December 19th..
Toby pulled Mayu's coat up against his chest..held it there. The vinyl was cool on his skin..he could feel the air being pushed out of it. His head swiveled, eyes followed Mayu's cold path. She'd disappeared..already. A small part of his mind told him not to worry, that she would come back..that nothing else would happen to her.. It wasn't a big enough part to battle his anxiety, though.
He heard other people talking and laughing, but their voices were muffled. This was..her school. Her home. She had..friends here.
That's right..she'd told him to get out of sight, didn't she..
His fingers curled into her coat as he turned, started down the hall. He didn't remember which door she'd said was hers..but that was fine. There were small nameplates next to each one. At first, he thought he couldn't read the squiggly little pictures, but underneath them were even littler letters that he recognized. He went up and down the corridor..and only saw one door with the word 'Mayu' written by it. He reached out his free hand and gripped the handle, turning it. He wondered..
He blinked when the door swung inwards easily. He ducked inside with a last glance at the hallway..eased it closed behind him.
The room was a little spacious, shaped like a capital L..and seemed to be made of three colors: tan, white and yellow. The wall he was facing was mostly taken up by a single bay window with a few white curtains drawn away to either side. Bordering the window's left side was a bed with dark blue sheets..another bed with lavender sheets on its right. Both..were messy and unmade..and had a desk situated before their footboards, books of all sizes on top of them.
To his right was a small kitchen area with a fridge, sink and stove. The floor gleamed. There was also a place with a lot of flat pillows and bean bags situated around a black box resting on a low table. He'd..never seen anything like it..
He took a deep breath and held it. The room..smelled like flowers and fruit. His chest felt lighter, less constricted. He liked..this room. It was a lot bigger than his. But it was pretty and really bright.. Yellow sunlight splashed onto the wooden floor from the window..and the curtains were teased by a gentle wind.
He stepped further into the room, his knees urging him to sit down. Eyes flicked between both beds. He wondered..which one was hers. In the end, he chose the one with the lavender sheets..and deposited the coat on the pillow as he sank down into the mattress. The coil springs twanged against his legs, poking into his right thigh. He could feel the breeze from the window now. It was warm..made his skin tingle. He stared at the blue sky beyond. The clouds were like cotton after he'd pulled it apart.
He wanted to know how she could live here..and in Rhy'Din at the same time..wondered if she ever got confused. He knew he would.. It was summer here, and winter there. That alone confused him.
It wasn't so much a big deal now..because she had been staying in Rhy'Din more. What if..she got in trouble..? Did her friends here..get mad at her when she was gone..? What about..when she was here.. Did she think about Rhy'Din at all? Did she..miss anyone..?
His head snapped back around as the door to the room flew open, banged into the wall..then slammed shut. He hadn't even made it to his feet before it opened again.
"Sheez, the doors in this place.. May~ MAY~?! Are you here yet?! Yooho-!!"
Toby stared at the girl in the doorway. She was dressed in some sort of uniform..that had a short skirt and black socks that stretched up almost to its hem. Her golden brown hair was gathered up in tiny pigtails above her ears..leaving most of it free and loose at her shoulders. Her right arm was curled, fingers holding the strap of a large leather bag. He watched her brown eyes get bigger and bigger..her mouth slowly start to drop open. It was..weird looking. He shuffled back.
"Oh. Em. Gee. May. What. The. Heck. Don't tell me that you ran into Shiho again.. Omigod, that little spaz turned you into a MAN, didn't she?! GASP!!" Toby blinked when she actually gasped, dropped her bag..and then ran him. "Don't you worry about a thing, Genki, we'll fix you, I promise!! You won't be a weird-but-a-little-hot-looking guy forever~!!"
