Summary
Kaoru breathed in deeply, smoke filling his lungs and dulling his brain. He tips his head back, slowly exhaling. His mind is hazy as he watches the smoke, transfixed. Lazily, it wisps through the light, dancing along the gentle breeze coming through the apartment windows. Absentmindedly, he fiddled with the pipe, fingers brushing along the shank. It was a mix of wood and metal, a traditional styled tobacco pipe with a cherry blossom branch burned on the stem, a blossom engraved on the metallic shank. It was beautiful in its simplicity and more importantly it was a gift- from Kojiro.
Despite his attempt to float above his emotions, reality broke through the haze and he slumped onto his knees. He should have predicted this, knew he shouldn’t have gotten high without some form of distraction to keep his attention. Maybe he had just been hoping Kojiro would be back by now. The green haired buffoon was a suitable enough distraction. Instead he is left to ruminate in the quiet of their shared apartment. He’s unsure how long he stares at the mattress between his knees.
Graduation is fast upon them and Kojiro plans on leaving for Italy a month after their ceremony.
