Chapter 3
"Yuma, I'm going to go now. May I see you tomorrow, when things are less awkward?" Kaito asked quietly. Yuma nodded and watched Kaito leave. Yuma was up all night thinking about what happened and why he felt the way he did.
Yuma woke up the following morning with getting little sleep. His friends, especially Tori, noticed this. Tori quietly pulled him aside and asked what the problem was. "It's nothing Tori. Was just a bad dream." said Yuma distantly. Tori noticed it but brushed it aside, assuming it was due to lack of sleep.
They caught up to their friends and walked into the school. The school day eventually ended and Yuma was relieved. He couldn't focus at all in his classes. Yuma replayed everything that had happened yesterday over and over in his mind, often spacing out. "Yuma! Hey, Yuma!" Shark cried out to Yuma for the 3rd time. Yuma snapped back to reality and said, "I'm listening, go on." His friends all shared a look with each other but didn't want to bring it up just yet. "We wanted to know if you wanted to tag along with us and go out to eat". Yuma declined claiming he had something important to do. As he walked away, Tori thought how odd it was for him to pass up food.
Yuma walked home rather happily, not noticing his change in emotion. When he got to his front door, no one was there. He felt disheartened and starting opening the front door. As he was entering, Kaito hugged him from behind, startling and knocking over Yuma. They fell to the floor, with Kaito on top. Yuma could feel his cheeks burning hotter and hotter every second he was on top of him.
"Hey, sorry about that. I didn't realize you were unstable there haha" Kaito said apologetically. Kaito got up and helped Yuma up as well. "I didn't think you were actually going to come, like you said you would. I was kind of sad when I didn't see you..." Yuma said sheepishly. He couldn't believe the words that were coming out of his mouth. He quickly covered his mouth and walked away briskly towards his room. Kaito stood there half shocked and half amused at Yuma's words. He started to call out to Yuma but he heard a door close. He went upstairs and knocked on the door, wondering if Yuma was ok. "Can I come in? There's something I want to ask you" Kaito said concerned. "You can ask from where you are...I-I can't look at you.." Yuma replied weakly. He knew if he saw his face, he would start blushing like crazy.
"Do I have feelings for him...? No, I can't, I love Tori...Do I?" he thought to himself. "I was wondering if you were free this weekend. I want to take you somewhere that may make you feel better after a stressful week" said Kaito hopeful. "S-sure..I don't have any plans. Umm, do you still want to come in...?" replied Yuma. Yuma opened the door and Kaito walked in and sat on his bed. Yuma closed the door and stood in front of it. "So, how are things at home? How's your brother...?" Yuma asked quietly. Yuma had been curious as to how things were going for Kaito since it's been so long. "Everything is fine. My brother recovered well. I was actually thinking of you for a while now, that's why I showed up at your door" Kaito said happily but not enough that Yuma could sense it.
After a while of talking and catching up, Kaito eventually leaves and reminds Yuma about their plans. As Kaito exits, he pauses and looks back at Yuma's home. "I really missed you, Yuma..." Kaito whispered to himself.
