Restore the Dream... [-chpt 2-]
February 13, Dear Diary, I lied today for the first time in a while…
The doorbell rang at Kuroyuki’s apartment as she still lie on the couch in her pajamas with a half empty Kirin beer bottles on her living room table and everywhere else and the TV still on high volume. The place was a mess from the night before from her and a friend. She tried to open a tired eye, and groaned. “Coming…” Kuroyuki said as she lazily walked to the door, scratching her head and yawning. “...Bou…” She said opening the door and glaring at him. “What are you doing here? It’s 10 in the morning Bou-kun…”
“Oh, I-I’m sorry I know I should have called first but I didn’t have your phone number so I came over~” Bou said smiling. “Can I come in?” He asked looking around through the threshold.
“Sure... but how did you get my address…?” Kuroyuki asked letting him into the house and shutting the door behind him. “Sorry for the mess, a friend came over last night and we sort of got carried away.” She said laughing a bit and then looked around. “Bou-kun, where did you go…?”
Bou was in her bedroom looking around, giving himself a tour of her apartment. He was looking at one of her bedrooms dressers when he came across a picture that had been covered up by clothes and necklaces. He picked up the picture, which turned out to be Kuroyuki and a few other guys in a place that looked to be like a backstage area. “Oh, Ku-chan is this your band?” He asked walking out of the bedroom.
She looked over to him a bit surprised. “Oh yeah, ha! You found that, that’s from about 2 months ago.” She said walking over to him and looking at the picture over his shoulder. “Yup, that’s who all you’ll be with when you start.” Smiling she walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. “Want something to eat?” She asked
“Oh, um okay. I’ll help you cook!” Bou said excitedly, putting down the picture and running over to the refrigerator. He grabbed a box of fruit and a thing of whipped cream. “Here! It’s time for me to work off all of this fat!” He said smiling.
“Oh Bou, okay. Your not fat though.” She laughed and sat it down at the kitchen table, holding a coke. “Just ‘cus your not bulimic doesn’t mean your fat Bou-bou.” She said giggling a bit at her new nickname for the man.
Bou giggled a bit as well and sat down with a soda in hand, then handed her a few strawberries and a plate and getting a few for himself. “Eh, I know I know, but still, I’d rather be in the best shape as possible for lives and such.” Bou said stuffing his mouth with a few of the red berries. He then stopped for a second. He knew he didn’t want to loose weight for that, but what was it for then…?
“Well then just eat lots of good stuff for you!” Kuroyuki then got up and went to the living room, picking up the beer bottles and throwing them away. A few pieces of glass flew out from the trashcan and fell into the counter under the sink. “Maybe we can go swimming together when summer starts up again, it’d be nice…” She said picking up the green-tinted glass and throwing it away as well.
Bou smiled and stood up. “Here, I’ll help you clean up.” He said picking up their plates and washing them. Then walking over to the living room table, he picked up the take-out trash and throwing it away with a few more of the green beer bottles. He stopped for a minutes and looker over to her, picking up some trash off the floor. Bou blushed and then looked back away and then sat down.
At that moment diary, I felt something I haven’t for a while…
“Hey, Bou, Im gonna take a shower.” She said walking standing up strait again and walking to the bathroom.
Bou blushed. “Um o-okay.” He said blushing and walking out of the bedroom where he was looking around at her bands pictures. Suddenly, he tripped over one of Kuroyuki’s huge, triple-decker boots, and landed smack on his ankle. “Gahh!’ He screamed, a few tears forming at his deep brown eyes. Kuroyuki ran out of the bathroom in a towel and kneeled down.
“Oh my god, Bou are you okay?” She asked a bit worried and tried to help him up. His ankle was twisted back and his leg was thrown against the floor in a horrible position.
“Ah! Please Ku-chan, d-don’t it hurts to bad.” Bou said putting his hand on his leg. “J-just take me home, I’ll be fine…” He said moaning trying to stand up, but falling back against the hard, wood floors of her bedroom.
“Ne, Bou just let me carry you back to your apartment, okay?” She said picking him up gently and putting him on her back and cradling his leg in her arm gently. She walked out of her apartment down the long corridor and walked up to the 4th floor to Bou’s apartment. “Bou, do you have the ke-“
“I-it’s unlocked, just let me get in and let me lay down.” Bou said moaning in pain as he laid his head on her shoulder. Kuroyuki opened the door and walked over to the couch and put Bou down gently.
Bou’s apartment was so empty compared to hers. But it was filled with old pictures of his An Café days and cute Nyappy plushes. Kuroyuki picked up one of the pictures; it was a picture of Bou and Miku hugging after one of there last lives together. “Ku-chan, would you get me and aspirin?” Bou asked from the couch.
“Oh yeah.” She said a bit surprised and walked over to the medicine cabinet in the kitchen, which was also filled with other medications and pills. “Hmmm…” Kuroyuki new Bou didn’t have any bad medical conditions. She picked up an aspirin and brought it over to Bou with a glass of water. Bou’s eyes were red from crying a bit from pain, but he took the pill and swallowed it followed by a bit of water.
“Thank you.” He said. “Will you carry me to bed, I’m tired…” He groaned. It was about 8 at night by now, which had always been late for Bou to stay up, so Kuroyuki smiled and carried him to his bedroom, a maroon room with about 50 or more pictures of him and the rest of An Café on a wall and a red bed set.
She sat him down on the bed and covered him up with another blanket and propped his leg up on a pillow. There was a little black notebook next to the bed and a lamp next to that. “Bou, what’s this?” She asked him.
“No, don’t pick it up!” He said picking himself up. He grabbed the book away and hid it under him, leaving Kuroyuki cocking her eyebrow. “Eh, I’m sorry, I-its just kinda personal.” He said closing his eyes.
She sighed and got up. “I guess I’ll go now since you’re tired now.”
Bou opened an eye and looked over to her. “Please stay here for the night.” Kuroyuki turned around and raised her eyebrows to him. “I-incase I need help getting up in the morning…” He said, a little bit embarrassed now, a red blush taking over his usually pale face.
Kuroyuki smiled. “Okay…” She smiled and laid down on the couch next to his bed and fell asleep.
I fell for her diary… -Bou
