Chapter 16
Aiba Masaki. 23 years old. Today it was his last day as a university student. Today he would get his diploma as a veterinarian. He could feel the first rays to call his eyes to open but he stubbornly refused to do so. He was enjoying so much the warm bed that he really was in no mood of getting up early.
Loud barks were heard in the room as an enthusiastic Bobo-chan came to say good morning.
“Bobo-chan, stop it…” He looked at his phone screen. “It’s 7 o’ clock… already?! And you Bobo-chan please stop being so loud!” Masaki whined but the dog showed no intention to stop barking happily.
“I start having doubts whether you will be a good veterinarian or not if you can’t have the control of your own dog...”
Masaki took his pillow and threw it with force on the face of the lying figure next to him. “Sho!”
Sho then opened his eyes and sat up. “Bobo-chan, good morning!” surprisingly the dog stopped barking at once and left the room once he licked both Masaki’s and Sho’s hands. He then turned to Masaki. “And you… That’s how you say good morning to your boyfriend huh?!” his tone was hurt but Masaki knew well it was fake.
“Perhaps you should have considered going to drama school… you seem talented…” Masaki said pouting and turned his head the other way to avoid his boyfriend’s gaze.
He felt two arms wrapping around him and soft kisses on his neck. “Ok… ok… I take it back… do you forgive me?”
Masaki smiled and replied in a really low voice. “Of course I forgive you… Sho-chan”
He was then pulled into a kiss making him fall back on the bed. He knew that he might not be able to resist and tried to make the other stop. “Wait Sho-chan… we have no time for that…”
Sho looked at him a bit disappointed. “We do have time for a quickie…” he kissed softly the birthmark on Masaki’s left shoulder. “Your graduation ceremony is in three hours…”
Masaki put his hand on top of Sho’s mouth to forbid him kiss him. “That’s exactly why we have no time and I thought that it was enough last night… I don’t intend to go to my graduation limping because of you mister!” he kissed Sho’s cheek and got off the bed quickly. “Besides… there’s always the night ahead of us right?!” he sent a ‘Masaki style’ wink and headed to the bathroom to take a quick shower.
Sho leaned on the back of his bed smiling. He took his phone and saw Satoshi’s text.
Masaki’s graduation
Me and Kazu will wait for you at 9:15 in front of the main
entrance of the campus. Hurry up! J
After replying to his friend he turned his head to the window. The view was not the best one but for him it was beautiful. It was the one he could see along with Masaki... in their apartment. It seemed like yesterday when he had asked Masaki to be his boyfriend… How will he ever forget the anxious face of his when they were studying till late in the library in order to be able to pass the exams for their universities. How will he ever forget the glowing from happiness face of Masaki when he saw his code in the list of Todai’s successful candidates... How will he ever forget the surprise party Masaki organized when he passed the exams of Keio University…
It’s not like they had passed a little. He and Masaki still visited Tsuyoshi-sensei but less frequently. The nightmares of the past seemed to fade away day by day. It was four years ago that he was able to change his name back to Yokoshima Sho and destroy Sakurai Shun once and for all. His happiness when he saw his stepfather’s face on national TV due to the revealed scandals was more than satisfying for Sho. A part of his dark past was officially over and he felt as if he was reborn. His father was able to rebuild his life and find a stable job with the help of Satoshi’s father.
He had achieved a scholarship but still they both worked part time jobs to be able to pay the rent of their small apartment. It wasn’t more than three months ago that he had found his first job as journalist in a small newspaper. It wasn’t something big but it was certainly a start. They were still obliged to remain in this apartment that was perhaps more suitable for one person. Located in a quite poor neighborhood, the apartment block was really old, making Sho be really disappointed when they had first come to see it, two and a half years ago. He simply wanted the best for Masaki and he was determined to give it to him. But when he saw it with Masaki’s eyes it could turn into a small palace.
“Sho-chan, don’t be like that! Come with me!” he grabbed Sho’s hand and made his way into the small empty apartment. “Do you see over there?!” he said pointing at the small kitchen. “There I will be able to cook delicious food for my love… Imagine our bed over here” he said as they walked into the small room that seemed to be the bedroom. “…where we can pass all our lazy days together buried under the blankets with Bobo-chan barking around the place… and here…” Masaki brought him to the part of the apartment that could be meant it will be fun to sit around the small table that we will have in the middle enjoying a beer with Satoshi-kun and Nino-chan…”
And Masaki was right. It was indeed a small palace… their small palace.
“Sho-chan, where were you travelling?!” Masaki asked waving his hand in front of Sho’s face bringing him back to reality. “You should hurry… Take a bath while I’m making breakfast. I don’t want us to be late… It’s really important to me!”
Sho smiled and stood up. “Your wish is my command!” Sho said softly and pecked Masaki’s lips before entering the bathroom.
……………………………………
“Please, let us call the student Aiba Masaki, representative of the student board, for the closing speech of this ceremony” the dean said once all the diplomas were given to the graduate students.
Masaki stood on the podium and with a slightly trembling voice he started speaking. “Thank you Akida-sensei.” Masaki cleared his throat a bit. “I have to say that I remember as if it yesterday when I first came to this campus. Everything was new to me. I was equally excited and scared of this new phase of my life. All these five years that I’ve spent in this university, the professors helped me not to get frustrated, not to get disappointed. It was an amazing experience and I can say that a part of who I am today was formed here.
It was my dream to become a veterinarian since I was a kid and I always thought that it would remain a dream. Thankfully, there were people around me who reminded me that it’s up to me to make my dream come true. If it wasn’t for them, I don’t think I would be standing here today among all of you”
Nino was crying silently holding tightly Satoshi’s hand as he was listening to Masaki’s speech. He was way too happy to see his friend there, but more accurately he was proud of him; proud that he was able to overcome all the difficulties and focus on his future. Satoshi just squeezed his boyfriend’s hand; he knew well how sensitive Nino was, despite the fact that he kept on denying it. Sho, on the other hand, was smiling trying to blink away the tears of joy that insisted on being formed in his eyes.
“… They say that you can’t change your fate. I say no. It’s you who determine your life. Even if you make three steps forwards and two backwards, it’s ok… you’re every time one step closer to your dream. No matter the difficulties you have to remain focused on this dream. Then, you will definitely achieve it. I would like to close this speech with the words of one person precious to me that couldn’t be here today. It’s your life. You have to live for yourself. Thank you”
Everyone applauded as Masaki get off the podium. Today, it was one of the happiest moments of his life although his mum was kilometers away. She had been in a special recovery program in Okinawa. The doctors seemed positive that they could restore her voice and become independent. Yes mum… I promise you I will cherish my life…
…………………………………………….
“This looks fashionable! Would you like to sit here?! I’ve read so much lately… please….” Masaki said enthusiastically pointing at a modern café ‘MITJ’. It was mentioned as the new ‘hot spot’ in Shibuya. Between modern and classic, this café was recommended by many magazines.
“It’s your day; you’re the one who decides!” Sho said and kissed him on the cheek.
It had a minimal decoration in which the dominant color was purple. They sat in a round table for four in the left corner near the window.
“It’s real leather” Nino said as he examined their seats.
“Yeah… it looks luxurious…” Masaki said looking around.
“It’s inspired from Europe. It’s been only 6 months that Matsumoto-san came back from London. Are you ready? Or you want me to come later to take your order?” the waitress said as she left a bottle of water and four glasses on the table. There was a moment of silence.
Masaki caught with the corner of his eye a slim silhouette. Jun… he stood up and headed slowly towards the standing figure, who still had his back on him.
“J- Jun?” he asked reluctantly.
The man turned around slowly. Masaki’s eyes filled with tears.
“JUN!” Masaki hugged him tightly crying.
“Masaki-kun… hmm… I can’t breathe…” Jun said in a low voice.
Masaki didn’t show any trace of letting him go. “Why did you leave like that?! I wanted to talk to you… I… I…”
Jun smiled and rubbed Masaki’s back. “I’m sorry… but I needed some time to figure out what I’m going to do with my life…”
“I believe you found it…” it was the voice of Ikuta Toma as he came closer to Jun and Masaki. Soon everyone was standing around them.
“Don’t tell me that…” Nino said loudly pointing at the rings in their hands.
Both Jun and Toma smiled shyly. “Yes… it’s been almost two years since we’ve been married”
“But can you get married like for… real?!” Nino asked while frowning.
“Well in England you can!” Toma said smiling and wrapped his arms around Jun.
Nino’s eyes bulged at this and grabbed Satoshi’s hand. “Did you hear that Toshi?! We have to go there as well…”
“Did you just propose to me?” Satoshi asked trying to suppress his shyness.
“Maybe…” Nino replied in a low voice just realizing what he had said carelessly in front of everyone.
“Hmm… Are you sure you want to spend the rest of your life next to an ambitious painter?!”
“You might not be the most talented one” Satoshi’s stare became deadly cold at the hearing of that but Nino ignored it. “…but you give your soul in everything you paint… I can live with that…” he landed a soft peck on Satoshi’s cheek.
“Well thank you for your compliment” Satoshi said shaking his head.
“Anytime!” Nino said mischievously and leaned his head on Satoshi’s shoulder.
“So are you here to stay?” Sho asked Jun trying to refrain himself from commenting on Satoshi and Nino.
“Yes… I had enough of Europe… I really missed Japan. We opened this café in Tokyo and hopefully we will open more…”
“So we will be friends again right?!” Masaki said, with hope clearly shining in his eyes.
Jun looked at Sho, then back at Masaki and afterwards at Toma.
“I really hope we do see each other since you came back…” Sho said smiling.
“Yes!!! Sho-chan is right!!! We have to see each other! Jun-chan please!!!” Masaki said clapping his hands.
“Masaki-kun you really haven’t changed…” Jun said as he tried to muffle his laugh.
“Of course he has… now he’s an airheaded veterinarian… oh...! And Sho-chan’s one of a kind teddy bear!” Nino’s comment caused everyone to burst into laughs including Masaki.
“Of course… I would be happy to see all of you if you want me… I mean… it’s because of you that I became human again… We can exchange numbers and go for a coffee, a drink perhaps all together… What do you say To?”
Everyone exchanged glances but said nothing.
“You don’t even have to ask J!” Toma said looking straightly into his husband’s eyes. “I want to get to know to your friends!”
“They’re not…”
“We are glad to know our friend’s husband as well…” it was Sho the one who spoke. Masaki looked back at him smiling.
“It is as Sho-chan said. You are our friend Jun-chan… and I really hope that Toma-chan will become one as well!”
Jun smiled looking at everyone be so happy. He looked at Toma, his own source of strength and happiness, nodding at him reassuringly before returning his gaze at the others. Perhaps now my life is really complete…
………………………………………….
“Look Sho-chan! Sakura has blossomed… isn’t it beautiful?!” Masaki said as they were walking side by side heading back to their apartment. “Oh my God! Look!” he took two small flowers that had landed on Sho’s hair because of the air.
Sho looked at them for a moment and took them in his hand just to throw them down.
“Sho-chan…” Masaki left Sho’s hand and ran to the flowers taking them back in his palm. “What are you doing?!”
“Masaki… it’s because of this sakura that I made your life a torture… I just can’t…” Sho said trying to suppress those feelings.
Masaki kept his gaze locked in his hand. “You know something Sho-chan?! I feel that I owe to sakura…”
Sho looked at him confused.
“It was because of the sakura that I met you… it was because of the sakura that we are now together…”
Masaki met his boyfriend’s eyes. “It’s because of the sakura that I feel a complete person… it’s because of the sakura I can truly say I love you…” he put the small flowers in his pocket.
“What are you doing there?!”
“What does it look like?! I’m getting them with me… I will have them framed and put them in our living room!”
“But this way they will always make us remember the past…” Sho said in a really low voice looking at the ground.
Masaki took his hands in his. “You’re wrong Sho-chan… The ones of the past don’t exist anymore. These will represent our future. We can name them Mirai no Sakura… the Sakura of the future… of our future…” Masaki caressed Sho’s cheek and leaned closer and pecked his lips.
Sho looked around at all the sakura trees that were around them. “… of our future…” For some reason Masaki’s words seemed so right. He looked at his boyfriend’s eyes. He pulled Masaki into a sweet kiss as he wrapped his arms around him bringing him closer. You’re right Masaki… It IS our future!
