Osamu 5

"So, you're saying that you end up walking in the rain with Fukurodani's former setter without even buying an umbrella until you send him home?" Kita-san asked when he visited me to my room after he delivered the new harvested rice of his that I ordered.

I nod under my blanket.

"You're dumber than your twin." He stated.

My former captain looked at me as if I'm so pathetic for risking my health knowing that I'll end up getting sick but I still soaked in the rain just to be with the person I love who is deeply in love with someone else.

"I guess it runs into your genes being so pathetic in love. You're not even a wolf but rather just a fox so how come you love like you've imprinted? Jeez, both of you really are a twin." He said shaking his head before putting a cool pad on my forehead and went out of my room to probably cook something for me to eat.

I sighed and placed my arms in my eyes while thinking about Akaashi. After I send him home last night, I stayed a little bit longer not too far from their apartment before I went home that caused me to get sick. After I told him what's on my mind without spilling out my feelings, we didn't talk again and just continued on walking until we get to the station and rode the crowded train both wet from the rain.

A smile formed my lips when I remembered how his face blushed with embarrassment when I suddenly got pushed to him making our lips almost touched from the impact. God knows how much self-control I used for me to not end up kissing those pale red lips of his.

The insane part of me did regret that I didn't but the sane part of me says that if a chance has given to me, then I should grab it and never let it pass.

I didn't know how I end up sleeping but I woke up when my phone rings. I didn't get to answer whoever it is that called so I just let it be for a while since it didn't ring again. I tried to get up in bed when I feel hungry and went out of my room to check if there's something to eat.

"Oh! Hey stupid! You're awake. Do you want me to heat up the porridge?" Kita-san asked who was about to go when I went out of my room.

I believe he cleaned my apartment after cooking that's why he's still here. Everything is so damn shiny now that it makes me feel bad somehow.

"I'll do it. Are you going now? Why don't you stay the night?" I asked but he just looked at me with a blank expression.

"He's already mad that I stayed long here when we already had plans, if I don't go and meet him now, that crow might end up doing me until I passed out and it's a pain in the ass. Literally."

Kita-san answered nonchalantly that made me remember the crow's captain that he got back together with just a few months ago. They dated years ago and broke up without us knowing the reason so I'm quite surprised when he announced to us that they're together again.

"I see. I'll send him onigiri next time for taking your lovey-dovey time." I teased that made Kita-san smiled a little, that he only does when we talked about his boyfriend.

He is still madly in love with him even after all these years that they lost contact. When I asked him the reason why he didn't find other person to love when they broke up, he said that he can never love anyone like how he loves that crow and he will stay in love with him no matter what. And that made me realize that Kita-san is really our captain. And this loving like we're imprinting thingy I guess we got it to him.

Coz we're all the same.

We love like we're imprinting but not so cunning.

Kita-san was about to go when he looked back at me as if he remembered something.

"Did you get a girlfriend or something?"

I shook my head with my brows creased.

"Well I saw a message from Aachi-chan. Earlier when I tried to wake you up. She says 'I'm tired, can you-"

I didn't let Kita-san finished and run to my room to get my phone and check if he didn't just see it wrong. I hurriedly take my jacket and keys of my motorbike after reading the message I got from Akaashi.

Kita-san looked at me with his brows knotted. "You're still sick you stupid fox! Where do you think you're going?"

"I'm picking up my mate."

"You what?!"

I smiled sweetly. "I'm making my move to make Akaashi mine. And Aachi-chan is my nick name to him."

I answered and hurriedly went out of the house leaving Kita-san in awe.

And as I'm driving to their place, I recalled Akaashi's text message.

I'm tired. Can you pick me up in this hellish state and save me?

I smiled gently.

I don't care if I'm still sick.

I don't care if it's impossible for him to see me more than a friend.

I don't care if he loves that owl.

Knowing that he asked me to save him means everything to me.

I'll take this as the chance I'm waiting to make him mine.

To make him fall for me.

My ride didn't take that long maybe because I'm too excited to see him or I just drive it a little bit faster than the usual, either of the two, I still got to their apartment safe and sound. It didn't get me to wait for too long coz Akaashi went out of their apartment a few minutes when I came.

"Akaashi."

I called his name and it's painful to see tears falling on those beautiful blue eyes of his.

"Are you sure about this?" I asked and tapped his back as he kept on crying.

I know I'm the one who asked him to come with me but I want to know if he's really sure about this decision of his.

I sighed. "Akaashi."

He looked at me and I could see the pain, loneliness and emptiness on those eyes of his when he called my name.

"Osamu."

I didn't say a word and just let him speak his mind.

"It's... It's so painful... I feel like... I'm dying..."

I embraced him and let him cry all out the pain he feels for letting go the man he's been loving for so long selflessly. We remained on that position until he calms down a bit. He pulled away a little and looked at me with his puffy eyes.

I cupped his face and wiped the remnants of tears on it.

"I can't promise you that I can make you forget the pain, but I can assure you of one thing..." I said that made him look at me with wonder.

I smiled and pinched his cheeks gently.

"When you're with me, I won't let you cry on your own. I will make you feel a genuine and outmost happiness." I said in a serious tone before I ruffled his hair and hug him once more. Letting him feel my rapid heartbeat that only him could make it like that.

"I can be your euphoria in the midst of your melancholia."
