A week have passed. And everything has changed. Akiyo was alone in his apartment,skipping meals. He can't even remember what part he had reached in Akahana's book,cause he stopped reading it. Feeling a lot of pain everytime he remembers it. In school,they never talked to each other. Bags grew under his eyes,which barely happened cause he always slept on time. But he can't now.
Akiyo sat on his seat,slightly stumbling. Tsubaki was the one placed in Akahana's seat,which made him look around. Just to see her reading her notes.
He wasn't in the mood to read anything at the moment. He didn't have his sleep. And he was tired as hell.
Tsubaki looked at him,blinking. "Akiyo..? Are you okay ?" She asked. Akiyo looked at her,then gave a small nod. "Yeah..." He mumbled. Tsubaki looked worried for a while,then just went back to her business.
Akiyo placed his head on the desk,his arms sprawled around. Everything was still in his mind. Her words,how he knelt down and pleaded... And how she left. Everything. He was feeling empty inside. All he knew was if he could have one wish,it'll be a reset button for his life or a painless death.
Hours passed,and it was their lunch time already. Akiyo watched as his meister(?) walked outside with Maka,holding a smile. He missed it already. He really wanted to hold her at the moment.
"Oi. Aren't you gonna eat ?" Tsubaki stood up. Akiyo shook his head. "I don't want to.." He mumbled. Tsubaki sighed. "Okay..." She replied,then left with her cocky meister.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It was already 5:00 in the afternoon. But Akiyo stayed in the room,sitting in his chair and looking straightly at the bored. He didn't want to go home,knowing memories will just flow again and make him upset.
But he still have to. So he decided to stand up and finally go home. As he walked,he noticed movements from the window. He stopped,then turned to look.
Akahana was walking out of the academy,holding a lot of papers. Schoolwork maybe. This caused Akiyo to frown. He really missed the way she talks to him before.
But the next thing surprised him. Andrei was calmly walking behind her. And as a minute passed,he saw the same pistol from that day. He was holding it and his index finger was in the trigger.
Akiyo's eyes widened. He already knew what the outcome might go.
He dropped his bag then started sprinting outside. It's already late,so he's sure that they're the only students left in the school.
He wasn't eating for the week except for biscuits,so his stamina was pretty low. He was growing tired already,but he still continued to run. If no one saves her,she'll die. And he won't ever let that happen.
He jumped in the stairs and skipped two steps at once,then went to the exit of the school. "Hang on..." He thought.
"I'd still protect you even though you hate me.."
