I hummed to myself, the pink bear in my right hand, head banging it to the tune. An amused chuckle had me scrambling up on the couch, seeing Uruha grinning at me. I flushed, sticking my tongue at him before settling the pink bear next to me, going back to correct the music sheets neglected earlier. The couch dipped next to me as Uruha seated himself, playing with the pink bear.
“Music for the new song?”
I nodded, humming the tune to myself. I passed the sheets to Uruha who in turn returned the bear to me, my fingers idly playing with the black plastic earrings that the bear wears.
“You like the bear well enough”
I smiled, not offering any words.
“You do know that it is not from Miyavi, right?”
“Ruki?”
Uruha nodded, returning to the music sheet, nonchalantly crossing one long leg over the other with elegance that only he can pull off. I stared hard at the bear, hoping it would give me some answer to this never ending situation we are in. I felt a finger poking my forehead, turning to Uruha who grinned at me in a way only he could.
“Don’t think so hard”
I blinked at him.
“We know”
My jaw dropped at that. What did he mean by that?
“Know what”
“Ruki and you had an argument. I saw him buying the bear. I guess he is trying to make amends”
Okay. That is all that he knows. Good. We had never told Aoi or Uruha about our relationship. Silly of us since both of them would definitely be okay with it. But then, I guess we both had wanted to keep this a private thing between us.
“Morning”
Uruha waved to Ruki who looked almost back to normal today. Uruha stood up, passing Ruki, whispering something to him which made him flush. When Ruki’s eyes darted to me, I knew that Uruha had told him that I now know whom the bear is from. I offered a small smile, leaving the bear on the couch as I too stood up, wanting to go get a hot drink from the vending machine. As I pondered on the choices of beverages to have, I found myself not alone.
“I remembered the soup. Reita don't cook. You came, didn’t you? ”
I turned to Ruki who looked at me curiously. I shrugged, pressing the button for hot cocoa, bending to retrieve the can before passing it to him and getting the same for myself.
“Why?”
As I opened the can, I wondered what to answer him. I see him still staring at me, waiting for an answer.
“You are after all still my band mate”
I saw the disappointment in his eyes as he nodded and turned away. Sometimes he just confuses me. One minute wanting me, the other telling me to stay away. Which one should I believe in?
