Chapter 9: A Jokester's Past

"Eh?! Luz-san?!", Mafumafu exclaimed as the light-haired male only laughed lightly as he took a sushi and ate it like meeting each other was normal. "Ah, Mafumafu-san. Fancy meeting you here."

"Luz-san, what are you doing here?!", Mafumafu asked as the other male only continued to eat. "Well, I am here to have some dinner.", Luz answered making a face as if it was obvious.

Soraru sighed as he stood up and took Mafumafu by the wrist with him. The albino stood up as well and followed the ravenette but he stopped in his tracks when Luz started to speak up again.

"If we meet each other here again anyway, why don't we talk about Sakata?", Luz suggested as the other male widened his eyes.

His face morphed into one of terror as the light-haired male ignored that look.

"What are you—".

"Aren't you interested? About Sakata's feelings when he betrayed you? About how he became my subclass or about what his past was like?", Luz asked as Mafumafu slowly sat down again.

"Mafumafu— Nevermind...", Soraru mumbled as he sat down as well next to the albino and only continued eating his sushi and try to mind his own business while the other two were talking to each other.

"Sakata has been born in a family full of liars. The first person who has ever lied to him, was his older brother."

"Today, our father will return home, Sakata. Under no circumstances are you going to leave the room. Alright?", a taller male asked a small read-haired child as he was swinging on the swing.

"What about you, onii-chan?", the younger male asked as the older male only laughed as he stopped before he ruffled the child's hair.

"I will be fine, alright? Onii-chan is a strong person after all!", he assured the child who stayed silent for a while before nodding. "Alright... I am going to believe you.", he said as the taller male nodded satisfied.

"How much will you get if I die?", the same red-haired male from before asked his parents who gave him a reassuring smile. After they answered him and told him the sum, he only nodded.

"Don't you dare to touch Sakata and do anything to him.", he said as the said male was hiding just behind the doors, trying to not make a sound as he watched everything terrified while trying to comprehend what the hell was happening right now. "Of course.", his father assured him smiling before he lightly pushed his son from the balcony.

Sakata ran out of his hiding place as he reached his hands out to his big brother shouting his name. "Onii-chan!", Sakata shouted as the older male heard him and widened his eyes as he could feel tears welling up as well.

But before he could even say anything, he already fell from the balcony and died.

Sakata wanted to shout. But before he could even utter a word, a hand clamped over his mouth while he was being held back.

Sakata only stayed still as tears were streaming down his face from the traumatic thing he just saw. "Listen... if the police comes, you are going to tell them that onii-san died while playing with you, got it? It was all an accident and nothing more. You don't want his death to be in vain, do you?", the father asked as Sakata could only nod.

"So what happened?", a police officer asked as he kneeled down to be on the same height as Sakata. The redhead wanted to tell them the truth.
