Tears Don't Fall (Good morning call-Daichi)

13

"It's so empty today." I say, having my elbow on the table as my arm hold up my head.

"It's so sad." Issei says, basically doing the same thing. "Where's your friend when you need her? She should just come over and buy some ramen, or you could buy it for her. Or at least one friend of yours, or Nao's friends too."

"Riku said she was busy today. And Nao has a day off, she doesn't need to come all the time during those days. And why don't you go make some friends, it would be great for business." I say. He slaps the back of my head.

"I don't need friends. The only think-"

"The only think that you want is ramen. We get it Issei, you're going to marry the ramen when you grow old. You'll be happy with it than you would be with a regular girl." I cut him off. He slaps the back of my head again. "See, this is why you don't have a girlfriend."

"At least I'm good looking."

"You should check the mirror one more time. If that doesn't work, go get some medicine, you head must hurt after saying all that bul-"

"Shut up." He says coving my mouth. And then pushing me to the side.

The door opens. Finally, a costumer. "Welcome." We both day at the same time. There stands Abe, with a pretty lady. I wish I could be like her.

"Abe, What are you doing here." Issei asks.

"Getting ramen." He says. The lady smiles at the two of us before they both take a seat.

"Just give this to them." I say, handing Issei a bowl. He walks over to them and hands them a bowl. Then takes Abe by his jacket and pulls him away from her. I walk over to them.

"You've already got a new girlfriend?" Issei asks.

"The one thing you won't ever get." I whisper to Issei. He slaps the back of my head. "One more slap and I'm telling your dad." I say, rubbing my head.

"No...but I'm getting my courage to ask her out." And answers.

"Oh...I see." They both get up. "Dad, one soft boiled egg." Issei' says.

"Here you go."

Issei takes the egg and gives it to Abe. "Eat up, it'll give you courage. On the house."

"Thank you my teacher." Abe thanks him, and sits back down.

"Pointless. I whisper to Issei, as he comes over to the counter. "You don't know Abe but I do. He probably met that women like an hour ago. Do you really think she'll say yes to when he does ask her or?"

"Of course, boys got guts."

"You are so pointless." I say. He slaps my head again. "Issei slapped me!!" I shout.

"No!!" Issei shouts.

"Issei!!" His dad shout, I turn to Issei slowly with a smirk on my face. "I told you so."

"I hate you."

Not long later, Daichi came in through the door. "Oh, hey Daichi. Nao's not working today." I say.

"I know, I came her to see you." He says. I turn away from him blushing. Issei pokes my side, I look up at him to see him smirking at me and wiggling his eyebrows. I slap his side and turn back to Daichi. "Um, what for?" I ask.

"Nothing much. Just wanted to talk to you. When are you off?" He asks.

"Im off at-"

"Right now. She's off right now." Issei cuts my off.

"Ok, then great. Can I walk you home?"

I'm quiet for a second. "Sure." I say. I turn to Issei. "You have no idea what you have just done." I glare at home. I grab my things and walk out the door with Daichi.

"Do you have practice today?" I ask.

"I finished, but I wanted to come see you right after." He says. I hum in response.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" I ask.

He takes a long breath, then answers. "I feel like you're the only person I can talk about this with honestly. It's about Nao." He says.

I stay silent for a bit, not bothering to look at him. "Go ahead, talk." I say.

"I really wish she would just see me as more than a friend. Why can't she see that? I've known her my whole life, and still, I'm losing her to someone that is just...just...ugh, I can't say it. I just hate the fact that I'm losing her to Uehara." He sighs. Not I know why he wouldn't see me like that.

I don't know what to say. What am I supposed to say? "Don't...don't give up on her." I tell him.

"Why?" He asks.

"If you really feel that way towards Nao, then just don't give up on her. I wouldn't give up on someone if I really loved them." I say.

"Maybe you're right. I don't want to lose Nao. But on the other hand, I could lose her, not just to Uehara, but our friendship too." He says.

"Nao's not like that. If you two have known each other your whole lives, then I doubt she'll let that happen between the two of you. If she doesn't love more then a friend, then just keep that friendship you guys have right now." I say.

He stops and turns to me, taking a hold of my arm and pulling me towards him in a hug. "Thanks, Kumi." He says.

I try my best to hold in my tears. "It's not problem, Daichi." I said. He pulls away from the hug and smiles down at me. Then is distracted by something behind me. I turn around to see Nao walking with groceries in her hand.

I turn back to Daichi, he looks at her for a bit, then back at me. "Go ahead. I'll see at you school." I say.

He smiles at me again. "Thanks, Kumi. See you at school." He says, and runs off towards Nao, helping her out with her groceries.

I hate myself. I hate myself. I have myself.
