks I don't notice. He's cute

We make it to this classroom but it looks almost identical to all of the others we've been in. I peep my head in to see shattered windows and broken desks. I would suggest escaping out the window but it was boarded up quite messily actually. What type of asshat boards up a shattered window with desks, I think to myself

"I hope Naomi is okay, I'm kind of worried about her." Satoshi said and continued walking. I won't lie, I do feel kind of jealous but I guess I am the one basically holding hands with the guy. I guess Satoshi doesn't see me the way I see him. I'm okay with that though.

I continue to look away though. I'm scared to look at him. What if I embarrass myself? Satoshi and I are best friends, even if I do embarrass myself he'll just shrug it off and laugh. I still feel nervous, about even being here.

We still don't even know why or how we're here. What a shitty experience.

Satoshi's POV~

I regret saying what I said. I can tell he doesn't even want to look at me. I'm even giving him a smile yet he won't glance my direction. I should try saying something else.

I just wanted to clear the silence but I just made it worse. Yoshiki tightened his grip on my hand and I looked down to my feet.

Our steps were going at exactly the same pace. I'm oddly fascinated by this, making sure that it stays like this. Almost like a weird game I'm playing with him that he's completely unaware about. Never mind, that's stupid. I look to the gross-looking walls instead.

I don't know why I'm thinking such things when there are better things to be worrying about. We don't have any information about why we're at this cursed school or of anything about this school at all. We need to find answers immediately

I did say I was worried about Naomi but I feel like she's safe with Shinohara or maybe even with Shinozaki. I feel more worried about Yuka if anything, she can trust just about anyone.

Yuka is my little sister and I'm supposed to make sure she's safe and sound at home but instead she's in this damn hell elementary school with corpses and ghosts too. I hope she hasn't seen too much here.

You could literally call this place a corpse party, I feel like I'm getting used to seeing dead bodies now. I'm scared of that adaption. Everything seems like I'm hallucinating though. All the ghosts are special effects and the corpses are just people with amazing makeup. However, I know how untrue this is. I'm just using it to calm myself down.

I look up to Yoshiki to see him looking back at me already. He gave me a worried smile and then quickly turned his head. I feel my heart suddenly get that feeling. It's always when I make eye contact with his beautiful eyes. The usual cold gaze he dives people is nothing like the look he gives me. It's full of love and care. At least I think I mean, it could mean anything.

"Yoshiki, let me ask you a question." I say and grab his hand instead of his forearm. It was weird holding forearms, it would be better if we just held hands anyway. We've done this before so it's normal. Especially in a place like this, we'll probably forget about it too.

Yoshiki looked at me and nodded his head as a gesture to ask my question. I smiled and looked away for a second and felt as though I was looking anywhere but his face. I suddenly got nervous and my mind blanked. I felt his eyes staring at me at this moment which only made it worse.

"Do you have feelings for Shinozaki?" I ask. We usually talk about this stuff so it's not weird. I've always wondered this though. He's always hanging around her if we're not together. Or trying to hang out with her.

Yoshiki's POV~

I grit my teeth and feel a slight red form on my face. Why would he ask such a straight forward question at a time like this? I still need to answer though because not answering would probably confirm that she's special to me.

"Uh.. No, I don't. Why do you ask?" I ask him. He quickly looked down after me returning a question. I just needed to get the pressure off of myself before I said something embarrassing.

I noticed him blush, his grip on my hand seeming stronger. I laugh lightly and he looked back up at me. I don't mean to tease but he's being too adorable for me not to.

"Why are you laughing?" Satoshi asked and looked up at my hair or somewhere up there I think.

I answered without even thinking. "Because, you just look so adorable when you're blushing." I say and then laugh worriedly. Maybe I should have thought about what I was going to say. This wasn't anything like a friend would say to another friend anymore.

Ah, I think the chapter did pretty okay. I was able to write a lot more than usual with first person so I actually don't know if I'll keep this fan fiction just third person. I don't really know so if you have any ideas on it, I would totally like if you commented or messaged even about if I should just stay as third person or I should keep both. I wouldn't be fully dropping third person, I would just start switching it up each chapter as the story continues. So anyways, let me know if I should! Ok, well byebye~!
