Kyoya's POV
12:37|
I looked at the room and, fortunately, found a table of four. I turned around and guided my friends to this place.
My hand was on Nile's shoulder and, like before, I held him close to me.
- Relax..., he ordered.
I sighed.
- I am ''relax''.
We sat on the chairs and waited for our lunch.
- Uuum..., Benkei said while glancing at the youngest, Wanna get to know each other better?
He asked that to all of us but we knew it was a question for Nile, specifically.
The cute boy nodded shyly.
- Cool! I had a question for you actually! Where are you from? You don't really look Japanese.
- Oh, that's right, I'm from Egypt. I mean... I'm actually mixed. My mom is Egyptian and my dad is Japanese. I spent all my childhood in Egypt, but we moved to Japan three years ago and I got emancipated last year.
- You got emancipated? Why?, the largest one asked.
- Oh, don't get me wrong. I have no family issue. The thing is... before arriving here, I went to another school who was muuuch closer to my house than the one I go to, now. I liked my independency, so... I stayed in my house. Even though I had to take the metro for one hour to get to school.
- Such a relief!, Demure exclaimed, I don't wanna sound like a crybaby but... it's really cool that you can still be in contact with your parents, because mine divorced and my mother doesn't let me see or even talk to my father.
Nile's face saddened and he patted the tallest's back.
- I'm sorry to hear that... can you really do nothing about it?
- Well... I don't know. I don't have time for that, y'know? With next week's exams, I'll be too busy for that. I'm also worried about my mum's reaction if she found out.
- I'm sure you'll be able to talk someday! Don't give up!, Nile cheered him up.
- Hm! Thanks, Nile!
Wow, they seem to get along pretty well.
Hmf... I'm kind of jealous, but whatever...
Um...
Yeah it's okay...

- What's with the long face, Sir?
We were in the forest for like ten minutes.
Ryuga couldn't approach us, because we split into two groups.
Nile was beside me, chatting with Demure and... something was bothering me.
Not Benkei and not the fact of the youngest was making friends, no no no!
I just... feel weird. Like... how did Nile and Demure interact so easily without any tension or awkwardness...?
I wonder... if the orange-haired boy feels very umconfortable with me. He didn't like me that much at first.
Maybe, that's because we're too different?
It will... take time. I sure hope so.
- Nothing, Benkei.
- ''Benkei''?
- What?
- Not... uuuh... ''Eggplant''?
...
Seriously?
I looked at him, stoned.
- You like that nickname or what?
- Uuuh I don't wanna offend you, Sir, but n-
- Gosh, how can you be that dense, holy shi-, I cursed.
- Ah you finally came back to your senses!
- ... Ugh..., I sighed, If you say so.
- Shit!
I turned around and saw Demure's dumbfounded face.
- Is there a problem?, I asked, a bit worried.
- I left my phone at the farm! I have to get back there!
- I'll come with you!, suggested Benkei.
Demure smiled (still in pain, ksksks) and thanked Benkei before heading back to the farm.
...
And I was alone with Nile, now.
Gosh, why was my heart beating that fast?!
I feel like my whole self is going to burst.
- Demure is a really guy, thanks for introducing him to me!, Nile thanked me enthusiastically.
- H-Hah, yeah. Welcome.
- Can the four of us hang out more together? I feel great around you all.
- Yeah, of course! I mean... Demure and Benkei seem to be good guys and... well you too! It's even better for me if you get along...!
But I still feel weird.
- Right!
Suddenly I felt something touching my neck, then my face, then my hands...
I looked up in the sky and I saw that it started to rain?
- Everyone! Sit below the nearest tree, so you don't get wet!
My thoughts were so mixed, I couldn't think straight. I was brought down to Earth when I felt my sleeves being pulled.
- Hey, Kyoya! What you waiting for?! Come on!, the emerald eyed boy yelled while dragging me at the bottom of the closest tree.
I realized that... we were pretty far from the others. We were definitely completely alone... and it made me extremely nervous, for some reasons.
- There's a rock, let's sit on it, better than getting dirty because of the mud..., he declared in disgust thinking about the last idea...
- Oh alright...
- I have some papers, let's put them on the rock, so it can be a bit more ''clean'', you know what I mean?
- Yeah yeah...
Nile raised an eyebrow. I guessed why. I looked lost. And I really was.
- Are you okay...?, he asked worried.
- Don't worry about that. I'm just thinking about something...
- Hey..., he started concerned, I told you to relax a bi-
- It's fine.
- But it don't seem like it. What's on your mind?
- Nothing important.
- Gosh, stop lying!
- I said : I'm okay!, I yelled annoyed.
He backed off in surprise.
- Huh?!, he whispered, What's gotten into you?!, he shouted while clenching his fists.
I sighed. My head was fucking hurting.
- I told you, I'm fine.
- ... But you don't look fine! What's wrong?! Tell me!, he insisted.
I don't wanna tell you! Because I don't even know! Stop asking that!
- I am fine., I stated.
- Stop with this nonsense!
He sat angrily beside me, grabbed my hand and stared into my eyes.
Suddenly, an electro shock was sent down my spine and I thought my heart was going to blast.
I was trembling, lost in an ocean of thoughts. I wasn't in control right now.
- What's w-?
- Don't touch me!, I screamed while removing immediately my hand from his.
What...?
Why did I do that?!
His eyes widened.
Nile was astonished.
- ... What the heck?! What's wrong with you?!
I couldn't say a word.
- Fuck you., he cursed while ignoring me.
I'm... so sorry.
