[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

“Let's go.”
 
“Hiroi? May I come stay with you?” Mizuki lifted his head, his hair covering his face as he looked up at his sensei. Hiroi stopped dead in his tracks.
 
“You want to come home with me?”
 
“Yes! Please! Let me come home with you!” Mizuki ran to Hiroi and embraced him with a tight hug. Noue's body shaking again, Hiroi looked around. The school was deserted, even the janitors had left the premises, but he still took a second to hug the boy back.
 
“I…Is that what you really want? Even after what happened?”
 
“Yes….I….I don't want to go back to that ridiculous house….I…I want to be with you….” Mizuki shook harder as Hiroi hugged him back.
 
“I can take you home with me tonight…But you're going to have to go home sometime, you know that.”
 
“I….I don't care….Just….Just as long as I stay with you.” Mizuki clenched tighter on to his sensei, not wanting to let him go in fear of losing him. Hiroi petted Noue's head.
 
“Come home with me tonight and we'll figure the rest out later.” Mizuki let go of his sensei and regretted he ever did. The warmth from his sensei was inviting and the cold air was taking that warmth away from him.
 
“Yes, Hiroi….” Hiroi smiled softly as he continued to the faculty parking lot.
His car was the only one there now, and he unlocked the doors to allow Noue to get in. Mizuki entered Hiroi's car sitting himself in the passenger's seat so as to be as close as possible with Hiroi.
 
“Thank you...”
 
“It's nothing. I said I wanted you to open to me, and, like you said, "Ate you to my hearts content". I can't break my words and not even attempt to take care of you.”
 
“Hiroi.....”Mizuki looked up at Hiroi and knew that he would be confronted with the regret he had for saying those cruel words to his sensei.
 
“I'm....I'm sorry...Hiroi....I never....”
 
“It's all right Noue. Like I said...That's a start.” He put his keys in the ignition and started the car.
 
“Hiroi....” Noue looked at his teacher and then turned his head to look outside. He was really going home with Hiroi. It wasn't a dream.
 
“It's not a dream.....” He whispered before leaning into the window. Hiroi looked over at him as he drove. He snuck quiet peaks at the boy who had the same far off stare he would have during homeroom, except this time, there was something else in his eyes. Hiroi stopped the car a couple of moments later.
 
“Here we are.” Mizuki nodded not feeling like it was his turn to talk. He got out of the car and looked up to find that his teacher wasn't there. Noue franticly looked around for Hiroi.
 
“Hiroi! Hiroi!!” Hiroi appeared suddenly next to him.
 
“It's all right. I just had to go around the car.” Mizuki was shaking from fear and folded his arms across his chest, looking down.
 
“Oh...then...can we go?...I....I don't like it...out here...” Hiroi nodded before taking Noue's hand.
 
“Right this way.” Mizuki clenched tight on to Hiroi's hand as they walked to his house. Like before, Noue didn't want to let go of Hiroi.
 
“Hiroi...Do...Do I mean.....Never mind...” Mizuki turned his head as Hiroi looked at him. Hiroi opened the door and let Noue in before closing it shut behind them. He took off his jacket before asking for Noue's and hanging them both up. He took off his shoes and didn't bother to change into slippers. Mizuki slipped off his chucks before being dragged into Hiroi's house. Mizuki gazed around the halls with his hair still covering his face.
 
“Hiroi...do you...really live here?” Hiroi nodded.
 
“I live here all by myself. Why?”
 
“It's just....It's so big....” Noue said looking up at the vast ceiling above; unable to comprehend how Hiroi could afford a house like this on his salary as a homeroom sensei.
 
“You think so? I always thought it was just right.”
 
“Oh....Well...If you like it then...I have no say in your taste.” Mizuki looked back down and turned away from his teacher, looking at the pictures they were passing. Of people he didn't know....probably family.
 
“You can give your opinion if you'd like. I'd just always liked a lot of room. As if you can get lost from bedroom to bedroom. It feels like a bit of a get away.”
 
“A getaway...from what?” Mizuki asked turning his gaze back on Hiroi.
 
“Life. And it's daily problems.”
 
“Am...Am I...a daily problem?”
 
“Of course not. I'm talking about everyone else. The boys that fight. The girls that have no self-control. You...You move away from those things and try to rise above it, but they look up to you.”
 
“Is that….a bad thing? That they look up to me?”
 
“No. It's always good to have a role model... but I feel they do a lot of things to impress you. Especially the girls.”
 
“Yeah well, I do try to ignore them so I guess I really don't notice half the things they try.”
 
Good. Some of the things are truly pathetic.
 
“Well at least they're not throwing themselves at me.....I don't think I could look at them the same way.....” Hiroi chuckled and patted Mizuki on the head.
 
“Good. Now let's get you to bed.”
 
“Can I sleep with you, Hiroi?” Mizuki tightened his grip on his sensei's hand and looked up at Hiroi through his sliver hair. Hiroi looked over at him.
 
“Do you really want to sleep with me? Aren't you scared that I might eat you again?” A sense of teasing in his words.
 
“Sen....Hiroi....I never meant for it to come out that way....Please...Hiroi....I....” Mizuki looked down away from his sensei unable to look him in the eye anymore. Hiroi squeezed his hand lightly before pulling him along with him up the stairs and down the hall into his room. Mizuki could feel Hiroi tighten his grip on his hand and Noue looked up at his teacher again before entering Hiroi's room. Hiroi closed the door behind them when they got inside the room.
 
“Go ahead and make your self comfortable.” Letting go of Hiroi's hand, Noue walks over to one side of the bed and sits on it. He bounces a little on the side but then fully gets on it. Noue lifts his gaze from the side of the bed to Hiroi. Hiroi started unbuttoning his shirt to get ready for bed. Once it was off he started with his pants. He folded them up and placed them in the laundry basket before heading to his cabinet.
 
“Do you want something to sleep in?”
 
“A....T-shirt...Please....” Noue started taking off his own school clothes, happy to get out of them. His skinny body started to shiver from the sudden cold. Hiroi pulled one of his big baggy shirts out of the drawer and handed it to Hiroi. Mizuki take it and drew it over his head and the shirt fit pretty big on him. It wasn't big enough to keep him warm though. Hiroi went to the opposite side of the bed. He pulled the covers back before slipping into the bed. Mizuki went under the covers as well, but only to find that they were no help for warmth either. Mizuki started to shiver and curled up to keep what warmth he had. Hiroi touched his forehead slightly.
 
“You can come next to me.”
 
“Really?” Mizuki looked at his sensei and hesitated to crawl closer to him. Noue, looking at his hands shiver, moved closer to Hiroi, so as to get some kind of warmth. Hiroi smiled lightly before putting his arms around the boy. Noue could fell himself being pulled in closer to Hiroi and the heat emanating from the half naked man was extremely high. As Noue put his cold hands against Hiroi's skin, Noue was truly finally able to embrace Hiroi without the illusion of clothing. Hiroi put his hands on the boys much colder ones.
 
“You're so cold….”
 
“Yes….I don't know why….But…It's always like this….When I sleep…I'm cold…”
 
“I'm always warm, so you can hang to me.” Mizuki held on to Hiroi's hands for just a little bit longer before relaxing his grip. His face was close to Hiroi's neck and Noue couldn't help but stare at it. The way Hiroi's collarbone was curved and stuck out, as it slyly melted back into his skin. Hiroi smiled as he put his head a bit closer to his students.
 
“Go to sleep. We have school in the morning.”
 
“Yes, Hiroi.....” Before falling asleep, Mizuki whispered. “Whatever you say, Hiroi......” Hiroi petted his face slightly. He studied his frame for a second before falling asleep as well.
