...
"Hey Nixy~"
"Still sleepy are we...?"
"Well its time to get up Idiot, our next mission is not gonna complete itself..."
...
"Hehe look at you, Trying to protect your cousin~"
"I'm honored, the Prince is protecting me~"
She chuckled.
"Hey, once we finish this mission I'll take up on your date offer~"
...
'Then I woke up...'
"HUFF... HUFF... HUFF..."
'I woke up in the bed, naked.
I clutched my burning heart and began deeply breathing to calm my heart.'
'Once my chest calmed down I opened my eyes, my sight being blinded by the morning sun,
Tears flowing down my eyes as I breathe Rapidly...'
'The same dream...more like nightmare, again.'
'Just thinking about Her aches my heart to death... her absence... its suffocating.'
'I have everything...'
'Yet...'
'The only things that mattered are gone... I wanted to end it all, end the pain so why... Why don't I have the courage to end it?
'Is it Pride, Greed, or... Delusions?'
That answer is unknown even to myself...'
'I stood up from the bed, stretched and turned around to see the mattress soaking in sweat.
I took it off and threw it into the laundry.'
'I then went to the Closet to pick just shorts and immediately went to the kitchen.'
'At the kitchen I took out Red Meat from the fridge to cook my breakfast.
After some light seasoning I placed it on the searing pan that I pre heated.'
Once the meal was finished cooking,
Nix Ate it up while looking at his phone looking at his schedules.
As Nix scanned each letters, documents, reports, and schedules His attention was caught by something.
The 4th High School Class Reunion...
For Nix things like these should not be worth of his attention... but this Class... this very same class is what began his journey...
'I seems Yuki Enyuuka and Souzui Mizunagi are heading there too...'
Memories flash before Nix's eyes...
He remembers it, the time when he lost to his mother, and finding the only person to cling unto... his childhood friends Yuki whom he secretly liked and Souzui his male bestfriend became a couple on the same day, Nix was about to lean on Yuki for comfort but when He found out about this we was devastated...
...
Nix and Souzui eventually talked face to face...
"Hey man... im sorry... i-i"
Nix cuts him off.
"Souzui, it's ok... i also know you liked her."
'I gave him a smile'
but beneath it is grief...
"N-no man, you liked her... longer than me... but she and I..."
Enough!
Nux Snapped...
"I know it already... you two fell for temptation, its natural, you won her heart fair and square"
Souzui stayed silent, looking down with guilt in his eyes.
'Souzui is a good man, he's also handsome athletic, especially his personality... no wonder why he was chosen by Yuki...'
As Nix left He shead a drop of tear.
After that Nix disappeared without a trace...
Already shook hands with the devil...His father.
His life is now sold to the cause...
As Nix's mind returns to the present he closed his eyes.
Silence...
'Im going...'
He took a long breath and stood up, heading to the shower to empty his thoughts...
Nix has decided to go to the Reunion and talk it out with Yuki and Souzui...
...
After a refreshing bath and went to His room and dressed up with a formal outfit, A long sleeve polo, folded back tightly emphasizing his muscles, and a long back pants.
He looked at himself in the mirror his blue eyes flashing...
Nix then turned around after finishing dressing himself up and went out of his room.
'When i got out of my room A mature female maid stared at me with a blush on her face.
I ignored her went to the elevator.'
'Once I got in another brief silence followed then...'
Ding!
'It opened.'
'I walked out of the building and into the street being greeted with the bustling morning of Kyoto, Japan.
People rushing to their destinations.'
'I started to walking.
I checked the location earlier, it's only a few steps nearby fortunately.'
'As I caught people staring at me with multiple different emotions,
Awe, curiosity, and jealousy.'
'I didn't look at them because I might give a double signal...'
Nix is handsome... extremely, and that a curse and a blessing in His perspective for multiple different reasons.
...
'While walk I then caught sight of the Restaurant where the Reunion would take place.'
'As I view inside the Restaurant through a window.
They talked, shared stories as they drink, played games as they eat, and laughed as they speak...'
'I walked up to the entrance and opened the door...'
'Once I've entered the Restaurant I scanned the area, the place well kept, their cooks aren't lacking.'
'Slowly I went to the private room, and there it is...'
'My old classmates...
They probably wouldn't recognize me anymore though...'
'Upon my arrival they all saw me.'
"Hello handsome mister~"
Alice and her friends called out.
'Mizuki and her friends are the popular girl during highschool, of course in the past i was air to them...'
"Damn look at his Physique!"
Sato commented
'Ahh... Sato the cool kid everyone likes and is a natural leader, charismatic, and enthusiastic... he's one of the only people to actually not treat me like air.'
Sato then asked.
"Im sorry but what is your name?"
'I look at him for a while, then to everyone sitting in the table.'
Nix then began to reintroduce himself.
'I fake a cough before making a fake smile that i prepared to wear as a mask the entire day i was here...'
"Hello, im Nix Niedrig...'
Silence...
"WHAT! REALLY?"
Sato is the first one to react.
"YOU LOOK GOOD NIX LONG TIME NO SEE!"
He said beaming with Positivity
The rest followed.
"Wow... he was that guy on our class!?"
Mizuki commented in shock.
"Damn bro that growth sprouts hit hard~"
Yukimiya, a friend of Sato commented.
'I then gave small bows are courtesy before sitting down next to Sato but immediately some girls went to the empty seats next to me.'
H-Hi Nix long time no see! remember me?
"Ahh... you're Natsuki right?"
'Natsuki was a bookwork back then just like me, we had the casual interactions back then because of our common interests.'
Natuski's face beamed
"I-i see so you do remember me."
she said in a soft tone,
she smiled, blushed then looked down.
"You seemed to be doing well Natsuki, You've grown too."
"Hehe not as much as you..."
she replied.
Before she could continue talking with me
a batch of people who went closer to my seat me questions.
"Hey Nix How have you been?"
"Hey Nix do you have a girlfriend?"
"Hey Nix what is your workout routine?"
"Hey Nix what is your favorite sport?"
...
'I answered them calmly and with a fake smile'
"Hehe you're already so popular Nix~"
'Sato commented smiling while patting my back.'
"Haha..."
I reacted...
'After my other classmates calmed down after I satisfying their curiosity,
I looked at Natsuki and gave her a gentle smile... genuine this time... she was a true friend after all...'
'Seeing my stare and expression caused her to blush and looked down in shyness.'
"You switched your glasses for lenses..."
'I commented.'
"Ahh y-yeah, its way more convenient a-and it doesn't make me as ugly unlike when i had glasses..."
'I tilted my head to the side raising an eyebrow.'
"What are you talking about Natsuki?"
"You, ugly?"
"Dont say such discouraging words upon yourself..."
"My heart softened, my fake smile became genuine..."
"I dont want an old friend of mine to think that way..."
'After hearing my words, her brain seemed to have restarted.'
'I chuckled at her reaction and left her for a while so she could process my words.'
'I then turned to the other side seeing Sato with a teasing grin, my face poker...'
"Ha...Nix you just got back and your already melting girls' hearts, how envious..."
He sarcastically grieved.
'I gave a light chuck.'
'Trust me, it becomes a great hassle...'
'Hmph, you just dont know how amazing you look right now.
If your in a body of someone ugly, you'd curse the heavens by now after seeing your current self.'
'I leaned back on the chair, chuckling...'
"By the way Nix you just suddenly disappeared... No contact at all after highschool year, what happened..."
'At that question my mind flashed to the moments of my first cold ruthless killing, the missions i completed, then my mind went back to the present.'
"Ah no i just needed to he alone for a while and i eventually figured things out."
'I gave him a soft smile...'
"Good to hear man...Good to hear..."
"By the way Yuki and Souzui is coming late later will you talk to them?"
Sota added
'At the mention of there names my heart tightened, but I then gave smooth and calculative response calmly.'
"Ah yeah I will..."
'Lies... Im lying to myself, I mentally prepared myself knowing that they're coming but... the more i think about it the more my will falters...'
'After that Sato got caught up in a conversation and the same went to Natsuki even though she wanted to talk to me more.'
'I then looked out the window, scanning to pass time.
Then, two people, a perfect picture of a couple walked slowly, hands hooked to one another, talking with bright faces.'
'Yuki and Souzui... I was supposed go ve happy for them... by I lied... my heart still aches for Yuki...'
Nix then stood up quietly and left the restaurant without a noise.
...
"Thanks for the gift Souzui~"
Yuki's face beaming with happiness.
"Anything for your smile..."
Souzui smiled and kissed her forehead...
She blushed and Rested her head on his shoulders as they walk to the Restaurant.
They then eventually entered the Restaurant and was immediately greeted with people staring at them.
"Ayeee its the power couple!"
"Damn im so jealous."
"Hello!"
Sota Noticed them first, the rest followed.
Hey Ni-...
When he looked to his seat, He was gone... like he wasn't even there.
Yuki and Souzui took notice of Sota'd odd behavior and raised an eyebrow,
Sota looked at them then explained.
Nix was here earlier and he was he was going to greet the both of you.
"What!!?"
Yuki and Souzui's eyes widened
Nix... Their Childhood friend... a friend whom they've been trying to find since "that day."
"Where is he?"
Souzui asked Sato.
"I dont know dude he just suddenly disappeared, i didnt even noticed a single noise."
"Is he ok?"
Yuki asked concerned.
"Oh hell yeah he is, infact he's doing too well, i mean that small lad really glowed up."
Yuki and Souzui breathed a sigh of relief... but also concerned.
Their mind in chaos.
'Why did he go...'
Yuki thought...
Souzui's Heart tightened... remembering the past...
...
Back at Nix
Nix already walked far from the restaurant.
His mind empty but his heart hurting...
"In the end im still the same..."
Tears began to pour of his face but He immediately wiped them away...
Nix's thought went back to Yuki and Souzui...
He wanted to face them, because he also missed them as friends... but his burning jealous and love for Yuki is way more dominant in his heart...
What if He faced them... what then... what can he say... nothing...
Nix thought deeply as he watched down the road...
then it came...
BEEP BEEP!!!
HEY MOVE OUT OF THE WAYYYY!!!!
A truck driver screamed in Panic as he tried to stop the truck desparately but with the broken breaks its useless...
The people around looking at Nix walking slowly, looking at the ground deep in thought screamed at him
"HEY MAN GET OUT OF THERE!!!"
"ONII-SAN WAKE UP!!"
"KYAAAA!!!"
Then... The Truck's break worked again but it was already too late...
BANG!!!
Nix got hit...
