Beautiful Lies

Chapter 12

The plan forming in his head was upper rubbish. That's what he noticed after thinking it through carefully.
The first version of his plan was: to break into the office of Fujiki Naohito and steal Ryo's file. He dismissed this idea quickly. Then he remembered two guys he met in the orphanage. You could pay them and they would do almost everything for you. Just like breaking into the hospital and getting a file or maybe to threaten the doctor to tell them what's wrong with Ryo. But after thinking his plans over again, he realized he was going overboard. Far overboard.
„I should stop watching so many movies“ he said to himself shaking his head.
It became clear to him, that he should wait until Ryo was ready to tell them or if he wasn't able to wait, make him talk somehow. Threatening the doctor or stealing wasn't an option.
But how should he make him talk? He could just approach him and tell him his suspicions and see how he reacts.
Or he could bluff. Tell him he knew what was going on, without directly saying it and then hope that Ryo would believe him. Maybe he would tell something that could lead him to the solution. Or he could wait until he was willing to talk about it himself.
Yamapi didn't now what to do, so he chose the last option. To wait and see.

::::

On the next weekend Yamapi invited Ryo to go drinking with him, his collegues and Erika. Ryo was quite sure that Yamapi asked him for Erika's sake. He knew exactly that Yamapi would love to see him and Erika end up as a couple. But Ryo had long ago decided, to not start such a relationship with her when his future was that uncertain. It would just jurt her.
Ryo entered the drinkin place, they promised to meet at with this thoughts in mind. When he took a look around the pub,he immediately saw Yamapi and his friends.
He went to them and the second Yamapi saw him, he put his arm around Ryo's shoulder and said in a loud voice: „Guys? That's Ryo. He's mine and Erika's best friend from our childhood!“
Ryo just smiled at Masami and Hiroki, the only ones who didn't know him yet and greeted Erika and Yamapi.
He sat down between his childhood friends and ordered a beer. He saw that the others, especially Yamapi had drunk quite a lot already. Only Erika seemed to be clear in mind.
„So you don't like drinking that much?“ he asked Erika smiling and pointed at her glass of water.
„I just think someone has to stay sober“ she said laughing, „And i don't think one of the others is willing to be the one.“
Ryo could just agree. Yamapi and Hiroki were already talking nonsense and Masami was giggling at every word they said.
„Ryo-chaaaaan!“ Yamapi said then, turning around. „I'm so sorry for stealing that girl from you in second year of middle school..Really, so sorry!“ he apologized, bowing his head.
Ryo just raised his eyebrow and laughed at him. He had no idea whom he was talking about, but just seeing yamapi like this was hilarious. Just then he realized he had never seen him drunk before. A sensation of sadness rushed over him. His beer arrived and he drank it in one go to cover those feelings.
„Planning to get just as drunk as them?“ Erika asked mildly surprised by his actions.
Ryo ignored her and ordered another glass. Hiroki, Yamapi and Masami cheered him on, when he gulped his second glass down.
About half an hour later, he was just as drunk as the others.

Suddenly he felt sick. „I'm out for a minute“ he said and stumbled outside, not noticing Erika's worried glance.
He took a deep breath the minute he felt the fresh air and closed his eyes. The dizziness slowly ebbed away and the sickness wore off as well.
„You alright?“ he heard Erika's worried voice behind him and he turned around slowly.
Under the influence of alcohol she looked even more beautiful than normal. Just like a goddess. Especially with this gentle expression on her face.
Ryo ignored his thoughts and nodded slowly, smiling slightly.
„Yes, i just overdid it a bit“ he said, trying to speak as clearly as possible.
Erika came a bit closer and put a hand on his forehead.
“You look sick“ she said, again with the worried expressions in her eyes, staring intentely at him.
He just felt himself looking just as intentely at her. Without thinking or listening to the voice in his head he moved closer as well until his lips met hers. He felt how Erika stiffened, surprised by his sudden actions.
Ryo just couldn't stop. He sucked at her upper lip gently, lightly, waiting for her to kiss him back. It didn't take long for her to awaken from her numbness and she kissed him back. His arms went to her waist slowly, placing his hands on either side of them. Erika put her hands behind his neck, deepening the kiss. After a while they stopped to catch their breaths.
They stayed like this, forehead on forehead, for a moment, until Ryo came to his senses.
„Sorry“ he murmured and loosened his grip on her hips. Erika blushed a bit and let go of him as well.
„No need to say sorry“ she said then, still slightly out of breath.
They went back to the others and tried to pretend that nothing had happened and the others where drunk enough to not notice the glances they were throwing at each other.
