Neither of them were really public with their emotions. But there was one thing he did know, Ogata Yamato loved Kazama Ren. He just wasn't quiet sure how to show it properly. The main thing was that Ren was always so hyper, he couldn't really keep up with the other, let alone date him. Or, well, he could, but just barely on somedays. Which is why he cringed when, on the day he realized he loved Kazama Ren. when the guys stopped at a convience store, Ren bought an energy drink as Honjo bought, of all things booze. Yamato sighed when he saw this. This was their first gathering together in awhile since graduation, and yes they all were the legal age, but he didn't need any of them spazzing, but more importantly he didn't need himself getting under the influence of it. So he was the responsible one for the day.

It was quiet funny to him though, seeing Ren so drunk by the time they had gotten to Honjo's place. It was annoyingly cute (this to also proved Yamato's thought, since he doubted few straight guys consider their best male friend cute, annoying yes, cute no). He was greatful though that he wasn't drunk. There was no telling what would happen.

It wasn't for awhile, after watching Kura catch his hair on fire for the fifth time, when Yamato realized that Ren was watching him, his eyes shining like a little kid's eyes when they're watching something so amazingly cool (at least to them). He felt himself blush and thanked God for his dark complexion.

"Has your hair always been that shiny?" Ren asked Yamato, walking over and examining the other's hair closer.

"What are you talking about? It's just normal hair." Yamato replied. Ren ignored him, and started to smell Yamato's hair, which in turn, made Yamato actually get rather giddy.

"Your hair smells nice." Ren informed Yamato. This got Yamato to blush even harder, though Ren didn't notice. "You know, your really cute." Ren added. Now here was the reason why Yamato hadn't wanted to get drunk. He didn't want his real feelings known. But from the sound of it, Ren felt the same way. He took some of said alcohol...

Before he knew it, it was the next day. Yamato didn't remember as much as he would have liked between the time the day before after he took that first sip, and then up to now. He was in Ren's bed that Saturday morning, naked.

That was when panic struck. He looked over at his side where Ren was sleeping off a hangover. What was he going to do when the other woke up? What if yesterday was just some sort of drunken encounter and just that? What if...? Oh forget this! Yamato didn't want to deal with all the what ifs. He was just going to leave before Ren woke up, and possibly decked him for the incident.

Wordlessly he put on his clothes and then kissed Ren softly on the forehead. He froze however when the other's eyes opened sleepily, and then widened in shock when he saw Yamato. Yamato blushed bright red and then fled from the apartment, his pants on, but his shirt still unbuttoned.
