CHAPTER 12
~ listening to HEAVENS GATE while writing this chapter (for some reason). ~
Seriously, Rostary-Chan, I think I will end up dedicating a lot of chapters of Utapri fanfictions to you XDDDD I am just THAT thankful to you for sticking around since Crystal Time. (^^) Oh, thank you for the votes as well, guys :D
Tokiya really loved Haruka... with all his life. She was his first love after all. She became the chandelier (?) when he was hopeless in the obscurity of showbiz. She bailed him out when he lost in the sea of his fans, pining for his perfection like a shoal of piranhas. She appeared suddenly like an angel in his life before metaphorically disappearing since she was married to a guy who looked almost the same to him. As mentioned, she did not completely disappear since they still met after that, only as his composer and friend. That was the ebb and flow of their relationship. It was harrowing but he had to deal with it.
But, no matter how 'picturesque' the metaphors that Tokiya wanted to paint on his unrequited love for the woman, he was not a moron. He still had a clever brain which talked him into the fact that he should get angry when Haruka made him feel so. He was not the foolhardy guy in a gore or horror movie, letting his beloved but psychotic woman to do whatever she pleased.
So, today, he decided to avoid Haruka's golden eyes especially when she cast a remorseful glance at him. He continued to be static like an effigy on his spot until a pair of lean arms enveloped his frame, followed by a bright grin.
It was Otoya, his arguably best friend in STARISH.
"Finally I can see you face-to-face, Tokiya! It doesn't feel right to only text you," Otoya exclaimed as his bubbly voice ricocheted in Tokiya's ears. When everyone plus himself typically felt that he found the redhead's whine as annoying, the blue head did not feel so.
Rather, it was so warm that his always-throttled chest slowly felt the coziness. It felt like he just found his 'home' back.
"Otoya, my turn! My turn!" The thin arms were replaced by a pair of familiar and beefier one. This time, the second friend was seven centimeters taller and bigger than him which made Tokiya felt like he was crushed by an anaconda.
Still, it felt so soothing.
"Tokiya, I miss you soooo much!! You still look as cute as ever!" Natsuki said, ignoring Syo's tongue-click.
As expected from the two peaceniks in their group. They were those people who believed that life was too short for them to despise each other.
"Oh, thanks," Tokiya hugged the tallest guy in STARISH back awkwardly. There was no way a 34-year-old man like him still looked cute right? Natsuki was still as dramatic as ever!
Not to mention they just met each other last week! Maybe Natsuki wanted to pretend that it happened otherwise so Tokiya decided to play along with the act.
From Natsuki's embrace, he could see that Cecil and Syo were pulling their funnily long faces while Ren...
It was always tricky to guess what the guy had thought about him. The oldest STARISH member was the master of both sides; concealing what he was thinking and guessing other people's feeling.
"I can't believe that we would meet here, in Masato's house on top of that! It feels like a miraculous reunion somehow!"
If you ask me, I don't call this as miraculous, Natsuki, Tokiya contained himself from rolling his eyes as soon as Haruka's lie to him crossed his mind.
