Alright, so I have decided to just dumb all of my Clannad fanfiction onto the site. I'm usually pretty self-conscious about things (especially my writing), but I figure I might as well post things. I am not going to allow my feelings to be hurt by anything that anyone might say; I enjoy these stories and that's all that really matters to me. The only reason I'm posting things is on the off chance that other people enjoy them too. If you would like to review please feel free.

Pairing: One-sided Akio/Okazaki
Rating: T
Warnings: None
Notes: Don't ask me why I like this pairings so much... I don't quite understand it myself...
Disclaimer: I don't own "Clannad"

Confusion

"So Okazaki, why are you always going over to the Furakawa's?" Sonahara suddenly asked.

Okazaki blinked as he looked back at the other, "I don't know; why are you asking?"

Sonahara let out a frustrated noise as he leaned over the table so that his face was only inches away from Okazaki's. Okazaki, used to the other's behavior, did not flinch.

"Don't tell me that you and Nagisa are going out!" Sonahara almost yelled.

"What? N-" Okasaki started, about to deny the other's acquisition, but he stopped himself. If he denied it the other would question him further and he wasn't even ready to tell himself the answer to that question.

"Yeah…" He started lamely, "We're going out…"

"What?! No!" The overly dramatic boy replied as he pulled away from the other and slumped onto the floor, "And I was sure that I had a chance with her."

Okazaki shrugged, despite knowing that the other could not see the movement, "Sorry, but you might find someone."

Sonahara was up like a shot, "What do you mean, might?" He asked angrily.

Okazaki laughed and put his hands up in a defensive matter, "Just kidding."

"Yeah, you better be…" Sonahara trialed of as he grumbled to himself, giving Okazaki some time to think.

The truth was that Okazaki was not going out with Nagisa, nor did he have any romantic feelings for her. He hadn't really thought about why it was that he found himself going over to the Furakawa's almost everyday after school until recently, and the realization frightened him.

There was one Furakawa that Okazaki had become quite found of – despite the way he acted toward the other on the outside – and it wasn't Nagisa. It wasn't Senae either who Okazaki was sure would have been most people's next guess. No, it was Akio, Nagisa's father.

At first Okazaki had thought that maybe the only reason was because Akio was so different from his own father and that he looked at the older male as the stable father figure that he had never had.

But after a little time Okazaki found himself thinking of the other as attractive.

"Hey Okazaki!" Sonahara suddenly yelled.

Okazaki jumped slightly as he looked up at the fake-blond.

"Hey, I was talking to you!" Sonahara started, "Were you even listening to me?" He asked, but didn't wait for a response as he went on, "Stop daydreaming about Nagisa and pay attention."

"Yeah." Okazaki muttered, not really caring what the blond had to say, but forcing himself to at least half listen to keep himself from dwelling on things that he wasn't quite ready to face.

THE END
