His eyes fall close as the wind caresses his face. How comforting. It was as if it blows his troubles away, blows the bad memories away. He wriggled his toes a little, feeling the soft warm sand filling the spaces between his toes. Opening his eyes again, he watched as the sun appeared over the horizon, over the vast ocean, colouring the clouds around it in a beautiful shade of orange. It wasn’t until the sun was up and shining light over the dark streets did he turn around, slip into his slippers and make his way back to the cold lonely apartment off at the other side of the town.
He’d come here every morning just to watch the sun rise. It somehow made him appreciate life more. Gave him reasons to continue living, knowing that there are actually beautiful things hidden under the dark and cruel surface of the world.
Nino sighed as he stepped through the wooden door of his apartment, the cold emptiness greeting him. Making his away to his bedroom, he picked the picture frame from his bedside table and for the millionth time, he asked -- what happened?
Setting the frame gently down back onto the table, Nino rubbed his face tiredly a few time before dragging himself to his closet to grab his work cloths. There was still a few hours before he needed to leave for work but it never hurts to prepare first right?
~
The sunlight filtered through the blinds of the room, slowly moving deeper and deeper into the room until it reached the two sleeping figure over at the fair side of the room.
Ohno buried his face deeper into the pillows, tightening his hold on the other man. Finally, he sighed in defeat and gave up to the persistent sunlight, opening his eyes. The first thing he saw was a black mop of hair right in front of his face. He sighed again, before burying his face in Nino’s hair, thinking about how waking can wait.
Then the alarm clock rang.
~
“Ah, Nino?” Nino whirled around to find his co-worker staring back at him, a letter in his hand. “A letter came again”
Giving a small smile, Nino took the letter from the other man’s hand “Thank you, Matsumoto-kun.” He prepared to leave but stopped when his name was called again.
“Ahh! Nino wait..”
Nino turned and gave the other man a questioning look. “Yes...?”
Jun opened his mouth to say something before closing it again, thinking better of it. “Uh, nothing really. Do you want to have lunch together with the rest today?” He asked, for the lack of anything else better to ask him.
Nino smiled again, the same sad smile “No thank you. I’d rather eat alone” With that, he turned and walked of, not giving Jun any chance to respond.
Jun sighed and ran his hand through his hair a few times, all the while looking at the back of the man who used to be his best friend.
~
“WE’RE GONNA BE LATE~!” Nino whined, dragging the still half asleep man by the hand and out of the apartment. “If i get fired, I'm gonna blame it on you and steal all your money!”
Ohno chuckled. He shook his head before stopping, causing the man in front of him to jerk back suddenly and fall into the awaiting arms of the older man.
“We’re not gonna be late Kazu.. Today's meetings pushed back by an hour”
“...”
“Kazu..?”
“WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?!”
Ohno barely had time to react, before the younger boy suddenly jumped at him, with his legs crossed at the ankles to prevent him from falling over. He reached down to pull Ohno’s ear and Ohno let out a yelp of pain, grabbing Nino’s arm in attempts to have him let go.
“I COULD HAVE GOTTEN MY PROPER CUP OF COFFEE! I WOULDN’T HAVE SPILLED IT ON MY NEWLY BOUGHT GAME CONSOLE! I’LL KILL YOU~!”
The pair continued, oblivious to the many curious (and sometimes annoyed) stares given by the people passing by.
They were still late for work, with crumpled suits and tousled hair. Ohno’s ears were also in a weird shade of red.
~
“Not going for lunch today?”
Nino was snapped out of his trance and he turned around to see the janitor smiling kindly at him.
“Ahh. No. Thank you for asking..”
The old man let out a chuckle.
“Ahh, i see another letter came today”
Nino turned and saw the letter, it’s tip protruding out from the corner of his back.
“Yea..”
“Why don’t you open it?” Nino looked at the old man before shaking his head slightly.
“I.. I’ll open it at home...” The janitor nodded in understanding.
“Well, then I’ll be off first. Lots of things to clean today” He said, chuckling slightly.
“Erm, Sakurai-san!”
The janitor, Sakurai, turned back. “Yes?”
“Have you.. Have you ever felt lonely before?” Nino stared at his fingers, refusing to meet the curious look Sakurai was giving him. Nino didn’t need to see to know that the other man was smiling.
“Yes.” Nino’s head shot up. Sakurai was always known for his positive attitude. Forever smiling. I never occurred to Nino or anyone else in particular that such a man would ever feel what it was like to be lonely. “In fact. alot of times.”
“But you see Nino-chan. Being alone is not always a bad thing. You don’t have to worry about what others think. You get to make your own decisions. Things go your way. Isn’t that what life is supposed to be like? Deciding your own fate. I’m contented the way i am now..
~
For the 100th time that day, Nino flipped open his phone to see an empty page staring back at him. One week. One whole week since Ohno left without a trace. Throwing his phone towards the direction of the other side of the room, Nino flopped back down on his bed, tears threatening to spill.
There was a small knock on his front door, one that Nino almost missed over his sobbings. he covered his head with his pillow, willing that whoever was out there would take a hint and go away. He wasn’t really in the mood to talk to anyone. But the knocks didn’t stop and anymore, Nino swear a headache would form. So he threw off the covers and grudgingly walked towards his front door. He threw it opened and froze.
“Satoshi!” Nino exclaimed before rushing forward to hug the older man. To his surprise, not only did Ohno not return his hug, he struggled to get out from the embrace.
Nino looked at him with questioning eyes. “Satoshi?”
“Kazu.. I have to tell you something”
Nino looked confused for a moment before breaking into a smile. “Sure! Come in!” He said, totally missing the hesitation in the other man’s voice.
Nino took his hand and started to walk in the direction of his living room before he was jerked back again. Ohno stopped moving beind him.
Nino turned back and looked at him confusely. “Satoshi.. What happened”
“Kazu, i’m getting married”
~
Nino rolled in his bed, dragging his blanket along with him, creating a mess. Sakurai’s words won’t leave his mind.
You don’t have to worry about what others think.
Maybe he was right. Maybe.. Being alone wasn’t that bad after all.. Maybe. But Nino knew, he could repeat that a million times but he’d be lying to himself the second he said alone.
Just then, his phone rang. Untangling himself from the sheets, Nino reached over to his bedside table and flipped open his phone.
“Hello? Nino-kun?”
“Ahh, Aiba-kun.”
“Whats up? You sound so sad!”
“Erm. Nothing, really”
“Oh. Anyways, I’m back in Tokyo!”
“Oh, really?”
“Yup! You know...” Nino wasn’t really listening anymore, his eyes fixed on the white envolope sitting together with the hundreds of it like, by the window sill.
“Erm Aiba-kun.. I’ll.. call you back later”
“And it was so fierce! You should have seen its face.. Sorry what?” But Nino have already longed hanged up
~
“What..?” Nino felt his throat suddenly grow dry.
“I’m getting married...” Ohno repeated, although he was pretty sure Nino heard on the first time.
“Why?” Nino was confused.
“I’m sorry Nino.. I.. I got her pregnent”
~
He stared at the letter in his hand. The smell emitted from the letter reminded him the ocean. It was as if someone washed it with sea water before it was given to him. Maybe that was really what happened, Nino thought as he touched the wrinkled corners of the letters. He tilted the letter to one side and sure enough, the familiar sound of sand sliding against paper was heard.
Slowly, he opened the letter, despite already knowing what was inside. Reading it over, Nino couldn’t stop the tears that had fallen.
It always started with a ‘Thank you’ and ended with an ‘I’m sorry, I loved you’.
Maybe being alone wasn’t as easy as he thought it would be.
