Something more (Soramafu & Urasaka)

Chapter 38

"E-E-Eh?" The stuttering and shaken albino managed to croak out as he stared at the redhead with wide eyes.

"W-What?"

"What do you mean!?" Kashitarou shouted in disbelief as he immediately stood up from his seat.

He looked at Sakata, waiting for his answer. T-There's n-no way that.....

"I saw a note niichan left...."

The guys looked down to notice that the redhead was holding the note in his hands. Urata let go of the comforting hug to grab the note. He read it out loud for everyone in the room to hear.

Sorry Sakata but I'll be leaving. If you want to know where, it's the college I plan on going. I know you all didn't like the idea but I just couldn't really give it up. You have Urata and the others with you now so you're not alone anymore. You probably hate me now, I mean I'm such a terrible brother but, please take care. I love you. Sayonara.

P.s. I guess I should mention that I never hated Urata. I'm happy that he became your boyfriend and I'm happy to have meet the others. Tell the others I said bye.

The room was silent as the words left on the note entered their minds. Urata was probably the most shocked at the note, h-he didn't call me t-tanuki. He stared at the note in his hands with a disbelieved look. He didn't say anything bad about us, no trace of hatred or malice. Urata was going to punch the raven-haired male but now felt like he was the one being punched in the stomach.

Mafu's eyes began to water again, Soraru, he..... The others just looked down, they don't know what to say at all. The atmosphere around them was filled with sadness and distraught. No one even bothered to move as they stayed still in their spots.

"G-Guess that's it then." Kashitarou said, he didn't want to believe that his best friend, his childhood friend, had left them.

"W-We did say we'd be happy for him, didn't we?" Amatsuki hesitantly said as he remembered their encouragement for the older. A-Ah, if anything we kinda lied to him by saying we'd support him no matter what.

"Yeah....." Shima said as he recalled how they were happy for him.

"It's his choice, nothing we can do about it." Senra said as they all sat in silence.

"Mafu?"

"I-It's f-fine. S-Soraru has no feelings for me, I'll f-f-f-find s-s-s-someone e-e-els—"

Mafu's shaken voice had been cut off by the sudden knock on his door. Sakata went to open it, only to see a concerned, sadly smiling Lon accompanied by someone. They were surprised to see it was Kana that came with her.

The dark-haired girl had a neutral expression on her face as she looked at them. Does she ever wear any other expression? Urata sarcastically thought as they looked at Lon questionably.

"Ah, I had a feeling you'd all be here together."

Lon smiled at them. Sakata blinked his tears away as he questioned Lon's sudden presence.

"W-Why are you here Lon?"

"Was wondering where Soraru is." Lon said, I have a clue but I just want them to confirm it.

"He left to go to the college he planned to attend." Shima said to the blonde girl, who sighed. So I was right.

"And you guys aren't going to do anything?" She looked at them as they all looked down.

"There's nothing to do, he decided to ditch us to follow his career." Urata's tone was dripped with sharpness as Lon looked at them with confused eyes.
