1. Introduction

A/N: Hey random readers! This can be considered as a side-story to my other two stories I was working on (with the pairings PruCan and FrUk), but you don't have to read those along with this! I'm just saying that for those who may be interested in knowing, that's all. So, uh...yeah, I don't know what to say, other than here's a better summary of the story, since the one in the box was terrible XD :

Introduction

Alfred F. Jones had decided to take the exam to enter to the prestigious international high school, Roma's International Academy, that is located in a town where he lived in here in his home in Canada. Along with his brother Matthew, he had high hopes that he'll get accepted and he can finally get to go with his brother to the same school. After their parent's separation four years ago, he hoped that at least one thing could change for the better. Even though he all jolly and happy, truly he's hurting terribly inside. His father, Francis, is a workaholic, who drowns his sorrows with alcohol, making him more distant from him. Whereas, his other father, Arthur, seems to have been leading a normal life, with him teaching English at the Academy, and has moved on. However, this too had made Arthur more distant from Alfred, and the only one he could really be happy with was with Matthew.

Enter Kiku Honda- the only son of one of a very successful business-man in Japan, Suisen Honda. Suisen's wife and Kiku's mother, Hanako Honda, died when Kiku was at the tender age of 9. Because of her death, Kiku slowly crawling back into his shell, and soon permanently staying there, never opening up to anyone ever again, managing to remain that way for the years to come. He found refuge whenever he drew and read manga, however, to his father's displeasure, all this had to be hidden. He could never be truly himself and be open about how he truly felt. And every passing day, Kiku felt lonelier…and lonelier.

But, after meeting each other for the first time, and they are attracted to each others differences, becoming friends. And soon, the unexpected happens...and more unexpected events starts to roll into their lives.
