"I really need to get going"
Those words left the Brunette's mouth as he went to thank the flower vendor after receiving his change, he went to make a run for his destination with is 3 blocks away.
The streets were brimming with passion as people, men, women and children, come together to enjoy the chilly air of the November night.
The moon shined brightly over the fairly dimmed alleyways as the man continues to run to his destination, his clock making sure he won't caught a cold in the night, his hood is up while his purple eyes went to look around, trying to calm himself down as he went to approach halfway.
"Oh no, he will be totally mad at me!"
He panicked as he went to speed himself up.
Will he forgive me at least?
I don't want him to leave me..
The man is so lost in his thoughts that he suddenly crash to his friend of his.
"Oh I am so sorry I wasn't paying attentio- Seto?! Oh thank god I saw you!" The man bursts out as he picked himself up.
"Oh its you Isaac-" Seto greeted but when he looked at his watch.
"Oh shit I am late I am so sorry-" Seto was about to make a run to the building a few meters from his position when Isaac grabed his wrist.
"You may not want to go in there" Isaac sighed, Seto tilted his head.
"Why won't I? Its our 3rd anniversary after all!, I need to hurry!" Seto broke out of Isaac hold and run to the restaurant building, not noticing Isaac yelling for him to stop.
Seto went to the seat he reserved for them, it was near by the window, and there.. he saw something he would never expect.
His boyfriend, Tyler Ellis
His best friend, Brice Solace
In the seat He reserved for him and his boyfriend.
For their supposed 3rd year anniversary.
Everything crumbled down in front of Seto's face, he didn't know what to do at this point.
Seto cannot move, he didn't know what he should do in the situation.
But he let his anger out.
Seto rushed at the table and slammed it so hard it nearly broke the table, everyone at the first floor of the restaurant looked at them.
Seto went to smile and let go of the table revealing a bunch of messed up flowers with petals all over the loor and table and an engagement ring box.
Tyler's eyes widened as he realized what just happened and said one of the most cliche things a cheating lover would say if they would get caught.
But he was cut off by Seto.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a fucking announcement."
Seto said as he went to shout it to everyone
"This man" Pointing Tyler. "Is my boyfriend for 3 years and I am planning to propose to him right now"
As he began his speech, memories start to pour in him.
Seto was sitting alone in the same table, waiting for his dinner, He is reading on a book he got from the library earlier.
He barely made to sit on his favorite table if weren't the fact it was always reserved for him, the fast food restaurant in always full of people so he always reserve a seat, not like he would run out of money that fast anyways.
While he was reading a man walked up to a his table.
"Hi, may I sit with you?"
Seto just nodded, its completely normal for him to share sits with people, he doesn't mind it, besides he do like company.
"So, you are that guy who always reserves this sit huh?"
That question made Seto to lift his head up from what he was reading, he then saw a man around his age, a man with a hazelnut hair that covers their right eye and grayish-green eyes, he has a neon green headphones around his neck. Seto raised his eyebrows.
"I always wondered who takes up this seat everyday" The man continued
"My name is Tyler Ellis by the way, But you can call me Ty"
He went to reach for a handshake, which accepted by Seto.
"My name is Seto Ellagard, and yeah, I take this seat position because I like it" Ty tilted his head a bit.
"Why tho?" He asked as he looks around. "There is nothing special here" Seto just sighed.
"My mom and dad met up in this place and they also brought me to this, this is one of my few mementos I have with my parents before they passed away when I was 12" Ty went to blush out of embarrassment and looked away.
"I am sorry I asked that then.." Seto went to to laugh a bit and put the book down, making a dog's ears in the leaf he was reading before completely closing it.
"Oh no no, its fine don't worry" Seto said.
"So what do you do in everyday stuff?"
And from there they went to talk a lot everyday in the same seat.
"That guy" Then he pointed at Brice with hatred "Is my childhood best friend since I was 12"
"Right now they are making out in this public area, in the table I reserved for me and my damned boyfriend" That made a lot of people mumble to each other.
Seto finished it with a painfully fake grin as he went to turn around to both of Tyler and Brice
"I hope you guys will have a great family"
And with that Seto went to the counter to pay for the damage of the table and walked off, Leaving everyone in total shock. Seto saw Isaac approaching on his way out but Seto signaled not to follow him and so, he went to run.
This time to the place he wished he never went when he was little.
A mile done and Seto arrived in a cliff, it was full of trees, but Seto knew where is the tree he was looking for, he went stop on the tree he first made his best friend.
This time a memory played that made Seto nearly fell on his knees.
It was a week after his parents' funeral, after a tragic car crash that him and his parents are in, Only Seto survived, every since he was kept by his grandpa until he can have all his parents' riches and his legal rights.
He was staring out of the window like always, looking at the trees that are so full of life.
That time he is just wishing he could have died along with his parents.
He turned his head around to a door to see his grandpa peeking
"Hey Seto, why won't you go outside and enjoy the weather?" His grandpa said as he went to pat Seto in the shoulder.
"I am not in the mood grandpa" Seto mumbled as he went to look back outside again.
"I know you are in a hard time right now, but you shouldn't be hard to yourself, besides, walking outside can calm you mind" He said.
"There is a lot of great scenery over a cliff a few blocks away, maybe that can calm you down" His grandpa added as he went kiss Seto in the forehead and walk out of the room.
He went to his bedside drawers and found the box containing his mother's favorite necklace, a simple silver chain with a silver-bordered amethyst charm, his father's favorite watch that has a broken glass because of the accident but still works, along with his parents' wedding rings.
He went to get the rings and hide somewhere else.
Clutching the box, he went to excuse himself out and walked walk his way to the cliff, the terrain is full of trees, but paths of those who goes here are guiding Seto to the cliff.
"I need to rest them in peace"
But just as he was about to reach it he heard some weeping, he slowed down his pace as he approaches the source of the weeping, it was a young kid, sitting below the tree, Seto can't really the person as they are hugging their knees.
Seto slowly approached the kid when suddenly the kid stood up, still not noticing Seto, who got the better glimpse of the kid, it was just around his age, his hair is black with yellow highlights, but he can't still see its face.
The kid then went to start talking.
"It's so unfair, why, why would they leave me alone?!?!" The kid shouted at the cliff, giving off a little echo.
"I just want someone, anyone, to appreciate me, I just want to prove I can do better, that I can be better... They are pushing me away...Screaming at me... I cannot.." His scream turned into a mumble as he went to fell down to his knees, hands in his face.
Seto understanding what is going on he swallowed up his fear as he gently went to put the box down in a nearby tree and went to hug the person.
As first the kid is shocked and flinched a bit, but Seto didn't let go of them, he knew he shouldn't let go. Eventually the kid cried over his arms, after sometime, the kid calmed down and Seto decided to let go and quickly got his box before turning his face to the kid who is now standing up and looking at him, his puffy eyes and groaned expression made Seto feel a bit embarrassed at what he did, he breath heavily and spoke.
"Look I am sorry I did that, I just feel like you need-"
"Thank you" the boy mumbled, "I am Brice by the way"
"Seto" Brice went to look at his surroundings
"You know, If you didn't came, I may have lost my mind in sadness and despair and did something I would highly regret" He said with embarrassment, Seto shook his head.
"I knew any better, I know that you just need someone... I have been there" Seto said as he looked at the box he is holding. Brice noticed it.
"Are you planning to bury that?" Brice asked, Seto nod as a reply.
"These are my parent's remaining treasures, I wanna make peace with them" Seto said as a tear fell down in his eye.
"Here, I made a hole to hide in an important treasure" Brice pointed at a hole beside the tree he was sitting in, there is a wide hole with less than half of it occupied with a box.
"That has all the tools and medicine I used to nearly end my life or somebody else's, I highly regret it.. So I went to put it there and end it all in this cliff, but you came to save me" Brice said in a melancholic way, painfully smiling over it.
"It's okay, its over now" Seto said as he put his box in the whole and slowly put the land back in place.
Seto walked towards the cliff, his eyes affixed in the moon that is shining brightly.
"You know what I really want?" Brice spoke as they are sitting under the tree, looking at the scenery.
Seto went to turn around to find Brice, grinning intensely.
"What is it?" Seto asked, tilting his head a bit.
Brice shoved Seto down the cliff, as Seto fell his tears fell down as his childhood friend, no, a person he thought was his best friend all throughout the years, grin while he fell down the cliff, remembering a line that made him puzzled until now.
"I wanna be someone I cannot be, and take what should be mine, no matter what."
