Rivals or Lovers? (Bloodysadist x Mitsukuni - private)

[~Mitsukuni~]

Hiroshi ran to the school yard, thinking that Ryuu would be there playing basketball with his friends as usual but it seems he was wrong… the area was empty. The young male took a stroll along the corridors, wondering where else to look for Ryuu.

 

Hiro searched everywhere and was getting annoyed about this so he decided to head back to class until he noticed a warning door was slightly open, it reads ‘Do not enter’ even though he’s not permitted to go in, his curiosity couldn’t be held back therefore he went up the stairs to observe.

 

Just as he reached the top roof a feeling of the fresh breeze around him just lifted his mood, it was no noise here, and it’s been a while since Nara felt this relaxed.

 

He gazed down and saw a familiar person sleeping. Hiroshi stood there with a huge grin on his face; there was only one way to wake that guy up...

 

“… OI KAWASHIMAAA!!”

[Bloodysadist]

When he heard his name,Ryuuta jumped from surprise.Usually no one has been going on the rooftop,but it seemed that the last place where he could relax was found.

 

Kawashima,rubbed his eyes.When he saw the familiar face of Nara,he became quite annoyed.

"Oh,it's just you Hiroshi.What do you want?" Ryuu got up,tilting his head.He started walkng toward Nara,yawning.He didn't really care why was the other there,just wanted to find a place where to fall asleep again or to go and play basketball with his friends.

[~Mitsukuni~]

Hiro sniggered when Ryuuta got a fright, it made him remember the days when they were still friends and he used to pull all kinds of pranks just to annoy Ryuu, but things have changed now…

 

“So… this is where you hide?” the pink haired male began to walk around the rooftop and admired the view of the city from afar “it’s a nice place” but knowing Ryuu, he probably couldn’t care less what Nara was saying.

 

“…Anyway our class is doing a project about japan and the teacher has made us partners… you’re stuck with me whether you like or not”

Hiro crossed his arms and kept his chin up high with a serious expression. He wanted to get the best marks in this project and hoped that Ryuu will take this seriously too. suddenly the bell rang..

[Bloodysadist]

"This is where I LIKE to stay,when I find the class for boring." It was true.Ryuu wasn't hidding or something.He wouldn't care if some teacher find him on the rooftop.Actually no one could stop him from coming here,because only here he was feeling free.

 

"So,I have to be partner with you? Tc,can't I just miss the fucking project?" the blonde haired male mumbled.The least he wanted to do now was a project connected with Japan.

Hearing the bell ringing,Ryuuta took his bag from the hround where he threw it when he came here,walking toward Nara and placing his hand on the other's shoulder.

 

"You better hurry up and go in class.We'll talk later about the project." Kawashima smiled lightly,ready to leave.It was a bit sad,because he was acting too cold,but he couldn't help it.Nara was his rival now - not a friend anymore.

[~Mitsukuni~]

After hearing the blonde male’s words, Hiroshi felt annoyed and frowned at him

“No way! If you miss this project that means you’ll fail and I won’t pass to get a higher grade either...”

 

Nara blinked a few times, was that a smile he just saw there? nah it couldnt be.. his mind must be playing tricks

“... eh sure… I’ll see you at the school gate then?” he watched as Ryuu left but something occurred to him, he had completely forgotten to apologize about that night’s incident, to be honest he didn’t think it was his fault to begin with but the guiltiness made him feel weak.

Hiro ran down the stairs after Ryuu but was too late... that guy was already gone, he shrugged and attended to the rest of his classes.

 

Finally it was time to go home; Hiroshi had to cancel his student council work due to the project and stopped by at the school gates he didn’t think Ryuuta was going to come but he waited anyway.

[Bloodysadist]

So after all Ryuu had to do the project.He sighed while walking around the school.There were still time few classes left - a perfect time to play basket,instead of entering in them.

Ryuu saw his friends and called them to play together,but they refused.There were important classes so they couldn't miss them.

 

Just when,Ryuuta was ready to leave the school ad go somewhere else,he remembered that Nara will be waiting him at the school gate.

"Tc..." Damn,was it necessary to meet with that guy? But soon or late he had to talk with him about the project.

 

Kawashima spent the day back on the rooftop.He even lighted a cigarette there,no matter that he knew it was forbidden.Finallt the last bell rang and Ryuu went at the school gate.As he expected Nara was there.

 

"Yo." the blonde haired male waved with hand.

[~Mitsukuni~]

While hiroshi was waiting, he leaned against the gate with his hands shoved in his pockets and stared at the sky, It was a beautiful sunny day, and there was not even a single clouds in the sky… it was nice to feel the relaxation which made him the closed his eyes but glanced at the side by a voice.

“Hm? Ah… about time you showed up” he softly smiled and started walking to Ryuu’s direction.

 

“Hey… I’m sorry about last night… so no hard feelings? Anyway I think we should do the project based on Hanami, since it’s much more popular and I have the feeling this will get us a top mark!”

Hiroshi’s eyes began to gleam; he all he ever cared about was being the best than anyone else.

 

“I know a great place where we could go, come on loser!”

Hiroshi started running across the street, he was too excited that he never waited for Ryuuta and waved his hands towards a café, for odd reason the young male was in a mood for something sweet.

As he entered the coffee scented building, the first thing he ordered was a chocolate cake and sit down at the nearest table by the window.

[Bloodysadist]

If Ryuu was hearing right? Nara was apologizing? It surely was funny,because of just these few words Ryuuta's day became a perfect one.But just when he was ready to start laughing,his smile disappeared.

 

"Are you crazy? To make a project about Hanami? Are you a girl? I pefer some Japanese myth instead of that shit." It seemed that after all the other still wanted to be the best - unforgetable.No matter that Ryuuta would be working with him - he would be the one who would be the best.He wasn't lanning to let anyone else to take the first place.

 

Kawashima blinked several times,finding himself few meters behind Nara.He started running finally reaching one café.He saw where Nara sat and went there sitting on the opposite place in front of the other male.

Thanks god,in the café Ryuu would be able to smoke.He took out his cigarettes and lit one,in the same time ordering Irish coffee.

 

"So,what will be topic of our project?" he asked.

[~Mitsukuni~]

“Tck who are you calling a girl!?.... bastard”

Hiroshi quietly mumbled and frowned at blonde male. He began coughing as Ryuuta exhaled the smoke at his direction; it was starting to annoy him so he leaned forward to pull the cigarette from the other mouth.

 

“You know smoking is harmful to your health also I hate the smell”

he chuck the cigarette in the trash and leaned back in his chair while crossing his arms. Finally a waiter came over with their orders; Hiroshi thanked him with a smile.

 

“The topic will be about Hanami, but if you want to do it base on some myth then what exactly do you have in mind?” the young male raised a brow at Ryuuta.

[Bloodysadist]

"Wow,wow if the students could hear you now,talking like a real hooligan." Ryuu grinned.

He got a bit annoyed when the other took his cigarette and even dared to chuck it in the trash.Kawashima grabed Nara by the shirt glaring:

 

"Who care if you like it or not?The next time don't even try to touch my cigarette." he pushed the other back,but when the waiter came he calmed a bit.

He drank a bit from his coffee,think for a bit what myth would he want to write about.

 

"The topic won't be Hanami.Like I already told you,it's too girly.As for a myth - have you even heard about Yuki-Onna?" Ryuu asked,wondering if Nara knew who was that?

[~Mitsukuni~]

Hiroshi covered his mouth and looked around the café to see if any students were actually sitting nearby, to be honest he didn’t want anybody to hear that “s-shut up, the least I want to be is someone like you”

 

His eyes widen as he was grabbed by the shirt, Kawashima’s cold glare made him nervous perhaps it was a mistake to take his cigarette. After being shoved back in the seat he quickly fixed the crease on his shirt and scowled at Ryuuta.

 

'Yuki-Onna? Hm... Sounds interesting' Hiro thought and spoke kindly “No… I have not heard of it but please tell me more”

the young male took a bite of the cake but winced in pain from his wounded lip, he really hoped that it would heal quicker.

[Bloodysadist]

Ryuuta grinned seeing how bad Nara tried to still look like a "perfect student".Actually in some way Ryuu was concedered as a perfect student from his classmates as well,because he was always on first place with Hiroshi,when it comes to studying.

"You can't be like me even if you wanted to." the blonde haired male winked.

 

"Yuki-onna - it's a spirit or yokai as many people call her.Some legends say the Yuki-onna, being associated with winter and snowstorms, is the spirit of someone who perished in the snow. She is at the same time beautiful and serene, yet ruthless in killing unsuspecting mortals. Until the 18th century, she was almost uniformly portrayed as evil. Today, however, stories often color her as more human, emphasizing her ghost-like nature and ephemeral beauty. That's Yuki-onna - the snow woman." Ryuu explained.It was way intersting than the Hanami thing.

 

Seeing that Nara was in pain made Kawashima feeling bad.He touched the others lip softly,mumbling:

 

"Sorry,it's all because of me." It was unusual and he knew it,but wasn't he the one who made his old friend feeling the pain of being beaten?

[~Mitsukuni~]

Hiro raised a brow at the blonde haired male, that wink kind of bugs him but he decided to ignore it and smirked, he couldn’t help but gave out a chuckle

“ah, but I didn’t say I wanted to be like you in the first place, did i?” an innocent smile appeared on has face and stick his tongue out at Ryuuta. All he could think of was; ‘who’s laughing now pretty boy?’

 

The young male listened to the other’s idea while looking into his eyes, indeed this legend was very interesting but a part of him felt that if he told Ryuu... would he become a laughing stock? Not matter it was worth a shot anyway.

“Hm, yeah nice idea… so… I uh, I guess we will stick to this urban legend then?” Suddenly he felt ridiculous.

 

An unexpected delicate touch from Ryuuta made Nara dazed,

“Yeah, no thanks to you” he chuckled softly but shakes his head, it was rare of him to see Kawashima feeling guilty, and he never wanted him to feel that “nah don’t worry...I’ll survive, but next time i won’t hold back to throw a kick at you” Hiroshi gave out a loud laugh.

[Bloodysadist]

"How could I forget that you always want to be the best!?" Ryyuta joked.Seeing that Nara smiled,made him happy for some reason.That was the first time from so long when they were like this: sitting next to each other,talking about something different than the usual topics.

 

Actually Kawashima got surprised when he heard that Hiroshi accepted the idea of writting about Yuki-onna without disputing.

"Ah,yeah sure,let's go with that legend." the young male nodded,taking a sip of his coffee.

 

Right now the blond haired male was feeling like an idiot.How could he be so nice in front of his rival?If someone could see him now - it'd be the most terrible thing that could happen to him today.

"We'll see." Ryuu chuckled.Of course he wouldn't let Nara hit him,or so hw thought.Was it even possible for someone to touch Ryuuta - he was wodering.

 

While the both students were talking,a sadden pain made Ryuuta to close his eyes.It was his hand - not so long ago when he hada fight with Marui that male almost broke Kawashima's hand.Thanks god that one of his fellows stopped him.Ryuu didn't go in a hospital,because he thought it wasn't that serious,but now from time to time his hand was still hurting him badly and even was interfering him when he was fighting.

[~Mitsukuni~]

Nara let out a heartened laugh about that joke and shrugged “It can’t be helped dude and just remember… There is no way I’m going to let you be the best” he grinned confidently at the other with arms folded.

 

For some reason Hiroshi felt happy to hear that Ryuuta agreed “Great! We’ll do a presentation of the project but let’s write it down first and we can look for more information on a computer! Maybe tomorrow or something um... sounds good to you?” he asked in a calm and light voice, trying to hide his excitement but the boy tried.

 

“Yeah we will see…” he nodded but realised that they should get started on the project instead of chatting, so he took out a notebook from his bag pack and began to write about their project then passed it on to Ryuuta since it was obvious that he knew a lot more about Yuki-onna than Hiro however he noticed the blonde haired male was clenching into hand with closed eyes… it seems something was bothering him,

“Hm? …. Oi Kawashima… are you ok?” the pink haired male tapped his pen against the table while staring at him with a worried look.

[Bloodysadist]

"It was long time since we talked like that,don't you think so Hiro-kun?" it was so nice to forget for a moment about everything around you.Laughing like that,talking like that,even arguing like that was nice.

 

"It's fine for me.I even can offer you to come at home?If it isn't bothering you of course." Ryuu smirked.He could see that Nara was excitement and that made him let a soft and pure laugh.

"Ne,don't forget that we are still rivals,ne?" Ryuuta chuckled,ruffling lightly his friend's hair.

 

Kawashima just took the notebook starting to write on it.He didn't want to worry Nara and actually it wasn't his problem to know what was happening with Ryuuta.

"I'm fine,let's continue." Thanks god,the pain disappeared for now.The blonde haired male sighed in relief continuing to write in the notebook about Yuki-onna.

[~Mitsukuni~]

(OOC: sorry i took ages to RP lol XDDD)

 

Hiroshi smiled as he nodded “indeed, it has been a long time an- hey! Who said you can call me ‘Kun’ huh? While raising a brow at Kawashima, he tried to hold back his chuckle.

 

“No it’s not a problem at all, so I’m coming to your place right?”

The red haired male frowned at his rival and tried to protect his hair from being ruffled

“Tsk, of course I haven’t forgotten!”

 

When Hiroshi gave the notebook to Ryuuta, he stared at the other with concerned eyes “if you say so...”

He took out another notebook and started writing about the project too; his concentration was disturbed until a waitress came over

“I’m sorry to disrupt you both but we’re closing the café soon, I’m afraid you will have to leave”

“Sure, thanks for letting us know”

 

Nara took a glanced across the room and noticed all the customers were gone; it seems it was only the two boys left. Wow can’t believe the time flied so fast, the young male thought.

“Hey Ryuu, I guess we better leave now, it’s getting late anyway” he began to pack his things away.

[Bloodysadist]

"Aww did you smile just now?" Ryuuta grinned,continuing: "I'm VIP so,I can call you 'kun',ne?" his best weapon against his friend before was when he was acting all cute and innocent,just like now. Of course Ryuu knew it wouldn't work after such a long time,but still he tried.After all he wouldn't lose anything from that.

 

Hearing what the waitress said brought Kawashima back to the reality.It was already that late! He totally forgot that he had to meet his folks soon.

 

"Ah,shit." the blonde haired male jumped from his seat,putting everything in his bag as fast as possible.

 

"I'm going first,Nara.I'll be waiting you tomorrow after school." with these words the student leaved the café.

[~Mitsukuni~]

Hiroshi eyes began to slightly widen and a blush caressed his cheeks, that fact that Ryuu saw him smiling made him feel quite embarrassment “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about dude” he said running his hand over the hair he just touched to keep his cool.

 

“Pfffft! VIP? It seems you are the one who has forgotten that we’re still rivals” the young male laughed and gently poked Kawashima’s forehead.

 

Before Nara could say anything in return, Ryuuta had already left the building. The pink haired male was blinking but then shrugged and threw his over the shoulder; a smile appeared on his lips again. He let out a small whisper “yeah, see you tomorrow… that is... If you'll show up at all” and walk his way home.

[Bloodysadist]

"How cute he is." Ryuuta grinned.Was really that cute all this time? No wait,what was he exactly thinking? When did he start finding guys cute?He was too tired.That was the reason for sure.

 

The cafe wasn't far away from Kawashima's place.so he shouldn't have to worried about trains,metros and things like that.While he was walking down to the street he felt that someone patted his shoulder.

 

"Ahaha did you-" the blond haired boy thought it was just Nara,but instead of that he just saw a grin - scary grin and then he lost consciousness.

Not so long he woke up,but where was he? He could feel his pants were all wet,because on the ground had water.Also it was so dark that he was barely seeing something.

 

"Well,well what we have here?!" that voice.Was it passible?Marui?

Ryuuta lifted lightly his head and saw his face.That guy was so annoying.From a month he was trying to catch Ryuu,because he wanted to finish his work with him.

 

"Ah,it's just a rat." Marui continued,hitting Kawashima few times.

 

"Ahahaha,boss you're the best." one of people said,handing iron pipe.

 

"You know,dear Ryuu.."Marui lifted him up,squeezing his shirt. "..I wanted to see you so much.." the male lighted a cigarette. "..but you were always managing to escape." Marui lifted the pipe. "Don't worry,I'll finish soon."

 

Was that really the end for him?Ryuuta chuckled.He couldn't imagine how pitiful he was looking.Only if he wasn't in that condition.Only if he could change the roles.

 

"You are smiling at time like this?You surely are insane,Ryuuta." Marui commented.After a second he hit with all his strength Kawashima's right arm. It was the same arm that was hurting him all this f*cking month.

 

The student fell on the groupd screaming from the pain.It indeed was painful,no matter how hard he wanted to hide it.He was feeling dirty,even started to shiver,because he was all wet now.Of course Marui didn't stop here.He started kicking Ryuuta while he was on the ground.It seemed like he was having fun.

 

"Y-yo-u..a-re i-n-sane no-t..m-e." these were the only words that Kawashima managed to say.The pain was raising with every second.No one till now could even touch him,but this guy - he wasn't human at all.

 

"I'll pretend that you said something nice,because other way - I'll just kill you." Marui smiled,throwing his cigarette on the ground and stepping on it.

[~Mitsukuni~]

As Hiroshi was on his way home, it suddenly started to rain heavily, causing the boy to sigh with disappointment; he didn’t have anything to keep himself dry. He shivered from the cold air and shoved his hands in his pockets; Looks like autumn is coming...

 

While walking along the small street; the night grew darker and the rain wasn’t as bad as before, Nara stopped and realized that he has forgotten something, he wanted Ryuu’s number or even his email just to keep contact with him until the project was finished, he felt it was necessary to go back but his thoughts were snapped when a late night jogger approaching him at a quick pace. Nara stepped to the side to allow the jogger room, hoping that he didn't pass any puddles when the two finally crossed paths. The jogger slowed as he passed, nodding to the young male and looked ahead, quickening his pace a bit.

 

"Excuse me; do you know what time it is?" Hiroshi called out and the man stopped, turning back as he lifted his arm to check his wrist watch. "It's 10:50." The man replied. The pink haired male didn’t think how late it was already, perhaps it was better to ask for Ryuuta’s number tomorrow, “Thanks" he smiled at the jogger, moving away quickly to his home.

[Bloodysadist]

"What are we gonna do now?" one of Marui's folks asled,walking toward Ryuu and kicking him once.

 

Marui immediately glared at the male,grabbing him by the shirt and throwing him to the nearest wall.

 

"Who told you that you are allowed to touch him,ehh?" he shouted,seeming really angry.As he was standing next to Ryuuta,he just stepped in his wounded hand,making the student scream from pain.

 

"I want to hear more of this sweet voice of yours,you know?!" the male grinned,his foot still on the other's hand.

 

After few seconds a police siren could be heard near the place where was Marui's band.Someone called him?No,it couldn't be possible,right?Then someone saw them? It didn't matter now,Kawashima saw a light in this dark tunnel that he was in.Someone was gonna save him.

 

"Let's go.If they find us.." Marui said,seeming like he totally forgot about the boy.His band leaved as soon as possible,don't leaving a trace they were there - or so they thought.

 

"--ta..--uta..RYUUTA!!!" Who was calling out so loud his name?The blond haired male saw some familiar shoes.

 

"Dad?" he blinked several times.So the one who saved him was his father? What a surprise.

 

"Come on,let's go in the hospital.Your hand seems to be broken." his father didn't even wait for Ryuu to reply.He lift him from the ground and walking him to the car,laying him carefully on the seat and going to the nearest hospital.
