The Voice of You and Me

5

     Time had passed since then and you had gotten closer to Fushimi and Yata as well as Aya whenever you saw her. It was today that you waited patiently in your tree for the two boys to walk by. You pulled your hood over your head as it started to sprinkle rain.

"Hey, (y/n)!" a voice shouted from below. You looked down to see Yata waving his arm while holding an umbrella with the other. With quick movements, you jumped down to the earth while splashing his jeans. He shook with surprise and you quickly tried to apologize.

"Hey, it's ok! Don't worry I'm cool with it!" he said with a smile before stepping in a puddle to splash you. You smiled then noticed he was by myself.

"Oh, I'm gonna go see Fushimi at his house. He didn't come to school today and I wanted to check on him. Wanna come?" Yata asked. You quickly nodded in agreement. He chuckled a bit at your behavior as the two of you made your way down the road. It wasn't long until you came to what looked like a mansion.

"What a big house...." Yata mumbled as you nodded. You walked up the steps then rang the doorbell. After waiting a few moments, no one answered the door. You tried knocking, but still, no one came.

"Is nobody home or what?" the redhead said. You shrugged your shoulders. He then reached for the door handle and turned it. With ease, the door opened. The two of you peeked inside and didn't see anything.

"It's exactly as Oogai said...." he mumbled as you took a few steps in. The rooms were pretty spacious especially for the fact that almost nothing was in the rooms except essentials. It was dark too.

"Um, this room....should be it," Yata explained as he led the way up the stairs. He stood before a room and knocked.

"Fushimi? Hey, you there?" he called waiting for an answer. You didn't hear a response. Yata grabbed the knob again and opened this door as well. It was quiet as it swung open wide to reveal what looked like a bedroom. Inside, there was the school uniform Yata was currently wearing and a small tv with consoles. But, the thing that stood out was the glowing green light from the bed that seemed to be sniffling. You stood and watched Yata march over to it and lift the covers.

"FUSHIMI," he said in a dark, but loud tone as he removed an earbud from Fushimi's ear. The male gave a surprised expression causing you to smile brightly as you stood by the bedside.

"Yata, (y/n), why are you here?" he asked looking between the two of you.

"The teacher forced me to bring you a print. (y/n) came along. Did you not come to school because you're sick?" Yata asked.

"Ah, not really. I'm just skipping cuz there's something I wanted to finish," he replied just before he resumed typing on the keyboard and pulled the covers over his head.

"Uah, are you a manga artist right before his deadline?!" Yata shouted while pulling the covers again. You felt your eyes widen as he continued yelling at Fushimi.

"The hell you're just skipping! Don't you have a normal cold?! You need to sleep quietly! The air's kinda bad in this room! I'll open the window for 5 minutes so cover yourself with the blanket! Looks like there's nobody here, but did you eat anything?! Did you drink enough?!"

"You sure are noisy for just one person... What are you doing? So annoying...." Fushimi mumbled as Yata calmed down.

"Geez....what was it you were so absorbed in doing anyway?" he asked.

"I was making a mailing app," he answered.

"A mailing app? Aren't there already plenty?" Yata asked.
