Chapter # 28

My day initially started good, I was happy going out with Yuu but as soon as the word "parent" came out. My condition became worse, I hurried out to calm myself down so not to get Yuu worried again. When I reached the dorm I had calmed down.

BUZZ BUZZ

My phone was on vibration mode and when I saw the notification, my hand started shivering. I panicked, my heart started beating so fast.

THUMP THUMP THUMP

All the food I swallowed I wanted to let it out. I went to the washroom and started puking to the point where nothing came out anymore. My head was spinning so badly it made me remember all stuff I wanted to forget it all. Ever since coming here everything is just coming back in one way or another.

CREAK CREAK

The door opened and someone walked in. My head was such a mess that everything was mixed with present to past.

"Shino!!!!!!. Get up from there"

Who is he? but when his hand came towards me I didn't know it made me remember when HE did those stuff to me this made highly unstable and reactive that I pushed him aside. Regardless he came and gave me a glass of water, I pushed it aside and the glass scattered on the floor near my feet, I didn't move the sound of shattering just made me recall when HE hit me repeatedly with glass bottles. He made me stand up but my legs gave out and I was injured with shards. He persistently made me come out of the room and put me on the bed. My shivering and trembling was increasing by the second even when he was helping patch me up I was only pushing him aside, but he just wrapped his arms around me and patted me gently and caressed. I was calming down at his touch and finally my eyes closed and so did the past.

I woke up with a warm feeling close to me, when I opened my eyes to look at it, it was Yuu. I was sleeping besides him and clutching him tightly. This situation half didn't make sense and even if it did, I had no idea what came over me. I was sleeping besides the wall and it was a struggle to move without him waking up but he needs to wake up it's Monday after all.

Wait, Monday. Damn it its Monday, I had to leave early. With me panicking Yuu had woken up.

"Good Morning" Yuu said to me

I replied back with the same greeting, pointing to the fact I had to move out. Yuu finally got out of the bed and gave me space to move. Just as I got up from the bed

OUCH OUCH OUCH

What the, I checked my feet and saw cuts across them and later saw the same on my hands.

What the hell, how did they appear out of nowhere.

"Umm, Yuu can I ask a question?"

"Ask away"

"Why, actually no how come I am injured." the moment i said that Yuu face turned grim.

"Yuu?"

"Nothing happened you fell and you were cut by pieces of shard and be careful, they still are spread on the washroom floor."

I was confused. Cuts, Shards, washroom. What was I doing. I had another important question to which was why was I hugging him but that didn't matter anymore. I had to leave early. The cuts didn't really bother me much, it did sting which was a bit annoying but nothing I cant manage after all I ha e gone through worse.

After I changed, I waited for Yuu we departed for school. It was unusually quiet because normally at this time I would have been bombarded with alot of questions by now but Yuu quiet which was odd. I didn't think much about it and we arrived at class, I had to submit the report to the teacher so I went to teacher room first, after handing over the report I came back to the class room. The classes commenced at the usual time. Class after class, period after period. Now it was the time for lunch break, most of boys went to canteen to buy their lunch, Yuu went too. The girls already had bento with them, they were rice. picked/cooked vegetables, egg rolls and that's all I could see from my seat. I was going to go to the roof top when a girl came close to me and said

"Shino, I made this for you. Please have some"

I looked down towards the bento, it was really cute and thoughtful of her but how can I tell that I can't eat it, it will definitely hurt her feelings so the only thing I could do right now.

"I appreciate your thoughtful gesture and i will definitely have some but next time please don't wake up early to make it for me. Okay"

She nodded

That definitely hurt her feelings but the bento will go to waste on me, still I need to eat this. Oh well let's eat. I went to the rooftop which I was planning on going. I arrived and I set the bento down and then looked at it. It was so cute, the onigiri were shaped in form of bunny and everything looked so nice. It's been a while since someone prepared a meal for me.

Itadakimasu!!!

I was eating without knowing what is what. The only thing I could do was recall the taste when my taste buds still worked.

CLANG CLANG

Someone was definitely on the rooftop and when I looked to see who it was. It was Yuu's friend Tooru.

"I am sorry to startle you all of a sudden, my keychain dropped somewhere here and I can't find it" is what he said to me.

Sigh

"What is the shape of the keychain, I will help you look for it instead do me a favour"

He looked happy, well 2 is better then 1. Plus the roof top is quite big.

"Anything, the keychain is a fluffy black cat keychain and it will have a key attached to it as well"

"Okay let's look for it" I covered the lunch box and put it on the floor and begin searching for the keychain with him

It took us more then 15 minutes but we still couldn't find it.

Wait Tooru was standing/lying on the water container floor which is a small heighted floor above the entrance which means that if the keychain fell it would have been on the opposite side, it was the only place I didn't check.

I called Tooru out and we both checked the backside and saw the keychain stuck behind the railing of the wall. I reached out my hand to grab it and gave it to Tooru.

"Here, you go. Happy"

"Yes, I am. Okay as our per deal what favour you wanted"

"Oh that. You eat that bento and don't say to anyone you ate it" pointing to the bento.

"Why"

"Just eat it and don't say you ate it."

Tooru looked confused, well that's obvious who won't. But he went leaned towards the railing and started to eat.

She worked hard to make it, someone should enjoy it as well.

"You like cats" I asked him while he was busy enjoying the bento

"Yes!!!! I love them, we own three cats." his face was shinning when saying it.

When he finished eating, I took the bento. I didn't eat it but i should atleast wash it before giving it back.

I was back towards the entrance to go to the class.

"Shino, wait up"

I turned around to look

"Since you searched for my keychain and also fed me. I am gonna show you my cats. I don't show my cats to anyone I am possessive person in regards to that. But I will make an exception, You are a nice guy"

I laughed what kind of logic is that.

"Hey, will you show your treasure to anyone who feeds you?"

"No, but Shino I like you, so your coming to my home today to see them. Don't you dare go home, your coming with me."

"Hey but....

"No buts, it's already decided. Since we are in the same class so you wont be able to run anymore."

He isn't listening anymore.

"Fine, I will go" Seeing cats won't harm me.

"Then its decided"

He stood up, and came closer to me, grabbed my hand and then said

"Let's run to the classroom"

Wait what

And of we went to the room. It been a while since I actually had fun. So taking his lead we ran towards the class.
