50stories , theme set 002: #20 Heartbreak Club by KAT-TUN.
So it was a Friday afternoon. Saga was on his way to Shou's apartment, his friend said it is important that Saga makes his way to his place immediately.
And now Saga is panting and sweating as he knocks rapidly on the door, still catching his breath, the door opened. It wasnt Shou in front of him.
It's Tora, eyes filled with tears, nose running, well, not actually, he was wiping it off with the back of his hand like a lost little boy, which is gross for his age, but being his friend for more than five years now, Saga shrugged it all off anyway.
"What's wrong, Tiger?" Saga asked, squinting his eyes, he almost falls over when the raven - haired man runs to him and hugs him tight, "We.. We're over!!!" Tora bawls, Saga pats his head.
"Ok, Tiger. Let's take this inside, you're a little embarrassing." Saga turns Tora's body and pushes him in, Saga finds Shou preparing 2 bottles of beer as he enjoys the soymilk carton hanging on his mouth on a straw. Shou acknowledges Saga's arrival by giving him a nod.
Saga sits on the couch, Tora settles on the floor, still trying to wipe his face off with the back of his hands, the apartment's owner tilts his head towards their crying friend's direction, "He's got THE problem."
Tora sniffles, oblivious to what Shou has said, Saga crouches down in front of Tora and pats his friend's back once again, "You'll be ok Tiger, maybe being single will do you right this time."
"But I'm never single!!!" Tora screams, voice cracking, snot bubble popping from his nose.
"Okay, big baby. Come on blow those snot out." Saga hands Tora his own hanky, the latter takes it and blows his nose like there's no tomorrow, "Keep it." Saga tells him before Tora can even try to return the item.
Shou sighs and walks to the kitchen silently to text his boyfriend secretly.
"PON-dear. Cant come over. Tiger cub still Crying. Sorry. Make it up to you tomorrow. Love You!"
The three of them are always in a relationship at the same time, so now that there's one grieving, nobody's allowed to be happy for themselves and for their relationships in 24 hours. They need that time to calm whoever's single at the moment. That's their golden rule.
Shou shakes his head and takes a peek to the living room. He watches as Saga rubs Tora's back, the heartbroken man's shoulders keep rising up and down, still crying over the break up. Still crying. For an hour now.
Tora was not a playboy. He just believes that every lover he gets is THE ONE. And every single break up, in the five years they've been friends, this is how Tora becomes that Shou needn't say anything at all, because it's always been Saga who's always able to calm him down. The problem with Tora though, as Shou and Saga believe, is that he's always looking for THE ONE, he's on the rebound already a week or so later, saying that destiny doesn't wait for no one, it just happens.
-----
So let's say a week has passed and Tora just received a text message from Shou. It was urgent he says. Taking his bicycle, he rides as fast as the wind to Shou's apartment. Tired and sweating as he was, he knocked immediately on the door, the moment he arrived. It wasnt Shou who opened the door for him.
"Oi, Saga."
Saga was standing there, sniffing quietly with a hanky on his hand, covering half of his face.
"We're over..." Saga bawls hysterically, running towards Tora, hugging the taller man tight. "I've been cheated on again..." the brunette's voice is muffled against Tora's shirt.
"Let's take this inside." Tora kept Saga close, walking inside Shou's apartment with Saga still wrapped around him. Shou prepares two cups of coffee for the two, and a soymilk drink for him. Tora looks at Shou, he shrugs, "You know the drill."
Tora sits on the couch, Saga beside him, the dark haired man wipes Saga's tears with his hand.
"He's an idiot Saga, dont cry so much over that jerk."
"But I like that jerk... Is there something wrong with me?" Saga bawls again, Tora takes Saga's hanky, wiping his face over and over.
"Nothing wrong with you. They just couldnt see how wonderful you are." Shou shakes his head as he just observes the two from the end of the couch, he text his boyfriend.
"Sorry Dear. No movies tonight. Saga this time. Love you!"
Saga was an independent person, independent boyfriend. Too indepenedent he gets cheated on from time to time, the other party often thinks that he's too absorbed with work, with his life and that Saga's become insensitive. Which he's not. He's actually one of the most loving and sensitive persons Shou and Tora has known.
"Well, that makes the two of us." Tora tells Saga, who sniffles and looks at his friend.
"Two of us?"
"Still single."
"It's been a week, really?" Saga pouts, Tora wipes another tear that has uncontrollably fallen fron Saga's eye.
"Yeah, like you said, time to be single for a while." Saga shakes his head, then looks at Shou, "There MUST be three of us then."
Shou gets wide eyed with what he heard, "No. HEY! No! Not funny!!!"
"B... But... if we're always in relationships at the same time, we must all be single together too!" Saga continues, still sniffing, and pouting.
"NO! We never agreed on any kind of rule like that! This isn't a heartbreak club!" Shou panics, this is really the first time that two-thirds of their circle overlapped being single.
"Wah! Tora!!!! He's gonna let us be miserable while he stays blissful with Hiroto!!!!" Saga screams, Tora hugs him again and shakes him up like a little baby to calm him down.
"Shhh... dont worry, we'll leave him with his boyfriend while the two of us do what singles do together."
"Like what?" Saga looks up at Tora, eyes wet with tears again.
"We're gonna have lots of fun together! Go to amusement parks, to zoos, watch movies, we'll have so much fun and rub it all on his face because he's missing out."
Saga's eyes glisten with delight, nodding as he agrees to Tora's plans, the crying brunette turns to Shou and sticks his tongue at him, who in turn just smirked and read the text message he received silently.
"Why cant those two just hook up?"
Shou looks at both his friends as they talk about the rides they'll try, the animals they'll see and the movies they'll watch. Agreeing on the days to do this already, Saga has stopped crying, Shou couldnt help but smile and replies to Hiroto.
"I tihnk they're getting there. They dont realize they're already planning on a date."
Shou laughs hysterically when he read Hiroto's reply, which earned him evil glares from Tora and Saga, who just as quickly returns to talking about their plans, ignoring the 'blissful' Shou.
"FINALLY! Those two are always looking for someone else when it's all so clear who they're supposed to be with."
Shou smiles as he watches his friends, they may not have realized it yet but Saga shows no signs of grievance anymore, he was smiling, like a person genuinely in love, so is Tora as he looks at him. The hand wrapped around Saga's waist as the brunette still leans against Tora's shoulder looking intently at Tora as he speaks didnt escape Shou's eyes either.
Shou is pretty sure these two wont stay single for too long now.
