Tetsuya…

This isn't over…

Gomen… minna…

????'s P.O.V

The doors of the gym opened and then a silver haired guy came in. Not noticing that the was one more person in 'his territory' he yawned once and laid down on the floor, seemingly having a nap.
The other boy, tilting his head in the side, very curious about the other chose to approach him. 

As all the sounds outside the gym kept going on, he stood, bent, over the punk-looking boy's head, observing it and him altogether.
When he suddenly opened his eyes, possibly bothered by the new-found shade over his face, more likely expecting someone else by the look of irritation he shot him at first.

Then after two seconds of a staring contest, the silver haired teen shot up, yelling in suprise.

~~~~~~~~~~~

That was their first meeting.
Not a pleasant one and definitly not normal…

But it was ok
It was fine as long as he got to have a friend.
As long as he got a shoulder to hold on…
As long as he had support

I never told anyone, it never came up, so I let it be…
But I never thought…
You were there first Haizaki-kun…
Why
Why were you the first to leave?

You were always there to help…
Where did you go?
Where…?

"Just leave me alone." I told him.
"You can finally rest assured you are free from this useless phantom, captain" Regretted every word, but it's ok
It's ok, because, because I won't have to suffer anymore… I won't have to deal with being forgotten because I won't know…
.
.
.
It's ok…
.
.
.
I'll be ok

So…
So… I just have to…
Disappear … again…

The tears are ready to fall down now… but I won't let them.
Not in front of him.

I'm the one hurting everyone, I shouldn't be crying.
But what can I do…? His murmuring's getting louder… too loud…
Stop!

"Tetsuya!!!" His voice, colder than ice, stops me from taking another step, while he moves forward, nearer than he should.
"This…" He started, halting just  a step away from my shaking shoulders. "This isn't over!"
I am aware my whole body is trembling, my teeth gritted against each-other and my bangs hid my expression.
"I don't know why you're suddenly thinking like this… But I will find out! And I will save you!"

"Suddenly…?" I asked over my shoulder, not turning to see him. "How would you know that, Captain?"

"You wouldn't know… never, ever would I let you know either."

I didn't turn to see him, but I was almost too sure his expression wasn't the usual stoic one.

"Hehe, you have no idea, how much, I've thought like this… no idea…
And, you never will." I take a few more painful steps when his voice booms over the place.
"Fine then! But I will save you Tetsuya!"
Why
"Why would you do that?" I ask, a few tears already streaming down my cheeks, mixing in with the blood that poured down my face from the impact earlier. "Why do you even care now?"
"What are you talking about, Tetsuya?" He sounds impatient, worried even, for… for someone as useless as me… And I'm about to hurt him.
"You said you wouldn't stop me… you said it didn't matter if I quit. What's bothering you now?" I want to stop. I want to turn around and apologize for everything, I want to tell him, my first hope, how none of my words are true… but I won't.
I can't.
It'll be better this way…
"Or are you finally bored again so you decided to play with me once more?
What will you do after you're finally satisfied, huh? Leave me to break in the shadows?" Please forgive me…
I'm sorry.

"Just go away. And don't ever talk to me again."

I didn't wait for his response.
I left as soon as I said my last words.
I don't want to feel his hurt. I don't want to hear him break…
I just want them to be ok.
.
.
.
Even if I'm not…

I'm sorry… everyone…
I'm just not good enough.
I''m not strong enough.

I'm just me….
A stupid, weak, shadow

I can't live in your lights…
