Our Light

Chapter 1

It was another day like yesterday, same old borning lecture and same old two notebooks he had, having to write his notes down alongside Daichi because once again the other decided to fall asleep in class. It always seemed to end up like this; one moment he would be awake and the next he would be having his head down and his hood up. Eisuke didn't mind the first time, but now he was just irritated.

Shaking the other awake forcefully, he closed both the notebooks before staring. "Daichi." He hissed almost, "This is the fifth time you've fallen asleep in class." The older said as the other rose awake. "What is getting into you? You never fell asleep before and never missed this many times." He said almost sounding like a strict parent. "If you keep this up, Headmistress won't hesitate to expell you."

Being pushed a bit by the other male, Daichi slowly raises his head, his drooping ears twitching with a small jingle to them as he makes eye contact with Eisuke for the first time today since class began. His eyes hooded, he eyes the taller male with a soft sigh, letting him ramble before letting out a small giggle. "Are you done yet, Kōhai?"

A gentle smile pulls up on his lips as he sits up, stretching as he winces at a pain in his ass, trying to not make it seem like a big deal. "Work has me up late... I need the money for food and other things. Just because I live out in the woods, doesn't mean I can get all the necessities." Daichi rambles before looking down at his notebook, seeing that some notes were taken, sighing softly. "What did I tell you about doing my work for me?"

Eisuke lightly glared at the other when they said that damn nickname all cute like. "Aish! You're lucky are my friend or else I wouldn't care what would happen to you." He mumbles, giving a small eye roll before looking away; and he surely did mean it. Leaning up, he lightly tugged the others ear sternly. "Keep it up and you'll be in trouble. You know I'm worse than headmistress." He said before letting go and stood up packing his bags to leave to his next class.

"If work is that bad, ask them for some nights off. I tell you everyday if you need help, come and talk to me, but no. You, of course, want to do things on your own and not accept help from anyone. I also say all the time, if you want to start staying at my place on the weekdays, you can. See all your resources?" He asks, crossing his arms. Eisuke managed to convince his parents awhile back he needed his own house and needed his things payed for quickly in order to stay in the school. It wasn't true at all, but now he has a house being payed for along with other things and all he needed to do was keep his grades decent and have a stable job, just incase. When Daichi mentioned about him doing his work for him, he felt a small pout come on his lip. "You know I would do it for you Daichi. You missed a whole new lesson today. Besides, you know you like my notes better."

Daichi nods slowly in agreement at the notes comment, letting pretty much everything else fly over his head when he gets a call on a small disposable phone that was given to him by his job. Quickly answering, the smaller male began to nod, writing down some notes on his arm before hanging up; the usual routine.

"One class left... then I'm off to work." He smirks, stretching as he shirt lifts a bit, some marks showing before he puts his arms down and packs up his things. "I'll talk to you after school for a few minutes, but that's all I can give you. They really need me in tonight." Not really looking over his arm notes, Daichi rushes off to his next class, his satchel bag bouncing off his hips as he goes.

Eisuke lightly sighed and stared down at the others arm, trying to get an idea of where the other work and why they needed him so early. He didn't let it go unnoticed that he saw the marks and that he may or may not have saw what was written on his arm, but he shook it off and just lightly shook his head. "Your job seems demanding, maybe you should...." He trailed off once he saw Daichi leave the room and finished his sentence. "quit..." With another sigh, and a loud groan, he left the classroom and made his was to his last class. Luckily it was his favorite, so his mind was able to wander off from their conversation.

When the bell rang, he rushed out towards his locker and replaced his books he didn't need with the ones he did. Eisuke then went out to the front of the school to wait for Daichi. Upon seeing him, he waved lightly before he spoke. "So, where exactly do you work again?" He asked, staring at the marks.

Happy that his last class was outside, and that he didn't have to do anything but mediation, Daichi rests a bit more for his final period, his body resting up a bit from the night before. Hearing the bell from inside, the boy wakes, rushing to his locker before putting his unneeded items away, going to the front where he hears Eisuke and sees him waving.

"I work at a place, that's all you need to know." Daichi murmurs, not too proud of his job, nor knowing what could happen to him if he kept working there. He didn't know much about his customer tonight, but he did know that the male would be in a group and that he was supposed to entertain them as a whole.

Eisuke stared before crossing his arms, getting slightly irritated with the other. "When have we ever kept secrets from each other?" He said, upset at the other. Eisuke, out of the two, was by far the most emotional one there was. When something so small and little happened, Eisuke would end up upset and usually it resulted in him having to go home and eat away his feelings.

When he knew he wouldn't get a straight answer from Daichi, he shook his head and gave him a quick answer. "Have a good night Daichi." Before turning and heading home, he was glad that at least tonight he would be able to go out with some of his friends from school at a well known strip club and let loose for a bit. He was still angry at Daichi. So angry that he didn't message him when he got home like he always did and didn't check up on him. They never kept secrets from one another and here they were, doing exactly that.

With a small sigh, the male heads home, getting dressed in a pretty seductive way before checking his phone, frowning. "Nothing from him... I-It's not that I don't want to tell him..." Daichi covers up with a jacket before grabbing his keys and heading out, going straight to the club.
