Choromatsu blinked, before shaking his head. “Nothing is the matter…” he muttered, as his hand went up to hide the black eye. “It’s alright… just a fight…” Osomatsu never threw his punches around, and this one was his fault alone.
Kamimatsu looked worried. He usually stayed his distance, letting the others do what they will. But seeing Choromatsu hurt like that…
“L-let me buy you an ice back.”Choromatsu shook his head. “You don’t have to. I’ll let this heal by itself, but thank you, Kamimatsu.” He smiled gratefully at Kamimatsu. “You were always one of the softer ones.”
“But…it’s not good to leave a wound unhealed.” kamimatsu frowns more. “Please let me help?”
Choromatsu sighed. “Very well,” he said, smiling gratefully at Kamimatsu. “Thank you.”
Kamimatsu smiled. “Great! It’s no problem on my end, really. Now come, we have to go to the store.” He gently holds Choromatsu’s hand.
Choromatsu sighed, allowing himself to be taken along to the store. “… You know, I never really did understand why you did all of this. Being kind to us shitty assholes, you know?” he said quietly. “You could have saved all of it for someone else, but instead you show it to six shitty idiots who kill… And the six of us barely even know each other… You, I don’t know anyone who’s close to you.” Choromatsu fidgeted. “Even after the way we treated you….”
“Isn’t it the rule to treat others the way you wish to be treated? I just want peace and kindness in the world, and that won’t happen if I become just as selfish.” Kamimatsu smiled and walked into the store. He gave one cashier a sad look, silently asking them to not stare.
