Chapter 8: Venting To Close Ones

Tsumugi and Shuichi sat in the cafe. Shuichi has had a lot of things on his mind with the past memories coming back to him and its been troubling him quite a bit. So he thought it'd be good to talk to his friends. Amami was traveling again but he still could talk to Tsumugi.

"So what did you want to talk to me about Shuichi?" Tsumugi asked as she took a sip of her coffee. Shuichi sighed.

"Tsumugi...do you remember Kiibo from high school?" he asked. Tsumugi smiled.

"Kiiboy? Yeah, we went to school before he moved away third year. I wonder how he's doing..." she said to herself before looking back at Shuichi "Anyways did something happen?" she asked

"Lately I've begun thinking about my memories and because of that Kiibo as well. Whenever I look at the photos of him I remember feeling like... at the beginning of my relationship with Kaede and I just don't understand why I'm feeling this way..." Shuichi said frustrated. Tsumugi took a sip of her coffee and adjusting her circular glasses.

"But didn't you use to have a crush on Kiibo? Or at least it looked like it to me. " Tsumugi tilted her head to the side, confuse. Shuichi immediately blushed and his cheeks were now the color of rosebuds.

"N-No! I mean..ugh...maybe? I don't know anymore, it's all so wrong..." Saihara let out a sigh holding his head in his hands. Tsumugi looked at him confused.

"What's wrong?" she asked looking at her friend. 

"Liking boys..." Saihara muttered quietly.

"What's wrong about it?" Tsumugi chuckled. And at that moment Shuichi realized...he didn't know how to answer that. He had always been told it was wrong by everyone and always judged by his family but nobody ever told him why. He paused unsure how to respond this friend's question. He sighed.

"I don't know...everyone in my family always told me it was wrong but I didn't know why...they said people like that were awful and despicable and you shouldn't befriend them" Shuichi said fumbling with the edge of his sleeve as he remembered his mother's harsh, rude tone and the heated conversations that came after the topic was brought up at home. Tsumugi smiled reassuringly.

"Saihara, It's not wrong to like boys that way. Whatever your family told you is wrong and you shouldn't beat yourself up like this over such a reason. And you shouldn't listen to people who are just trying to tell you who you should and shouldn't like. That is only for you to decide" she spoke, placing a hand over Shuichi's in an attempt to comfort him. Shuichi let out a sigh.

"So what am I feeling? Was I in love with Kiibo...? Was I not? And why am I feeling like this around Ouma-kun now?" he said confused. Everything about this was just so complicated. Tsumugi looked at him.

"It's not okay for me to tell you who you are Shuichi. You're gonna have to figure that out yourself. But no matter what me and Amami-kun will support you" she spoke with a soft smile. Shuichi slowly smiled back.

"Thank you Tsumugi..." he said. The blue-haired girl nodded.

"Anything for a friend"

Ouma was laying on his bed staring at the ceiling, a cat plushie in hands. Saihara-chan, Saihara-chan, and Saihara-chan. He was the only thing on his mind. Ouma squeezed the plushie tighter to his chest. This shouldn't be happening. He shouldn't have a crush on the person he's working, on a person who's in a relationship. It's wrong. It's terrible. 

Ouma groaned and covered his face with a pillow. Ouma could understand Shuichi having a good girlfriend, a woman that made him smile, which made him happy. He couldn't respect a woman that made him miserable. A woman that used him, that took advantage of him like that. He squeezed the pillow tighter to the point that if it was an alive cat Ouma would have strangled it. He sighed.
