Lost in Original von abgemeldet (First story) ================================================================================ Kapitel 5: Part One: Tempting Powder ------------------------------------ Hallo! It was some time since I had added last chapter. Now I coming with new one. I hope you like it. Here we go! Tempting Powder Kato used his all strength to fall asleep, but he couldn’t. He was already desperate. He looked at his watch. It was too long he was trying for impossible. He got out of his bed and came to a window. In the sky there were the same shining stars he had seen the night before, but this time they were much closer to each other. He sat on the windowsill and looked at them. Kira’s face appeared in his mind. Kato thought about himself. He didn’t have any reproaches. If it were other guys from their gang, he might have laugh at them, maybe he would have criticise them. But not himself. As for himself he didn’t mind. And he’d have damned incestuous love between brother and sister, too, just in case it wouldn’t have been himself. To himself he’d have been extremely tolerant. //Kira, you bastard! You’ve got dangerously close!// His own thoughts amused him. He got back to the bed. He couldn’t wait for the next morning, he looked forward for Kira. “It’s time to wake up, honey! You surely don’t want to sleep the whole day.” Kato looked at his watch. He slept just two, maybe three hours. “What’re you doin’ here? Who’s let you in?” he asked Kira, who stood next to the bed. “Your mum, who else? She went to your sister. She said she was staying there until the other day evening.” “All right. What did you say at the beginning?” “You mean that part about not sleeping the whole day?” “No. I mean how you called me.” “Honey?” “Don’t call me that again!” “Sorry. I just hoped it might’ve got you out of the bed.” “I slept only two hours, ‘cause you’ve come here and woken me up,” said Kato with reproach. “As for me I didn’t sleep at all.” “Were you reading that Baudelaire again?” “Not exactly. I was thinking of you, Yun-chan,” answered Kira with a mysterious expression on his face. “Can’t you stop talking rubbish already? I’d prefer if you brought me the breakfast into the bed.” Kato chuckled: “... Saa-chan?” “I’ve got a better idea.” Kato didn’t like the tone. “If you do not get out of the bed, I’m coming to you.” “No way!” Kato crawled from under the blanket. “What a pity!” laughed Kira and left the room. The whole gang was already gathered when Kira and Kato finally arrived. They just hanged around for some time, but at last, they went to the billiard club. Kira sat to bar and drank tequila, while other boys played the game. “Could you for a sec?” Yoji spoke to Kato, carefully watching others to make sure they couldn’t hear them. “Of course. What’s the matter?” Yoji led him a little further. “I met Bobby. That bastard’s afraid of cops, so he’s hiding. He’s sent you something.” Yoji pulled a small package of white powder out of his pocket. “He said you would be mad at him, while he’d just got lost and hadn’t left you any supply. Take it for compensation.” “Yoji... I don’t know... maybe...” “What’s up with you? It’s the first class. At least, Bobby said so. It’s really something. Here, take it!” Yoji put the package into Kato’s hand. “All right then,” Kato surrendered and shoved it into a pocket. They stayed in club until the evening. They had some duels (and Kira several drinks). Kato looked at Kira sometimes. Every time their looks met, his heart started beating, but he made what he could just to hide his nervousness, however, under these circumstances he played worse than usual. It seemed to him that Kira is pretty amused by watching his poor game. Only the small package in his pocket was making his mood worse. He needed to get rid of it before Kira would notice that something was wrong. Boys made fun of him on their way from the club. He laughed with them. As for today, he really played awfully. Kira walked a little ahead and paid no attention to them. They passed a litter bin. Kato slowed down, he wanted to get rid of the treacherous package. It wasn’t so easy as he thought. He felt like trying this “first-class goods”, he was tempted by the white powder. He’d try, just a bit. And then he’d get rid of it. //But is it worthy of it?// he thought. //What if Kira notice?// He didn’t want to risk destroying that something forming between the two of them. But it was so tempting... “Kato! What are you doing there? Hurry!” Kato twitched. He put the package back into the pocket and ran back to the others. “What were you doing there?” asked Yoji. “What? Nothing... Just thinking...” “Watch it! He thinks!” cried Yoji and roared with laughter. “Idiot!” said Kato angrily and walked ahead to Kira. “What now?” asked someone from their gang. “What’re we gonna do?” “Buy some booze and get stuck somewhere,” was the answer. Meanwhile, it got dark. “Kato and I are leaving,” said Kira unexpectedly. “What? Now?” “Right. Now.” “How come so suddenly?” “I have some work to do and Kato is going through post-traumatic shock because of the death of his father, so letting him with you without any supervision might be dangerous.” After saying these words he grabbed Kato and dragged him away. “Do you know what he was talking about?” asked someone after a while of silence. “Not at all.” “What’s that post-traumatic shock?” “No idea.” Their good mood returned after buying a bottle of alcohol.
