You ✧ SoraMafu ✧ MAJOR EDITING

f o r t y - s e v e n

Soraru closed the door behind him and crouched down.

Mafu, just where the hell are you?

He couldn't stop thinking about what Mafu tweeted and what Mafu messaged him.

How can Mafu even say that to his boyfriend? Not to think of him?

Soraru can't do that. Even if he did try, he can never do that.

He gritted his teeth and decided to check Mafu's Twitter once more; nothing new.

He headed to his kitchen and make himself breakfast before heading to the bathroom to take a shower and leave.

Surprisingly, within an hour and a half, he was able to accomplish that.

He headed outside and decided to contact Mafu's closest friends. Or just close friends.

"Let's meet in the local cafe near the city park."

Soraru texted and started walking towards the cafe where they'll all meet Soraru.

It was past noon and Soraru was just inside the cafe, drinking his coffee while talking to some of his friends.

Slowly, the people he contacted (Mafu's friends) came. Not all at the same time but slowly.

As soon as everyone arrived, they all kept asking Soraru the same question; "What's wrong?"

"Okay, okay, shut up, wait," Soraru said, clearing his throat. "I don't need four people repeating the same damn question."

"Just get straight to the point, Soraru-san," Luz said as he glanced at his watch. "I'm busy today."

"Take a break for a while, Luz-kun," Amatsuki said as he patted Luz's shoulder. "I feel like this is important."

"It is," Soraru said firmly. Everyone fell silent and just stared at Soraru. "Does anyone know where Mafu is?"

Eyes widened.

"M-Mafu-kun is... missing?" Urata asked.

"He... what...?" Amatsuki mumbled.

"You all don't know?" Soraru said stiffly. "You're all his close friends and you all don't know?!"

"S-Soraru-san... we've been all really-"

"Don't give me work as an excuse!" Soraru exclaimed as he rattled the table, cutting off Luz. After realizing his actions, he immediately sat down and looked down. "I... I... I d-don't know what's up with him but... he didn't even text you all?"

"No..." Sakata replied quietly. "You?"

"H-he did..." Soraru mumbled.

For some reason, the expressions of the four (Amatsuki, Luz, Urata, Sakata) were all the same; surprised. Was this the first time they saw Soraru this weak?

Soraru slowly took out his phone and opened the message of Mafu. As he looked up to show it to them, his eyes were teary, which made them all taken aback.

"S-Soraru-san..." Amatsuki mumbled as he placed his hand on Soraru's shoulder.

"Just... read..."

Amatsuki took Soraru's phone and showed it to Urata, Sakata, Luz, and himself.

"Soraru-san, I'll be out today. The entire day. Please do not trouble yourself in looking for me! I can take care of myself~ and please do not think of me the entire day or you'll end up looking for me. Please busy yourself for today!"
