Chapter 17 - door

"I've got to go out to a meeting now so both of you behave, i'm trusting you not to go to crazy whilst i'm out. Goodbye."

And with that and a final kiss on Itsuki's cheek they were left alone.

Itsuki pulled Daichi by his hand up the stairs to his bed room, holding Daichi's hand in one of his own and carrying his laptop in the other.

They both entered the bedroom and Itsuki opened a door Daichi hadn't noticed before, sliding the laptop in it on the floor, then turning back to the older with a excited smile.

Daichi just stared at the door, amazed he hadn't noticed its existence before, before realising that normally a blanket tapestry thing usually was there covering it.

Itsuki was praying Daichi wouldn't ask about it when he noticed him staring at it in confusion trying to piece things together so he just stood there nervously hoping Daichi would turn away.

Unfortunately Itsuki wasn't that lucky.

Daichi decided to ask

"Whats behind that door Itsukie?"

causing Itsuki to awkwardly shift where he stood.

He thought before sounding

"Uhmm nothin'?"

not sounding confident with what he was saying.

Daichi raised his eyebrow at the boy walking closer to him causing Itsuki to look more nervous with every step.

"itsukie something is behind that door and i'm really curious. Please could you tell me?"

Itsuki looked to the door and then back to Daichi before whispering

"You won't be itsukie's fwend if I tells you..."

Daichi was slightly worried about what was hidden because of that comment, if Itsuki would have said no again he would've just let it but now he was worried.

"Why not Itsukie? Why wouldn't I be your friend?"

"B-because... Itsukie can't tell you... he don' wanna have only Granny and his teddies as his f-fwends again..."

Itsuki's bottom lip started to shake so Daichi instinctively pulled him into a tight hug and reassured him whispering

"Unless you've got a dead body back there I won't hate you. And even then depending on the story I might not. Now please don't be sad Itsukie"

Itsuki wanted to laugh at what Daichi said but in reality it only made him cry more.

Itsuki cried out

"B-but there is a dead person b-back there!"

shaking even more as he said so.

Daichi frowned at what he said wondering if Itsuki even knew what he was saying but then he realised something was different.

Someone was different.

Itsuki normally super high and childlike voice was now slightly lower and the way he spoke was differently too.

Instead of questioning it he said

"Tell me what happened Itsuki , I won't judge. Just tell me so I can help."

He didn't think their was a dead body back there since he couldn't see Itsuki hurting a fly but clearly there was some honesty in what Itsuki had said even if it was only metaphoric.
