“Who are you?”
It was just ten seconds – the time taken for Tatsuya to blink once; to
take in the situation; to see the car; to even work up the voice to get his attention.
Ten seconds - was all it took.
“I’m a murderer.”
Had he only been quick enough; observant enough – he would have been
able to stop it from happening.
The blood in his body ran cold. He lost all feeling in his arms and
legs. His ears were ringing slightly and all he could see was red.
Dark red.
Seeping deep within the whites of their jerseys - overwhelming all the
other colours.
Overwhelming his purple.
His vocal chords seared as his voice escaped his lips. He dropped the
bags of snacks he had been helping the other carry; his legs working faster and
harder than they ever did. He pushed past the by-standers, unable to hear their
frantic whispers; their calls for aid – nothing but his dulling eyes had his attention.
Dark red.
It was everywhere. Tatsuya kneeled beside the broken body, his tears
streaming freely.
“A-atsushi.. Atsushi! Atsushi!”
His name first came out as a whisper – afraid that even the slightest
sound would bring more hurt. Then, it became a sob; repeated over and over and
over again – wishing fervently that this was nothing but a nightmare, one that
he would be able to wake up from.
“Who are you?”
He reached for paling fingers, grasping them tightly within his own. His
vision blurred from the tears that wouldn’t stop. He felt him return a squeeze – as if trying to say “I’m okay”.
“I’m a strayer.”
Strong arms wrapped themselves under his arms and pulled. Tatsuya
struggled to escape, unwilling to stray away from him.
“ATSUSHI! ATSUSHI! NO-NO PLEASE
NO! ATSUSHI!”
Tatsuya sobbed as those arms pulled at him relentlessly. Their contact
broke as Tatsuya was pulled back. Tatsuya fought against his restraints,
throwing punches and kicks to those who were holding him. But to no avail, he
watched as they loaded him into the back of the
ambulance; watched as they placed the oxygen mask upon his face; as they shut
the doors and as they drove away.
“Who are you?”
Tatsuya stared at the sky; the winter sky was a darker blue and the wind
was bitter cold.
Eight months had passed since the accident; and three months since he returned to school. It was as though nothing had changed – life went
on per normal for everyone, basketball trainings had continued every day after
school, the final year students were mugging for their papers – and yet,
everything had changed.
Everything was changing.
Every ten seconds to be exact.
“I’m your lover.”
Atsushi‘s eyes widened a little
before he leaned forward, pulling Tatsuya in an embrace, closing the distance
between their lips swiftly.
It was all too familiar. Although
his mind could not remember – his body sure did. His tongue licked the other’s
lips, seeking entrance. The smooth muscle danced to an unknown tune with the
other; longing for more. Atsushi pulled Tatsuya tighter into his embrace, not
wanting to let the shorter boy go.
This scent, his scent was all too familiar. This heat, his heat was something he knew very well. And yet he could not
remember how or from where.
“Who are you?”
Atsushi stepped back; wondering why
he was embracing a stranger.
He watched those sad black eyes
blink once as a tear rolled down the side of Tatsuya’s face. A small sad smile
grew on the boy’s lips as more tears threatened to fall from his eyes.
A sudden sharp pang hit Atsushi in
his chest as he watched the black haired boy give a slight shake of his head as
he took a step backwards.
“I’m just a passerby.”
Tatsuya retreated back another step;
his heart wrenching painfully. Suppressing the sob that was threatening to
escape, Tatsuya gave his beloved purple giant another sad smile as he watch him
forget him all over again.
“Goodbye.”
