The school bell rang and Natsuno lowered his head, closing eyes.
He waited all the known noises cease. Teacher's last instructions, papers being crumpled, books and notes closing, zippers and bag's metal clasps, students loud buzz. He waited until things turn quiet, and his eyes finally opened.
Tohru was at the door, staring him with a calm face.
He was such a gorgeous boy, Natsuno thought. More beautiful than average boys that he knew at their age. He wondered why he never saw him with anyone before.
Obviously, that wasn't like Natsuno wanted to see Tohru with someone else.
"Hey!"the blonded smiled. "You don't go home? Or wanna sleep right there?"
"It wouldn't be a bad idea", he answered tired. "I can't sleep in my home."
"Really?" the honey-colored eyes stared at him, worried. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, don't worry", Natsuno got up and grabbed the bag. "It's just some nightmares in middle of night."
"When this begun?"
"A while ago."
He went around the chair to get out classroom, but Tohru stood watching him.
What a weird feeling, Natsuno thought.
That was what he thought, whenever Tohru stand that way, looking at him so close. He could smell him, hear the low sound of his breath, that seemed speeds up a bit that moment. His mind yearned for each detail that he could record from the person in front of him, and that's kinda messed him.
"You should tell me that before" Tohru said concerned.
"For you to make this face? Nah, I told you, no need to worry."
He freed the way to let Natsuno pass. When dark-haired moved away, Tohru grabbed his hand quietly.
"So come to sleep in my house", he suggested in a low voice.
Natsuno turned back, staring him with a different interest.
"My parents will be out to dinner tonight, with Aoi and Tamotsu", he explained.
"And you won't go?"
"No... since you'll be there tonight."
The dark-haired frowned.
"I don't remember to had tell you that I would be there", he grumbles leaving.
Tohru didn't drop his hand.
"Come on, you almost never go there!" He insisted. "My parents noticed too. If you're trying not to be obvious, you're doing it wrong."
"Stop this shit" Natsuno was feeling a bit annoyed. "I have too much homework, that's why I'm not going there."
"Yeah, that's what I told at home."
His smile was warm. Natsuno felt something surrender inside him when saw that smile. He stared the boy, without knowing what to say, while other's hand lifted up and caressed his face.
"Tohru" he murmured, moving away the hand without rough. "We're at school."
"The others already gone."
"Yeah, and so we must too."
"Dude, you should relax sometimes."
He kept watching him, a funny smile on his lips. Natsuno took a slow breath, beaten.
"I'll be there at 8", he finally said.
