Jun opened his chest, inflating his ribs, with closed fists, held breath.
He was staring at the climber millimeters from Haruki, from across the room.
Haruki immediately came between the two, as Saito had recently undergone surgery and was needing the support of a cane to walk.
"Who called you here, Jun? What did you come here for?" His ex-boyfriend's petulance made him grunt.
Jun ignored Haruki, his target was the birthday boy. He spoke through his teeth,
"Saito, it's the last time I warn you. Get away from Haruki, you pervert."
The climber bypassed Haruki, extending his arm so the singer would stay behind him. He stood up for combat, legs on a wide base, hands with fingers outstretched and joined, waiting for the rival to come over him.
Saito's silence made Haruki understand that for his part, the dialogue was over. And his posture was a clear provocation to Jun.
