Natsuki x (Y/N): Shadows of the Past {Remastered}

Chapter 10: Brothers and Desperation

Your POV
Nothing out of the ordinary has been happening by far, except for the fact that William is upset, after told him two days ago about how the school is asking for his help, he was pretty angry, kept on babbling about how they shouldn't rely so much on one person, I don't disagree there but it was the school, not me.
I woke up today feeling a little bit odd but that wasn't gonna stop me from heading to school yet again, but before I could make my way out of the door, William called me out.
"Huh?, what's up?" I told him, "I, uh, I realized, I haven't really done much for you in a while and, I feel like perhaps, it's time you and me spend some moments, bro to bro you know"
"Are you okay?, did you hit your head?, is the world coming to an end?"
"No, no and No, I'm actually not feeling so well, my throat has been killing me since last night" he said
He always spoke normal if something serious or bad happen, and out of all the times he spoke like that again, which have been in recent days, he finally paid the price for his optimism, I knew it was gonna come back to bite him in the ass one day, I told him and today was that day all right, he's not wrong about us spending some time bro to bro though, in fact, when was the last time we ever really spoke by ourselves, I guess we can plan that after I'm out of school and club, "All right, since it's been a while we could plan something, maybe once I'm out-", "No, right now" Right now?, he's kidding right?, "R-right now?, but, I've got school"

"Ditch it" he said

Ditch it?, Ditch School?, can I really afford that?
"You can't be serious", "I am serious, my form of speaking should be your only evidence of how serious I am" he's not wrong there, but then again, his throat is finally killing him after all these years of putting his vocal cords to their limits, it's weird how it's today when he's finally hurting for his optimism but speaking honestly, I don't really care, he kinda brought it on himself in the first place, but why now for a get together all of a sudden?, yet like I said, it has been too long since either of us talked to each other normally, as brother to brother instead of pessimist to optimist.

"*sigh*, well, it is Friday, I guess one day without school couldn't hurt, I'll go get changed but just where are we going?"
"Where else?, to Akihabara"  Oh, I see what he's going with this, he might end up regretting it.
It took a few minutes to get changed again and once I finished, Will and I headed out, "let me guess, Mum doesn't know you're doing this does she?", "No, she doesn't" I get the feeling I should've expected that one, still, I hope everything is okay.

Natsuki's POV
Mornings are always the worst, from nightmares to boring old people giving boring lectures, "*sigh*, why do I gotta put up with all this?, at least it's Friday, and yesterday was also fun too, and the day before too, I can't stop thinking about it and I don't think I want to stop either"
Regardless, I can't wait for Club time, reading some more manga with (Y/N), why does that feel so blissful?, it made my chest tighten a little, it's weird since I usually just try to push people away but, he's different...
Time went by us and while making my way to the literature club, I was called over by someone, and it turned out to be the one person I'd hoped I could forget about..
"Hey, Nat, long time no see!"
"Hagakure..., what do you want?"
"Don't be so cold, I was just hoping we could talk you know"
"Sorry, but I've got club, maybe some other time"
After I said that, I walked out the classroom we were in and made my way to club-
"Or maybe, in never, is what you want to say"
I turned around and felt a little freaked out he knew my intention
"Nat, let's face it, we were together for just 2 years but, that was plenty of time for me to get to know you completely and besides, if you're looking for the outsider, he didn't even come to school today"
That really ticks me off, how could he be such a jerk about someone who used to be his friend?, (Y/N) never did anything to him!
"He's not an outsider, he's a friend!" I said raising my voice a little
