Chapter Two

<p>He was practicing when another team showed up. He winched when he did a backflip; he shook his wrist. "Fuck" he mumbled. "Ren," Michinoku said. He fell from his handstand. He looks and steps back, almost falling. Shincigahama catches him. "You look like you have seen a ghost," he said. Michinoku walks over and hugs him. "Don't touch me," Ren said, pushing him off. Their coach walks in with the rest of the team. "We will be doing a training camp with this team," their coach said. "You have got to be shitting me," Ren almost yelled. Takase looks. "Isn't that your ex Michinoku?" he asks. He nods. "It seems like he got injured," he said. Ren picks up his stuff and shoves past him. Michinoku grabs his hurt wrist. "What happened," he asks, looking at it. "You lost that right when I saw you are getting fucked by Takase," he said and pulled his arm away, and left. Shichigahama walks over. "So you know why he hurt himself," he says and looks down at him. "What? He tried to kill himself, "Shotaru told him. "He cut through your name he had tattooed on his wrist," he said. Michinoku covered his mouth. "I didn't mean," he said. "It's fine. He will come back. Just let him cool off," Shichigahama said. Ren soon came back and sighed. Michinoku looked. "I am so sorry. Please forgive me," he said. Ren nodded. "Sure," he said. He bowed and went to practice. Ren went to practice a one-handed handstand. His hurt wrist was out, and he swallowed. Michinoku smiles, seeing it. "That boy is amazing," he said. Shichigahama nods. Ren twists and flips to stand and sighs. He swallows and looks at his wrist. He ran and did a backflip. He shut his eyes fast, feeling a wave of pain. He sighs. He sat down, drinking water. "Is he dating anyone?" Michinoku asks. Satoru looks. "No, he cries a lot in his sleep," he said. Shichigahama nods. "His pain from what happened between you two is still there," he said. He picked up his notebook and started writing lyrics and music. Due to his wrist, he couldn't do much. He puts the book down and yawns. He picked up his notebook, returned to the dorm, lay down, and fell asleep. Shichigahama went to check on him. He peeks and covers him up, picks up the notebook, and reads the song. He smiled and put it on his desk. He walks out. "He is asleep," he said. "I feel horrible," Michinoku said. "Don't you didn't know he would behave this way," Takase said. Shichigahama set food out. "You knew him for five years, so yeah, you did," he said. Michinoku looks away and eats with everyone. Shichigahama walked in with food and shook him gently. "Ren, you need to eat," he said. Ren rolls over, sits up, yawns, and eats. "Will your wrist be better in four weeks for the competition?" he asks. Ren swallows. "Yeah," he says and smiles. He smiles. "You should smile more," he says and walks back out and cleans up. I got a shower, lay down, and yawned. He went to sleep.</p>
