Takade's voice faded every second as I pulled Aito along and ran out farther out from the house into the quiet neighbourhood while the cold wind brushed onto both of our faces.
When we were out of sight from Takade's house,i pulled Aito in a corner and blurted what I've seen and asked if he knew this.
"W-well..um.." he stuttered while scratching his head. I continued shaking him for answers.
"S-stop shaking me idiot!" He whispered irritatingly. I let go my grip from Aito,expecting him to speak any moment. He took in a deep breath and prepared himself.
"Yes. I knew that."
"W-what?!" I took a step back,just for safety.
"Do you want to know how..?" Aito scratched his head again. I nodded.
"Okay..well,last time,Takade has no friends and he was always alone. I don't know why but I'm always the popular one,even though I'm being anti-social. One day,when we two were assigned into one group,we was supposed to do a project like you so i went to Takade's house. When i saw the same room you had just saw just now,i was abit..different. Takade was behind me and realised that I've saw his dead mother's body and crawled into a corner and curled in a ball,telling me to not tell the police and was afraid of being judged. I then told him that i wont tell anyone and so he gained trust from me,telling me a brief explaination of what happened and we became best friends."
"Weren't you scared of him killing you?" I asked.
"Actually,no. If he did,he would have no friends so being alone is worst than having just 1 friend,right? So i trust him. Whatever he did,I wouldn't really care about his personal life anyway and why am i even telling you this?" Aito shrugged.
"Never mind about that. Why did he kill his mother?" I changed the subject quickly.
"I don't really know the exact details. You should ask him yourself."
I tugged at Aito's shirt and looked into his brown hazelnut soft eyes. He sighed and reassured me that Takade is not a scary person.
"Aito,did you know that sometimes you are so nice? That's why you have fan clubs.." I giggled impromptu.
"S-shut up idiot!" Aito cheeks reddened like a red tomato and tried to cover up his embarrassment.
I stared at Aito's embarrassed face. I took a more closer look and realised something. He is cute and handsome. No wonder he have fan girls and fan clubs..he's so cute! I want to cuddle him right no- what am i even thinking? Aito is a cold and mean person! I can't possibly have a crush on him,right? I mean.. I shook my head vigorously and smacked myself from thinking those thoughts out of nowhere.
Aito folded his arms while his back is facing me and questioned,"Are you coming with me?"
"To where exactly?" I asked,still remaining in my same position. Urghh..stop thinking dirty thoughts (Y/N)!
"We are going back to Takade's house. You need to apologise to him for running away so suddenly and tell him everything you've seen." Aito sighed,turning his head towards me with a serious expression. "For others seeing that kind of stuff that he doesn't want people to know bothers him,you know."
I shifted my gaze while considering carefully and obediently followed the black haired male's order. While I was walk behind Aito,I glanced up at saw his back in front of me. He looks pretty tall. I'm kinda jealous. Why am i such a shorty? This is bothering me too much!! I quietly sulked about the difference between Aito's height and mine. Dammit..
When we reached Takade's house,I nervously walked in there with Aito. Takade was tapping his foot impatiently and when he saw me,he suddenly stood up and grab both of my shoulders and shook me.
"Tell me! What did you saw just now?!" He screamed. Aito went and hold Takade's shoulder to calm him down.
Takade released me from his grip and relaxed his nerves. "(Y/N),please tell me what you've seen just now." He soften his voice and calmed his composure.
"I-i went into a room and s-saw a dead body.." I stuttered and shivered at the thought of it. Takade sighed and sat on the sofa.
"Yes..from what you've heard is true. I killed my own mother due to pressure.." He poured a glass of water and drank from it.
"If you want to know why I killed her,its because she mentally and physically abused me from when I'm young till when I've grown up due to pleasure and entertainment." I nodded,allowing him to continue and he put down his glass of water.
"She abused me by hitting me like how police caned prisoners. She treated me like pests and most of the times lock me in my room and left me to starve continuously on most of the days. Even if I had to go to school and was locked up,she would ignore me.."
I started to feel sorry for Takade as he continued his past.
"Every time,my mother would stay up late drinking with men that I don't know. Sometimes she invited them to our house a-and had sex with t-them..but of course..my mother and father divorced when I was young but,I should have gone with my father instead.." Takade was on a near brink of tears as he gulped and continued,immersing himself with his past again.
"I have a older sister..but she suggested me to go with my mother instead of my father. She always insults me. I hate her..if you are wondering,my older sister is now working in our school. She is the school nurse. I hate her." He clenched his fists into a ball tightly.
"I-i really can't take it anymore..my mother treated me like pests,treating a dog better than me..she even tried to burn me with fire before! I can't hold in my anger..so I stabbed her. I was pressured and my grades went down...it was all her fault! S-she threatened me when i stabbed her so i-i..I cut her limbs off with a large sharp knife from the kitchen..a-all that b-blood..the c-cracking of her bones...the f-flesh.." Tears started coursing down Takade's cheeks.
"It was all my fault! I know that! I have no friends! My friends left me! No one is on my side! No one is there for me! I know that.." He started to wail uncontrollably as he covered his ears. It seems like he's actually talking to someone but...
I went over beside Takade and hugged him tightly,patting him on his head. "Shhh..don't cry,okay? It's not your fault. Your mother is to blame. She deserves it for not treating her son properly..shhh..don't cry now..." (everyone would be like oh nawh this would be a bad ><)
"T-thanks (Y/N).." He sniffed.
"Hey hey! I'm your friend and is on your side. Don't forget that idiot." Aito crossed his arms and scolded him.
"Thanks Aito,(Y/N)..I'll appreciate your concern and support..! Without you two,I don't even think that I'll still be alive.." Takade smiled with tears all over his reddened face.
I squeezed Takade's hand.
"(Y/N),it's funny how I met you in two days and I've already fallen for you.." Takade grinned foolishly towards me.
Aito and me gasped in shock,and I was on a loss of words.
"Dude,Takade,are you serious?!" Aito widened his eyes like saucepans.
Takade blushed furiously and nodded quickly without looking at Aito in his eyes. I released him from my hug and distanced myself from Takade on the couch.
"Um w-well,s-shall we finish this stupid project already?" I muttered awkwardly while my whole face blushed.
"Yeah.." Takade curved his lips upwards and opened his laptop to finish the project assigned to the pair.
Aito sniggered in jealousness as he knew that he wouldn't have a chance with me due to the confession from his best friend and curled his lips in distaste. Are you freaking kidding me?!
