Chapter # 42

I was sitting and waiting till Yoite would finally begin asking something but he did not do, so I took the approach.

"You not gonna ask me anything"

Asking him a question while looking straight at him.

He gazed at me for a while and the shook his head.

I asked,

"Why not?, You were so angry just a minute ago. You even slapped me that hurt you know."

He looked at me and then down and then looked at me again and finally said

"Sorry but no sorry you still deserved the slap."

"Aren't you being a bit proud?"

I chuckled.

"When were you not Shino. You also were. Only in the school did I see you like someone else entirely"

"So for you and Izumi I looked like that"

"Yes. Which made me at least very sad"

Hearing him reply while I looked at the blue azure sky.

Then I was finally asked.

"Why didn't you tell me.?"

"Why did you think I didn't tell you ?"

"Idiot, was running away that easy?"

"No, that time was indeed the hardest I could have endured"

"Shino, stop smiling at every single thing, its stupid and creepy. Cant you smile naturally again?"

"I wonder if it would be easy to smile like that"

"If I apologize or get mad would you be happy or angry?"

"What kind of question is that supposed to be?"

"Answer first."

"I don't think I know the answer to that. Though i would apologise in forgetting about you."

"If that's your response for now then I will wait for a proper reasoning. And I think I pushed you enough so I it's okay now."

"You giving me homework to do"

"Yes, I am still considered your senior whether you like it or not"

"No way, who's gonna listen to you ?"

After that Yoite came close to me and started pulling my cheeks and forming them into a smile.

"Smile once again Shino this time not forced but the way you gleefully smiled like an idiot"

His words pricked at me directly to my heart.

"Yoite, I am so so so--rrry"

Tears started falling down and Yoite grabbed me and closed into a hug and started patting me slowly.

After I had calmed down a bit, Yoite let go of me and leaned on the wall.

"What are you gonna do about the guy who slapped me"

"Yuu?. That surprised me what do you want me to do to him, he was still right considering he still doesn't know anything ye-t"

"I am not gonna be a crappy senior and go over to hit him back but Shino do you want to tell him. Are you sure, you won't regret it ?"

"Regret or not I think I should leave it up to him to decide what to do plus Yuu ain't that type of person that I am certain about besides I think he is the person who's should to know "

"If you have decided to trust him then go to him"

After thinking for a minute or two I went ahead to meet up with those two.

Before moving forward I turned back to Yoite and said

"See you later"

And then I ran to the direction both of them went to.

[ Yoite]

Looking to see the direction is which he went and seeing his expression finally let me relax that he will be okay but Shino it's not that I don't think your decision is bad but Izumi and I know you the best when you finally decided to tell us you still left something behind, it's in your nature to build walls and hold everything in yourself and that Shino will make you self destruct. Don't hold back anymore please or this time you really won't be able to bear it anymore. Yuu please let Shino revert back to his original self.

This life has stored too much for him too much. Looking towards the blue sky I finally prayed for him to not meet another version of him again.

Then I opened my phone to call him up.

[Izumi]

While I was talking with Yuu, Yoite ringed me up so I excused myself and went ahead to pick him and the first thing he says which was obvious

"He's coming to you"

"Well, telling me something very obvious"

"You gonna stick around"

"If Shino wants me to"

"You idiot"

I snapped." Stop calling me idiot, your the idiot one."

"Oh please, everyone knows you were the dumbest and I was the most intellectual"

"Oh yes if the idiot have become intellectual I will stay as I am right now"

"Let this idiot intelligence preach something to you then

Izumi, you have done enough let Shino un bind his own ropes now"

"You think its possible for him to do It alone?"

"No wonder Shino dumped you, I stand by his decision now."

"Hey, that hurts"

"It better you idiot"

"What's the so called advice you wanted to preach?"

"Izumi , let Shino do what he wants to do, we won't stand between his decision anymore, we will intervene when we have to but stay at a distant when we are not needed"

"I know your not wrong but hes very...."

"Similar to him? I know that's exactly why he needs to do it himself whether he's similar or whether he will prove to be different we will stay by him side as we weren't there at that time"

"But I don't want it to repeat that guy ruined half the things in him. Not that Shino wasn't ruined but you know it took me a while to finally let Shino remember who I was and right now I am not even sure whether Shino remembers him or not."

"Yeah, that's exactly why he forgot me too and I thought since he remembered you, I was also remembered but well that was not the case. Curse me in not coming at that time"

"Yoite, we all had reasons at that time and it's not like we had a choice but we have right now"

During the call I saw Shino come close to cafe where we were but before going in he saw me and came to my direction first.

"Is Yuu inside?"

I replied with Yoite still on call.

"Yes, he's there.

Shino, are you ready?"

"I don't know when I will be but I think it has to be now"

"Then, you should go in. If anything happens know that we are here"

"Thank you Izumi and thank you Yoite. You can still hear me right. Okay I will go in, bye"

"So this idiot person finally learnt how to use his brain." said Yoite.

"I am not that stupid"

"Your still half stupid, admit it"

"I am hanging up"

"Yo.....

and I hung up. I forgot talking to him was super annoying.

I wish nothing will happen today, it's been a long day today let it be night without any problems.
