《Flashback {Toruka}》Flashback 18
Advertisement
It was always the after party that gained the members' interest the most. Thus as usual, the staff members, ONE OK ROCK, and some other friends were celebrating late at night after the success of the band's concert. Barbecue scent rose liberally into the frozen night air while alcohol glasses hit together loudly.
Despite the myriad level of energy and movement, the cold chills hitting right into the body where still there. As the moon climbed higher into the sky, those chills intensified mercilessly. As for the dance floor, it was dominantly occupied by the tiny vocalist of ONE OK ROCK, Takahiro Moriuchi. He shamelessly moved around performing what he called his dance moves, in which his lover found extremely adorable.
Toru marched out of the crowds seeking a refuge from the harsh cold, but there was none. He sat on an isolated bench, rubbing his bare arms for some comfort. A tanktop that night wasn't a wise choice afterall. The guitarist's head hung low only having access to see the pair of feet approaching him silently.
"Are you alright?" The silky voice of his vocalist inquired. Toru looked up at Taka and smiled "yes I am. Just a little cold" he chuckled. "Awe my poor Toru" Taka uttered, almost mockingly. "Let's head home then?" The shorter man suggested while his arms wrapped around Toru hoping to provide some warmth.
"No, you looked like you were having the time of your life" Toru confessed softly. "But that's not any more important than you are to me Toru. You're the most significant"
"I don't want to go back Taka"
"well.." Taka muttered, inching back a little.
He unzipped his jacket and threw it on top of his bulky fiance. "Use this then."
It took every grain of Toru's willpower to supress his laugh at his small lover's proposal, considering the size difference.

"But Taka.."
"I know i know" he answered, his face turning a bit red, like Toru's, whose face was affected by the low heat not embarrassment.
"Just try to fit in"
"it'd stand out a lot though, don't you think?"
"Then give it back!" Taka shouted, annoyed and embarrassed while regretting offering the jacket to his sarcastic lover. "No no! I'm sorry" Toru responded, snatching back the jacket that Taka already redeemed the half off.
The blonde guitarist swung the jacket in the air as if that will expand its size before throwing it above his shoulders, doing his best to force the width of his shoulders to fit under its heat.
Taka, who was wearing a long sleeved sweater, looked fondly at his boyfriend. He loved him too much to care about his clumsiness or his curses towards his carelessness. They were, after all, a part of the man he loved. Taka thought, planting a kiss on Toru's freezing forehead.

Combat Origin is the first book in the World of Combat, young adult, dystopia series. If you like strong heroines, gamelit/litrpg and a good brawl, keep reading. Author note: I just discovered the Royal Road community and decided to jump in and participate. I posted Combat Origin, Book 1 during Nov and Dec of 2019 (before moving it to Amazon), followed by the short story prequel that gave backstory on two of the main characters. (non-Gamelit - because the gaming AI hasn't been found yet) Now, Book 5 has been finished and posted on Amazon, which allows me to leave a 10% sample here. The books are all free to read, If you have Kindle Unlimited. Please comment, ask questions, offer suggestions or just say hi. I'm hoping to connect with readers and improve my storytelling. -- Misty :) https://www.amazon.com/author/mistyzaugg https://mistyzaugg.com/
