At night
The café door opened softly
Inside, the café was quiet except for the soft clinking of cups
At the corner table sat Itsuki and Yuzuru
Two men who unintentionally attracted every gaze in the room
Several women at nearby tables kept stealing glances at them
One whispered to her friend
"Are they models or something…?"
Yuzuru leaned back in his chair and sighed quietly
Then he leaned slightly toward Itsuki and whispered
Yuzuru:
"What do you want?"
Itsuki didn't even look at the menu
He smiled like a kid while saying
Itsuki:
"Chocolate cake."
Yuzuru raised his hand calmly
Yuzuru:
"Two chocolate cakes."
The waiter nodded and left
At the next table, a woman stood up
She had been staring at Yuzuru for several minutes already
She walked over confidently and gently reached out, trying to touch Yuzuru's shoulder
Before her hand could reach him—
Itsuki suddenly pulled Yuzuru toward him
Their face was close to eachother
Itsuki looked up at the woman
His eyes were cold
Purely cold
Itsuki:
"Stay away."
His arm was still around Yuzuru's cheeks
Then he added
Itsuki:
"He is mine."
The woman froze
Her face turned red
She quickly muttered an apology and walked away
Yuzuru blinked
Then he looked at Itsuki
Yuzuru:
"What's with these women's intentions?"
Itsuki crossed his arms
Itsuki:
"Same as every girl."
"Only money and beauty"
Yuzuru leaned back again and sighed
Yuzuru:
"No woman is ever going to love me truly."
Itsuki looked at him quietly for a moment
Then he spoke calmly
Itsuki:
"That's not true."
Yuzuru raised an eyebrow
Yuzuru:
"Oh really?"
Itsuki took a sip of his coffee
Itsuki:
"There's someone."
Yuzuru frowned
Yuzuru:
"What someone?"
Itsuki glanced out the café window
Across the street
Under the quiet night under the beautiful night
A girl stood there quietly
Her eyes were light purple
Glossy black short hair with wolf cut
Her hair moved gently in the night Breeze
She glowed under the streets light
She wasn't looking at her phone
She wasn't talking to anyone
She was just standing there…
Looking toward the café
Waiting
Itsuki spoke softly
Itsuki:
"She waits there every night."
Yuzuru eye's locked with itsuki
Yuzuru:
"…What?"
Itsuki:
"She stands there just to see you leave."
Yuzuru went silent
His eyes stayed on the girl outside
Itsuki continued
Itsuki:
"She's been doing that for months."
Yuzuru slowly sat up straighter
His voice was quieter now
Yuzuru:
"Why?"
Itsuki shrugged lightly
Itsuki:
"You should ask her."
Outside, the girl shifted slightly
For a moment, her eyes met Yuzuru's through the café window
She immediately looked down
Her fingers tightened around her book
Itsuki smirked slightly
Itsuki:
"Her name is Islyn."
Yuzuru stared at her
Something unfamiliar stirred in his chest
Not attraction
Not curiosity
Something softer
Something warmer
Something that felt like…
_hope_
Yuzuru kept staring at the girl outside
She still hadn't moved
The streetlight above her flickered softly in the quiet night
Itsuki finished the last bite of his chocolate cake and stood up
Itsuki:
"I'll leave first."
Yuzuru blinked
Yuzuru:
"What?"
Itsuki grabbed his coat
A small teasing smile appeared on his face
Itsuki:
"You should go talk to her."
Yuzuru frowned
Yuzuru:
"I'm not—"
But before he could finish, Itsuki walked toward the door but he came back toward yuzuru
he leaned slightly closer and whispered
Itsuki:
"She waited months.
Don't make her wait one more night
She's a good person who truly loves you."
Then he left
The door closed behind him with a soft chime
Yuzuru sat there for a moment
Silent
Then he sighed and stood up
Outside, the cold night air brushed against his face as he stepped out of the café
And looked at her
Her eyes widened
She hadn't expected him to come out
Her fingers tightened nervously on the book
Yuzuru slowly walked toward her
Step by step
Her heart started beating faster
Islyn pov :
He's coming here
Why is he coming here?
Or am I overthinking
Maybe he is just going this way
He will walk past me
But i wish he is walking toward me
She lowered her head slightly
By the time he stopped in front of her, she could barely breathe
For a moment, neither of them spoke
The wind moved her short hair gently
Finally, Yuzuru spoke
His voice was calm
Yuzuru:
"Islyn."
Her shoulders trembled slightly
She slowly looked up
Her light purple eyes met his
For a second, she forgot how to speak
Islyn:
"…You know my name?"
Yuzuru nodded slightly
Yuzuru:
"I heard you've been standing here every night."
Her face turned red immediately
She looked down again
Islyn:
"I didn't mean to bother you."
Yuzuru studied her quietly
She looked nervous
Almost fragile
Very different from the women who tried to approach him inside
Then he asked softly
Yuzuru:
"Why do you wait here?"
Islyn hesitated
For several seconds she said nothing
Then she whispered
Islyn:
"…Because i want to see you."
The street suddenly felt very quiet
Yuzuru didn't laugh
He didn't tease her
Instead, he asked another question
Yuzuru:
"why ?"
Islyn looked in his eyes her cheeks turned Full red
Islyn:
" I love you yuzuru"
Yuzuru's eyes widened
Yuzuru:
"Why you like me "
Islyn:
" Because in your eyes there was something unspoken "
Your eyes it is
_"Filled in pain empty and suffering yet is filled with kindness and warmth"
_It is really beautiful_
It is
_Emptiely beautiful _
i don't know but i started to like you
Yuzuru's expression filled with amusement
An memory came in his mind
Itsuki smiling and saying
"Your eyes they are filled with pain empty and suffering yet it is filled with kindness and warmth"
_ It is emptiely beautiful _
Find someone who see's this in yours eyes they're the one for you
_Because someone who reads the eyes will read your soul _
Yuzuru's eyes softened
Yuzuru:
"Next time…"
Islyn eyes lingered in longing
Yuzuru:
"Would you like to eat cake together?"
Her eyes sparkled
For the first time, a small beautiful smile appeared on her face
And under the quiet night sky—
Something new quietly began
From far away in the crowd
Itsuki was watching them
He smiled softly and walked away
