It's been about a day since Shidouhani kissed me. I find myself relating his kiss with everything I do. It's been haunting me, plaguing me, and I don't know why. We haven't spoken since then and the only eye contact we've had is ruined by pure embarrassment. I have to find out why he did it. Or we will never have the same relationship we had before.

Let me explain. My crazy cousin, who is a girl likes me. Said cousin comes to my school unannounced and catches me dressed up like a princess. She yells at me and confesses her love to me. Then Shidouhani buts in and says that were together and I'm actually gay. Somewhere in the confusion Shidouhani kissed me and she ran away. I don't know why, but I know I have to find out.

We are both sitting in the room completely silent. Shidouhani is sitting and the desk and me on the bottom bunk. The silence could never be so loud. I have to say something….

"Shidouhani"?

I could tell he was surprised to here my voice. He practically jumped out of his skin. And now I know the reason why I need to ask Shidouhani what that kiss meant. I enjoyed that kiss. I was surprised but it wasn't nasty shock. It was more of a pleasant surprise. This could get messy….

" Yeah Tooru?

"Ummm.. Why did you kiss me yesterday?"

He was silent. His back and posture was screaming for a reason to run out of the room. I felt just as uncomfortable, but I had to know.

Shidouhani turned around with a forced smile. " I was just trying to find a way to get us out of that situation that's all."

" Ok…now tell me the real reason. I know your lying so let's try this again. Why did you kiss me yesterday?"

" Tooru I just told you I was just-

Tooru walked up to Shidouhani and suddenly grabbed his face. Shidouhani looked shocked and tried to look away but Tooru was persistent and jerked his face to look a his.

" Tell me the real reason why. Not the cover up story, not what you want other people to think, your true reason why you kissed me."

Shidouhani POV

Tooru was starring deep into my eyes, and I could not look away and I could not lie to him anymore. I started to cry and he kept the same serious look on his face. My shell was breaking. The rough exterior of Shidouhani had been cracked. My only weaknesses in this world are my family and Tooru. I have always loved Tooru. Suddenly I lifted my face up and kissed Tooru again and I could feel the shock he felt.

I looked at him seriously and told him what had needed to be told. " Because I love you Tooru."
