Soubi gave Ritsuka a peck on his cheeks. "I love you, Ritsuka."

Upon hearing this, Ritsuka flushed. Was this even right? "S-soubi…"

"Yes?"

"Why are you doing this?"

"I do it because I love you."

"Doesn't that make me…us gay..?"

Soubi smirked.,"Whatever you say, master.". With that, he stood up and bid goodbye as he vanished through Ritsuka's balcony.

Ritsuka stared at his hands. The hands that had embrace that man, not once, not twice but many times. Why was he thinking about this issue only now? His mouth quivered, the mouth that had been caressed so gently by that man. He didn't know why he had always return Soubi's kisses.

School ended, which was such a bore for Ritsuka. Ritsuka truly was pissed that Yuiko and Yayoi were trying to follow him around everywhere. Not that he hated them of course. He hated the word "hate". He doesn't like to hate. He's just irritated. There was once when Ritsuka wanted to go to the restroom and Yuiko almost went in with him if Yayoi had not stopped her.

As soon as the school bell rung, Ritsuka headed out of the classroom door. "Wait, Ritsuka-kun! Yuiko wants to walk home with you!" screamed Yuiko, clutching her books as she ran out after him. Yayoi soon followed her, not wanting to lose Yuiko to Ritsuka.

Ritsuka's cat ears twitched. He didn't say a word.

As usual, Soubi waited for Ritsuka at the school gates, smoking. "For god sake, stop smoking," Ritsuka said. For some reason, he was really pissed. He felt like shouting at everyone. Soubi immediately took the cigarette out and threw it to the ground where Ritsuka took over and stomped his feet over it.

"Ritsuka, you seem… angered?" said Soubi as looked at Ritsuka. Ritsuka's furrowed his eyebrows, "No, I'm not, I'm tired. I want to go home."

Yuiko and Yayoi stared at Ritsuka, not knowing what had become of their friend. "W-well, then, me and Yuiko will go home on our own today. G-goodbye, Ritsuka-kun," stammered Yayoi as he pulled Yuiko away. "B-but, b-but Ritsuka-kun??" Yuiko's voice trailed off.

Ritsuka took this chance and walked off on his own. Soubi, being a loyal sevant he is, followed Ritsuka. "Ritsuka… don't you want to go somewhere?" Soubi asked, breaking the silence.

"I don't know,"

"You seem frustrated, why not go to the park and let it out?"
"…okay,"

Soubi tooked Ritsuka's hand and they walked to the park together. Ritsuka hesitated slightly, but allowed Soubi to take his hand. It felt cold, Ritsuka clutched it tighter, and he wanted to give some of his warmthness to Soubi.
