"BAMMM..."
"THUDD"
It took me a second to realise that I wasn't the one who got hit. I looked up. Tamura was on the ground rubbing his cheeks. Standing beside him was a tall silhouette. It was Haru. Haru lent me his hand with a smile "Are you hurt Aka-tan?" He asked me. I shook my head.
"Who the fuck is he huh? Your boyfriend?" Tamura said as he got up and wiped his face with his hand.
Haru looked at him with an angry look in his eyes. "So what if I am huh?"
"Well get ready to be thrashed. My big bro is gonna hunt you down for good. You remember him don't you Matsuda, from that day five years ago?"
Tears started rolling down my hard squinched eyes. Haru saw this but didn't say anything. He hardened his fist and walked towards Tamura. Tamura was laughing even with Haru, who just punched him in front of him.
"Aka-tan," Haru said in an announcing voice. "This bastard won't bother you anymore." Saying so he grabbed Tamura by his collar and punched his face. Another punch. Another punch. After a couple of punches later, Tamura's cheeks were swollen and he spat out some blood from his mouth.
Haru at last put him down. As soon as he did so Tamura ran away. I just stood there. I was not in a state to speak anything. The afternoon sky got covered in dark gray clouds. Haru picked up my shirt lying on the ground and covered me with it. He picked up my backpack and wrapped his arms around my shoulders.
My body was trembling hard. He made me walk, leaning on him to the nearby bench with a shed. Having me seated he ran to the vending machine glowing in the front. After a moment he came back with a can of hot coffee and a bottle of orange juice. He handed me the coffee, with that precious smile he has on everytime.
Raindrops pitter-pattered on the asbestos panel above us. It soon turned into a heavy shower.
"The weather report today said it's gonna be sunny at this hour." Haru said
"How did you know I was here?" I asked him. "I sorta followed you maybe." He said rubbing his temples and shyly looking away. "I'm not a stalker just so you know. I just wanted to say sorry because I thought I said something that might've hurt you. I'm really sorr..." "It's okay." I say putting my index finger on his thin soft pink lips. "I'm thankful for what you did."
