kakeru bursts into haiji’s life like a shooting star: fast and bright and brilliant, promise streaking behind him like a trail of starlight through the night sky.
it’s the kind of shock that upends haiji’s whole world. the sky seems to tilt. under his feet, the ground quakes. every cell of haiji’s body tells him to follow this star struck to earth, and so he does.
when haiji thinks back on that first meeting, he amuses himself by wondering if the universe gave him a gift that night: this boy with a perfect runner’s form and a deep-buried passion to match, even if haiji has to peel away the layers of apprehension and trauma to find it. with kakeru, the rest of it all falls into place: haiji’s team, coming together. haiji’s goal, becoming something tangible. haiji’s dream, burning big and warm and overwhelming, like the light at the end of the tunnel saying come home to me.
after the hakone ekiden, he tells kakeru this: “don’t you think it’s fate? us, finding each other when we needed it the most.”
kakeru blinks at the odd conversation topic. “haiji-san,” he finally says, “you believe in fate?”
if you could have seen what i saw in you then, haiji wants to say. there’s a strange stirring in his chest, his heartbeat in his ears. if you could understand what i see in you now.
before haiji can attempt to put this feeling into words, kakeru surprises him by answering his question. “i don’t know. i wasn’t really thinking about running that night, you know. i wasn’t really thinking about anything.”
“but you still stayed,” haiji says.
kakeru snorts. “you didn’t really give me a choice. are you sure you’re not the one pulling the strings of this so-called fate, haiji-san?”
haiji can’t resist: he reaches over to ruffle kakeru’s hair even as the other boy scowls and tries to bat his hand away. “maybe so! but if you really, really hated running, then you could’ve still left, you know.”
for a moment, kakeru considers this. from the grimace on his face, haiji guesses that he’s thinking about all the psychological manipulation (or so everyone claims—haiji maintains that he’s just naturally persuasive) he suffered. but when kakeru finally speaks, his voice is thoughtful.
“i don’t think i could. hate running, i mean. i don’t think i could ever truly hate running.” kakeru throws haiji a somewhat lost look, faltering.
even though kakeru trails off, haiji knows intimately what kakeru wishes to say. some things are ingrained so deep in your bones that they transcend the simplicity of love and hate. running, to them, is as much a way of life as it is a passion.
“i guess it doesn’t matter if it was fate or destiny or whatever,” kakeru decides with a shrug, pulling haiji out of his contemplation. “in the end, we still chose to run.”
