Our Story - Chapter 14. December 5th, 2009. Through dinner, I could feel my sister's eyes on me and I knew she was dying to get details on why Tadayoshi needed to stay with her. I was thankful that she at least waited until I had, for lack of a better phrase, come out of the closet. Ldquo;What about your family? Rdquo; My mother asked, refilling Tadayoshi's water glass. Ldquo;I don't really have family. My mom died when I was young and I've never really gotten along with my father.”. Everyone was silent,...

Our Story - Chapter 3. October 1st, 2009. Where are we going? Tadayoshi asked as he threw his bag over his shoulder and began following me out the front doors of the clinic. Today, he was wearing a pair of clothes that had been donated to the clinic that were a tad too small because of his height. If it weren't for that Gucci bag and his impeccable hairstyle, he would almost fit in with the rest of the homeless boys here. You'll see, I smiled, glancing over my shoulder at him. We were getting close to th...

Chapter 1 - Our First Session - chibakawa

Chapter 1 - Our First Session. September 21st, 2009. Chapter 1 - Our First Session. I got off of work in the wee hours of the morning after Tadayoshi arrived. One of the downsides of working night-shifts was that when I got off at 4AM, I had to wait an hour for the trains to start running again. On the way home, I stopped at a konbini and bought some cup noodles. I was nearly dead on my feet as I unlocked my apartment door, and immediately stripped out of my work clothes. I turned off the television....

Our Story - Chapter 12. November 12th, 2009. Murakami was almost constantly watching me, to the point where I was not able to focus during work. Subaru had also heard from Yoko that Tadayoshi's father had been making a fuss to the local police about searching my apartment. The most worrisome part was that for almost the entire week, there had been a car with black tinted windows parked outside of my apartment. I looked down to see him staring up at me. “Yeah, just tired.”. The question caught me off guar...

Our Story - Chapter 7. October 10th, 2009. The next day when I came into work, it was to a very strange atmosphere. For possibly the first time since I had began working at the clinic, Maru was not wearing his trademark ladies nurse uniform. Instead, he had on the clinic issued scrubs that most of the medical staff wore. Maru-chan, I called, watching as the older man poured a cup of coffee that was already so full, its contents were spilling out onto the counter. Hey Maru! I whispered to him. I suggested...

Our Story - Chapter Ten. October 27th, 2009. My sister was sitting at my table, sipping at a cup of freshly made tea. Tadayoshi was in the kitchen, trying to prepare some breakfast from what little food I had left in my house. Only minutes earlier, I had sent Tadayoshi into my bedroom to get dressed. With the half-naked man out of the picture I had invited my sister into my apartment, somewhat reluctantly. I wanted to tell her that it wasn't what it looked like, but there was no way any person in their r...

Chapter Two - Our Worries. September 30th, 2009. It was like our roles had reversed. Every time I knew I had a session with Tadayoshi, I would get nervous butterflies in my stomach. As unprofessional as it sounds, I had even thought once or twice about canceling one of our therapy sessions just so that I wouldn't have to sit through it. Sometimes I felt we had a deeper connection than simply patient-doctor. I just felt that he understood me. I said, coughing down the last bit of rice. I nodded and pushed...

Our Story - Chapter 6. October 6th, 2009. At twenty-three, it was my first time in love. I was in such a good mood that morning that I didn't even need my usual cup of coffee to combat crankiness. I grabbed the photo album and slipped it into my briefcase before putting on a pair of shoes. I had no idea what to do with it, but it worried me much less that day. As I approached the clinic, I noticed that Yokoyama was again loitering outside. Yoko! I looked at him with concern. He was barely able to hol...

Our Story - Chapter 11. November 3rd, 2009. The work day could not have ended soon enough for me. After the fight I had with Murakami, I spent the rest of the day hiding in my office. As I had suspected, none of my regular patients stopped in for open office hours. I had already decided that Tadayoshi was worth giving everything up for. But if I had to give Tadayoshi up, what would I have left? I let out a sigh of relief as I saw Tadayoshi and my sister sitting on the couch, sorting through some bags.

http://chibakawa.livejournal.com/2046.html
Our Story - Chapter 5. October 3rd, 2009. Nearly nine am, I was halfway done with the searches on my side of the hallway. I had already been at work for ten hours and was nearly dead on my feet. Two other nurses were helping me conduct the search, which not only sped things up significantly, but took some of the physical exertion away from me. It occurred to me that it was a very slim chance that someone had stolen the album. Who would want to steal something full of someone else's memories? Not finding ...
