Almost Perfect, Part 1

These days has been quite peaceful… all except the back pain from every night I had with Toma. It kinda embarass me how this back pain makes me feel like an old man, though I wonder where do Toma gets all his energy to do it everytime.

 

"It's crazy how time flies so fast now."

 

"I know right? We're already a step close to graduation!"

 

"Hey Yuji, can I have atleast one dumpling?" I also wonder how the four of us became a 'group of friends'. We were all gathered together at the cafeteria, talking like a bunch of good buddies.

 

"Uhm, before that…" I squinted my eyes while taking a good look at Hino, Noru, and Tomakawa. "…what the hell are we gathered here for? And no Hino, I won't give you my dumpling."

 

"Er, aren't we all friends? It should be a normal thing for all of us to be gathered here." Noru said, making me spit the green tea I was drinking.

 

"Friends!? You serious!?"

 

Toma laughed beside me. "Well, it's more like they want to tell us something."

 

"Huh, then what is it?"

 

I gazed at the two sitting infront of me, then I just noticed the matching ring on their hands… no way… 

 

NO WAY!

 

"Surprised, aren't 'ya?" Hino laughs.

 

"N-No, I kind of knew about it but I never thought the two of you will tell us." I had the gist of their relationship but never had the chance to confirm it, anything about them is none of my business anyway so I didn't bother much.

 

Noru had a corner of his lips curved down when he glanced at Hino. "Before you assume things, let me tell you that I was forced to do this."

 

Hino laughs at Noru. "You're just too shy to admit you like me."

 

"You're not my type. Just die."

 

"Aww, how sweet of you."

 

"Can you please stop flirting infront of me, you guys are making me uncomfortable." I told them. And it scares me that people might hear them. Though I think Noru is open about his bisexuality, I... I just can't... I sighed through these thoughts.

 

"You're just jealous, why not flirt with Toma there hahaha!" He teased.

 

"Wha—" I felt my face burn hot. Taking a quick look at Toma, he grins as if it was a good idea. I was about to stop him from doing but it turns out that he was going to say what I never expected.

 

"Yeah, that sounds good but we prefer to do it privately." He said with wink.

 

"Oohh, that's also nice, but not as thrilling." I couldn't believe that Hino is saying all of that. "This is just how I am when it comes to the person I like—"

 

"And it's hella tough and embarassing for me to handle, I'm outta here." Noru runs away with a cherry red face. The way he acted was so out of character that it shocked me. Noru was always annoying and suspicious, and that was a first for me to witness him being like that.

 

Just what in the world did Hino do to that guy?... it almost makes me want to pity him.

 

"Hm, I guess I'll have to go now. I got to stop him before he cause some ruckus somewhere."

 

"Yeah, see you later!" And when Hino left, Toma and I glance at each other. We both just laughed at a comedic scene they just made.
