night thoughts
November 14, 2023 at 3:11 PM
The coffee shop was slowly filling with the smell of coffee. Someone came with a partner, someone sat alone and slowly sipped a mug of freshly brewed coffee. Haruki wiped the mugs, occasionally glancing into the hall, hoping to see someone familiar, but unfortunately no one came that day.
Returning home after a day of work, he saw a familiar silhouette in the distance. It was Kaji. Running up to him, the blond boy smiled warmly at his friend, and he, in turn, began to ask “how did you spend your day?”
- Well, I worked as usual. - Nakayama replied.
“I see, but I’ve been trying out the violin all day today.” - Having said this, Akihiko pulled cigarettes out of his pocket and offered them to Haruki. They stood in a dimly lit alley, smoking cigarettes and talking about the band and future concerts.
Upon returning home, they took turns taking a shower and went to bed, but at night Haruki suddenly woke up and could not fall asleep again. The guy turned to Akihiko and began to look at him. “He’s so cute when he sleeps” he thought. Only now, looking at his beloved, he realized how boring it was to be without him and how much he had missed him all day. When he looked at the door opening, he was waiting for Akihiko to walk in, not anyone else. With such thoughts, Haruki finally fell asleep.
In the morning, Kaji left on business, and Haruki stood on the balcony and the thoughts of the night did not leave him. “I love you, Akihiko,” Haruki said to himself and went to get ready for work.
