Rooftop Rant (Chapter 3)

Oct 11, 2010 15:11

Title: Rooftop Rant
Pairing: Nishikido Ryo/Ueda Tatsuya
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my own weird imagination :d
Warning: All the characters were totally opposite with the real character of these JE boys. And yes, Ryo is older than Tatsuya in this fiction. The content of this story can be disturbing to some, so feel free to stop reading if you don’t like it >:p
A/N1: This is an adaptation from one of my fav novel/writing Hlovate's Rooftop Rant. The writing is so inspiring that I can't help but keep reading it over and over again. Then I thought it would be nice if I can write a different version of it. It might be a bit similar but as the story goes, I'll try to write it in a different way. So here I am :')
A/N2: I love Ryoda a lot but I’ve never write anything about this pairing. So I thought it’s about time for me to write Ryoda fiction. Since I’m very much new to this writing and LJ thing, be easy on me please? *puppy eyes attacks*

CHAPTER 1     CHAPTER 2

CHAPTER 3 - START OF SOMETHING NEW

“What happened yesterday? Did you take the medicine according to the prescription I give you?” he had his head low, staring at the floor and how he wished it would swallow him right now.

“I did” he did indeed. He took everything according to the prescription Misaki Sensei gave him. Though sometimes he made an exception on his own, taking extra one pill when he was in a fucking mess or when there was a time he couldn’t close his eyes at night.

“Then what happened to you?”

“I forgot to buy a new supply of chocolate bars. And Snickers too. That’s all. Oh, I forgot my lunch too. Yeap, that’s all”

He climbed up the stairs, carefully not to step on the same old ladder he almost tripped yesterday. Once he reached the entrace, he quickly opened it and looked around. There it was, a pair of leg dangling out from the corner of the wall. He smiled. He’s here today, too. Without wasting much time, he took a step forward.

Ryo stopped his drawing when he heard footsteps coming to his way. He turned around and saw the boy from yesterday made his way towards where he was sitting. He didn’t looked away as he waited for the latter to approach him, and he was right. The boy immediately took a seat beside him, put his backpack next to his and enjoyed the scenery in front of him like he always did. That was when Ryo decided to continue his drawing, it wasn’t something new for them not to talk to each other anyway.

“Here, take it” Ryo titled his head to his left side, eyeing the Cadbury’s bar in Tatsuya’s hand. He lifted his eyebrow, looking all dumbfounded.

“Thank you so much for yesterday. I don’t know what is the right way to show my appreciation but I have a lot of this with me, so here” Tatsuya was still holding the chocolate bar, extending his hand to Ryo.

“But I don’t like sweets”

“Still--” Ryo quickly took the chocolate bar from Tatsuya and put it into his bag. Tatsuya smiled before he himself took another bar from his backpack and opened the wrap, quickly shoved some into his mouth. Ryo was drawing again.

“Thanks” and Ryo nodded his head, hand was still running smoothly on the art paper. Tatsuya didn’t bother. He liked the silence anyway, he always did. And he believe Ryo felt the same way. At least there was something in common about them.

“Hey” Ryo finally spoke up, hand had stopped drawing but Tatsuya was still enjoying the moment. “Do you always collapse like that?”

“No, just when I didn’t take my meal or my medicines” Tatsuya grinned while showing the chocolate bar in his right hand and a bottle of juice in his left hand.

“And why didn’t you?”

“I was running out of them. I didn’t notice it until I need it” Ryo nodded his head a few times.

“Hey” Tatsuya didn’t give any response so Ryo took that as a sign for him to continue to talk. “Yesterday, when i looked into your planner; you left it blank for information under ‘contact person for emergency case’. Why is that?” Tatsuya thought that today was beautiful compared to the previous days he had spent on this rooftop and he loved it. He kept shoving the chocolate into his mouth.

“Tatsuya” Ryo’s voice was low. He kind of expecting the answer that would come from Tatsuya but then, he wanted to hear it from Tatsuya himself.

“Tatsuya” silence wrapped around them. Tatsuya was so engrossed in his own world, watching the blue sky and the birds flying happily in the sky.

“Ryo”

“Un”

“How’s your family?” Ryo put a fake smile on his face.

“Like everyone else I think. Why?”

“Nothing” Tatsuya shrugged. He had finished one chocolate bar by now. The juice in the bottle was still half left.

“What about you?”

“I have parents. I’m the only child in the family. I have a driver and a maid. Do they count as a family too?” it wasn’t really sound like a question so Ryo thought that Tatsuya didn’t expect him to answer it. “What about you?” and he was right. Tatsuya didn’t want an aswer for that.

“Parents and two brothers”

“You’re the eldest?” Tatsuya brought the bottle juice to his mouth, slowly drank it.

Ryo shook his head. “Nope, Ryo in the middle”

“Ryo”

“Hrm”

“Do I really look like a girl?”

“Eh?”

“You thought I was a girl, don’t you?”

Ryo smiled shyly while rubbing the back of his head. “Ahhh, yes indeed. Sorry about that”

Tatsuya waved his hand in front of Ryo. “Naahhh, don’t be. I’m getting used to it already”

“Oh okay. But still, I’m sorry”

“So are you still a student?”

Ryo nodded. His hand started to work on the canvas again. “I’m a college student. I’m doing a bachelor’s degree in accounting”

“Whoahhh” Tatsuya turned around a bit, he was facing Ryo now. “So you left for a class yesterday?”

Ryo shook his head and grinned. “No. I’m working as a part timer at a Chinese restaurant”

Tatsuya clapped his hands once and looked at Ryo with shining eyes. “Cool! Next time I’m going to hang out at that restaurant ‘kay”

“Don’t do anything stupid”

Tatsuya pulled a face and shrugged. “Okay” Then he turned back to his previous position, sitting while facing the tall buildings in front of them. “Are you going to be here tomorrow?”

Ryo titled his head to look at Tatsuya. “I’m not sure yet. Why?”

“Don’t know. I feel good talking with you”

“Let see, if I have nothing to do I’ll be here. But promise me don’t you dare to faint again like last time. Though you’re lighter than I thought you are, still, I had a hard time carrying you down from this 5th floor”

Tatsuya giggled. “Okie dokie”

*****
“Just drop me here” Tatsuya said as he signaled the spot to his driver.

The driver looked hesitantly at Tatsuya but he stopped the car nevertheless. “But Tatsuya-sama, your tuition building is still 2 blocks from here”

Tatsuya nodded. “I know. I need to buy my chocolate supplies” he got off the car, not wanting any response from his driver and walked away towards the store nearby.

He took two mineral bottles and one bottle of apple juice from the frige before proceed to the front and grabbed a full of chocolate bars. He paid for everything he took, didn’t forget to buy the ciggarate too.

*****
“You skip your tuition class again” Tatsuya happily nodded his head.

“What class is it today?”

“Physic” Tatsuya answered lazily and pulled out his L&M from his back pocket. He took out one of the stick and brought it to his mouth but Ryo was faster. Before Tatsuya can slip the cigaratte between his lips, Ryo snatched it away together with the L&M box that Tatsuya just bought. He throw it away, down the building. Someone who was walking down there might get hurt but who cared anyway, Ryo thought.

“Oii!” Ryo pretended not to hear it. Tatsuya was furious and Ryo totally ignored the death glare Tatsuya sent him.

“Why are you smoking?” Tatsuya made a face. He was still angry.

“It’s none of your business. I can do what I want”

“Why are you smoking?”

“Why are you asking?”

“Curiousity”

Tatsuya sighed and threw a look at the sky. The sky was still beautiful. “I don’t know. No one cares anyway”

“I care” and Tatsuya froze. “Quit it. It’s not good for your health” Tatsuya blinked his eyes. Suddenly the sky looked even calming and he wondered even he should be happy about it.

*****
“You’re doing accounting right? Is it good?”

Ryo sighed. “Don’t know, maybe”

“You don’t like it” Ryo shrugged. “Then why do you?”

“My parents want me too. My brother is a doctor. My younger brother is doing his degree in engineering. I guees accountant sounds good to me huh”

“Then what do you want to be?” Tatsuya glanced at the canvas Ryo was scatching. A basketball player.

“Cartoonist or maybe illustrator. Anything as long as I can draw. You?”

Tatsuya was speechless for a moment. “Don’t know. Never thought of it”

“What do your parents want you to be?”

Shrugged. “Don’t know. They never said anything about it”

Ryo handed a bottle of juice to Tatsuya. Tatsuya raised his eyebrow. “Take it and drink. Do not faint again”

Tatsuya just grinned. No one ever cared about what he should do and what he shouldn’t. No one cared about his health, his meals, and his wellbeing except his maid. No one cared if he collapsed or anything. So when there was even one person cared, Tatsuya thought that maybe there was still hope as long as he didn’t stop believe in it.
