It was a hit to his pride, having Hiro refuse to accompany him. Goro didn’t even have a clue as to what’d happened between him and Hikaru, but clearly it’d been more than enough to stir some trouble. Enough to make Hikaru so on the defense last night. Despite his own threats, he hadn’t even touched Hiro’s phone. Hadn’t blocked communication between the pair of friends that they’d apparently become.
Just the thought of it made his stomach turn. Was this just how it was going to be? Before everything ended (possibly), Hikaru was going to connect more with his brother than him? Going to just replace him with the more appealing twin? ...A part of him couldn’t blame him, but it didn’t make him any less upset about it.
Passing through the main floor of Leblanc without a word, he would go up the steps with a brief knock on the wood of the wall to give notice that he was there and coming up. It was eerily quiet, after all. Unusual for a meeting. Was he the first one, then? You’d think Futaba at least be around-- Getting up the steps, he found it was true.
It was just the two of them. Great.
“Hiro said he’d come around on a different train. Wanted nothing to do with me this morning. Did you have something to do with that, too?”
