━━━━━━━☆☆━━━━━━━
A huff leaves Hana's and Mafuyu's mouth as the take sips from their waters.
Everyone else also panting and taking a quick break.
Neither Mafuyu or Hana have written anything yet. And time was running short.
But Hana just couldn't.
How could she?
How could she express this?
"Hana? Mafuyu? Are you guys actually practicing?"
The sudden outburst coming from Uenoyama.
"Hey whoa-"
"Like what the hell was that!"
Haruki stands up quick and goes in between Uenoyama and the two very shocked teens.
"Are you serious about this or not!?"
"I-I am"
Was all Hana could say to the now raging teen before her.
"Okay cut it out Uenoyama! Relax"
"Huh? You haven't improved at all! And keep making the same mistakes!"
Hana wanted to speak up.
But the more he spoke.
The smaller she felt.
"Your use-"
"Stop! Ue!"
Haruki put his hands over the boys mouth before he could finish anymore of his words.
"Don't just go off without letting him respond! Don't corner her like that! Besides you've been weird lately too!"
Before anything else was said kaji clapped his hands together and told everyone to call it a night.
"If this goes any further, our bands going to fall apart."
Hana leans down and grabs her case.
Leaving the room without a word.
They call after her.
Except Uenoyama.
He couldn't shake his weird feeling.
The feeling that was making him like this in the first place.
━━━━━━━☆☆━━━━━━━
After her lifeless hands close the door behind her she wilts.
The things holding her up no longer doing that.
Her heart cracking.
Pieces scattering as she walked from the front door to her bed.
Dropping her case on the bed.
Everything was filling up within her.
She was choking on it all.
Not being able to breathe anymore.
Suffering
Reaching out for a hand she couldn't hold.
Her hand grabs the nearest thing.
Slamming it against the floor.
Watching it scatter into pieces just like her heart was.
She couldn't hold it.
She threw anything she could.
Making the once put together room
into a mess.
She toppled her book shelf to the ground.
Smashed any glass against the walls.
Anything that made her feel any kind of relief.
She grabbed her books
Ripping all the pages
Not flinching at the paper cuts she started to receive.
Croaks left the small girls throat.
As she tried to keep her self sane.
Keep herself grounded.
But she kept sinking deeper.
Deeper in these emotions she couldn't control.
She threw the book away.
Throwing everything off her bed.
Smashing her phone against the wall.
Then she grabbed it.
Her case.
She quickly un zipped it.
Taking out the shiny thing.
Her fingers gliding against it.
Touching it with delicacy
Even when she felt like pure destruction.
Everything of him came into her.
His smile
His laugh
His presence.
Why?
Why did he leave.
WHERE DID HE GO!
she gripped it with every inch of her hands
She Couldn't hold any of it back.
Tears flowing out her eyes.
Why?
"Yuki.....why?"
She started to bawl.
Gripping the only thing keeping her stable.
The guitar.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Her screech's of pain being the only thing echoing the room.
Then it goes silent.
She sniffles.
Wipes away the pain.
And slowly leans down.
Staring to pick up everything she's dropped.
Everything's she broken.
It was almost like she was putting her self back together.
So she can face the world again.
She'll keep swimming to the top.
No matter how many times she can't breathe.
Or sinks lower then she was before.
If not?
Then what good is she?
Bark!
She leans up to see the confused Aki.
She calls him over.
Rubbing his head softly.
"I'm sorry Aki. I'm back"
He licks her hand.
Bringing her a slight warm feeling of comfort.
But as she thought everything was okay.
Out side her door.
Stood a very shocked.
And pained Mafuyu.
Her screams from before and cry's making a shiver go up his spine.
A reality hitting him as he realized
How much pain she was in.
How broken she really was.
He gripped his sweater.
And just leans down against her door.
Not knowing Hana was leaning against the other side as well.
Back to back.
They both needed the same thing.
The same person to makes them complete.
But they no longer had it.
They no longer had him.
Only the mere pieces of one another.
"I'm not lonely"
They both mutter for only themselves to hear.
━━━━━━━☆☆━━━━━━━
Hana places the last bandaid on her finger.
Now having three on each hand.
She readjust her guitar on her back and continues down the hallway.
Just in her own thoughts.
Not knowing she was walking closer to Mafuyu who was looking out the window with Uenoyama's two friends.
She was about to walk past them but a hand quickly pulled her in.
Pushing her against his chest as he made her watch the outside of the window with them.
She turned her head a bit to see Mafuyu staring back down at her.
"Morning"
Was all he muttered before looking back out the window.
Whatever being out there making Uenoyama's friends kinda crazy.
"M-morning"
She muttered back.
She tried to ignore the warm feeling she got from Mafuyu's hands being slightly around her.
So she turns out the window. To see what the fuse was about.
And out there stood Uenoyama who was taking out the trash with ayano.
She looked like she was crying about something.
They couldn't hear the convo what so ever but it looked like a weird confession from where they were standing.
"Seriously why is Uenoyama so popular!"
Hana shrugs at the friends random burst.
She didn't like the sight of it what so ever.
It almost made her upset?
He was very sweet to her.
And treated her kindly.
It made her see how sweet of a person he was
But how selfish of a person she was.
"You guys are putting on a live show right?"
Both Hana and Mafuyu nod at the same time.
"We'll come see you guys. Right?" Itaya excitedly chimes putting his hand over his calm friend.
"We both love music! Break a leg!"
They were sweet.
Hana liked them.
She smiles and nodded
"Thanks"
"Ohh and lets play basketball again sometime during lunch, we'll be waiting for you two all stars!"
Hana giggles
"Kay"
It made her more motivated.
Motivated to tell those people what she really wanted to say.
She peeked towards Mafuyu.
He had a slight smile on his face.
'I wonder what he wants to tell those people'
━━━━━━━☆☆━━━━━━━
With the last strum of their guitars.
Practice session finally ended.
Everyone laid their eyes on Hana and Mafuyu.
"Wow Mafuyu and Hana have gotten better"
"They seriously just improved outta nowhere!"
When they looked back over at the two.
They both were seated next to each other, sleeping.
Hana having her head on his shoulder.
"And their out like a light just like that"
"Guess this is a good time for a break"
Kaji request at he sets his drum sticks down.
Uenoyama just sips his water from afar.
Looking at the two sleeping forms in front of him.
Haruki and kaji shortly leave to go have a smoke.
Leaving Uenoyama to watch after the two.
He sighs and goes over to the two.
Moving Hana over a bit and sitting in between them.
But that only made the two start to sleep on the grumpy boys shoulders.
He jumps a bit and his cheeks start to turn pink.
'No, wait my heart totally didn't skip a beat just now!'
He complains as he holds his hand over his mouth.
'Their both actually sleep right now right?'
He poked at their sides just to make sure.
He slowly stops to see hana's bandaged fingers and Mafuyu's blistered ones.
Reminiscing the days when he used to practice this hard.
"H-hey"
He jumps at the now awake Hana.
He quickly snatched his hand away.
"Y-you y-your!"
"I'm awake"
She stated as she rubs her eyes.
"R-right.."
"Sorry by the way. I haven't gotten anywhere at all with the song yet..."
He scratches the back of his head.
Remembering the words he yelled at her before.
"Well, there's still time..So just keep at it."
She slowly nods and pushes her hair back.
"Kay"
'Honestly....I'm scared of the song their going to come up with.'
As the room fills with silence.
The thoughts in kaji's head filled up his mind.
'Falling in love with someone means you have to expose the softest most fragile parts of yourself to them'
'Other wise, it won't work out.'
'Being touched sends you spiraling into a delirium. The slightest hint of their nails on your skin rips it open, and if they try to crush you with any intent, it's fatal'
'Uenoyama's love is a bomb that has the potential to annihilate the whole band.'
━━━━━━━☆☆━━━━━━━
She leans down the pick up her shoes and put them in her little locker.
Sliding on her school ones.
"Hana-San"
She looks up to see Uenoyama and Mafuyu.
"Oh good-morning"
"Hey, Mafuyu was getting stuck on a part, we're going to meet up in the usual spot during lunch, wanna join?"
It was shocking to see him act back to his usual self again.
She quickly nods.
Wanting to hang together again pretty badly.
"Y-yes!"
He chuckles but try's to keep a stern face.
Walking off.
"W-Wait Uenoyama!"
He quickly turns back around
"Yeah?"
She swallows back her barrier.
"Thanks for teaching me"
A small tint of pink floods his cheeks.
"No problem"
And from then.
Things go back to normal.
The band goes back to practicing.
And meeting up at the usual cafe.
Mafuyu and Hana continue to do good at their job.
And even watch other live performances to get some tips.
Hana's been getting some updates by Mafuyu On how his songs going.
Their going to have to mash their work together sooner or later.
Mafuyu has also been sleeping in class more often and so has Hana.
They've been working really hard.
Uenoyama has even helped Hana fix her apartment back up.
But she refused to tell him how it got like that.
He bickered most the time but they had a really good time messing around.
At some points Mafuyu joined as well.
And it was just a shit show of laughter.
They really were the dynamic trio.
━━━━━━━☆☆━━━━━━━
"Since there's only a week left till our gig, I think we should stop practicing"
Uenoyama almost chocked on his water.
Hana tilted her head in confusion at another one of kajis random request.
"Why exactly?"
"Well from what I'm hearing. Hana is almost at our level and Mafuyu is slightly behind her. We'll make it."
"But the slightest mistake and their done!"
Uenoyama protest.
Haruki chimes in
"Well, at this point it's way more worrying that the lyrics aren't done yet."
"Mafuyu, Hana, I don't think you're gonna be able to write the lyrics if we just keep casually practicing here."
Any angry Uenoyama glares at the two elders
'Why are you pressuring them like that!?!'
He yells on the inside.
"Haruki, I'll take Mafuyu and Hana home. You take care of Uenoyama ."
"Yeah, sure."
Haruki nods.
The three make it outside to kaji's motorcycle.
"Here put these on"
He hands the two a helmet and lets Hana wear his jacket.
As they start to put the things own. Kaji leans against his motorcycle. Taking a long puff of his cigarette.
"You know, if you don't settle things with your past, you won't be able to write those lyrics."
She halts before putting her other arm in his sweater.
"Do you wanna express it? Or do you want to run away from ever having to verbalize it?"
His strong gaze glazed the two shocked teens in-front of him.
He was definitely giving them a push.
And best believe Uenoyama was getting the same thing from Haruki.
They could be a real pain.
But for all the right reasons
