How to Mend a (Broken) Heart [Nozomi]

It felt all kinds of awkward doing this, but he couldn't say it wasn't necessary. It's been a few days.

A few days Hyde died.
A few days he's been mourning.
A few days since the funeral.
A few days he has not spoken to Nozomi.
A few days Shunnosuke didn't even bother to check if there were messages by Nozomi in his cell phone. He wouldn't be surprised if there were some and, out of no responses, the guy stopped sending them. Reasonable, but equally sad.

Whether that was the case or not, Shunnosuke didn't bother to check. He didn't want to read anything that would drag his mood down even more. Instead, he had just sent one message to Nozomi, out of his confused feelings of guilty and loneliness. They were dating now, it's natural that he felt the need of his company and, at the same time, he owed Nozomi a few explanations, about everything... And about himself. As well as he owed him a "thank you".

"It's been a while, yes. We need to talk. I'd appreciate if you could come to my house."

The address was sent shortly after, Shunnosuke holding his cellphone against his chest and throwing the weight of his tiny body onto the bed. Waiting. Apprehensively waiting.

Nozomi had already been on his way to shunnosuke's house after the whole downfall thing...It'd been a few days and to be honest. He was getting really concerned for shunnosuke's well being at this very moment.Was he ok? The boy hadn't even messaged him or anything about whether or not he was even alive. That drew the Kichida's concern even further.

As Nozomi would get a message suddenly on his phone that he didn't expect. From shunnosuke himself?Finally....Guess that confirmed he was something close to being alive at least. He would quickly go on to actually reading the message. Though... He didn't have much he could express over the phone and instead as a matter of fact would prefer to express his true feelings and concerns for shunnosuke in....Person.

Oh we definitely need to talk...Don't worry.I was already on my way.The Kichida would send and quickly slip his phone back into his pocket as he would maintain his pace to the Kurosawa's house. There wasn't any time to waste.

Shunnosuke frowned slightly upon the answer received. Good. He wondered if he was interrupting Nozomi in any form, but by the looks of it, it was not the case. Better this way, he really needed the attention right now.

Leaving the device over his desk, Shunnosuke proceeded to take a bath in a while. Everyone who knew him from a deeper extent knew that Shunnosuke's bath meant he'd be there for a while, due to his extensive care for his general appearance. In this case, however, he just needed to relax. Breathe. Think. A lot of things and thoughts going in his mind...

Nozomi had rushed certainly with great Precision over to shunnosuke's House regardless of whether or not he had time to waste. Then again he really di not. As by the time Nozomi had done arrived at Shunnosuke's doorstep. He was pretty much fully exhausted...As he arrived at shunnosuke's Doorstep and would ring the doorbell about 2x before also sending Shunnosuke a message that he was there.

"Hey. I'm here"

Shunnosuke couldn't have listened to the cellphone's vibrating warning due to him being lost in his thoughts. He gathered some water in his hands, throwing it at his face repeatedly, trying to rub off the anguish. "What's wrong with me?". He knew cleaning his face wouldn't shake the feeling off, and yet he kept trying. The mirror kept showing the truth, he looked like a mess for quite some time by now...

In any way, he left the bathroom, wrapping a pink robe around himself and putting on a fluffy pair of slippers. Normally the teenager would want to be properly dressed to welcome a special guest, but he didn't even have enough will to that.

The cellphone kept ringing. A message from Nozomi. His heart started beating faster. It was time to face him...

[...]

Meanwhile, downstairs, one of the maids would open the door and welcome Nozomi with a polite and large smile. She had previously been aware that the heir of the Kurosawas was waiting for some guest and therefore cleverly assumed this young lad to be the one. With a gentle gesture, she would allow Nozomi to enter the living room, closing the door shortly after and directing herself to the kitchen, sticking to her former duties. If he decided not to, she would just ask for a bit of time and, either way, announce Shunnosuke would come down anytime, leaving the guy be. Whatever's Nozomi's decision, he'd get a glimpse of the living room: ostensible furniture heavily decorated by glass, silver and porcelain ornaments such as little statues and teapots as well as teacups, modern and large devices such as home theater, a bright chandelier illuminating the environment, and a dark wooden piano in a corner...and Shunnosuke, finally, at the stair. He had a lost look on his face, gazing at Nozomi silently. What was he to say, after all?

"..."

Nozomi was beyond impatient at the doorway at the moment. He was nervous,he was tense. Scared maybe even adn at the same time,concerned, worried and probably ten other different emotions at this very point. What was he going to say when Shunnosuke opened that door right there?The kichida had thought of all of this to the point where he got at the Kurosawa's house. Except er.....

He just didn't know what he'd say. Then again Nozomi was always an improvisor. Guess it ran in the family right? As suddenly the door would open with Nozomi being caught speechless at the sight of....Not shunnosuke.Who would then seem to direct Nozomi into the living room. Man. This place was pretty damn fancy. It was really a shame that....

He had to come here on such a terrible occasion.As Nozomi walked in. Noticing shunnosuke looking at him from the stairway. Man. Guess he just came out of the bathroom or something. As Nozomi began to walk up the stairway.

Hey...Shunnosuke.He would say a bit nervously as he would continue walking torwards him unless indicated not too or urged away fromh im.

Shunnosuke remained in silence, gaze shifting from Nozomi's face to the kitchen's entrance, to the door closed behind his boyfriend. Nobody at home but them and the maids, which was a good thing. His grandfather wouldn't approve his date with Nozomi at all. Not only because he's a man, but...he expected Shunnosuke to match with someone of his level. And here is Shun, directly defying the authority of his grandparents by bringing the exact person they wouldn't allow to his house.

— ...hi. It's...good to see you... — He said in a low tone, voice somewhat insecure. It was indeed good to see his familiar face again, but...that's not even half of his emotions in this moment... Shunnosuke definitely looked gloomy, a hollow shell of the once so haughty, high and mighty teenager. — Suit yourself and make yourself comfortable. If you want something, I can ask Dorothy to prepare a meal if you desire so. If not, then... — He turned his back hastily, preparing to go to his bedroom upstairs, only to turn again and face Nozomi once more. — ...Come with me. Walls have ears...

Guest

Once Nozomi began to walk torwards Shunnosuke and close the distance between the two. Though he had a few gestures he was going to preform. He figured hey. Wait until they got to the Kurosawa's room or somewhere privater right?Didn't want to rush anything right now. Especially with how...Emotionally fragile shunnosuke was at the moment.

It's great to see you Shunnosuke. I...I'm already comfortable with you right now actually.Then there was the desire to go upstairs it appeared. With which Nozomi would follow Shunnosuke upstairs. Certainly~

So be it. Nozomi appeared to want to go straight to the point. Likely it's better this way. Shunnosuke would say nothing in response, turning back and climbing the stairs back to his room. The walk of course wouldn't take long enough, and soon they both would find themselves in front of the teenager's room. Shunnosuke remained staring and the door knob before actually opening it and freeing the way for Nozomi to get in. It was a room as spacious as the Kichida would imagine, with a very, veeeery large closet, a desk with a variety of beauty accessories and products, another desk with a number of books, a bedroom as large that could be confused as a couple bed rather than a single one, an enormous glass door that leads to a large balcony, with a large view to Penecia's neighborhood. By that point, "large" seemed to be the top-tier word to define everything inside Shunnosuke's house. Once they were both inside, Shunnosuke would close the door, standing still...leaning his forehead against the cold wooden surface. The easiest part was bringing Nozomi in, ironically. Now, the hardest...

Guest

Upon entering the room. Nozomi wouldn't. He wouldn't say any words to shunnosuke beyond.

Honey...

As the Kichida would embrace shunnosuke. Comforting him right now. He wouldn't have any fancy words for him.No flowers or choclates or romantic movies like all the cliche bullshit that goes down. He didn't possess any of that. No fancy suit. No fancy Dinner. Nothing. The only thing he could give to shunnosuke now was what any good boyfriend in the world would give. His love.

That was all that mattered right now to him. Making sure shunnosuke understood his affection for him and that he was there as a consoling person. Shunnosuke.... Come on.....Say something please.. I just... I'm worried as hell about you. I can't...I can't help you if your quiet.

Shunnosuke let Nozomi embrace him, still saying nothing. He get it that the other was worried. He should be. But....what would Shunnosuke say? How was the blonde going to say he finally made up his mind? He'd finally move out. That was...hard. He breathed heavily, a mechanism of holding down his tears and anxiety he felt coming right away.

— ...I know... — He closed his eyes, not offering any resistance to Nozomi's display of affections while still pondering on how to introduce the topic. The teen needed it, in a repeated behavior of inhaling and exhaling hard, followed by opening his eyes again and facing the wooden texture ahead of them. — Do you have any questions...? — About the meeting with Mother, the glimpse of Hyde's image... About Shunnosuke's hurt reaction. Any questions. If Nozomi had them, now was the time for them to be completely true to each other.

Guest

Questions....?I dont...I don't want to pry to uncomfortable extents Shunnosuke....He would say still embracing the blonde. There sure as hell was no way that Nozomi was going to be letting go any time soon. Especially given now where shunnosuke required the kichida the most. Would he really let go? I have one....If it doesn't sting please....Who was that guy exactly?I never really....Knew him,but that didn't stop me from crying for his sake or trying to do well....Anything about what was going on at the moment.He really....Well....Nozomi didn't know this guy at all.

Though that didn't stop Nozomi from being. NOZOMI RIGHT?He was Nozomi kichida. Caring about others even if he didn't know them. Essentially the boy that they all saw didn't really seem like a bad person either if a large majority of the people there were breaking down over him as well.They probably knew him.

He didn't want to pry...but he should. Now was the time for it. Shunnosuke didn't invite Nozomi over for nothing. However, he had to admit, if Nozomi didn't want to ask anything even though Shun was giving this one-time opportunity, it'd make things easier on the blonde's side.

— ... — He took a deep breath before thinking on how to answer without having a breakdown. It did sting, because it was directly related to memories, both the many memorable moments they had, and the final revelation of him passing away. — Hyde... He was a friend, and an user like us. We were classmates, we've been fighting shadows and trying to save Azores for over one year... — A brief moment of silence, one more heavy breath. Should he really refer to Hyde as a friend? It sounded like an understatement, otherwise Shunnosuke wouldn't be so shaken for days about his death. He was more than that. Far more than that, and most people didn't know it. — After Zela was shut down due to the sand issue, I invited him to live with me. His room was right next to mine. Then...one night, he left saying he had something to do, and that was the last time I saw him...until that day... — His voice was starting to fail, trembling as the fuzzy, blurry flashes from that night came to his mind, all at once. The glimpse of Hyde's face, the realization he died in some unknown way Shunnosuke never knew.

Nozomi would fully allow shunnosuke to say everything that he needed to say before well.... Keeping his embrace. However as shunnosuke began to finish his sentences. He would presumably pick up the blonde and move the two of them over to the bed. Mostly because Nozomi really did not want to stand up the entire time as well.Huh.... Hyde. So he was a really close person to you.... Man. I really wish I knew what to say in this situation shunnosuke you know? I.....

I don't know. I didn't know this guy but I can feel your pain to some extent at the same time,and frankly everyone elses pain at that moment. I could see the tears and feel my own flowing out of nowhere. I'm....Sorry I cannot sympathsize better with you shunnosuke. The only thing I can give you at the moment is.... My affection and sympathies to your loss at the moment.These were his words as he maintained his embrace with shunnosuke.

— ...! — It's not a surprise that Nozomi didn't know what to say. Most people don't. "I'm sorry", "he's in a better place", "he'a resting" aren't things you should say to console someone. At least Nozomi didn't pull any of these overused stunts on him, he opted to be honest and speak from his heart. Shun did nothing, but lean his head on his shoulder, keeping his silence for a little longer. — I... Thank you. — He didn't know much to say; not without falling into a emotional moment of compulsive weeping. — It's over now... I just wish I had been there when he... — Another deep breath. "When he died". That was by far his biggest regret. In any way, he stayed in the position for a little while, until the will to cry diluted itself gradually. That's when Shunnosuke lifted his head, revealing a very sad, apathetic and apologetic expression. Fidgeting as if he was ashamed of showing what could count as a weakness. — I'm sorry, you didn't have to see that. There's no use for me to dwell on it either. He's gone... That's...life.
