Cafe Boy [Mashikyu Fanfiction]

Chapter 5

It was a bright and sunny Saturday morning. Mashiho stared at his ceiling, spacing out, letting his mind take him, wherever he landed on. Until he eventually remembered Junkyu.

"The stupid cafe boy."

"Who the hell would come and talk to me and say that they like me? It's impossible."

"I mean, at least he's a nice guy. He's just too annoying."

"Or is it me? I don't know. I don't do friendships."

"I don't know anymore." A sigh left his mouth.

Mashiho shook his head, then went off his bed to go downstairs to the kitchen. His stomach was growling for food.

Before he went to the kitchen, he stopped by the window and looked outside as he stretched all of his limbs off.

Just as he was about to go through the kitchen door, he heard a knock from the main door.

"But no one even comes to this house.."

He carefully and slowly pulled the door open, and instantly regretted the decision.

"Morning! Have you eaten yet? I brought some food." The boy said as his bright smile showed.

Mashiho ate every crumb of his breakfast sandwich as Junkyu watched in awe.

"What? Is something wrong?"

"I didn't know you could eat two breakfast sandwiches, and drink a whole cup of coffee too."

"You telling me I'm fat?"

"Not at all!"

The other boy continued finishing his plate as Junkyu took a deep breath.

"Thanks.... for the food. I appreciate it."

Junkyu smiled. "No problem! The cafe I work at has some good food."

"What do you wanna do today?"

Mashiho looked at him, his eyes blank but displaying confusion.

"You're not leaving yet?"

"Why would I leave? We're neighbors, we should hang out!"

After hours of video games, movies, and snacks, Mashiho and Junkyu went outside to walk to the playground.

It was 4:30 in the afternoon, the sun was starting to set, the skies were bright orange, and the two of them walked peacefully as they listened to the birds chirp and the wind blow.

They found themselves sitting down on one of the benches that overlooked the whole playground. Nobody else but the two of them occupied the place.

Looking up at the sky, the atmosphere was suddenly quiet. Nobody was talking. But it felt calm. Tranquil. Relaxing.

They had their knees brought up to their chests as they hugged their legs.

Junkyu looked over to Mashiho, who was busy watching the trees sway and dance from the wind.

"Hey Mashiho?"

The said boy looked over to Junkyu. His face showed an annoyed expression. As he was disturbed from watching the trees' dance show.

"What do you want?"

"Uhm... nevermind. It's nothing.

Junkyu stared up at the sky again.

Then he looked at Mashiho once more.

"Mashiho-"

"What? You're annoying me-"

"I like you."

Mashiho's face turned into almost an angry little rabbit. "You've told me that a million times already. I get it. Now stop disturbing me on my peaceful and quiet ti-"

"No."

"Excuse me?" The boy looked offended.

"No. Wait.. uhhh"

"I meant.... I like you."

"You know. The more than..... friends kind of like."

Mashiho sat still. His eyes stared wide and blank at the latter.

"What?"

"I like you, Mashiho."

"You're super adorable. It's weird but, I like it when I get to be with you."

"I don't know much about you. But I just feel like I need you with me. And I feel like you need me with you."
