YUZURU

A saying goes….
All you need is an idiot to destroy everything….

But if that’s not an actual saying…
No wonder I messed up…..

Here I go again… Yuzuru, died by suicide
And killed friends

One more thing is stuck to my name
That I bullied Toby

The sunlight bathed the lounge with its pale light. Yuzuru slouched on the couch, his legs on the table, pressing the remote while flashing through different channels. 

“Man… I am sooooo bored... Where did Sen goooooooo?”

He jolted onto his feet, hair flopping on his face. He ran to Sen’s room and knocked; there was no answer. He knocked again; no answer.

With stooped shoulders, he dragged himself to the combination room. He peeked in and noticed only one person. “Heya, Toby….. What are you doing?

Toby looked smiling. "I am looking at recipes..." Toby waved his phone. "I wanted to make something for Dac.”

“Dac?” Yuzuru scratched his head. “That kid is so damn rude!”

Yuzuru plopped onto the bed and glanced at Toby’s phone. “If you make something, will you let me try too?”

Toby giggled, “Yeah, sure… Um, so where is Sen?”

“Back at you. Where is Cero?”

Toby shrugged, fiddling with his shirt. “Trying his luck with Lunette.”

“Ahhh…she is hot…damn, Cero!” Yuzuru lay back, looking at Toby. “Well…at least you know where he is…. I have no clue where Sen is.”

Toby put his phone away and tapped his chin. “Maybe you could use your glowing eye power….. Dac told me you were practicing…”

Yuzuru pouted. “He must have also said I wasn’t too good at it…”

“What’s the problem?”

“When I watched through someone’s eyes…if I don’t focus well, I end up looking through any nearby person’s eyes…”

Toby smiled. “I don’t think that’s an issue… Mistakes happen..." Patting Yuzuru's shoulder. "Give it a shot.”

Yuzuru smiled and sat down, rubbing his hands. “Alright then… Let’s see where you are, Sen.”

He closed his eyes, humming softly. Lids glowing a faint gold.

Dark? Is Sen sleeping?
No...the darkness is lifting up...maybe he opened his eyes...

Slowly moving along the length of the pinkish neck, it became dark again.

What a weird view

The darkness eluded, staring at Nami’s blushing face and parted lips; a hand brushed her cheeks. The view lowered to her chest. ...

NO, NO….

Yuzuru trembled trying to end the vision; he gasped and bent down. Toby rubbed his back. “Yuzuru, is everything okay?”

He opened his eyes and saw Sen, shirtless, smirking
when suddenly Sen's eyes widened.

“AHHHH” Yuzuru jerked back, drenched in sweat; he grabbed Toby, shaking him. “They were probably doing it!”

Yuzuru let go of Toby and slumped to the floor. “I think Sen noticed me…..”

Toby sat beside him. “It’s okay… explain yourself… Sen will understand.”

Yuzuru bit his lower lip
Talk to Sen?....How?....He isn't the Sen I knew.

At dinner, Yuzuru stuffed his mouth and glanced at Sen’s empty seat. He swallowed it and took a peek at Nami. The earlier scene replayed in his mind. He blushed and shook his head.

The lounge door opened, and Sen walked in, followed by Toby. Yuzuru broke into a cold sweat seeing the two together. Sen walked to Yuzuru and whispered. “Come out.”

Did he snitch on me?....Did he tell Sen?

Yuzuru followed Sen to the far side of the garden. “What’s wrong, S-“

Sen grabbed his collar, slamming Yuzuru against the wall. “Did you use your powers on Nami?”

Yuzuru waved his hands. “W-what…?”

“Did you use your powers on me?”

Visions of her neck, her chest and her bashful face flashed before his eyes. “No…did something happen…?”

Sen stared at him and moved away. “Nothing.”

Does he know I lied...? 
But why isn't he saying anything?

He turned, but Yuzuru grabbed Sen’s arm. “Sen, what happened?”

Sen jerked his arm away, glaring at Yuzuru. “Don’t talk to me.”

Sen walked while Yuzuru stood outside.
He probably knew…
He must be hating me
He must think I am a pervert

I must make up to him....

After that, things were awkward between us

We hung out but there was a lingering silence

Then one day...

“Yuzuru… Toby confessed to Nami…”

They sat on the verandah. Sen buried his face down while frustration took over Yuzuru.

“But Nami and you… You guys have been a couple since our old world.”

“Our relationship is wavering … She says I am different now.”

Yuzuru narrowed his eyes; I couldn’t agree less.

“Maybe… and I think she finds Toby nicer than me… Toby hangs out with her a lot, too.” Sen peeked at Yuzuru.

“I never noticed… them hanging out…”

Sen hurried his head lower, “I want Toby to be far away from her…… I don’t know what to do…. I—I can’t lose her.”

I can’t believe it…. Did Toby manipulate Nami?

Yuzuru’s eyes glistened; he stood up and looked at Sen. “I will handle Toby; don’t worry!”

I might be able to fix my friendship

If I crush Toby...maybe Sen will see I am not a lying, perverted person...I am his friend
And that day I peeked by mistake

And I am sure Toby snitched on me too... This will be two accomplishments in one.

.

Yuzuru wandered down the dark, foggy hallway, glass shards crunching under his feet.
I hate myself. This Toby thing is all my fault.

He heard footsteps behind him. A flash of light swung before his eyes, followed by a ripple of piercing pain. 

“It h-hurts…”

Yuzuru fell on the floor, bleeding, panting, trembling, his vision becoming hazy. He heard footsteps approaching him; he squeezed his eyes closed. He felt a finger touch his nose.

He opened his eyes. “S-sen?”

Sen stared at Yuzuru and chuckled. He narrowed his eyes. “There you have it…that look…that face…”

“What are you saying?” Yuzuru trembled, trying to sit.

Sen banged his boot on his chest.
Yuzuru slammed back down, screaming in pain.

“You thought I did let you off after you insulted Nami…” Sen raised his scythe.

Yuzuru stared at Sen, tears streaking down his face. He tried speaking, but his words lumped.

This was my best friend...It hurts… Not the stab...rather the betrayal….

“THIS KILL IS DEFINITELY TWO ACCOMPLISHMENTS....”

Sen leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette. 
Blood dripped from his hands; looking at Yuzuru, he exhaled the smoke.

"Right, my phone vibrated earlier..."

He opened the messages, staring at them. He took another sip with a smirk.
