Nostalgia: Iwamoto Satoshi

After seeing Satoru devastated and almost destroying himself, I vowed to find the one who caused my brother's misery. While I was motivated to hunt that jerk down, I also wanted to find a certain someone. His hair was long, but he tied his hair high. A typical man bun with the remaining of his hair touches and covers his neck. He was a Euphonium player from BS International School. He is also always together with a flute player. Luckily, their voices were loud after the competition my school competed with. While I was holding my French horn gently, I overheard their names. Haruki and Izumi. Izumi was the one who had long hair.

I wanted to be friends with him. I don't know why. But then, my parents decided to leave our hometown for a while. It was for the medication of Satoru. He was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. So, I came along. But as the spring semester draws near, I become more anxious. I wanted to return to the school where Satoru attended. Apparently, they also have a high school program. So, I figured out, they might enroll at the same school.

I told my parents that I would be continuing my studies in their school and living independently for the next three years, and they agreed. And so, I enrolled at their school, hoping that I would meet Haruki and Izumi.

Fate is ruthless. I was able to befriend Haruki and Izumi. Unbeknownst to my knowledge, they were very good friends with the jerk who caused the misery of my brother. He was so afraid when he saw me. Though I couldn't hide my agitation, I played nice. I doubt that he would approach me because of what he did. Even though we joined the same club, we didn't speak to each other for one year. I only focused on helping Izumi achieve his desire: To build his body. To boost his confidence further.

I looked for an opening that would bring Mitsuru down on his knees for that one year. During my time with Haruki and Izumi, I noticed that Mitsuru is so clingy with Izumi. I noticed that he treats him differently. He is smart. He is using the alibi that they are childhood friends and treat each other as brothers. As if connected by blood. I hated seeing this state. Mitsuru is here, having a good time with them, while my twin is suffering out there.

One time, I caught him glancing at Izumi, noticing the changes in his thin body. He couldn't contain his curiosity further and asked him. "It seems that your body is growing larger, eh, Ikkun?" asked he. "Well, instead of goofing around, I am exercising to maximize my health!" replied Izumi. "OHHHHH!!! That was realtalk, Mikkun!" responded Haruki. Of course, all of us chuckled. While they were having a conversation, an explosion was heard, and there was fire creeping out to the entrance to the club room. It was on the third floor, and the door was already engulfed with flames. The other members broke the windows and threw a long cloth to make it a stair. As I guided the others to go down, I saw Izumi choking due to the smoke. He has asthma. He already couldn't breathe. Then, I witnessed something interesting.

Mitsuru was frantically panicking. As if he was in the middle of losing someone dear to him. "Where is his inhaler?!" asked the agitated Mitsuru. "SH*T! The locker was also burned! The inhaler was there!" said Haruki, and he was almost crying. My eyes dilated, and tears also started to creep out of my eyes. "F**K THIS!" exclaimed Mitsuru. He carried Izumi and ran towards the blocked entrance to escape. "IDIOT!! STOP THAT MITSURU!!" shouted and pleaded Haruki as he wailed. "Stop wailing, Haruki! Let's wait for them outside!" I yelled at Haruki to revive his will to live. I dragged him near the window. "I believe that those two will not die! If they'll make it alive, I'll do a CPR on---" As I was about to continue, I saw someone on the ground, his clothes were drenched, together with the one he's carrying. "Impressive, the shower was in the other building. How did he get drenched there?" said I as I was amazed at the heroism of Mitsuru. Before the fire could even catch me, I immediately jumped out the window. Luckily, the bushes cushioned my fall. As I ran towards everyone, I was surprised at what I saw. Mitsuru, performing rescue breathing on Izumi. Luckily, he regained his breathing and regained consciousness. "IZUMI!!" exclaimed Mitsuru as he hugged him. Haruki also sprinted to them and hugged the two.

I saw an opportunity to destroy Mitsuru. I am going to seduce Izumi. I am going to take him from him. This is to avenge my brother…

After that incident, Izumi doesn't remember what happened. Luckily, Mitsuru pleaded with everyone to not reveal who revived him. Arrogant fool, this just made my plan perfect. I would tell Izumi that I was the one who saved his life. I started to brainwash Izumi.

"Who was the one who saved me?" asked Izumi. "It was me," said I. "Thank you, thank you for saving my life!" said Izumi as he wailed and hugged me. There, I realized, I didn't admire him. I loved him from the beginning. From the moment I witnessed his glorious performance. "Shhh. It's okay. No one knows. So, don't tell others, okay? It will be our secret," said I. Izumi nodded and kept our secret." After that, I went out to have a proper conversation with Mitsuru. We went outside the hospital, and we talked to each other.

"I saw what you did. It was commendable," said I. "What do you want?!" he asked aggressively. "Woah, Woah, you don't have to be aggressive. I'll explain so could you hear me out?" I asked nicely, and he nodded. "Okay, I know that you're freaked out when you saw me. I lost my memory right after middle school graduation. I had an accident," said I. His eyes dilated and showed signs of relief. "What an obnoxious person. He is relieved that 'I' don't remember anything," I thought. I stood up and faced him while bowing. "I am sorry for the trouble I made back in the past whatever it is. I just want a new start," said I. "It's okay, please raise your head," he responded. "Heh~ he took the bait. It would be fun stealing Izumi from you before you find a chance to confess to him," I thought. "So, let's be friends, okay? Kurosawa Mitsuru-kun?" said I as I reached my hand to him. "Uh-huh," said he as he accepted my apology and shook my hand.

"Let me tell you one more, secret, Mitsuru-kun," said I. "What is it?" he asked curiously. "Izumi was the first friend I have ever made since my recovery. I also lied to him," said Satoshi. "What?!" said Mitsuru angrily. "It will be our secret, okay? If my memory comes back, kill me, if what I made to you in the past is truly unforgivable," said I. "That's a promise," I added. Then, he nodded silently. "Well then, let's go check Izumi, shall we?" said I. "Okay," he said.

After that, I began to seduce Izumi. I watched and accompanied him to the gym almost every day. His stick-like body is slowly filled with muscles. He is keeping up with me. For the next two years, I hung out with the three. I admit, I enjoyed their company. It even made me forget my goal due to my pure-hearted nature. I couldn't afford to stay evil for a long time. Then, a certain incident made me focus on my revenge...

"Izumi's running late," said Haruki. "Where the heck is he anyway?" asked I. "Well, Mikkun and I were waking him up, but he is not waking up!" said the annoyed Haruki. Then, we heard running footsteps along the hallway. Izumi arrived, the classroom door was forcefully opened, who tied his hair up, just like the day I saw him. Everyone else in that room was surprised. Even our teacher was shocked. After that, some murmurs enveloped the whole classroom.

"Who is that? A transfer student?"

"Are you an idiot? A transfer student, when the winter term is already ending?"

"But who is that? All of us are present… Except…"

Then, the whole class shouted: "IZUMI?!"

Izumi was shocked. As if they have seen him as a ghost. There was a moment of silence until our teacher broke it. "Since you're late, Shirogane-kun, you'll be joining Fuchigami-kun's group. Your genre will be romance, and you will be making a short movie with 20 minutes maximum length," said the teacher. "Uh, yes ma'am, Good Morning," said he before bowing.

After that, he ran towards our group. "Hey, what's wrong? Why does everyone keep staring at me?" said he as he unknowingly came to school with his informal attire. He has black jeans, a white shirt, and a lavender polo unbuttoned with his piercings. One at each side of his ears. Then, Haruki and I looked at each other and started laughing. "Hey! Why are you laughing!?" said he anxiously. "Uhm, Ikkun, let's go talk to our teacher first," said Haruki and I and dragged him outside. Afterward, Haruki came to fetch their teacher.

"Well, that was a nice call, Fuchigami-kun. You're lucky enough Shirogane-kun, I am a nice teacher. Just make sure that no one else saw you in that attire," said our teacher as she handed her mirror to Izumi. "WAIT, WHAT?!" exclaimed the embarrassed Izumi. Izumi then bowed down and apologized to our teacher. "HARU-CHAN! LET'S GO TO THE CHANGING ROOM! QUICKLY!" exclaimed Izumi as he dragged Haruki away to the changing room. As for me, I went back to the classroom, and everyone flocked at me. I just avoided them and told them that they should ask Izumi himself. Then, Izumi came back along Haruki, of course, with his usual school outfit. A goody-two-shoes with a complete uniform and his hair untied.

Luckily, Mayumi was there to fend off the flock. "Can you please focus on planning your filming? We're also busy here! Talk to us during lunchtime! I beg you!" said Mayumi with a slight tone of annoyance. After that, our classmates withdrew. "So, you can be a bad boy if you want to, huh, Shirogane-kun?" said Mayumi as she showed the picture she snapped earlier. "Gyaaahhh! Get that away from me, Akabane-san!" said Izumi. "I really didn't pay attention to your body during club hours, but I just saw you bulked up! We always thought you are still skinny because of the illusion of your school uniform!" said Mayumi as she laughed. "Akabane-san isn't cooperating so we're expelling her out," said Izumi as she crossed out her name. "Hey, don't do this, Shirogane-kun! I was just joking! Please!" pleaded Mayumi. While the two were messing around, I noticed Haruki smiling at Mayumi as if he was already fallen for her. "So, what will we do?" asked Izumi. "We'll be doing BL!" said Mayumi. All of the boys looked at each other and exclaimed: "HUH?!"
