Something Viral (yaoi)

#3: I like Tapioca

"i know everything about you." he smiled. "But i have to say... You are good." 

"i'm the best." i said as i stood up. "will you quit scaring me?" 

"Yukari-san... I am a retired death god. I can do whatever i want." 

"i know you're mentally challenge. Is this some kind of a roleplaying game? Will you quit it?!" i sighed as i hold on the knob. "will you just take me home?" 

"i said i am a retired death god not the other way around!!" 

"they just described you good. How come you retired in a young age? And besides, what do i have to do with you?!" 

---- 

As we stepped out, a tall guy shown up. His hair is white and his clothes... He looks like a visual kei fan. Seems like a reject from a v-kei band. 

"we meet again... Maeda-kun?" 

Maeda-san tried to cover me. "sorry, do i know you?" 

"what do you mean?!" the guy sputtered. "what do you mean you don't know me?!" 

"ah. The replacement shinigami." 

Replacement shinigami. Is this bleach?! What?! 

"let me rephrase. A replacement manager." he smiled. "whoever you are, you are getting in our way." 

The guy just clicked his tongue. "whatever. You old hag. Remember my name. I am Toshiro Sakurai!!!" 

"fine by me. Nice to meet you Sakurai." He pulled me as we walked past him. He acted as if there's nothing weird going on. "let's get you home." 

"don't you walk away from me!!" 

"i can't hear you. I'm too old for this." 

We rode his bike again. The white haired guy is about to strike something at us but Maeda-san seems cool. "Stop that." he said as he placed his palm. It seems like a glass window suddenly popped right in front of Sakurai-san. "sugoi. It's back." 

"your power..." 

"it's back." he was shocked. "how... How..." 

"i have no time for this." he started his engine and off we went back home. 

------ 

"I'm sorry that i have to take your son with me." He said with a warm smile. He seems like there are roses appearing from everywhere. "i want him to realize how hard it is to earn money." 

He's so good at lying. "i'm tired." i went to my room and locked myself. This has been very weird. What should i do? I covered myself with my pillows. 

A guy named Toshiro Sakurai. Then this guy named Shintaro Maeda... They both have superpowers and they both claimed to be a deathgod. Are they on drugs? Or is it just global warming? Whatever!!! Ahh mou. I forgot to check my mails. 

I went to my computer and checked my mails. I prepared my wig and surgical mask. Today i will do a violin cover of "Slightly Chipped Full Moon" it's special today... I will uae onii-chan's violin. I took it before mama decided to give all of his things away. Yes, i will do a violin cover. I just liked how it sounds... It sounds more mellow and it suits the song itself. 

I logged in and updated my status. 'i love tapioca <3' soon as i am ready i started shooting my video. 

----- 

"aren't you Yukari Shinoda-kun?" it was Sakurai-san! Darn it. He found me!! I smell trouble. He just sprayed something in my face and i feel so sleepy. 

At that moment... I can think of Maeda-san. 

"If you have time to play around, then leave me alone!!" i closely held my violin and started weeping. That was my onii-chan. I am trying to cheer him up because i know the pressure of taking his exams to Hamabi is too much for him. He is my idol... Next to Koma'n. 

My oniichan is not that sour. His attitude has changed after he failed to impress our parents. He used to be the best student back in middle school. I know that, i have seen him happily waving his perfect scores and at the same time i admire him play his violin. 

Just a month after getting to Seto Private High School, he was pressured. No matter how hard he pushed his limits, he still failed... Actually he keepd on failing. But why? It's so unfair. He never had friends or his life is not as good as mine. That's why i start to understand the pressures of being the eldest child of the family... But still, it's cruel for them to tell him that he should have studied inatead of slacking off to get a girlfriend. In fact he never had friends! He stays in the library, he sleeps late but he still... Failed. 

Dark circles formed under his eyes even his megane can't conceal them. "Yosh. I will pass the exam. I will enter Hamabi")." 

"gambatte, onii-chan!" 

"don't you have faith in me? Gambatte on your entrance exam in Seto." 

"he spends much time online. Do not hope for it." mama butts in. 

Chigau. I just don't want to be smothered by your procastinations. 

Days later, i have received the acceptance letter from Seto. "onii-chan! Kore! Kore!" i showed him the letter. 

"oya. My ototo made it." i sense sarcasm in his tone. "omedetou." 

"arigatou." i smiled. " ne, when will you get the acceptance letter?" 

"i don't know." he ruffled my hair. "sorry for being too hard on you." 

"i understand that. The pressure..." 

"Yukari. Take care of mama when i'm gone." 

"are?" 

"you're a man in the making. So you have to protect our family." 

"are you going to leave us?" 

"well... Hamabi is a bit far." 

"well then..." i don't know why i sense something strange with his words, his acts and he's telling things like it's gonna be our last conversation. 

"if i leave this world, you can have my violin." 

"what are you saying?" 

"nandemo nai." he hugged me tight. "take care." 

"onii-chan!!!" 

The next day, we were having our breakfast. "Where's your brother?" 

"i called him but he's still sleeping... I think." 

Mama stood up. "it's late." she went to my oniichan's room and after a few minutes, i heard mama cried. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" I stood up and rushed to his room. There goes mama, holding my lifeless brother. He poisoned himself just after his birthday. For the first time, i was able to enter his lair. Everywhere i see equations, solutions and on his table laid three letters. I was stunned... 

----- 

I opened my eyes. I noticed that my eyes are watery, of all the times to dream... Why now? Oh right. I was abducted by a weird person. 

"such a sad story for a protagonist... Don't you think?" it was Sakurai-san. "it really happened?" 

"how did you--" 

"darling. That's how a deathgod works. Or let's say it's a perk. We are able to see someone's----" 

"past, present and how and when a human will die." i butted with sarcasm. "this is too stereo, don't you think?"
