Draken suddenly stopped with what he's doing. "What?"he went to Takemichi's side. "Did he say anything else?"he ask.

"No?? He kind of just run off. Why? Do you know him?"

Draken sighs. "What's your name?"

"Eh? What's with the sudden question? Don't you know my name already?"Takemichi questioned. He didn't get any reply from his friend. "Takemichi Sano."

║▌│█║▌│ █║▌│█│║▌║

Takemichi look as if he's about to cry. Everytime he spend time with his friends, they always ask him the same question.

"What's your name?"

He doesn't get it. Whether it is Chifuyu, Baji or Mitsuya, they all ask him the same questions again and again. Even his own brothers, Shinichiro and Izana, and his sister, Emma, always ask him that question.

Is he really that insignificant for them to always forgot his name? But, they wouldn't bother being with him and asking him if they are such heartless peoples.

Although he does know that there might be reason behind their every action, tears still stream down to his face. After hours of overthinking, he fell to a deep slumber.

"It's been awhile, Mikey"Draken greeted.

Mikey looked up. "Ken-chin."

Draken sits infront of the other. "Have you ordered already?"he ask.

"No, there's no need. I'm not hungry"Mikey answers.

Draken laughed for a bit. "That's really hilarious, especially that it is coming from a guy like you." He immediately got a glare.

"Boo. Same as always, I see"Mikey tried mocking his friend.

Draken raised his eyebrow. "Ironic"he retorted. "Go on and order a meal. Also, you pay for it or I'll seriously beat you"he threatened.

"Boo"once again, Mikey mocked his friend. He rolled his eyes at him before deciding to actually order already.

As their meal arrive, Mikey payed for his and his company's food, earning an actual surprised look from his friend, as if he hadn't done it once in his life.. it really is the first time.

"I feel offended."

"Nah, you don't have the right"Draken pour more salt in the wound.

║▌│█║▌│ █║▌│█│║▌║

"Good evening, Ryu"Takemichi greeted the other line. "How are you? I went to your shop this morning but Shin told me you attended an important business"he question.

"I'm fine. Shinichiro probably didn't understand what I said, I just went out with a close friend"he explained.

"Oh"Takemichi mouthed. "I didn't knew you have another close friend"he said almost in a whisper.

"Sorry. I'll tell you about him in the future, he's just a busy guy so we didn't got to meet very often and so I don't have time to introduce you to each other"Draken muttered.

"You really don't have to"he murmured. "Anyways, I just called to know if you're okay. I'll have to go now, I still have class tomorrow"he hung up without even waiting for the other's reply.

Takemichi once again lied on his bed. How much do they trust him? Ah ah no good. He really never know them anyways so there's no point of getting attached. He barely know anything about them and vice versa. He never opened up because he's scared. He doesn't want anyone to find out about this side of him and any other more sides. He'll just stay rounded, repeating everything again and again. (laughing bc that's so intentional lmfao)

Chifuyu sighed. "Baji come out already or I'll share the Yakisoba with Kazutora instead"he threatened. But instead of getting the answer he's thinking of, he got the total opposite.

"Go on and do it! Ugly bastards hmpf"Baji shouted from inside his room, not being successfully bribed.

Takemichi, who happen to visit his friends home, can only smile awkwardly. He thought how a lot of weird things sure does happen lately and his friends are changing. Everything is so unreal.

"What happened?"the visitor finally let his curiosity win.

"The thing is,"Chifuyu looked at Kazutora and scratched his head. "we accidentally sold his pet. A customer took an interest on the cat and immediately wanted to buy it, because it was included with the animals and still has the price tag on the cage, we agreed"he told the story, almost crying.

Kazutora doesn't seem to give a shit. "He's dumb"he mocked.

Now, even these two is changing. What has the world became of?

"Goodbye and thank you everyone, see you next week"Takemichi bid goodbye to his adorable students.

"Goooodddbyyeee andd thaaannkkkk yoouuuu Mr. Haaannaaaagaaakiiii"the children all bid their goodbye too.

They form a line, starting from the girls, everyone walked out, kissing the cheek or hugging their teacher before going out.

"Take care!"

After awhile, only the male teacher is left. He went to his desk to organize his things. He then picked up the broom and swept the floor of the classroom. He also arranged the chairs before finally going out.

Arriving at the school gate, his gaze landed on a familiar guy. This time, he's wearing a white long sleeve and black pants, part of his clothes were unbutton, letting his chest be expose.

Takemichi didn't pay much attention to him, thinking that it must be just a coincidence and the person is waiting to pick up one of the students. However, before he can move from his current position, the person already started walking right where he is while waving.

"Takemitchi~♡"the guy called him sweetly.

He's wondering how did the guy seemed to have known his name, he isn't quite sure as he actually pronounced it wrongly. He did hear the person call him before, this is actually the second time. He look to have changed from the last time they saw each other, he's dull last time and he's more like a flower that finally have been shone by the sun. He don't know but he feels something about what the guy just called him.

Author's corner:D
This was supposed to be a one shot but I ran out of idea and still wanted to publish it. This would probably have a part 2 in a month or two because I've been busy with school too so I really can't write much. The only stories I write are the one's we pass at school(its so hard writing filipino stories bro)

You've reached the end of published parts.
