Munakata looked at the former Super Highschool Level Boxer who had situated himself on a bench in the park and mumbled something under his breath. The latter looked dishveled, as if he had gotten into a fight but with none other but himself.
'An inner struggle,' he mused, as he went over and approached the male, who seemed to be zoning out into the distance, gazing into the horizon with a blank expression plastered onto his face. His posture always straight and alert, though he seemed relaxed before tensing slightly when he heard footsteps on the grass.
"Hm? Ah, Munakata. What brings you here?" Juzo asked, seemingly curious as his gaze shifted to the grey haired male upon sensing his arrival in his comfort zone. Munakata let out a tiny, almost unnoticeable smile as he sat beside Juzo on the bench and sighed a bit.
"A lot on your mind, Sakakura? You haven't been paying attention to some meetings these days. What happened?" he asked, even though he was innerly scolding himself because he, too, didn't manage to focus during meetings as he had always felt the sharp gaze of Juzo's crimson orbs drilling onto his back, staring at him for the whole session of the meeting.
"A...ah. Yeah, I guess you can say so. There's been some thoughts that continue to mess with my head, that's all." the latter replied with a small chuckle as he ran his fingers through his hair, before sighing exasperatedly. "To be quite honest, these thoughts don't make me tired or frustrated. It makes me wonder, and by wondering, it makes me frustrated." He stared at me with a small smile, his arm around the bench as he stared at the sky through my orbs, as i found my heart pounding quite fast at that small quirk of his soft lips.
Those soft lips I wish to touch with mine.
Those soft lips that spoke harsh words.
Those soft lips that are waiting.. waiting for me... to claim.I shook away my thoughts as I gave him a slight chuckle. "Well, it is also how my mind's state is as of now.. Troubled, yet delighted that I could still feel frustrated and distressed by this small predicament, though I could easily close the case if I had the courage to."
His face contorts to that of confusion, before he shifts his gaze back onto the sky with a laugh."I doubt we are talking of the same thing, but heck does it seem so similar, Munakata. Though I don't hope much, I hope my problem gets resolved soon. Yours, too. Can't leave either of us rampaging out on the schoolgrounds just because of small matters, now, isn't that right?"
As Juzo said this, he slowly stood up and dusted off his pants, covered in imaginary wood dust. I, too, stood up along with him and nodded in agreement. "Indeed, that is true. Hmm.. It is getting quite late. We should go and head back home, don't you think? Be careful on your way back, Sakakura."
He smiled in return and nodded, going to walk on the opposite side of the road as we both went off to our respective homes.

The wind carries the breezy scent of jasmine, lingering in the air as he and I departed from one another.
Ah, he got a new parfume?
He had stared onto my lips the moment before.
I felt weak. His gaze made me feel weak. As usual, I am of no use when facing him.His voice... I wish to hear it once more..
To hear his voice, sweet and velvety, tinkling like jades..
To hear his voice, again, tommorow...
..when he greets me.
