"Uke! Hello," he chimed cheerily, forgetting the rush he was in and focusing on the conversation. Apparently, he'd also forgotten that he was the one who made the call.
"Hi, how are you? Long day, huh?" Sakito didn't want to just barge in and say what he wanted to, but he had to make sure that it was still on high priority. If he forgot, Reita would find him and he'd be balls deep in a heap of trouble.
"Yeah ..." merely and plainly replied the brunette, he wasn't too good at this meeting-new-people skill thing. Moreover, he was mentally prepared to talk to someone else, so this was totally taking him off guard.
Sakito frowned to himself-- this kid was kind of... how do you say... uninteresting. He wondered what Reita saw in him, but wouldn't judge, "Hmm, this is Sakito. ...Sakito Takaguchi? Do you have a second? I think I need to talk to you." Nevermind-- he'd just cut to the chase. Oh well... he tried.
“Why would you need to … why … are you with Reita’s phone?” nervously blubbered the brunette. He really didn't do to well with this type of stress, and he was actually kind of wishing that they got to the point already.
“Hmm?” Sakito asked curiously, a playful smile coming into play, “He’s been having a tough day, so I thought I’d take off the stress a little,” he mused innocently, tilting his head. “You’ve been kind of hard on him, don’t you think...?” Sakito paused to say more, but hesitated.
Why did he have to be told anything by someone whom he didn’t even know? This wasn’t any of his business now was it? But perhaps, that is what real life friends did, they had each other’s back; though it was sort of hard for Kai to imagine Reita wanting anyone to meddle with his business. Yet here he was talking to him instead of the blond. What to do with situation? “... I do not recall having any of my friends going up to him each day he had been to me …” he impulsively blurted out, and immediately regretted it.
“Been to you?” Sakito replied immediately, almost regretting it as he did, “Been to you how? Like going out of his way to see you or bumping into each other or texting you or... webcamming?” Wait... that was Sakito getting off track again, “But he hasn’t said anything much-- it’s easy to see that he’s a little rattled from his normal swing, that’s all.”
The way he was putting it now, made him not only feel like he was the greatest scam on Earth, but it also made it so that all the tormented days he had gone through in the past week had been unreasonable. Yet he had cried all he needed to cry and hurt more than he thought he could and … wait … had this Sakito kid just said that Reita was … trying? That he was … suffering? Trying to cool his rage down, he took a deep breath and inquired as calmly as he could “... because I do not understand him to well, it easy for me to … misunderstand … and you also do not quite know me, thus misunderstanding is at the order of the day but … that aside .. since you do know him, I’ll ask you this …” he then paused contemplating on whether or not he should really ask him “... actually … never mind … nothing against you … I just really want to talk to Reita …” he almost pleaded “... we were finally starting to text nicely before you took the phone …” he then pointed out.
“Eh?” Sakito almost pouted again, “Oh, I took the phone from him after you left detention. You looked like you were avoiding him and didn’t want to look at him, so... So I took his phone.” He chuckled awkwardly and shook his head, “Why be so nice to him when Shera’s after you?” Sakito could come off as awkward and bambling in public, but he was a bit more curt on the phone-- not to mention he was still watching out for Reita in the halls.
What was this about Shera now? Were they really analyzing his behaviour around the bleach blond? Though … he supposed that the way he acted around the elder was to be consider more than friendly. but he hadn’t meant it on purpose! For one, he didn't think Reita cared, and second he was trying not to hurt Shera himself; though he knew he was going the wrong way about it. “As you said, Shera is the one after me, not vice versa …and I am being nice to Reita because he is not going after me …” he then professed, hesitantly speaking out last part, and grabbing all the courage he could muster he then added “... or is he?”
Sakito sighed his part softly, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Are we supposed to believe that...?” he was shaking his head again, “You know that Shera is very popular and doesn’t do drugs... Just as you know that Reita’s just a step above scum and... drowns himself in toxins-- the same way fish crave water and food.” Sakito stopped at that point and frowned to himself. What kind of question was that? Did Kai like Reita? … No way, right? No. No chance. He sighed again, picking his words carefully, “Reita... won’t chase you. Shera is being kind to you and makes it clear. You sit with PRIDE at lunch more often nowadays and people saw you dragged to the party last Friday with Shera holding your hand. There are a lot of eyes at this school, Kai; and even many more chattering teeth,” he sighed again lightly, still holding the bridge of his nose, “but I’m sure you’re well aware of this.” Sakito knew that he was speaking like a counselor, but Kai really seemed unaware of what he was doing.
How was he trembling? It wasn’t out of anger he was sure. It just felt very hopeless all of a sudden, as if Sakito was trying his very best to deny everything that he was, or simply give a perfect excuse to him to maybe just forget about Reita. Well he wouldn’t. “So are you saying that because Reita is a junkie, which is how you just described him, and Shera a perfect member of society, I should make the decision on whom I am supposed to love based on that? …” he began feeling quite frustrated and truthfully at this point it didn’t matter if he held back anymore “... I do not know you, so I will not make an ass of myself, but have you ever been in love before? Or anything akin to that? … cause if you had you’d know that you do not exactly get to choose. And in my case, it would have probably been much more convenient and sane as you put it to have perhaps fallen for Shera in the same way he alas fell for me … but. I. Am. Not” specified the brunette “I do not like Shera that way. I do spend a lot of time with PRIDE kids, because they are cool, and I do not mind having real friends as well. As for Reita, believe it or not, I do not give a flying shit about whether he is a saint, the devil, or a junkie … I could care less. I just like him because he is he.” Ooops … what he just said?! “... and this shows that you probably do not know how we met in the first place”.
Sakito frowned. He wasn’t quite expecting that, but what can you do? Retort like a boss. “Are you saying that you’re in love with Reita, if you don’t love Shera?” he asked airily, leaning against the wall. This was getting interesting now, though. “Do you even know what it means to love anything? I doubt you’re of age and you’re being like this? Let go of the dramatics; I don’t need to know how you met.” he frowned deeper and started to pace. This was going on a lot longer than he needed to, “You should be nicer to him.”
“What’s age got to do with anything …” Kai began angrily hissing. He’d had enough. People in the Starbucks began to look at him appalled but he didn’t care; how dare he? “Are you supposed to tell me the right time and age to switch on my emotional buttons?! Yes! I might be a drama queen, the worst of drama queens, but that is just the way I react to things, and you have no right to just jump into something, which absolutely doesn’t concerns you, and do your best to make me feel like I am such a despicable person when you have absolutely no clue about the first thing regarding me. Which, I am sure you do not care about” resignedly yelled the brunette in frustration, all the anger and desperation puring out on this poor boy named Sakito “like I even know at this point, I do not know if you are just worrying about him, or just trying to put me down, or what the hell, I have no idea! So far all I have gathered is that you do not want to understand or believe a word that comes out of my mouth, simply put, I am just not good. Telling me to be nicer to him …” he almost hysterically snickered “... I want nothing but to be nice to him, I want nothing but for things to get better with him, that’s why I texted, that’s why I was so nervously waiting for his reply randomly sitting here in this Starbucks! But … as you said that wasn’t even Reita to begin with. So how do I even know if he really wants this anyways!” he exclaimed his voice noticeably shaking “All I wanted was to talk to him, was that so much to ask?! But whatever, thanks for calling and clarifying just how highly you all think of me” with that he ended the call, and forcefully getting to his feet in front of bemused looking Starbucks crew and clients he took off, rushed towards his house, cursing himself for ever having tried to even as to think of caring about somebody. Fuck it all.
