Purple - Yata Misaki Love Story

Part 53

"Son of a bitch! Only cares about himself!" Yata yelled as he pulled things out of a large bin and pitched them away behind and around him, "I'll show him!"
I frowned, wondering what we were gonna do. I sat down on his couch and allowed my thoughts to haunt me. I knew that our situation was bad, but I didn't think it would escalate so quickly, and Anna would be ripped out of our hands so soon.
I thought we had more time... but...
"Yuri." Yata cooed, kneeling down in front of me, I slowly met his eyes, "Hey, don't look so sad, okay? That monkey, he found Anna."
"But.. but we still don't stand a chance." I groaned, "Everythings falling apart all over again and-"
"Hey, Hey," He began, placing his hands on my knees and shushed me, "We can do this. The two of us, we'll be unstoppable, okay? Remember what Tatara always used to say?"
"Yeah." I smiled lightly, not being able to help it, that memory didn't make me feel like someone was shoving a knife in my chest anymore.
"Everything will work out in the end."
"That's right, baby." He reached up and kissed me hard, giving me a sense of strength somehow, "Now let's do this."
He stood and I followed, his hand held onto mine tight as we turned to head out.
"W-what the-" Yata began, the both of us stood stiff and utterly shocked at Rikio and the tears in his eyes.
I forgot he was there! I thought, feeling a blush arise on my cheeks.
"You guys, y-you're so perfect together! Man, I need a girlfriend!"
"Maybe you'd have one if you'd stop prioritizing your food over everything else." Yata sighed.
"I'm sure that you'll find someone, Rikio..." I began, chuckling wearily.
"I'm sorry you two, you go on ahead, I just need some time."
"Yeah, okay, just, don't get your snot on any of my shit okay?" Yata said, walking towards the stairs, I followed him out, hastily taking a few glances back at Rikio.
"It's like he's on his period or something." I mumbled.
"No kidding, that weirdo." Yata replied, taking a quick glance back at the helpless male as we reached the top of the stairs.
"You guys would make the cutest kids!" Rikio shouted after us as Yata slammed the door shut behind us, both of our faces left burning red.
