Class: Period 4 Japanese

Student: Motomiya Daisuke

Assignment: Write a poem wherein you disclose something personal.

Before my story starts I need to get this across:

My best friend and I have never entangled hearts

(Or any other body parts for that matter)

(Well, there was that one time but I'll save that for later)

We're close and that is to be expected

Yet somehow those rumors are always resurrected

Every few weeks or so to my dismay

It's getting harder and harder to make them go away.

(I'm pretty sure Miyako is the culprit who starts them

But fighting with her is something I swore to shrink from)

Our friends claim that there's this long list of infractions

I say they're just over analyzing our actions

So what if I sleep in my boxers when we share a bed?

Or if in the mornings we disentangle our legs.

I haven't slept in real clothes since I was six

And TK isn't bothered by my sleeping habits

Then there's him who is anemic and tends to cuddle.

Miyako knows this so she shouldn't act befuddled.

Neither should Yamato, TK is his little brother

But at this point I've realized that I shouldn't even bother

To clear up these messes and misunderstandings

Even Koushirou has declared we deserve a happy ending

You know I can't even pack his lunch with mine?

Or casually go out to a restuarant to dine

Without some girl squealing what a cute couple we make?

It's incredible TK's patience and how well he can take

Everything in stride like it doesn't bother him at all

On the other hand if I am accosted in the hall

One more time something will stop breathing

Or not. I don't need to endure TK's verbal beating

Even Hikari snaps pictures of us together

And casts us sly looks when I'm wearing his sweater

("He leant it to you off of his back months ago!")

I know hot it looks, but I'm not letting it go

Not that TK's bothered, he hasn't asked for it back

Mimi swears he smirks at his initials on the tag

I've tried to tell her I don't care what he's thinking

But she only answers me with more winking

I think she knows I don't really find it appalling

That if I am completely honest, I wouldn't mind calling

TK my boyfriend, my sweetheart or just plain mine
