You had known Joe, Cherry, and Adam ever since the four of you were in high school. Out of the three, you had met Joe, first, not soon before you met Cherry.
You were walking down the eventful streets of Okinawa, admiring the sights and getting accustomed with the area. You had moved to the city not too long ago and already were growing attached to the place. In your defense, the city was your perfect and desired location to live in.Â
A gentle breeze blew through your hair, rustling the leaves of the green trees. You sighed at the feeling of the cool breeze tickling your warm skin. Not long after that breeze had gone, another, harsher breeze blew past you. You flinched at the abnormally sharp wind, snapping your head to the side, in its direction. You were met with honey red eyes and short, green locks, swaying.Â
The male slips past you, stopping abruptly.
âSorry about that,â he smiled, embarrassed, âI didnât hurt you, did I?â
You were in awe, seeing what the boy was standing on, and on alert because you had always been taught to be cautious around strangers, especially when you were walking alone.Â
âUm, no. Iâm alright, just shocked,â you shrugged, replying quietly.
Another harsh, but gentler than before, wind blows past you, revealing a pink-haired male. He had three piercings on his ear and one on his lip. Half of the boyâs face was hidden by his long bangs, allowing your focus to lock on his golden eye.
âWatch where youâre going,â he snaps at his green-haired friend. âSorry about him,â he apologizes, giving you a polite smile.
All the sirens were going off in your head.
He has so many piercings! Is he a delinquent? Are both of them delinquents? If they are, I canât fight them off on my own. What do I do?
âIâm Kaoru,â the bubblegum-haired male suddenly said, âThis is Kojiro.â
Kojiro nodded at you, an embarrassed blush still grazing his cheeks.Â
âHey, arenât you the new kid?â Kaoru asked, finding your puzzlingly familiar.
âOh, thatâs why I felt like Iâve met you before,â Kojiro spoke up, nodding his head when he realized who you were.
Awkwardly, you shyly respond, âSorry, I canât seem to remember seeing you guys at school. Are you in my class?â
Until dusk, the three of you talked, getting to know the each of you better. You were also able to befriend the boys you were so afraid of, becoming your first two friends in the city.
You met Adam in the dark of night, beside Cherry and Joe.
They had brought you along, one night, wanting to skate with you. You already knew the basics of skating, nothing more, nothing less. Therefore, as your closest, and only, friends, they wanted to get further acquainted with you in something they loved.Â
âWhoâs the sweet cheeks?â His hoodie-covered eyes left an eerie pressure on you, causing goosebumps to emerge from your skin.
âThis is our close friend, Y/N L/N,â Cherry spoke up.
âShe goes to school with us, and we wanted to bring her skating. Mind her tagging along?â Joe asks his hooded friend.
âNot at all, just as long as she can keep up,â he spoke in a cocky tone.
The pretentious attitude the unnamed face had was irking you in the wrong way. He seemed too mysterious for your liking. A third of the boyâs face was hidden in the shadow of his hoodie, leaving you only able to see the blue tips of his hair and his structured nose.Â
He mustâve noticed your timid stare because he looks at you, under his hood, âCall me Adam.â
 Cherry and Joe look at you expectingly.
âJust call me sweet cheeks, for now,â you reply, distantly, not ready to let your guard down just yet.
You hear your two friends sigh, chuckling to each other.
âDonât worry, sheâll warm up to you, soon,â Cherry told Adam, âWe know firsthand how she is with meeting new people.â
You blush, remembering your first encounter with the pair.
Thinking back, you still regret letting your walls down and accepting Adam as a friend. Not a day goes by that Adam doesnât linger in your mind, as much as youâd hate to admit.Â
You despise that man with a passion. From your first interaction, you shouldâve known that there was something off about the blue-haired male, but pondering on these frustrations now wouldnât change anything. As much as youâd like to curse the man for hurting your friendsâ and your feelings, you knew you had to move on.
You sat on the soft mattress of your shared bed, scrolling through old pictures stored on your phone. You saw pictures taken by Kaoru when you guys went on dates. Majority of the photos were candid, seeing as he always had told you that you were the âmost photogenic womanâ he had ever met.
You remember the day he had told you that. You also remember your laughed reply.
âThen youâve got the whole world to explore, my love.â
Although, honestly, you thought Kaoru was quite the photogenic one himself. His gorgeous, sorted, pink hair matched with his golden eyes and perfect face never looked bad, not even at the crack of dawn or in the late of night.Â
Speaking of which, you scrolled upon a photograph of Kaoru sitting all pretty with his piercings on display. Those piercings brought back many memories, humorous and lustful.
Ironically, the thing that brought you fear before now brings you yearning.
Honestly, once you had befriended Kaoru and came to trust him, the piercings no longer frightened you but instead, fascinated you. Those metal hoops further increased your attraction to the ponytailed man, leading you to the relationship you were in now.
Obviously, Kojiro played a big role in setting the two of you up together because both of you were completely oblivious to the otherâs feelings. It got to the point that Adam almost had to step in and wack some sense into the both of you.
Anyways, ever since Kaoru had started working in the calligraphy business, he removed his piercings to maintain a professional image. You detested the idea, but you also knew that it was the best for his business.Â
Now that you were looking back at photos of Kaoru as a teenager, you began to crave seeing him in those metal rings once more. You missed the âbad boyâ look your boyfriend used to have, not that you didnât appreciate how he looked now. Itâs just that thereâs a different vibe to his current and past aesthetics.
As you stalked through more pictures of teenage Kaoru, you were unaware of the very man you were thinking about watching you. He noticed the longing and craving in your gaze. Then, he caught a glimpse of what was being projected on your screen: it was him but in his teenage years.Â
Suddenly, everything clicked for Kaoru, and he had the perfect plan in mind.
Something was off. Usually your boyfriend would insist on bringing you to âSâ himself but not today. If anything, he was urging you to go with Kojiro.
âHeâs been your friend for the same amount of time as I. You should take this time to your advantage and catch up,â was Kaoruâs excuse.
First of all, catch up on what? Itâs not like you havenât talked to Kojiro in months. Actually, you talked to him a day ago, at âS.â Secondly, whatâs up with the sudden lenience and weak excuses?
Joe, who was also in on the plan, tried to help his friend out, making a feeble attempt to lure you with free food.
âI can get free food from you whenever I want,â you replied, squinting suspiciously at your friend.
âNot with that attitude, you canât.â That pulled a raised brow from you and a regret-filled face from the muscular man.
Though you werenât fully convinced that nothing was off, you still left with Joe, caving into their terrible attempts of covering up whatever they were hiding from you.
You had arrived at âSâ with Joe for about ten minutes now, but there was still no sightings of your beloved, Cherry. Joe caught glimpse of your searching eyes and reassured you that he would be coming, be it later than usual.
Reki, Langa, and Miya had made their way over to you, sparking up a conversation with you, making you forget about the missing presence of a specific male.Â
Miya was explaining the new training regiment and diet he was to use in order to advance his strength, leading you to worry for the small teenager. If he didnât eat enough, it could become fatal to him. You didnât understand why a child was being treated so harshly by his managers, forcing him to eat barely anything and train long hours of the day.Â
You were concernedly asking Miya if he was feeling alright and offered him an energy bar you carried around in case of emergencies, which he gratefully accepted, when you heard the cheers of fangirls behind you. Knowing they werenât meant for Joe, you turned around to meet the golden eyes youâd fallen in love with.
This time, there was something different. His face wasnât hidden by his mask. You could see the pale skin of his cheeks and the pink of his lips. Besides the absence of the black cloth, you noticed metallic rings decorating your boyfriendâs lip and ears. Also, his hair wasnât whipping behind him, as per usual, but laid low, drifting in the wind.
For a hot moment, you had thought you had finally lost it, but when you blinked your eyes, looking at Miya then back to Cherry, you realized you were still sane and your boyfriend still looked like he aged back into his high school days.
âIs that Cherry?â Miya asked from beside you.
You heard someone let out a loud laugh beside you, âSince when did he have piercings?â
Ignoring the redheadâs outburst, you were mesmerized by the Cherry you had been obsessing over a couple days ago. It felt like one extravagant dream that you didnât want to wake up from. In your defense, as he stepped of his skateboard, coming to embrace you, he looked straight out of a fantasy. His skin was practically glowing, and his hair gently floated perfectly onto his shoulders.
âHello, darling,â he spoke in a sultry voice, placing a soft kiss to your forehead as he held you in his muscular arms.
âK-Kaoââ you quickly realize your soon-to-be mistake and fix it, âCherry.â
His eyes shrink as he laughs, endearingly, admiring the flustered and confused look you were portraying.
âIs this why you and Joe were being so weird earlier today?â You asked, cheek pressed against his slim, toned chest.
âIndeed, my love. What do you think? Definitely brings back some memories of the old days,â he lifts your chin, forcing you to look him in the eyes.
âI love it. Itâs perfect. Youâre perfect,â you smile brightly, eyes lustrous. Pushing yourself up on your toes, you whisper into his ear, âYou also look really hot.â You quickly pull away, turning a vibrant red.
âI think you broke her,â Joe told his friend, placing a heavy hand on the pink-netteâs shoulder.
After the supposed one occurrence surprise, you began to avidly ask him to wear his piercings, loving how attractive and domineering he looked in them. If he denied, you would ask him to, at least, tie his hair in the relaxed half up half down hairdo. He didnât mind the different hairstyle as much as he did the piercings so it became a normal look for him. The only times he would willingly put on his piercings were when he was going to âSâ or when the two of you were safe in the comfort of your own home, for research purposes.
