„Is this her?“ asked (Aragaki) Yui next to him. Yui was the first friend he made in Sapporo, the city he moved to after leaving Nagoya. And now, after 8 years, he treated her like his little sister.
„Toda Erika was her name, wasn't it?“ asked (Hiraoka) Yuta on her other side. Ryo's other good friend he made shortly after arriving in Sapporo.
„Yes, its her“ he smiled bitterly at the woman sitting in the cafe.
It had surprised him when they told him, they would like to go with him on his little trip. Yuta had said, he wanted to gain working experience in a hopsital here, since he was going to be a doctor in the future and Yui just liked travelling a lot. They decided to move in together in a small flat that would be their home for this spring.
„You really don't want to talk to her?“ Yuta asked with a sad expression on his face.
Ryo shook his head. He had made his decision and he didn't want to regret it, if he went against it.
„Let's go to our flat first and move in properly“ suggested Ryo in order to change the subject.
He two others sighed and nodded. They didn't exactly like unpacking the luggage, but well, they didn't have a choice, did they?
They started moving towards their apartment building. Without turning around to take one last look at her he left, fearing he would turn around and ask for her forgiveness. Without Realizing that she was looking their way.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Erika looked at her wristwratch, tapping her feet annoyed on the floor. She was waiting for her boyfriend Matsuda Shota, who wasn't very reliable when it came to being on time. But they've been together for almost two years now, so she didn't care that much about it anymore.
She took a look through the cafe and saw a young couple fighting. From what Erika heard it sounded like he had lied to her about his workplace. At another table there were four High School Girls talking to each other quietly, probably about boys and clothes. On the right side of the cafe two boys were checking out the girls sitting in the cafe...
Since there wasn't anything interesting inside the cafe, she gazed outside the window. It was almost the same outside. She could see People walking busily down the street, a couple kissing in a narrow street, two woman jogging and some kids playing with a ball. Nothing particularly interesting.
That was till something caught her attention. Three young people were walking down the street. And one of the heads looked similar to someone, she hadnt seen in a long time.
„The one in the middle looks a lot like him“ she thought to herself tilting her head a little to the side. But then she shook it. „He wouldn't come back. He wouldn't dare. I'm sure he knows what Yamapi and I would do to him if he ever ...“ she trailed off. She knew she was lying to herself. She could never be angry at him if he returned to them. She would be really happy and wouldn't question a thing, afraid to loose him again if she pressured him to much.
„I'm sure he has his reasons“ she said quietly to herself, thinking back to the day Hiroki, her and Yamapi's roomate, had come back from one of his Photography trips.
Erika and Yamapi were sitting in the living room of their shared house when the door opened. They looked at each other briefly and then smiled brightly. Hiroki had been on a trip for four month. Travelling around, taking photos and getting to know many new people. It was a wonderful time for him, they knew that much from the postcards he sent.
The went to greet him excitedly after being apart for such a long time. A few minutes later they finally got him to go to the living room and sit down there, so that he could tell them everything about his trip and show some of his photos.
They did just that. For hours they sat there, talked about the places he had been to and looked at a lot of beautiful pictures. Hiroki hat taken tons of them and they were mostly landscape pictures.
„Look, this was in Hokkaido. It would have been a really great picture, but i hadn't noticed these two people in the background.“ Hiroki said sighing and showed them the picture.
It was a beautiful sunset at a lake and in the background two people were fighting with each other, so it seemed. It were two men looking similar at first glance with the same hair, but they could still tell them apart.
Then Yamapi and Erika recognized him at the same time.
„Ryo“ they gasped and the photo went to the ground.
„Ryo? Your old friend Ryo?“ asked Hiroki surprised.
Both of them nodded. „Hokkaido you say? I think i should travel around a bit too. Maybe i can take wonderful pictures of landscapes with this traitor in the background.“ said Yamapi gritting his teeth. He was angry at him for leaving so suddenly after all they had gone through together. He wanted to find him and hear what he has to say. Why he disappeared. He was about to grab his jacket and storm out of the house, but Erika stopped him by grabbing his wrist.
„Calm down, Yamapi. How about spending time with Hiroki first and then you can travel to Hokkaido first thing in the morning tomorrow, alright?“ Erika said and Yamapi, who wasn't immune at all to her reasoning, sat down again.
Yamapi really went to Hokkaido to look for him, but he wasn't able to find him or the other men on the picture at all. Hiroki came back two month ago, that meant Ryo was doing allright, wherever he was. That was enough for her for now.
She sadly watched the three people leaving. She really missed him a lot. Even after 8 years.
„Sorry, I'm late again!“
Suddenly she heard his voice next to her and she jumped a little. „You surprised me!“ she said smiling to her boyfriend. „Well I'm used to you being late, so dont worry“ she added and kissed him briefly on the lips.
