Hachirou's POV
(Flashback)
“I’m so excited, you know that Shichirou?” I exclaimed that morning during breakfast as me, Shichirou, and little Kurou were at the table eating. Mom leaves for work early so she wasn’t home in the morning to cook breakfast, so Shichirou usually does it. And he does a pretty good job too, actually.

“I had no clue,” he replied, sarcastically. Today, as I was just starting junior high, he was going to start high school. And he was acting totally cool about it, just like a high schooler would.

“Why aren’t you happy about starting high school?” I asked.

“Well high school is practically the same thing as junior high, only in a bigger place. Its not all that impressive, once you’re used to it,” he explained coolly.

“I’m just happy I won’t have to be around any girls anymore! They are so bitchy and whiney about everything!” I pointed out. “Plus, I’ll be going to school with Kaito from now on, nothing could be better than that!”

The moment I said that, the doorbell rang and I got up to go answer it, knowing it was Kaito. We were going to take the bus to school together.

“Hey Kai-kai! I’m ready to go!” I exclaimed as I grabbed my book bag and left out the door.

“Gee you were ready,” Kaito spoke as we walked to the bus stop.

“No kidding! It is going to be smooth sailing for me from now on until I graduate high school, I’m going to be with my only best friend, and that’s all I need,” I told him, putting my arm around Kaito comfortingly.

“Hey, thanks,” he said, smiling.

Once the bus came and we stepped on, the excitement in me went to a whole new level. Once I saw some of the guys sitting on the bus, I felt a knot in my stomach. It was the weirdest thing I’ve ever felt, but I just thought they were all so cute! I’ve never really thought anyone as cute before, not girls nor boys, so I have no clue what was happening to me.

Kai found us a seat near the back and he pulled me beside him. I was thankful he had, because I might’ve been starting to stare.

“Kaito, Kaito!” I whispered to him urgently. “This is important- look at me. Do I look gay to you?”

He looked at me with wide eyes, before replying, “No, why would you think you are?”

“I just… I just…” I stuttered. I couldn’t quite get the words out, how could I tell him something like this? Will he hate me afterwards? “I thought some of these guys were cute.”

“Well… my dad told me thoughts like that were normal, and that we’d grow out of them eventually,” Kaito explained, while twisting the strap of his backpack between his hands.

“That’s, um-” I began to say, before I noticed how tight my black school pants had gotten. God damn puberty, my brother said this kind of stuff would just happen for no real reason at all. And it has too, since the end of sixth grade. At the most random, embarrassing moments I’d get hard. But never did I think I’d get them from looking at guys, even if they were cute. “Look, are you sure about that?”

“I… I hope he’s right. He said things like being attracted to other guys happens to everybody, but most people are just too ashamed to admit it. Some even go as far as experimenting,”

“Experimenting…” I repeated, thinking aloud.

We reached the stop, and got off the bus, promptly. We all headed inside the school to just walk around and check things out before class started.

As me and Kaito were walking, this kid came out of nowhere and pinned Kaito against the wall, shouting, “Kai did you miss me?”

“Masaru!” Kaito exclaimed, as the kid started tickling Kaito, making him giggle. “C’mon, cut it out, stop!”

I assumed that Masaru must’ve been someone he knew from elementary school, although I didn’t know he had any other friends at his old school.

Finally the brunette stopped tickling him, and mussed up Kaito’s spiky red hair, proclaiming, “You haven’t talked to me all summer! Boy have you grown!”

Kaito looked up at the brunette replying, “Um, I think you’re the one who’s done the most growing here.”

“Aw come on Kai, you’ve gotten taller too,” he reassured the red-head. “And look at this baby face, it hasn’t changed a bit!” Masaru complimented him as he squeezed his cheeks.

“Um Masaru, this is my best friend Hachirou Kurogane,” Kaito introduced me to his friend.

Despite the fact that he kind of gave me an annoying first impression, I thought he was kind of cute. Oh God, here I go again.

“So you’re the guy who came from a mixed school! It’d be kind of weird to go to a school with girls, since I’ve been with boys practically all my life,” he explained.

“I came here because I can’t stand being around girls anymore, they annoy me,” I told him. “Now um, me and Kai kind of have to get going, class is going to start soon.”

“Aww, alright! You’re going to take my Kai-kai away from me!” he fake cried, glomping Kaito.

“I’ll see you later,” Kaito reminded his friend, who was practically cutting off his air.

“Alright, see you later then,” Masaru said as he let Kaito go, and headed off in the opposite direction.

New school was exciting, and so much different from elementary school. I liked it, and I think Kaito did too. We were walking from the bus stop, and since we were the first ones to get home from school, we decided to hang out at my house.

“Oh my Goooood,” I exclaimed when we walked into the living room. “I know you hate TMI but I’m hoooorny!”

“You’re weird, shut up. You can’t be horny if you’ve never had sex before, right?” Kaito reminded me.

“True. But sometimes I wish I could,”

“But with who? I thought you didn’t like girls,”

“I don’t. But there is someone I like. I don’t know his name, but he’s tall, dark, and handsome and sexy and I’d do anything to get him to screw me once. I want him to be my first, I decided that today,”

“And you’ve never spoken to him,”

“No, but I’ll try tomorrow. I think he’s in a different grade than us, since I only saw him sitting outside after school,”

“So you expect an older kid you don’t know to want to do that?”

“If I get to know him enough he might,”

Kaito got quiet after that, and paid more attention to the tv that was on but we really hadn’t been watching it.

“Kaito I’m so serious. And it’s not just the fact I think he’s cute, but I’ve also been wondering… how do you think it would feel for two guys to have sex?”

“Uh, I don’t know… unnatural?” he replied. “Look, didn’t I tell you you’ll probably out grow all of this?”

“Look, I need to know now whether I’m really… you know… or not,” I argued.

Before he could say anything against it further, we heard my brother and a companion come through the door, not stopping to say anything to us as they headed quickly up the stairs.

“Hey look, that was him!” I exclaimed excitedly, tugging the red-head towards the stairs.

“He’s in high school?!”

“Well… I guess so. But is that so bad? C’mon, lets go upstairs,” I urged him, leading him to the second floor.

We tried to be as quiet as we could as we walked up the stairs, coming to the first bed room on the right. The door was slightly cracked open, so we kneeled on the floor and peered in my older brother’s room. I especially didn’t expect what I saw, him and my brother inching ever so closer on the bed.

“Is this your first time?” the navy-haired boy asked my brother.

“No,” Shichirou lied. At least, he seemed like he was lying.

“Then,” he spoke as he firmly pushed Shichirou down on the bed, “You know what’s going to happen.” My brother nodded.

“Hachi-” Kaito whispered but I covered his mouth, shushing him. I wanted to see exactly what the master was going to do. Yes, the master.

The pair started kissing, at first little light kisses that escalated into rougher ones. Then, it looked like there was a tongue involved. He started feeling my brother’s chest, then they both interrupted the kissing to take their shirts off. After the short pause, the “master” did something I certainly didn’t know about (well I didn’t know about a lot of stuff), he started running his tongue around one of my brother’s nipples. It actually looked like it felt good, especially because of the face Shichirou was making. I wanted him to do things like that to a novice like me.

“C’mon Takeshi, stop messing around…” Shichirou groaned.

“Alright, I’ll stop messing around,” Takeshi replied calmly. “You sure you want me to do it?” he asked, rubbing the hard-on Shichirou now sported through his school pants.

“Y-yeah,” he choked out, apparently trying to ignore the boy’s ministrations.

They were both moving too fast for me, I was still stuck on the whole nipple thing! Little did I know exactly how much they were going to be doing this afternoon.

Takeshi unbuttoned my brother’s black pants, and tugged down both that and his underwear, exposing him to the world… room. It was kind of awkward for me, but I really wasn’t paying attention to Shichirou, I was paying attention to the things Takeshi was doing to Shichirou… and imagining he was doing them to me instead. And I was thoroughly impressed by what he did next, he took my brother’s length in his mouth. By the look on Kaito’s face he was impressed too.

“See Kai, he knows what he’s doing. Wouldn’t you want someone to do that to you?” I whispered. He just blushed and nodded, looking away from me. “What’s the matter?” I asked.

“Nothing,” he whispered back. “Is something the matter with you?”

“Nope,” I lied. Nothing besides the fact my pants were tight for the second time that day, from looking at a guy giving head, no less. My manhood was being tested today, and I was failing horribly. Although I think Kaito was failing too.

By then, I was beginning to think that Takeshi was aware he had an audience even though my brother wasn’t since he was engulfed in pleasure at the moment. But I guess that didn’t bother the stoic boy, and he calmly continued seducing my brother.

“Takeshi… Takeshi take me now,” Shichirou more or less commanded.

The navy-haired boy replied with an, “As you wish,” before taking off the rest of his own clothes. God was he sexy, he was fit and toned like a football player so they must play on the same team or something. I swear, the sight of a naked Takeshi was enough to make me cum then and there.

“Now turn around,” he instructed Shichirou, before reaching for a bottle sitting on the dresser. He squeezed out the contents and spread it over his fingers, before sticking two of them inside my brother. “Are you sure this isn’t your first time? You’re so tight.”

“Of- of course it’s not!” Shichirou insisted.

Takeshi added another finger, and then a fourth, and all the while I just wanted to run in there and have him do all that to me instead. “Takeshi fuck me, not him!” I hissed inwardly.

“Jealous, much?” Kaito snickered.

“You shut up!” I snapped back.

The outcry of, “Oh fuck, Takeshi!” from my brother interrupted Kaito and me’s train of thought and focused back on the scene in front of us. This guy actually went all the way with my brother. And I actually just watched him, that’s the weird part.

As Takeshi was making thrusts into Shichirou, he was also stroking him at the same time. Soon, the double stimulation must’ve been too much for him, because my brother was the first to cum, his seed spilling on the bed. Moments after, Takeshi came hard inside Shichirou.

And yet still, after this masterful display, I hadn’t came yet. I wasn’t going to be weak, but unfortunately this proved I must be… you know.

Kaito tugged at my sleeve and muttered, “Um Hachirou, I’ll be… I’ll be in the bathroom ‘kay?” The little red head got up and quickly made his way down the hall, leaving me all alone to be caught.

“C’mon little blondie, I know you’re there already,” Takeshi called me, gesturing me to come in the bedroom. I obeyed, even though I knew my brother was going to be so pissed I saw all that. And his face said just that as I slinked in and sat on the end of the bed, closer to Takeshi and at a safe distance from Shichirou.

“Shichirou he’s cute, he looks just like you,” Takeshi spoke as he sat on the end of the bed next to me, with one of the comforters covering his lower half. Damn.

“Yeah, real cute. Not to mention nosey,” he replied, not sounding too happy either. I guess I kind of ruined his me-and-Takeshi time but oh well, I will steal things I like. “I’m going to the bathroom,” he announced, getting up.

“Kai’s in the one upstairs,” I told him as he left out the room.

I’m glad he left, now me and Takeshi are alone together. And boy did he jump on that opportunity to seduce me right away. “Gee Hachirou you’re so hard, you must’ve enjoyed the show, huh?” he said casually as he pulled me into his lap and swiftly stuck his hand down my pants, giving me a hand-job. Honestly, it was a relief to have such a sensation and I knew I’d rather cum in the hands of Takeshi than anyone else. Literally.

“So when are you going to do all that with me?” I asked eagerly.

“One day,” he teased.

“Soon?”

“Soon,”

“I hope so,” I moaned. I was near climaxing and my body was giving in to his actions. “Takeshi… Takeshi I’m going to-”

Before the words could even come out, I spilled even on Takeshi’s hands. I was kind of embarrassed, but I guess it wasn’t really bad since he didn’t look bothered or anything.

“I can’t get over how cute you both are, especially that face you just made,” he said, smiling as he wiped his hands with the tissues from the box on the dresser.

“You really think I’m that cute?” I questioned, my happiness escalating.

He nodded, adding, “And it’s actually kind of funny that it was you and your brother’s first time on the same day.”

“But he said-”

“He was obviously lying just to impress me, but I really don’t care,”

“If you knew me and Kaito were there why didn’t you stop?”

“Because the looks on you guys’ faces were priceless, and plus I was thinking like ‘hey, I wonder what it’s like to have sex with an audience?’ I knew your brother would be upset but hey, I broke my record by making three people cum at one time,”

I thought his answer was pretty funny, but I really didn’t want to chat with somebody I liked while I was still all gross like this, so once Shichirou came back from the downstairs bathroom I went down there.



Kaito's POV
When Hachirou finally returned to his room, dressed in leisure clothes, I was sitting on his bed quietly. I wasn’t quite sure how he would think of me from then on, hell I wasn’t sure of how I’d feel about myself. I came from watching two guys going at it, and on top of that… I kind of had a crush on Hachirou for awhile.

Me and my dad talked a lot (although I talked more with my mom when she was alive), and I felt I could talk to him about anything. Even if I was having feelings towards other guys. So the other night when he called himself giving me “the talk”, I told him about how I was starting to feel towards other guys, namely Hachirou. And when I said that, he told me it was perfectly natural and it happened to guys all the time, because of hormones and overt sexual needs and all that stuff.

But after today, I’m thinking it might not go away. It might not be a “phase” or a “stage” I’m going through, I think I might really be… the “g” word.

Hachirou twirled around the bedroom announcing, “He touched me in such nice ways. God I hope it happens again one day.”

“Did he… just that fast…?” I questioned, wondering if in the short amount of time I was cleaning up in the bathroom they had sex or something.

“No, we didn’t do all that. Like I said, he touched me in such nice ways,” Hachirou repeated.

“Meaning…?”

“He gave me a- Well actually I’ll tell the whole story. See, he was in the room and Shichirou got pissed and left, leaving me and Takeshi to be alone. So he commented on how hard I was, and said I must’ve enjoyed the show, and then…” Hachirou trailed on with his story.

So basically, my fear was closer to becoming reality than I realized. I didn’t want Takeshi to be his first, Takeshi probably didn’t care about him like I did. In fact I know Takeshi doesn’t, he went from one brother to the next in a matter of minutes! What would stop him from doing it with other high school kids as well?

But still… I suppose it doesn’t matter. Me and Hachirou have been friends since we were in diapers, there would be no way he would even consider going all the way with me.

“Kaito, I wish there was a way I could practice… you know, sex. If I do get to go all the way with Takeshi, I don’t want to act like a total virgin or anything. He’s experienced so he’ll know if I’ve never did it before,” Hachirou pondered aloud.

“So how exactly do you plan to “practice” sex?” I snapped.

He thought a second, before letting out a small gasp and replying, “How about you and I…?”

“What are you implying?” I exclaimed. “Hachirou I can’t!…”

“Do you find me that repulsive?” he asked, purposely trying to make me feel guilty.

Then I thought about it: why be so quick to dismiss the idea if I’d be getting what I wanted? Sure, I’d be nothing but a ploy in his plan to impress Takeshi, but what the hell would that mean? If I just got to have sex with Hachirou once, I’d be alright? The very thought just leaves so many questions unanswered, but I suppose there’s no harm in having sex with someone else you already know is a virgin too, and your best friend.

“No, I don’t find you repulsive or anything, I was just thinking. I mean, this is a pretty serious thing, do you think we’re ready for this?”

“Well I know everything we’re supposed to do in the off-chance we do decide to go through with it, at least all the stuff that they told us in health class last year. You know, the protection, the this and the that-”

“But why do we need any of that stuff? We’re both guys, neither of us will get pregnant or anything!”

“STDs, remember?”

I’ve got to give it to Hachirou, in the face of a challenge he… remembers stuff. Which remembering and thinking are two things he often does not do. “Oh yeah,” I replied, slightly embarrassed. It’s my job to remember important things like that.

“So… my mom won’t be home until late tomorrow, like usual, Shichirou has football practice, and Kurou has chess club,” Hachirou began, scratching his head and looking in another direction. The weirdest thing was, Hachirou’s done a lot of other things before me and better than me, but this would be uncharted territory for the both of us. And I think he was starting to get nervous just with the prospect of doing it.

“I’ll come here with you after school tomorrow, if you want,” I suggested.

“That’s good, so then we’ll… you know… finally do ‘it’. But just so we make this clear, we’re not… you know, the g word. We’re just experimenting,”

“Yeah, we’re just experimenting,” I repeated, although we both knew we were just lying to ourselves. We were both way past experimenting, we watched two guys have sex. And I’ve had a crush on him, another boy, for the longest time. “So I’ll just…”

“…See you tomorrow morning?”
(End Flashback)



Hachirou's POV
“Hachirou, wake up,”

My dreams were interrupted from my older brother shaking me and calling my name. Just for the record, Shichirou had long forgiven me about “stealing” Takeshi away from him, because my brother’s just all cool like that. Had it been me, I probably would’ve never forgave him for that.

“Hachirou, something bad happened,” he said as my eyes slowly opened to the older but identical person in front of me. “Dad’s-”

“Hold that thought,” I interrupted, making my way to the bathroom.

Shichirou sighed heavily as he sat on the bed, waiting for me to get out. But honestly, I’d rather hear the bad news after I use the bathroom so I can’t piss myself from shock, if it’s that bad.

I finally came back and announced, “Okay, lay it on me.”

“Well, dad died,” he said.

I wasn’t quite sure what to feel, happiness wasn’t very appropriate for when your dad dies. But, I wasn’t sad. “How?”

“He got shot,” Shichirou said.

Well I was pretty much done with my questioning after that, I genuinely didn’t care. And why should I care about someone who never cared about any of these ten goddamned children he had.

“His funeral’s in his home town, so we’re going to fly there. Tomorrow,” Shichirou explained. “And I’m guessing we’re going to finally get the ol’ family back together again.”

“The mom’s are going to be fighting, you know that. And so are the siblings for that matter,”

“Lively funeral,”

“You betcha,”



Shouta's POV
t was late in the afternoon when Hachirou showed up at my doorstep. Thankfully my brother and his new boyfriend wasn’t here right now.

“Hey Hachirou,” I greeted him. “You want to come in and make yourself comfortable?”

“Thank you Shouta, I will,” he replied, hugging me before he walked inside the house.

The two of us went upstairs to my room where I had the radio playing. We both sat on the edge of the bed, before I spoke, “Oh, did you want anything to drink?”

“No I’m alright. I really came over here for a specific reason and I’d really like to get to it,” he announced, pulling a small box out. “See, I’m going to be gone for awhile because I have to fly to my dad’s funeral tomorrow and the trip’s going to be long. And I love you a lot and I’m going to miss you, so that’s why I got you this- so I can keep in touch with you.”

Hachirou handed me the wrapped box and I immediately opened it, excited to see what he was going to give me. “A cell phone?”

“Yeah, that way I’ll be able to call you, or text you, and we’ll keep in touch,” he explained.

“But I can’t believe you actually bought me a cell phone!” I exclaimed. Then I pushed the device back to him. “I can’t take this from you, it’s too generous of a gift. Not to mention the bill every month…”

“Don’t worry about the phone or the bill, I can handle it. Besides, you need a phone and I know since you lost your parents your brother doesn’t have the means to give you extra stuff like that. Am I right?”

“You’re right…”

“So, just keep it,” he spoke, smiling genuinely. “At least until I get back home, so I can talk to you.”

We kissed for a long moment, before he finally parted from me and headed back downstairs, and I followed to see him to the door. It was weird, it felt like we were parting for a long time, even though it would only be about three or four days, since the flight is nearly a day long there and back, taking up two days already. I was going to miss Hachirou, but the idea of him getting me a cell phone I so didn’t deserve, it was very cute and thoughtful of him. I looked at the phone and on the background was a picture of him, smiling while holding a peace sign. I sighed and let out a small laugh, yes he was very cute and thoughtful.

And he took good pictures.



Hachirou's POV
I was not in the best of moods, it was five in the morning and we were already down at the airport. It takes hours for you just to get your bags checked and to get your ass on the plane, that’s why I hate planes. Especially for our family, because apparently since we did all live in the same town, everyone showed up in the lobby at around the same time. I realized that when Gorou came up and wrapped his arm around me, greeting me with a “good morning,” but not daring to kiss me while my mother and my brothers were around.

“I know this really isn’t on the nicest terms to meet up, going to our father’s funeral, but I’m glad the family is finally getting together again,” he spoke casually.

“I think this is going to turn out awful,” I confessed, yawning.

“Aww, is my baby brother sleepy?” Gorou cooed. A nearby Rokurou looked slightly jealous at the attention I was receiving from his brother- whole brother, that is. But I doubt Rokurou wants the kind of attention I receive from Gorou.

“Yeah,” I replied sleepily.

“Are you going to sit with me on the plane?” he asked.

“Won’t your mom be mad?” I questioned in response.

“I’m a grown man, out of the house and in college, Hachirou. I’ll sit with you if I want to,” Gorou explained. “And maybe you could share my hotel room with me too.”

“Excuse me but you and I are supposed to be sharing the room, there’s only two beds in there,” Rokurou argued, butting into the conversation.

“Well, the way I see it is that me and Hachirou are going to share a bed anyways, so you can either stay in the room and put up with us, or you can take Hachirou’s bed in the room with his brothers. What will it be?”

“Ugh, fine. I’ll share the room with his brothers,”

“Hachirou!” my mother called, motioning me to join her and my brothers. “Hachirou, why are you talking to them?”

“Because they’re my brothers…” I explained, obviously speaking.

“Well…” she began, pulling Kurou closer to her side. I could tell she was about to say I can’t sit with them, but she must’ve decided against it. “Just come with us so we can go get checked in.”

The checking in process took hours, the whole family wasn’t even on the plane until eight. Since I was supposed to sit with Shichirou, and Rokurou was supposed to sit next to Gorou, we just switched places. So I was in the window seat, then Gorou, then Shichirou, and last Rokurou was looking all pissy at the end of our four-man row. But I don’t care about his attitude over me monopolizing his brother, me and Gorou are just having a little fun, nothing more. I’ve learned my lesson and know not to take anything me and him do too seriously, beside we both have significant others waiting for us to come home.

“Too bad I can’t kiss you out here,” Gorou whispered hotly into my ear, sending chills down my spine. “Your lips just look so juicy and kissable,” The older teen then made an action of running his finger slowly along pink lips that belonged to me.

“You know we can’t do anything in here, we’re on a plane!” I reminded the green-haired boy, looking out the plane window, trying to see if we had moved yet.

I was starting to become impatient as to if the plane would ever move, but shortly after thinking that there was an announcement to buckle your seats since the plane would be taxiing or something like that.

Rokurou began reading a magazine, clearly trying to ignore Shichirou whom he was stuck next to. Shichirou in turn pulled out his laptop, further prolonging any speech between the two.

Not that it mattered if they got along or not, but since they would be staying in the same room it would be wise to try and be friendly. But obviously, that was their own problem as far as Gorou went, harassing my lips as he kissed me roughly and passionately, sure no one could see. Except possibly Shichirou but he wasn’t paying attention.

“Down boy, we have a long flight ahead of us you know. There’d be no point in getting yourself worked up,” I told Gorou.

“I can’t help it but to touch you though,” he replied, smiling as he ran a wary hand up my inner thigh, sending tingles to the sensitive area.

“Have you had any sex lately?” I questioned, wondering if that was the source of the problem.

“No,” he chuckled. “My boyfriend got mad at me or something. I swear I love him to death but he just can’t keep up with me sometimes. I doubt the lack of sex has even gotten to him.”

That makes me think of something Shouta might do if he ever got mad enough at me. “Have you ever thought that maybe you shouldn’t have done what you did that made him so upset in the first place?”

“If I knew it would lead to this, yeah,” Gorou laughed.

There was another announcement about how people could get up now if they needed to, since we were up in the air. It was a weird feeling, looking out the window and seeing only sky and clouds.

“I’d imagine the king-sized beds at the hotel could fit three or four people, why don’t you two join us?” Gorou directed the suggestion towards the other two brothers beside us.

“I’d rather not,” Rokurou replied coldly.

Shichirou just looked over at the green haired boy and spoke, “Gorou, no one does that.”

“Correction: no one you know does that. You are only a senior after all, which means you haven’t been able to experience all the different types of things people do in the real world,” Gorou replied, looking pretty self-righteous. Shichirou just shook his head and focused back to his computer.

“I don’t think I want to know what goes on in the real world, if that involves having foursomes,” he replied, not bothering to look at the older boy.

Seeing as they were a lost cause, he turned his focus back to me, “What do you think about foursomes?”

“Well… I don’t have a problem with the idea of one, but I would certainly not be the person initiating one, or a threesome for that matter,” I said, rather shyly I guess. I hope he wasn’t thinking of trying to find two other people we could do it with.

“How about you and I just spend some alone time together later?” he replied.

I just have to keep reminding myself mentally, Don’t get feelings involved, don’t get feelings involved, don’t get feelings involved… I’m only going to agree to do this because I really need some bad, and so does Gorou for that matter. I know that I got a little too emotional and possessive when it came to me and him screwing around before, but I’m not going to screw up an okay thing. “Yeah, tonight,” I promised.

“Good, now I’ll be right back okay?” he said before getting up and making his way through the aisle, to the rest room.

I sat angled away from my brothers, facing out the window watching the clouds go by… or us go by the clouds, which ever way it went. I finally had a moment of peace, to catch up on that sleep I missed by waking up so early.



(Flashback)

“Hachirou, do we have to do this? It’s embarrassing,” Kaito pouted as he stood beside me.

Me and him were standing in front of the drug store that we passed by everyday when we walked to my house. Never has it been so intimidating, since we usually only stopped in to get some snacks or something. But now, we were two seventh graders, going into a drug store to by condoms. I know, I’m a pretty bad lame for actually insisting we use the damned things even though we’re both virgins, and both boys. But I’ve heard that guys can still catch things through other guys, so better safe than sorry I suppose.

By now, as me and him walked inside, the sliding glass doors greeting us, I was feeling pretty embarrassed. It was like only when you came into the store to buy something embarrassing that it seems all eyes are on you.

We made our way to the back of the store where the medicines and things were, and found them on the wall. I picked up the box, looking at it briefly before handing it to Kaito.

“Hey, I don’t want to hold them!” he complained.

“They say the more responsible person in the relationship should always keep them,” I explained, laughing slightly. “Hey look, lube. My brother said we might need this,” I said before picking up a bottle off a shelf.

“Your brother? You told your brother?” Kaito exclaimed.

“Well kind of, it was one of those indirect ‘a friend of mine…’ questions, but he figured out it was about me because he remembered I only have one friend. But he was really cool about telling me stuff, and Shichirou is not the kind to tattle,”

Kaito just sighed and looked at the bottle in my hands, “So what is that for, anyways?”

“It’s, um… it’s so I can-”

“Kaito!” a familiar voice interrupted. We both turned around and there was Masaru, the boy catching us red handed as the apparentness of the objects in our hands sunk in. Kaito put the box behind his back but the boy would not give up. He made his way over quickly to the red head trying to wrestle the box from him. “What is so bad that you won’t let me see?” he questioned, the usually silly boy’s expression turning serious.

“Look, it’s private okay?” Kaito fussed, trying to keep the box away from the brunette, but at last he snatched the condoms out of Kai’s hand and looked at the box.

“I… I didn’t know you two were a couple,” Masaru spoke, rather slowly.

“It’s complicated,” Kaito replied, snatching the box of condoms back.

“Well, have fun,” he said with a hint of sarcasm before walking out the store.

This whole situation was going from bad to worse and I was almost ready just to forget the whole thing and go home.

“C’mon Hachirou,” Kaito said, pushing me along. “Let’s just hurry up and get out of here.”

Me and him made our way to the counter where there was a young woman of about nineteen or so working there. Luckily there was no one else around, so the embarrassment of buying this stuff wouldn’t be doubled.

“Big night planned?” she commented, giggling slightly. “Going to be home alone with your girls?”

When me and Kaito didn’t answer, I think she caught on. “Oh! So the two of you… I see. You guys are so cute!”

Once the total came up, I paid for everything and then she handed me the bag. “Have a nice evening! I’m sure you will!”

After leaving out the store, I immediately put the bag in my book bag. “Well this was more trouble than it was worth,” I sighed, Kaito nodding in agreement.

The walk home was eerily quiet between the two of us, neither of us had anything to say. I could assume that Kaito was probably freaking out over the fact that we were actually going to do this, just like I was.

“So, um… about that Masaru kid,” I began.

“I’ve known him since the sixth grade, when he moved here. He was pretty much the only friend I had in my class,” Kaito explained.

“I think he likes you,” I commented.

“…Do you really think so?”

“Well he’s really touchy feely, only towards you, and plus he looked really hurt when he figured out what we were doing. He acts like he likes you,”

“Oh,” was all that the red head replied.

We finally arrived at my house, so I took out my house key and opened the door to the apparently empty house. “Hello? Anyone home?” I called, just in case. In the back of my mind, I secretly had been wishing someone would be home so we could call the whole thing off but, everyone was in their proper locations.

Which, I suppose, means I should be in mine too…

Shouta's POV
“Shouta-kun?”

My mood lifted, and my mouth formed into a gentle smile as I heard the voice of the one person I had been aching to hear from all day. It’s now noon, and I was starting to get a little worried, although I was probably just over reacting.

“Hachirou-kun?” I replied. “Did you make it okay?”

“Of course I did silly! Or else, I wouldn’t be talking to you would I?” he spoke, sounding happy while I could hear the sounds of people in the background, signaling that he was probably at the airport. “I’m sorry I don’t have much time to talk, we’ve got to get our bags, go to the hotel, then go to my grandmother’s house for some dinner, and by then it’ll probably be late so I’ll have to talk to you tomorrow after the funeral.”

“Okay, just glad to hear your voice,” I told him, which was partially true, but I missed him already even though he wasn’t going to be gone very long.

“Yours too, it still sounds just as cute from miles away,” he laughed, teasing me. I heard someone in the background, yelling before he said hurriedly, “Okay I’ve got to go now.”

“Bye Hachirou,”

There was a click, before he was gone. I wonder why that felt so bittersweet? I got to talk to him but… I wanted to talk more. I’m just so silly, missing Hachirou like this…
