Summary: Aiba has a special ability – he can see shadows surrounding people who can’t get rid of their past and what had happened to them and the people they once loved. As psychologist it’s Aiba’s duty to help them getting rid of their bad experiences (and their shadows) to start a new life.
“What happened long ago?” Aiba wanted to know.
Sho had the cup in his hands, even though there wasn’t anything in it anymore. He was nervous, Aiba could see it. Sho’s fingers moved up and down the cup. Probably he hadn’t spoken about the reasons for his cold relationship with his brother very often.
“We were still children, but I had always been a pretty strong character. You know, I always thought that I am better than others,” Sho explained.
Aiba choked on his coffee. Did the other really admit this right now? “You are really honest today, Sho-san.”
The other smiled at him. “It doesn’t matter now. You know, I’ve seen my brother after he and Ohno had visited you. And believe me.” Sho leaned forward. “I have never seen him so happy since he’s together with Ohno. I really believe that they love each other, but Ohno is difficult, and you helped them. I don’t know how, but you made what no one had managed before.”
Aiba was sure that he blushed because of these words. “Thank you Sho-san.”
Sho leaned back again, his hands resting behind his head. “That’s why I tell you this, and maybe – maybe you have a way out for me and my brother? Every step closer would be a success.”
“Tell me the reasons, and I can tell you if I am able to help you,” Aiba suggested, earning a nod from the other.
“We always had a complicated relationship. Jun and I are actually half-brothers. My father had married again after my mother had died. I was four years old back then, and I totally didn’t want to accept that I had a brother out of the blue. Everything started with more or less harmless jokes and normal teasing between brothers, but something in me never wanted to accept that he is part of the family.” Sho looked out of the window, where Jun was still talking with Ohno on the phone, walking up and down nervously. “It got worse when we grew bigger. And one day it escalated. I really can’t remember what we fought about. It was for sure something unimportant.” Sho stopped for a moment. “At one point I got so angry that I slapped Jun, and that was not the only thing. I told him that he is not wanted in the family, and that I wish that he’d be dead.”
Aiba shook his head. “And Jun never forgave you?”
“He did, but he was still hurt, and I think he still is. And you know, I am really embarrassed for what I did back then, and I think if I’d be at Jun’s place, I would have never forgiven me.” Sho smiled sadly.
“Have you ever talked about it openly?” Aiba wanted to know.
Sho shook his head. “We never talked about it again. It’s like a deadly secret between us.”
“And it lies heavy on you. The both of you – and you’ll never get out of it, when you aren’t talking about it openly. You need to get rid of the past. What had happened between you happened. You can’t change it anymore. You need to look forward,” Aiba explained. Sho’s behaviour was stupid and he could understand Jun’s reaction, but he was sure that talking about it, would help the both of them.
Sho leaned forward again. He almost whispered, like he feared that someone would listen to them. “And you think we can overcome it?”
Aiba smiled. He didn’t know the both of them for long, but he was sure that behind their stubbornness they were all good-hearted. “Yes,” he said.
“I really hope you are right, because you know, my brother means a lot to me, even though I could never tell him this,” Sho said.
Aiba smiled. Sho’s wall broke, and there came up another man, like he totally changed just because of some small changes in his life. Aiba hoped that this would go on like this.
“Hey Jun, I want to …” Sho started, but stopped. Aiba looked up. He had been in his thoughts and didn’t even realize that Jun came back to the shop, followed by Nino.
“What happened?” Aiba asked.
Jun looked pale and his hands were trembling. Aiba stood up when he didn’t get an answer from Jun. He pulled on Jun’s shoulders. “Hey, Jun, what happened?” Aiba stared into Jun’s eyes. They looked empty.
But Jun didn’t react. His eyes were teary and he just breathed out. Aiba felt Sho at his side, pushing him away slowly. “Jun, look at me.” Sho said harshly.
Aiba wanted to say something, but it seemed to work, Jun slowly got out of his numbness. In this case Sho’s rude behaviour was a great help. “Satoshi called me, he is at this field with the flowers where everything happened, and he wants to …” Jun stopped.
“What does he want to do?” Sho asked, shaking Jun slightly. “Jun, damn, talk with me,” Sho yelled when Jun slipped back into his absent-minded state.
“I think he’s going to do something stupid,” Nino hooked in.
Aiba felt his heartbeat rising. The street with the flowers – it’s where everything had happened. “Okay, Nino, you have a car, bring us there, now.”
Aiba stepped forward, pulling on Jun’s arm. “Come now,” he commanded.
They ran out of the building. “Down the street. I don’t live far from here,” Nino panted. “We should be there in two minutes.”
Aiba wasn’t sporty, but the adrenalin spread in his body. He had a bad feeling about Ohno. If the shadow had gotten more aggravated it was maybe able to influence Ohno’s mood and behaviour. He just hoped that he’d get Ohno out of the shadow’s vicious circle.
Nino drove far too fast down the street, but for Aiba it couldn’t be too fast. “Nino, don’t drive directly to Ohno. Maybe he reacts out of stress if we blindside him. Park here, we’ll run the last meters,” Aiba said. He had had some patients in past who reacted because of stress, and Ohno stood pretty close to the street, and there were a lot of cars driving up and down.
“I wait her. Maybe you should wait too, Sho. If four people run over to him, it’s maybe too much,” Nino suggested.
Sho looked at Jun, who nodded. “Yes, it’s the best. Aiba-chan, would you come with me?”
“Sure,” Aiba nodded. “Let’s go.”
~~~
They reached Ohno, who stood next to the street. He watched the cars passing him. They drove fast. He seemed to think about stepping on the street, probably ending his life with this.
Aiba looked back at the others. They stood next to Nino’s car, looking at them. It was strange that Aiba thought about it in this moment, but Sho’s shadow wasn’t at Sho’s side. He looked around.
The small girl stood next to Aiba. It was shy, but with every second it got stronger. “Go away,” it yelled at Ohno’s shadow.
The woman turned and laughed. “No, no way.” She placed her hand on Ohno’s shoulder. “He follows me now.”
“No,” the girls ran up to her, pulling on her arm.
“Ohno, please step back,” Aiba said slowly.
Ohno turned round. “It’s everything too much, I can’t take this anymore.” He looked at Jun. “I am sorry.”
“Oh-chan, please. Let’s go home together.” Jun raised his hand and wanted to take Ohno’s, but the other turned to the street again, some tears running down his face.
He stepped forward and looked left and right. “I am sorry,” he said again before he started running on the street.
Jun jumped immediately after him, pushing Ohno’s back.
A loud noise echoed, but Aiba couldn’t see anything. The both shadows had taken everything from him, and everything around him got black.
A/N: Hello everyone, a happy New Year to you out there <3 I hope you had a nice New Year's Eve ;)
We are almost at the end of this story, so here we are on top of it. What do you think happened now? What will happen next? I am sorry for the cliffhanger, but I am really curious what you think now ;)
See you next week in the next chapter <3
