They entered the resteraunt to be greeted by the owner of Uyuu Resteraunt, Mr. Okazaki Rikuto.
"Hey! Heizou!" Said the old man. Heizou waved saying, "Good evening." Old man Okazaki teased, "Who have you brought with you? Is he your boyfriend?"
Heiozu laughed, "Haha.... Your jokes are incredibly humorous."
"Alright I won't tease you any further..." Said Okazaki, clearly holding his laughter. Kazuha stood quietly while blushing. Heizou coughed and said, "I'll have the usual."
Kazuha looked at Heizou. Heizou simply shook his head to the direction of Okazaki, implying that Kazuha should place his order.
Kazuha stood silent, looking at Heizou, non-verbally asking him to place in his order for him. "Uh.... And my friend will have the same as mine." Heizou said. Kazuha sighed in relief.
Several minutes later, their dinner had arrived. Kazuha and Heizou dug into their food. "What do you think? Erika's got some skills eh?" Said Okazaki.
As Kazuha was enjoying the food thoroughly, Heizou looked at him and smiled. However, some voices began to amplify in his head once more.
"He's using you."
"You're just a replacement."
"You're just his target."
Heizou looked stressed. They had finished their meal and payed up. As soon as they exited, Kazuha thanked Heizou for all the things he's done for him. Heizou replied, "N-No problem...." Heizou looked upset.
Kazuha asked him what was wrong but Heizou just brushed it off by replying, "Nothing...." Heizou then suggested to go to a hot spring together and relax there.
Kazuha's eyes widened. "T-Together?" He asked, getting nervous. Heizou replied, "Well... we already felt eachother's bodies.... Also I saw you na-" but was cut off by Kazuha yelling his name.
After some minutes of debating, they decided that they would go. They both went to retrieve a towel and headed outside. Heizou said, "I know a private hot spring that belongs to the Tenryou Commission. We could go there alone if you'd like." Kazuha agreed.
They walked to the hot spring and entered it. They then entered the hot spring area for men. After taking out their footwear, they were greeted by the locker room.
They separated ways(went to the opposite sides of the room) and undressed, covering themselves with a towel. Kazuha went into the shower area first, where he took a shower before entering the spring. Heizou then followed his footsteps.
Soon, they reunited at the hot springs. Kazuha looked at the empty hot springs and was amazed. However, when Heizou arrived, Kazuha got flustered.
He saw Heizou's body. He remembered the feeling of his body from that incident and began to blush even more. Heizou on the other hand, did not get too embarrassed seeing Kazuha as he already saw him like this before.
Kazuha whisphered, "C-Can you go first... I'm sh-" Heizou sighed and said, "Let's go in the same time." They entered the spring and began to soak in it, putting their towel on their head.
They sat together, side to side. Kazuha was visibly getting redder. Heizou looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?" Kazuha replied, "I'm just- this is- this is the first time I went in a hot spring with someone I liked...."
Heizou's eyes widened as he began to blush. "Y-You like me?" Kazuha nodded his head and said, "Mhm!" They could see eachother's bodies being submerged by the water. Kazuha blushed even more, knowing how Heizou looked.
Kazuha couldn't control his mouth and, "H-Heizou... You look kinda hot-" slipped out of his mouth. Heizou looked at him, flustered and confused. They then began to converse with one another.
H:"Have you ever done this with your
friend?"
K: "Some times...."
H: "How... did you feel?"
K: "It wasn't that awkward... I mean...."
H: "Hm?"
K: "Ah... since we were best friends I
guess we were both used to it."
Heizou's eyes widened due to that response.
They had been in the hot spring for about 17 minutes now. As they began to get relaxed, the voices in Heizou's head then echoed louder.
"He's using you."
Heizou began to get stressed. He wondered, "They went to hot springs together... always spent time with eachother... did all sorts of fun stuff together... comforted eachother whenever the other was sad..." Heizou gasped and accidentally whisphered:
"He... liked him...."
Heizou got out of the bath and ran away. He showered, changed, put his towel in his plastic bag, wore his footwear quickly and ran out. Kazuha stood there shocked and ran after him after some time. Kazuha had done what Heizou did aswell.
He ran to the outside of the Hot Springs to check the surroundings. Heizou was nowhere to be seen. He searched every nook and cranny of Inazuma City but could not find him.
While finding him, Kazuha ran so quickly to the point that he did not see a blade sticking out of the display shelf, which caused his arm to get a huge cut. He tried his best to ignore the cut and grabbed it with his other hand then ran to Yoimiya's House.
Yoimiya opened the door.
Y: "Kazuha? What are you doing here at
this time?"
K: *pant* "Did y- did you see Heizou?"
Y: "Detective Shikanoin?"
K: "Yes! Him!"
Y: "Yeah.... I saw him run towards
Chinju Forest."
K: "Thank you!"
Y: "Hey! Where are you going!?! You owe me an explanation tomorrow!"
Kazuha ran as quick as he could to catch up to Heizou. He ran so quickly, that he had arrived at Chinju Forest already. He saw Heizou. Kazuha hid behind a tree and eavesdropped on Heizou.
"He won't find me here... I'm sure of it..." Heizou then began to shed a tear. Kazuha walked up to him. "Heizou! I've been looking all over for you..."
Heizou moved backwards. Kazuha saw the tears fall off of Heizou's eye. He felt sorrowful and sat beside him. "Heizou... What happened.... It's okay I'll just-"
Suddenly... Heizou punched the tree, yelling, "LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" Very aggressively. Heizou couldn't think straight.
