Redamancy//Oikawa Tooru

6 Kaku

"Iwazumi is his name right?" asks Oikawa looking at the stars beside me. I'm surprised he sat on the grass that could easily stain his pants. I had to admit it was a lot more fun staring at the stars with someone, then with no one.

"Yea, he's my older brother," I replied softly.

"Really? You guy's don't look the same," he smiles.

"Well, I got my mom's side and he obviously got dad's." Oikawa doesn't answer for a second but scratches the back of his neck. A tense atmosphere suddenly hangs above us.

"Where's your parent's? Didn't they come?"

I nervously adjust myself so I sank into the ground. It felt like my throat had dried up.

"My mom, she was sold by my dad to a couple of gamblers...a while after my dad left."

Oikawa doesn't say anything but gulps in anxiety. My toes twitched in my black boots as there were goosebumps all over me. His big eyes moved towards me. I could feel his eyes looking into my soul, the atmosphere wasn't awkward it was pitiful and lonely.

"I-...I'm so sorry I didn't mean too-"

"Don't worry about it, they were terrible parent's anyways...that's why I love my older brother Iwa-chan, he never left," I cut him off and wave my hand back and forth.

Oikawa scoots closer to me.

"Well if it makes you feel any better, today's my mother's death anniversary, and I'm spending it trying to look for a wife," he shakes his head and holds a confusing expression.

"Oh that's awful...why aren't you talking to other girls anyways?"

"Oh my older brother, he just took off for me because apparently, I didn't know what I was doing," Oikawa rolls his eyes and pops his fingers not looking at me anymore, but back to the stars.

"He sounds like a twat," I said laughing at the end.

Oikawa laughs along with me, "Yeah he is sometimes, but that's the way he is, er...always has been...but I know he's just got a lot on his plate becoming king and all."

"What about your little brother?" I asked curiously.

"Oh he's an athletic monster, he'll do anything if it involves running or throwing a ball...I think that my family's just focusing on things because mom died...I was doing that for the longest time too."

I didn't know how to answer. The douchebag Prince was being deep with me and I feel like he's being real. It wasn't new, everyone knew the queen died because of the plague not too long ago.

"Well, that's what happened...everyone forgets the pain after a little while after going numb, but," I stand up and look at him with my best smile holding my hand out, "It's always good to remember when it's needed, I mean even the dead deserve a little attention."

Oikawa takes my hand and I pull him up. He looks down at me as I pull off my cape and hand it over to him.

"Here, put this on."

Oikawa hesitates for a second before shrugging and putting it around his shoulders. Then I reach as far as I could to pull the hoodie over his face. Then I laughed as he reminded me of a red pepper. I grab his hand and run. He's such a slow runner at first but eventually gets the hang of my speed and starts to run against me.

"Where we going?" he yells out as soon as we started to cross the streets.

"Like I said even the dead need a little attention!"

We ran, my hand still hanging onto his. Each second as we ran passed by stands and old stone buildings he started to gasp and hold onto my hand tighter. The night was dark as ever but with only the street lamps and the stars to help me find our way.

Of course, some people were out but it didn't affect our speed or the fact we didn't stop until we got to the graveyard. It was a plain flat land with the forest right behind it only making it creepier.

 As soon as me and Oikawa stop he took a second to sit on the ground and take deep breaths. As for me, this was exciting and my blood was rushing.

"How are you not out of bre-ath!?" he huffs out.

I shrugged, "I guess out running rapists, killers, and witches are part of my daily routine."

Oikawa laughs and gets his breathing in check. Of course, the door was locked so I was first to jump over the fence. I made Oikawa get his hands dirty for me. From there he got the hang of this, he was too scared when he got to the top. I pulled his shoe and he fell.

The queens grave was the biggest and most obvious. It was a statue of her on her tomb with a bunch of colored flowers around her. I took a fresh flower from someone else's tomb and hand it over to Oikawa to give to his mother.

He kneeled down before the statue, closing his eyes and putting his right hand on his heart. I kneeled behind him in respect.

"Mother of mine," he says softly "Please hear me out, I know you are in a better place and all, but I like to say thanks..." he gulps and I hear his voice cracking, "You really were the best mother, and best queen, I'm sorry you couldn't stay longer."

I opened my eyes to see his head hung and his body was shaking. I did the same thing Iwa-chan did to me whenever I cried. I walked over to him and put my right hand on his head. My fingers made their way through his brown waves and I started to pet him softly.

"There are things we don't want to happen but we have to accept...things we don't want to know but what we have to learn and people we can't live without but have to let go."

Oikawa takes one sniff and stands up. I stood on my tippy toes to wipe off the stain tears from his face and he looks at me with a sad expression. I smiled my best to try to lighten the situation. He softly grabs my wrist suddenly and his facial expressions changed.

"Hey, what's wrong dude, you're hurting my wrist," I said struggling to get loose. His pupils suddenly went back to their normal size and he lets go. He mumbles something under his breath as I wipe my hand on my cape.

"Yuk, my hand's wet," I laughed as he began to smile. I then punched his arm and he flinches in pain.

"Enough being sad tall brick, let's go have some fun, the nights still young!" I laughed grabbing his wrist and begins running towards the fence.
