Authors Comments: This idea (and a few lines of dialogue) literally just hit me like five minutes ago, at about 1:30 in the morning, though the idea has been festering somewhere in my brain for a long time. There is just something beautiful to be said about naïve feelings of love between two best friends. I have personal experience along these lines so this story hits me rather close to home. Enjoy ^_~

---~---~---

 

It was another beautiful spring afternoon in Tokyo, and as usual, the Tohoku High School grounds where covered with students, fresh from classes, enjoying the wonderful weather they had been missing.

However there were two freshmen students who were unlucky enough not to be outside on such a glorious day. One of these unfortunate students, Shuichi Shindo from Class B first year, was slumped half in and half out of an open third floor window, watching his fellow classmates have fun while he was stuck with classroom clean up. He twirled the feather duster in his hand idly through the light breeze as he pouted and glared at them.

 

“Man, why are we stuck up in here while the rest of those slackers get to go home? Huh Hiro?” Shuichi asked loudly as he turned his back on the freedom of the outside and returned his attention to the boring classroom. His best friend, Hiroshi Nakano, who was currently busy sweeping the floor, gave him a sympathetic look.

 

“I know you're bummed about missing such a nice afternoon,” He replied quietly as he stopped sweeping briefly to re-tighten his pony tail of shoulder length brown hair, “But their not slackers. Don't forget that you were the one who volunteered us to take over your “girlfriends” cleaning duties on top of your own this week.”

 

Shuichi looked taken aback by the truth being thrust in his face.

He didn't like the way Hiro had exaggeratedly said “girlfriend” either. Tsubaki-chan and Shuichi had been going out for almost three weeks, ( a world record for our awkward young lad) so he had felt it was his boy-friendly duty to help out his girl in her time of need. Her family was going on a trip and she would be missing a week of school, so of course Shu had instantly volunteered to take over her classroom duties for her until she got back…He just forgot that his own scheduled duties were that week as well.

After all was said and done he and Hiro (Who had been guilted into helping) were stuck cleaning the classroom every day that week. Luckily today was Saturday and so classes had ended at one o'clock, but Shuichi and Hiro still had about forty five minutes worth of cleaning to do before they could finally leave. Shu was not making things go any faster by sulking about and complaining while Hiro did all the work either.

 

Shuichi let out a huge exaggerated sigh and grudgingly got to his feet to begin dusting off the book shelves at the side of the classroom.

Hiro stopped sweeping again and leaned against the broom as he watched his friend slouch around the far side of the room, dusting random things in a rather half assed manner.

It made something in his chest feel heavy and sad to see his best friend so downtrodden on such a beautiful day. He was tempted to just say “screw this” and take Shuichi outside to play Frisbee or something, but the sensible side of him took that thought and threw it out before Hiro even had a chance to do more than think about it. He sighed softly and started sweeping again, all the while his brain still trying desperately to decipher the ache in his chest.

 

Now that he thought about it, he had been feeling rather strange as of late. Perhaps he was coming down with something?

His chest would feel tight, he started to sweat for no apparent reason that he could detect but whenever he was around Shuichi he seemed to feel more at peace, despite his strange illness. As he reached for the dust pan, Hiro tried to think of a reason for his sporadic symptoms, but nothing came to mind. He wasn't eating less and hadn't changed his sleep patterns since entering high school, so that couldn't be what was wrong. As far as he knew his life hadn't really changed at all, so why the sudden sickness? He just couldn't think of anything and decided to ask Shuichi if maybe he knew what was wrong with him.

 

“Hey Shu?” Hiro called out as he dumped the dustpans contents into the trash bin, “Can I ask you something?”

 

Shuichi turned on his heel and plunked himself down onto a desktop so he could sneak a break and speak to his friend at the same time.

“You just did!” came his smart ass reply.

 

“Oh ha ha, very funny! But really I'm being serious man, can I ask you a question?”

 

Shuichi held up his hands in defeat as he laughed.

“Okay, I'll cut the comedy routine for now. What's on your mind?”

 

Hiro wasn't quite sure how to begin, so he just decided to tell Shu everything.

 

“Well, I think I might be sick or something, I mean I don't feel sick, but my body acts sick. I know that doesn't make any sense, but it's really starting to freak me out!”

 

“Hmm…Well what do you mean by your body acts sick, but you don't feel sick?”

 

Hiro was again unsure of what to say, because it was hard to understand it himself, let alone put the feeling into words so he could explain it to Shuichi.

“Well, I mean I feel strange, but not sick strange, just weird. And then my body gets all hot. I start to sweat, and I get this heavy sort of pulling feeling in my neck and chest. It's here for a while and then it just goes away all of a sudden. What's wrong with me man?“

 

Shuichi pretended to stroke an imaginary goatee on his chin as he thought.

 

“Well, taking all your symptoms into account, I would have to saaaaaay….that you're in love!”

 

Hiro's mouth opened in surprise and his eyes widened. Shuichi must be lying, he was sure he would know if he was in love or not. “What? No way! In love? That can't be what it does to you. And how would you know anyway?”

 

Shuichi closed his eyes and shook his head, smiling.

“Aww poor Hiro. Don't you see, I have a girlfriend so of course I know what it feels like to be in love,” He declared proudly, “ Whenever I'm with Tsubaki-chan I get all nervous and sweaty and I feel really uncomfortable, the same as you. But once she leaves and I'm all alone I don't feel sick anymore. That's the only thing I can think of that could be making you feel that way. Face it, you`re in love with someone.”

 

Hiro couldn't really deny it anymore. All the symptoms Shu described seemed to match up fairly well with his own, but who was he in love with? The only person that was around 100% of the time when his love-sickness started to affect him was…

Hiro's mouth dropped and his shoulders tensed.

 

Shuichi took notice of his friends paled expression and knew that Hiro must have just realized who he was in love with.

 

“Oooh! Hiro's got a cruuush! So who is it lover boy? I bet it's that new girl in Class A, I`ve seen you looking at her before in the cafet….”

 

Shuichi continued on speaking and listing people when Hiro muttered, “It's…you…”

 

“…short haired one in gym class, or maybe it's that weird girl with the nose ring that reads those really gory manga in the hall? I hope it`s not her….”

 

“It's you,” Hiro said a little louder this time, but Shuichi still didn't hear him and just continued rambling.

 

“I said it's you okay!” Hiro finally yelled, fists clenched at his sides. Shu shut his mouth immediately and stared.

 

The air was suddenly very thick around the two of them, like someone had filled the room with invisible peanut butter.

Hiro started to feel sick again and sank down to the floor next to the wall, one arm propping his head up on a raised knee. He yanked his elastic out and let his long brown locks cascade down to hide his face behind a curtain of hair.

 

“I can't think of anybody else it could be,” He explained quietly. “I don't get sick unless your in the room with me…I just never knew it was you specifically that was causing it before. But just a little while ago I was looking at you and I felt the same way, like… my chest -my heart- was going to burst.”

 

Shuichi didn't know what to say. It wasn't everyday that his best friend confessed to being in love with him.

 

“So,” Hiro continued, his face still turned away and hidden behind his long hair, “…I understand if you…don`t want to hang out with me anymore, you know, now that I`m a homo… and everything…”

 

Shuichi was shocked from his confusion by these words.

At that moment he realized that he didn't care if Hiro was gay or not. He jumped off the desk and knelt down beside his best friend.

He had something to confess as well.

 

“Hiro, look at me,” He said as he gently brushed the hair back from his friends face and bent around to look into his averted eyes, “Please look at me?”

 

With some reluctance, the brunette turned his gaze to meet that of his friends. What he saw was not hatred or disgust, but love and compassion.

 

Looking into Shu's smiling, accepting face, Hiro suddenly felt a little better, like some of the pressure had been let out of his chest.

He smiled back at his friend and Shuichi's hand came across to rest on his cheek.

 

“I don't hate you Hiro. I …I'm pretty sure that I love you too, the way you love me, and I will never stop being your friend, no matter what.”

The long haired young man began opening his mouth to say something, but Shuichi suddenly just leaned in a gave him a quick awkwardly placed kiss on the upper corner of his mouth.

 

“Sorry! Sorry Hiro!” Shuichi stammered as he bowed his head in embarrassment, “I didn't mean to do that without asking, but you were going to say something and I was going to lose my nerve! I know I shoul-”

 

Hiro stopped Shuichi's mouth from running away by placing a finger on his lips. He was stunned at first by Shuichi's expression of feelings and then that awkward kiss, but as the boy kept rambling on about how sorry he was, the brunette felt he needed to reassure him that they were both appreciated.

 

“It's okay Shuichi. You don't have to apologize…I liked it.”

Hiro whispered softly, as he watched to see what his friends reaction would be. If it had just been a quick pity kiss then Shu wouldn't have looked as happy as he did.

 

“Y-you did? I, well that's good I guess. I've never, actually…kissed anybody before …so I wasn't sure how exactly to do it.”

 

“You've never kissed anyone before? But you have a girlfriend haven't you two-”

 

“No,” Shu said quickly, “We just sort of hold hands around school and send texts and e-mails to each other…I never really wanted to kiss her before and I didn't know how anyway so I just never did it.”

 

“Oh, well…I've never kissed a girl either so I couldn't tell you how to do it…” Hiro hated to admit it, but since they were being open with each other he might as well be honest about his skill level.

 

Shuichi went deep in thought for a moment.

“Want to… try it out again?” He asked timidly, “The kissing I mean. I wasn't very good at my first try, but if you try too I'm sure we could make it work the way it's supposed to…well except that neither one of us is a girl.”

 

“Does… that matter to you?” Hiro asked hesitantly, uncertainty gripping his body once more as his eyes switched to looking sad and wounded.

 

Shuichi realized what he had said and quickly waved his hands to cancel it out. “No no no! I like you as a guy Hiro, it's just that all I've ever seen are guys kissing girls, and I'm pretty sure I know how that works. But I've never seen two guys kiss before so I'm not sure if it's done the same way.”

 

Hiro relaxed immediately after hearing this and took hold of Shuichi's waving hands to still them.

 

“Ah, sorry Hiro I- I`m just so nervous about-”

 

“Then stop talking and let me try kissing you then. Would that be better?”

 

Shu nodded his head quickly and just sat their waiting patiently, unsure of what to do.

 

Hiro slowly started to lean in, but before their lips could meet Shu started talking again.

 

“Hey wait!”

 

“What? Did I hurt you or something?” He immediately dropped Shuichi's hands and held his own up and away form the smaller boys body, still not sure what he had done.

 

“No no! I just thought of something! Who leans sideways?”

 

Hiro was now very confused. At least he hadn't hurt Shu, that was the main thing. “What? Sideways?”

 

“Yah, you know sideways! Like on movies the girl always turns her head sideways when the guy kisses her. I think we need to do that to make it work! But since neither of us is a girl who leans sideways?”

 

“Oooh…right I never thought of that, but …that's a French kiss. Do you want to try doing that? Because I'm sure you only need to do the head tilting thing when you French kiss.”

 

“Oh, French kissing, I forgot. Uh, well wouldn't that mean you have to put your tongue… in my mouth…or something?”

 

“Yah,” Hiro said with a smile. He then quickly said, “but if you don't want to we can just do regular kissing if that's to weird.”

 

Shuichi had a strange look on his face, like he didn`t know how to feel about having another guys tongue in his mouth, but he didn't take long to answer.

“No it's not gross! Well, it might feel weird, but it's the way everyone kisses right? So I think we should do that.”

 

Hiro was actually relieved, because now that he knew who he loved, he really wanted to try that out.

“I totally agree, and since I'm the one kissing you, then shouldn't you go sideways?”

 

Shuichi looked up at the ceiling as if he was replaying every kissing scene from every movie he'd ever watched to find the right answer to their problem.

 

“I guess that makes sense. So I'll go sideways uh…to the right! And, and you just come at me straight then…okay?”

 

Hiro smiled and for a brief moment, wondered how many girl movies Shuichi had stored up in his brain, before saying, “Sounds like a plan.”

 

“Right…so uh I guess this is it then. I'll just….wait hold on one sec you`re to tall.”

Shu scooted a little more to the right so that he was actually kneeling between Hiro's legs and looking at him straight on instead of up at him. Their mouths were more equal this way.

 

The brunette ran a hand through his hair and sighed. This was more work then he thought it would be. He wondered why people did it so much if it was so much of a hassle to get right.

 

“Okay ready!” Shuichi said smiling, “Kiss away!”

 

Hiro smiled softly and decided that, rather than going blind, he was going to try imitating a kiss he had seen on TV the other night, so that he wouldn't screw it up. He just had to replace the girl with Shuichi, he was doing all the girl parts anyway so it should be no problem.

 

The long haired boy reached a slightly shaking hand out as he leaned in and stroked it along Shuichi's jaw from his ear to his chin, drawing his face closer to his own. Shu sighed quietly, closing his eyes at Hiro's soft touch and feather light use of control. Something inside Hiro's lower body tightened at that small innocent noise and it made his pulse quicken.

 

The moment of drawing their mouths together seemed to last forever and there was a tense moment when Hiro wasn't sure if Shu would remember to turn his head like he was supposed to, but just like clock work when their lips were almost touching Shuichi simply tilted his chin to the right and parted his lips.

 

The moment their mouths joined fireworks went off inside Hiro's brain and in other parts of his body. He most definitely did love Shuichi and now he was sure that Shu loved him back.

 

But, Shuichi wasn't going to make the first move, so Hiro had to be the one to slip his tongue out and into the other boys mouth. Shu made a sound low in his throat the moment his friends tongue touched his own. His arms moved up instinctually around Hiro's neck, his fingers playing gently with the collar of his uniform and winding themselves into his hair to massage the soft juncture where head met neck.

It was Hiro's turn to make noises now, and as Shu's hands did wonderful things to his hair and neck, he tilted his head more to the left to allow his friends tongue more room to move into his own mouth. The feeling was something too pleasurable and intimate to describe, so slippery and moist, and they were both quickly running out of breath.

 

After an intense thirty five seconds of bliss they both suddenly broke apart gasping. Neither of them remembered to breathe.

 

They both just looked at each other smiling as they caught their breath.

 

Hiro was the first one to speak.

“So? How was I? Am I am good kisser?”

 

Shuichi barely nodded, but Hiro didn't even have enough time to react or feel sad because Shu was suddenly latched back around his neck, tongue forcing his way into the brunette's mouth.

 

Hiro had loved being in control of the last kiss, and it had done mad things to his groin, but Shuichi was hyper and when he got excited he tended to go a little crazy. This was no exception. Hiro was forced back into the wall and Shuichi shot forward to place his knees on either side of the long haired boys slender hips, rubbing his lower half along Hiro`s the whole way there.

 

Both boys were moaning low with excitement and Hiro's groin was begging for Shu to stop or for release and so despite their previous shyness and inexperience, he did what came natural and ground his hips up into Shuichi.

Shuichi ground right back down, spreading his legs slightly as he ran a hand up under Hiro`s open uniform jacket and white cotton shirt to feel his chest..

The older boy was just managing to keep up with Shu's fast paced kissing, when suddenly he slowed and then stopped completely. Shuichi leaned back off his knees, removing his hand from Under Hiro's shirt to sit down on the brunettes thighs. His head rested heavily on the boys chest while one hand went up around his neck.

Hiro reached both arms around his best friend and pulled him close into a warm hug.

 

Shuichi spooned himself to Hiro`s lap and chest as best he could, wrapping his arms around the older boys back to embrace him fully.

“Sorry I stopped. I got dizzy,” Shu apologized breathlessly, “…Sorry I got carried away,…I'm…so sleepy…now…”

 

Hiro was starting to feel rather drowsy as well and it wasn't long before he was fast asleep, with Shu snoozing on top of him, wrapped tightly around his body like a little monkey. A little monkey with a hard on, and a talent for handing out tongue fuckings, but a monkey all the same.

Authors Closing Comments:

Well it is now six a.m. in the morning and I am exhausted! Whew! What did you think of that one? Having finished it, I can definitely see this stemming into another chapter, possibly two. But I don't have the stamina to develop a new character plot right at the moment, I have way to many things to finish before I jump to deep into another story line, especially one where I have to go back in time and make almost everything up and change the future and shit…So don't expect this to grow into it's own multi chapter fic anytime soon. It's probably safe to say you could start getting your hopes up around Christmas time….or Hanukah time I guess would work to. Maybe New Years, something like that. It all depends on when I finish my current ongoing serial pieces. I hope you enjoyed that as much as I enjoyed writing it!
