Sky Garden (Soraru x Lon)

Similar

“... Sometimes.. I just want to commit suicide.”

Lon didn’t know how to help, but smiled with an emphaty. In front of her, now, there was a man who sat and put his glass down. Rambling about his life in drunkness. It wasn’t a first time. Soraru, what he introduced himself, always do it every night in this bar. Because of that, Lon felt kind of used to it. But she couldn’t deceive herself, there was aches inside her chest everytime the sad words which be heard.

Night by night, everything which be told by Soraru would be worse than before. The main problem was something that happens in his work which is so hectic. With a bunch of works, short time until the deadline and a disgusting manager. So, Lon wasn’t suprised with Soraru’s words. He might be so tired.

Unfortunately, Lon couldn’t help alot. All that she could do was hearing Soraru ramble all night long. Replying a little bit if she could. She had no power after all.

“I’m sorry to hear that, Soraru-san.” Just that words could be told. Even though Soraru had been told all of his problems, but it didn’t make Lon knows how to deal with it. Seeing that man brought his empty glass closer to her, an obvious gesture, she poured alcohol in Soraru’s glass again. A smile was still lingering on her face. “But your family will be sad if you do it, right?”

Soraru gulped his alcohol, sighing with a frown on his brow. The glass was being put down rougher. Making a loud sound on the table. Lon flinched with that sudden action and felt guilty, thinking that she made Soraru angry.

“Soraru-san, I’m so–”

“You’re right, Lon-san.” Lon didn’t expect that reply, which cut his words off. And also, Soraru’s voice sounded so gentle and calm. It was her first time for hearing that man talked with this voice. In Lon’s mind, Soraru would be angry and start shouting, but he didn’t. She felt safe by knowing the fact and waited Soraru’s next words. “My family still love me... I’m glad to know that. Thank you.. for reminding me about it, Lon-san.”

Softly, Lon smiled without an emphaty but warmth. She couldn’t believe someone who drunk could be as mature as this and be thankful with her simple words. But the fact couldn’t be denied. Beside of that, she also felt happy with those kind words. Even when Lon didn’t help alot, Soraru could still say those kind of words.

It made Lon forgets the previous aches in her chest.

“You’re welcome, Soraru-san. I’m glad, too.”

Soraru didn’t reply, continuing drink his alcohol. Lon just watched all of his gestures. And starting a new conversation again, the last thing which she could do. “It’s your fifth glass and you already drunk, Soraru-san. You know that you should stop drinking now or you will hate yourself in the morning.”

Just as what Lon said, Soraru stopped drinking after took the last gulp of his alcohol. He carved a thin smile. It was one of the reasons why he liked this place, especially Lon as the barista. She would always remind him to stop drinking, so he wouldn’t cross the line. Even though he came here to forget his work with alcohol, but Lon’s appearance also help him with that simple attention. So there wasn’t the reason to make himself drunk more than it.

“Okay. Thank you again, Lon-san.”

“No problem, Soraru-san.”

A warm smile was still carving on Lon’s face. It would always be ended like this. Night by night. Sharing the warmth unconsciously to each other, even though Soraru was so messy with all of his problem. But, they were glad to talk like this. The man one had someone for sharing. And the woman one had no problem with it.
