CHAPTER 10

Thank you for the endless support, Rostary-chan! I am just so happy that I decided to dedicate this chapter to you! ^^ And also thanks to AkabaneToudouShion for your vote and comment ^^

"Be careful... slowly," unconsciously comporting like a nurse, Tokiya assisted Masato to head for his chair. His right hand moved to Masato's back, supporting the scion so that he could sit comfortably. "Is it comfortable? Or do you want to lean back more?"

"That's okay. I feel comfortable enough so you also should take your seat," Masato said, smiling all the way when Tokiya obeyed him and settled himself in another chair. "Really, thank you so much, Tokiya. It's a great help even the progress is..."

"It took you five steps before you collapsed. That's great already," Tokiya cut him short. Even he was still wearing his infamous poker face, anybody could sense that he was heartening his friend. "When the doctor said that it's impossible for you to walk again."

"Haha. I guess my hard work did pay off, right?" Masato never had the slightest idea that his smile was the one thing that Tokiya needed in this circumstance after witnessing his friend suffering. "Putting that aside, I can't believe I can see you again this soon. I mean... I just watched your drama this morning and this afternoon, you are sitting right in front of me! This feels like a meeting with a celebrity."

If there was anything that made Tokiya unsettled was to match up Masato's upbeat vibes. All he could do was smiling until his face muscle felt ached due to the unnatural state.

"Are you really free today?" Despite Tokiya's dearth of responses, it did not dishearten Masato from throwing next questions. "If you still have work, you don't have to..."

"It's okay. I am free," Tokiya cut him short.

Specially made to visit you, apparently, his mind supplied.

"I see. But..." Masato stared at Tokiya for a few seconds before averting his gaze at their reflection in the big mirror which was placed behind Tokiya. "The more I look at it, the more similar we are to each other. It's amazing!"

Tokiya knew there was no need for him to see their reflection. Out of those people on the earth, he would be the one who did not need such a reminder. Yet, he still could not help but turn to the mirror.

Indeed. They were very similar. Even Tokiya's hair was darker in color, followed by Masato's beauty mark under his eye, the rest of the striking features were very similar which fascinated everybody who saw them together.

"Yeah, that's what people out there always told us whenever they saw us together," Tokiya said, turning again to face Masato.

"I know right? But..." Masato's eyes still fixed on him. "Now that I have a better look on you, you are so handsome, Tokiya. Like a doll. You even look more striking than when you appeared on TV."

Awkward chuckles escaped from Tokiya's thin lips. It felt weird to be complimented on his look by someone with the similar face. "We are similar so..."

"Hey, don't say that," Masato exclaimed shyly. Despite his amnesia, he was still quick to catch Tokiya's ambiguous words. Just like the old him."Even we do look similar, everybody will say that you are much more attractive and well-built. I already lost my shape."

Yeah, you did lose your shape, Tokiya mentally admitted. Again, his eyes settled on Masato's skinny arms which were revealed under his yukata sleeves.

'How come?' was the only thing he could ask in his mind. Their body sizes were also similar so he still remembered how sturdy Masato was before he got himself ill.
