HANASHIMA

03: freckles

One more day. After tomorrow, Tadashi would be gone. It's be a hard day for him today, that's for sure.

"For the last time, stop touching my ass!" Tadashi heard as he neared the vending machine to get something to drink. He knew oh-so-well who that was. It came from none other than, Tsukishima Kei.

"But babe, you only said to not do it in public!" He heard a deep voice reply, followed by laughs of the two of them. Tadashu hyperventilated as this broke his heart into pieces, he had no chance to begin with. Kissing sounds could be heard and Yamaguchi's breathing fastened its pace as if he's catching for air, which is true.

"Oh, fuck my luck," He had placed his inhaler beside his water bottle in the gymnasium that's on the other side of the school. While he tried to look for a safe place and Koushi, his phone rang.

"M-moshi, moshi?"

"Yama-cchi?! Are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm f-fine"

"Tadashi, you are not. Where are you?"

"Oh, Seijuro. Shinzen High"

"We'll be there. Find your inhaler as soon as possible, are we clear?"

"Hai"

Tadashi limped, his esophagus filling up with petals. He held onto what he can, his body ready to give up on him any minute now.

god damn this weak ass body.

"Sobakasu-chan!" A tall, tan-skinned, navy blue haired boy called. Tadashi smiled ever so slightly, he was ready to fall to the ground until a long, masculine arm caught him, the slight glimpse of purple hair comforted him.

"A-arigatou, Murasakki" He whispered, passing out.

"Kou-chin, kon'nichiwa," A purple haired boy greeted, Tadashi still in his arms passed out. The group of boys found out where Koushi was, practicing his sets alone in a spare gym.

"Geh?! Mura-kun, what are you guys doing here? Oh my god?! Is he okay? What happened?!"

"He passed out, thankfully Murasakibara caught him in time," Akashi Seijuro explained as Koushi gave him a thankful smile.

"As for why we are here, Tadashi had told us to stay with him tomorrow, did he announce that tomorrow would be his last day?" Koushi's eyes widen as he froze on his spot.

"Ah, sorry. I didn't mean to spoil it for you. Yamaguchi considered surgery just by listening to you," Seijuro smiled softly as he saw sugawara tearing up.

"He actually... this boy, seriously," he smiled as tears ran down his cheeks.

Tadashi fluttered his eyes open, his vision blurry. He rubbed his eyes childishly and saw Koushi in tears.

"Eh?! senpai! Why are you crying?" He instantly sat up and wiped his tears. Tadashi looked around and saw his other friends surrounded them, waving shyly.

"Oh, Seiju told you," Tadashi scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.

"You idiot! you didn't have to keep it from me!" Koushi hugged the younger male with a smile on his face. This boy... who had no courage at first is now ready to let go and move on.

Unknown to them, a certain dinosaur was listening.
