FIVE | Cherry Gummies

I walked out of the door hesitantly, scanning the area for the dark haired male. Soon my eyes were met by a familiar gaze, some aqua eyes. I sighed as you had no escape now. I made a distance and he looked away from my face as if he sensed the tension. Mentally thanking him for reliving the awkward situation I were in at the moment.

"What do you want." I said firmly narrowing my gaze. He looked at me seriously making me take a small step back. "I was a dumbass and I just came to say sorry." He slid his hat over his face and his ears turned pink. I'm happy that he apologized. "You can stay if you want just come to my room," I told him. I looked over at him and he was coming over to my room.

He steeped in awkwardly and I couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you hot? You always wear the same school uniform." I mentioned. He just looked at me with his classic stoic expression. He eyes me with so much emotion filled in his eyes, his face showing up with none. He sat next to me and said, "Do you have any plans for the weekend?" We can go to the beach tomorrow if you want." He said staring dead in my eyes.

I couldn't help but to break in a cold sweat as his eyes were locked in mine, "Oh um, sorry I can't." I said hesitantly. "Hey I got to go." He said abruptly. I sighed and we slipped out of the doorway into the rest of the house. I heard his rough steps walk towards the front door and open it and close.

I sighed and eyed my electric guitar that had been in my room. I picked it up and it was a brown with red outlining it on the outside. I had Nirvana stickers on it and an amplifier I turned on. It gave me nostalgia of when I used to play it nonstop but then I took a break on it because my old band fell apart when we started our sophomore year of high school. I had named my guitar Memoria.

It was dusty and rough. I amped the guitar to a high setting and blasted some chords. It was out of tune so I picked up my tuner and started tuning it. I started strumming and began singing.

"Come as you are, as you were..." I sang.

"As I want you to be, As a friend, as a friend,"

"As a known enemy..."

I played my guitar to kind of cope or whatever. Mostly for fun though.

"And I swear that I don't have a gun, no I don't have a gun, no I don't have a gun, no I don't have a gun, no I don't have a gun..."

I heard my mother's laugh and sigh. "You know your talent is amazing, I love to listen to you." I smiled widely and turned off my amplifier. "Thank you, I haven't done this in a long time." I sighed and flopped my body onto the bed. My mother walked out of the room into the hallway, "Maybe you should do this more often I miss it." I smirked and pulled into the sheets.

I rolled over on the bed and decided that I needed some snacks, since we were running out. I made a mental note to myself to buy the cherry gummies that Kakyoin liked. I lazily got out of bed and walked I've to the front door. I slyly opened it and slipped outside and walked to the nearest convenience store to buy them.

When I was approaching it I eyed the gummies I could see from the windows. I walked inside bell ringing when I entered. There were only a few people there and I walked to the candy aisle. When I got there I was about to grab the gummies, but o felt a hand grasp mine. I jerked up to see a man with cherry colored hair and violet eyes. My jaw dropped and I could see his do the same.

"Kakyoin...?" I muttered. "Y/n, is that you?" He looked at me in disbelief. Before he could say anything I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him into a tight embrace. He hugged back and for a second we just took time to process what was happening. "What happened? I though you died..." I was trying to hold back tears. "Well, they took me to the hospital and I had a surgery that was very risky, and a few more surgeries after, but I was okay in the end, and I survived, just barely."
