Deep, deep

Part 9

 

 

Shinya was running down the path along Toshiya’s apartment, there was not even a single soul around at this time. Tears was streaming down his face, his heart was pounding fast after running for some distance. His hand was still burning after giving both Toshiya and Die each a slap. His speed starts to slow down, he could not catch his breath and finally he stop down at the turning junction.

 

“ STUPID DIE!!” Shinya yelled as he turns around but did not see Die came chasing after him, which he had expected the red head to do so. “ You don’t even bother to chase after me!”

 

After staring for a while Shinya give up and stood down on the path. He was clutching his fist firmly just in case Die did turn up so that he can give him another blow and forgive him if Die apologize, maybe he will forgive him, maybe if Die apologize now. His firmly hold fist soften at the moment he think of it, his anger smooth down, his eyes redden again.

 

He did not come after me, he didn’t…

 

Shinya was crying bitterly, not caring anyone seeing him like that. His heart was broken, totally shattered by the one he love!

 

 

 

This terrible weekend finally ended with someone hurt, someone confuse, someone feeling relax, someone realizing his truth feeling and someone doing nothing accept for sleeping. Follow by was Monday, the day for the band practices.

 

Kyo was surprisingly the first one to reach the studio. “ Where is everyone?” He wondered, within a while later he was found sleeping on the sofa when Kaoru arrival.

 

“ Good morning!” Toshiya was the third one to arrival.

 

Kaoru was the only one greeting the bassist back. He had notice how refreshing the bassist look, maybe something good happen to him he thought and felt happy suddenly. Maybe this is what others had said; when the person you like is happy, you would also feel happy. Kaoru was smiling all the way while reviewing his study. Toshiya was staring confusingly at their leader.

 

“ Are you alright Kaoru-san?”

 

Kaoru sweatdrop when he realizes how he had been smiling like idiot all the way. He gives the bassist a silly face and both laugh. Toshiya lighten up, this is the first time Kaoru behave like this in front of him as their leader had always put on a serious face.

 

Toshiya felt satisfied. He doesn’t need Kaoru to love him or do anything for him. All Toshiya want is the relationship they are having now, just friend, bandmate and that’s all. Deep inside Toshiya, he still has some rejection against falling in love. He was afraid to get hurt, afraid to lose the one he love again. He completely understands he could take another blow.

 

Anyway Kaoru doesn’t love me so just let it be…

 

 

Kaoru was staring at Toshiya who was smiling dreamingly to himself. It had been a long time since he sees the bassist behaving like this. If it were the past, he will not feel anything but thing was different now, it seem that he had fall deeply in love with the bassist.

 

Kaoru was laughing again.

 

Toshiya was still smiling dreamingly.

 

They notice one another behavior; again they broke out laughing without knowing what really happening to the other one.

 

 

The door open suddenly had distracted Kaoru and Toshiya joy. Standing at the door was Shinya and behind of Shinya was Die. The smile on Toshiya’s face faded as he recalls the incident that happened two days ago. Since that day, Toshiya only receive a call from Die telling him that Shinya is aright and he had not seen them till.

 

Shinya and Die enter the studio, Die giving Toshiya a smile secretly hinting him that everything is still going on well but his smile had already been noticed by Kaoru and Shinya. Shinya was heading directly to his drum set after giving Toshiya a glared without the bassist noticing. Kaoru take a glance at Die then to Toshiya and Shinya, something must be wrong.

 

Kaoru was the first one to break the silent.

 

The practice that day was quiet. There was no unnecessary conversation, especially no conversation between Toshiya and Shinya. After the practice, they had dinner together, mainly being pull along by Kyo who insist having dinner together before letting them off.

 

The dinner was tasteless for everyone accepts for Kyo who is enjoying his meal without noticing what’s going on. Kaoru was sitting in front of Toshiya beside Shinya and Die was sitting beside Toshiya in front of Shinya.

 

“ So what do you all think about the concert stage?” Kaoru is trying to break the quietness.

 

Knowing that Kaoru was trying to help out, Die immediately expands the topic. “ How about the lighting, don’t you think it is too bright?” Die said and look at Toshiya and Shinya for answer.

 

“ Leave the lighting to the worker.” Shinya simply answer and continue eating his food hoping to finish it soon and leave the place.

 

Toshiya was getting mad now. What wrong have he make? Why should he let Shinya showing him cold-shoulder like that? If were to said who had the right to be angry, that person should be Toshiya himself and not the drummer who had snatch his lover! He had be remaining quiet all the while because he was afraid to say anything that will anger Shinya and this is mainly for Die’s good.

 

Toshiya is giving up now! Why should he care so much for them! He starts to increase his speed of eating…

 

Kaoru sulk.

 

Die sweatdrop. He could feel that Toshiya was getting angry and Shinya was still ignoring him.

 

Speechless… quietness…

 

 

5 Minutes later.

 

“ Excuse me, I’ve finish and wish to leave first!” Toshiya stand up saying and left without waiting for anyone reply.

 

Kaoru did not stop him, maybe letting the bassist leave will be better or at least this is what Kaoru thought. Shinya still remain unmoved, just like he had heard nothing. Kyo properly was the only one waving his hand to Toshiya saying goodbye and Die just look at the vanishing back of Toshiya. 

 

“ Excuse me too!” Die said suddenly.

 

Shinya look at the red head, at the back of his lover who was now properly running after the bassist as Die was walking toward the direction of the exit. Kaoru was unpleased wondering what Die was trying to do.

 

Shinya grip onto his spoon tighter, he did not let his anger and jealousy show on his face but what he was thinking now was that it would be great if a car runs down Toshiya now.

 

 

 

“ Toshiya!” Die called out when he saw the bassist was about to cross the road not caring others staring at him.

 

Toshiya was surprise to see the red head, he stop and wait for Die. Why is he trying to do? Coming after me like that with Shinya around?? Toshiya pout upon thinking of his second question, why should he worry again!?

 

“ What’s up?” Toshiya asked when Die approaches.

 

“ Sorry, for what happen today!” Die apologizes. “ I know it not good to be treated like this especially when it not even your fault but please don’t get mad at Shinya. I’m sure he just could not think through now but it will be alright soon!”

 

“ You just want to apologize?” The anger in Toshiya smoothens down.

 

Die nod his head. Toshiya starts to giggle suddenly.

 

“ Since when you have become such a great lover?” Toshiya was still giggling. “ Running after me just to apologize for your lover?”

 

“ Toshiya!!” Die pretends to get angry.

 

Then the laughter fades out. Die was looking serious now. “ This is just a little thing that I should do because I’m the main causer of this situation.”

 

Paused…

 

“ I’m really happy, you really change a lot for Shinya!” Toshiya was also looking serious. “ It would be good if things work out soon for both of you.”

 

“ Thanks!”

 

“ But I don’t think it’s a great idea to come after me like that when your lover just forgive you!” Toshiya said jokingly.

 

“ No, he had not forgiven me.” Die answer while he starts to walk back to the restaurant.

 

“ Didn’t you two come together today? I thought he had?” Toshiya was puzzle.

 

“ It just me sticking to him!” Die said and wave goodbye to the bassist. “ See you!”

 

No wonder they have not been talking the whole day. Toshiya recall and understand what Die was telling him. He cross the road and walk the opposite direction from Die.

 

 

 

Die went back to the restaurant. Kaoru and Kyo was the only persons he saw, he approaches them and before he had said anything, Kyo cut into him. “ Shinya had left.” It was the only thing he said to Die.

 

“ See you guys…” Die said and wave goodbye to them.

 

“ Die!” Kaoru stop Die who was about to leave. “ Can we have a talk?”

 

Die was in a hurry to look for Shinya to explain why he had go after Toshiya but the serious expression on Kaoru had stop him from leaving. Die agreed to stay with Kaoru to have a talk with him. 

 

 

Kaoru and Die was sitting at the counter, as there are lesser people around. Kyo was told to leave first, although he was unwilling to leave like that but he did not disobey their leader especially when Kaoru had that kind of serious expression.

 

“ Can you tell me what’s going on with you, Shinya and Toshiya?” Kaoru start the conversation.

 

Die hesitated for a while. Kaoru waiting patiently for Die to answer his question, he wanted to know it in either case no matter it is for the band or as a friend. Thing will not work out properly if Toshiya and Shinya continue to be like that. To what he had known, Toshiya and Shinya was once having a good relationship but why is now that they are behaving like this.

 

“ It was all my fault!” Die finally speak up and Kaoru listen patiently.

 

Die tells Kaoru what had been going on, what he had done that had cause this situation. Kaoru finally get to know everything, at first he was damn angry with the red head but after knowing what Die had plan to do, he anger smoothen down.

 

In the other hand, Kaoru was happy in some way when he knows that Toshiya was not with Shinya or Die. At first he actually thought that Toshiya and Shinya was snatching Die with one another and as a result their relation worsen but he is relief now.

 

Or at least he have chance as Toshiya was single now…

 

“ Die I hope you would straighten out everything with Shinya soon! I don’t want these thing to distract our band or the coming concert.” Kaoru said before leaving. “ I hope you understand what I trying to said.”

 

“ I know!” Die answered. “ See you tomorrow!”

 

“ Bye!” Kaoru answered.

 

They turn to different directions. Kaoru heading back home and Die heading to Shinya’s place.
