old hanakou story ;; 'something new'

"Amane~"

"We can just play, you know, like we used to. before you killed me?~"
"Tsukasa..? Why are you..?" Hanako didn't dare to take even the smallest glance. He knew it was his brother. "Just for a visit!~ Amane.." Hanako could feel Tsukasa's grin behind his neck, it made his skin crawl. Tsukasa cupped Hanako's cheeks with his hands. "Amanee~ don't you want to play~?" Tsukasa cooed, still grinning. Even the smallest touch from his brother made Hanako tremble from head to toe.  "I mean.. You do realize after that girl's death, the boy will be traumatized and go off, " he giggled, "you'll be all alone!"  Hanako didn't say anything.  "What?~ Cat got your tongue?~" Tsukasa felt a tear run down Hanako's cheek, making him grin more. "Don't cry..~" Tsukasa purred, now hugging Hanako from behind. "Hanako..." Tsukasa insisted. "..w..hat?.." he had a quaver in his voice, a knot building up in his throat. "why did you kill me?"  Hanako didn't reply. His body continued to tremble. He couldn't say anything. He couldn't do anything. He could barely even breathe. Tsukasa paused for a second, to appreciate the look on Amane's face. He loved it.

A minute passes, and Tsukasa frowns, "I have to go.~ see you soon, Amane.~" Tsukasa disappeared, leaving Hanako to fall to his knees, shaking.

Next Day

Yashiro and Kou made their way to the girls' bathroom, but Hanako wasn't there. They then checked the roof, to find him sitting there, on his knees. "Hanako??" Kou ran to him, kneeling. "What happened?"  Hanako didn't talk for a second. It was sort of like the time Tsukasa appeared in front of Yashiro and him. "Hanako was--" Yashiro started off saying, but Hanako cut her off. "Don't you guys have class right now?" he smiled as he turned towards them, but his smile didn't really convince Kou as it was supposed to, for both of them. "yes... But we wanted to say hi to you!" Yashiro smiled. Kou forced a smile. He was concerned, because even behind that smile, he looked traumatized. "We should be going now, the bell's about to ring. See you later, Hanako!" Kou grabbed Yashiro's wrist and walked away, waving at Hanako. Once they got far away, Kou looked at Yashiro, "What were you going to ask him before he cut you off?"  "hm? nothing!"  ... 'RING RING'
Yashiro ran off, going downstairs, he could hear the clacking of her shoes as she ran down the crowded halls. He followed her down, walking the opposite hallway to get to his class. He felt suspicious.

An hour later, Kou comes to the bathroom first, to find Hanako sitting on the windowsill. "Hanako.. what was she going to say earlier, before you cut her off?" ... "Nothing,". "Was it about that boy?" Hanako glanced over at Kou, "..what boy?"  "The one that turned Mitsuba into —..." Hanako didn't reply. The tall boy was about to say something but Yashiro walked in. "Hey, Yashiro!" Hanako smiled, jumping from the windowsill. "Hey Hanako-kun! Hey Kou-kun! I was thinking maybe we could hang out on the roof again, like last night? I enjoyed us spending time like that!" Yashiro smiled sweetly. Hanako returned a smile, "Sounds great." Yashiro looked at Kou for his opinion, who nodded, as if he was saying the same.
'RING RING.'
"I'd better get going! I'll see you guys later!" Hanako turned towards her, "Bye Yashiro!" he smiled. Kou had time, and he was still concerned about this morning.
Once Yashiro left, he turned towards Hanako. "Hanako.. was it that boy?" Hanako froze, "What boy?" Kou frowned and placed a hand on his shoulder, "you know what boy I'm talking about. ... please.." he placed his other hand on the other, "please tell the truth?" Kou tried to convince Hanako by pleading, and it worked. He couldn't resist the way the taller boy was acting. ".it was ... after you left, he appeared behind me...." he seemed to tremble thinking about it. Kou wrapped his arms around Hanako's small figure, squeezing him tight. He froze before hugging him back. "It's alright.." Kou cooed softly in Hanako's ear. He didn't want him shaking like that.. it worried him.
After a few minutes, Hanako felt good, he felt better. The boy... calmed him... and he didn't know why. He didn't want to let go, neither did Kou, but he had to. "I have to get to class before I'm a minute later. Bye, Hanako." Kou grabbed his bag, smiled and walked out, his shoes clicking on the floor of the halls as he walked.

Hanako walked from the bathroom to the hall, heading for Yashiro's class. He was bored and easily knew what to do to keep him entertained.  Once he reached her classroom, he went through the walls to behind her desk. He stayed quiet for a few minutes before, "Yashiro...~" he whispered softly into her ear. That definitely startled her, even though he's done it before. She squealed and jumped out of her seat, catching everyone's attention.
