Cigarette and Tattoo
Airisu / Risukawa
Risu's cross tattoo is neat.
Only the area where the eyelids fold up has became a little smudged. Most of the cross-eyes members had a stain or trace of infection. It was the result of visiting a cheap tattooist. Or it could be said that their lives were not easy enough to pay attention to applying ointment on time.
Behind the lens of the mask, Aikawa moved his gaze along the border of Risu's cross tattoo. The corners are still sharp. I wonder how many times has he applied ointment there. Did he save money to visit a licensed tattooist at least? How long did he have to save money to carry a slightly less thin wallet?
Whewโ
Risu's cigarette smoke briefly swayed in eye height and then disappeared. Risu offered the half-left cigarette to him. It's the last stand. While Aikawa took off his mask, the ashes burned a little more. It fell over the rooftop fence.
Ah!
I forgot to pay back the money I borrowed last time to buy a pack of cigarettes.
The fingers receiving that half cigarette are cautious.
Aikawa burned the short cigarette to filter section with single inhale. Should I have spared it? I've already lost that one pack of cigarettes I put in my hoodie pocket. He sheepishly stirred the stale smoke in his mouth once before blowing it out. Today's windless air tied the smoke to the center of eyesight. Wobbly, wobbly. Like a swarm of flying bugs near some water.
Risu is stretching behind the scattering smoke. The dark red cross got slightly dented around the tightly closed eyes. How long will it take before that tattoo gets fully smudged? Will he save money again to get retouched? How much is the daily wage given by the cross-eyes? It was certainly not enough to buy a generous amount of cigarettes. Risu endured this week with half of a pack.
"Hey."
"Hmm?"
"Now that you know you have rare magic, are you going to leave the cross-eyes?"
"......"
Risu stopped in the middle of stretching and blinked a few times. Aikawa folded the filter in half and flicked it somewhere. Where did the lost pack go? I wish it was here now.
"No idea. I know what kind of magic I have, but can't figure out how it works. And there's still no smoke..."
Aikawa easily lost many things. Everything. And easily forgets about them. He never bothered to search for what he had lost. It was a 'heady' thing to do.
"...It's rare, but I don't think I can use it to make money..."
But as Risu kept talking, he felt needy for the lost pack of cigarettes.
"...The cross-eyes is a vague hope for people like me. Guess I'm not gonna leave just because I got a magic that I can't even use."
Desperately.
Splat.
A pack of cigarettes fell on the black puddle. Here it was. His hand reached out. But it did not pick up the cigarette. Flies flew up and scattered in the air by carelessly skimming hand. There is a zipper under them. The zipper opens up and the sound of bugs is deafening now.
Ah,
Risu,
Bloodstains were all over his eyes that are not fully closed. The hand took out a knife and started to tear off his throat.
Did you feel proud to see the cross tattoo came out neatly back in the day?
