Hello! Welcome to my first ever Nobuta wo Produce fic! Yay!

I've tried to make Shuji and Akira be as in character as possible, but it was much harder than I thought it would be... Anyway...

This story does contain spoilers for the series, so if you don't want to be spoiled, then read it after you watch the series... Not that that really helped me because I started reading Nobuta stories while I was half way through watching the series. Oh well...

Disclaimer: I don't own Nobuta wo Produce. I would, however, love to be able to meet the actors... Kame and YamaPi are awesome!!!

Well, enjoy the story!

"Shu-u-ji-kun! You must take this!" Akira was in Shuji's room, holding up a pink fluffy pig while Shuji was on the other side of the room, getting together the last little things he needed to take on the trip. Shuji and Akira were going on a school camping trip today. Akira had already packed and had met Shuji at his house and they were to go to school together.

"I can't take that, Akira."

"Buuuuttt!!"

"No." Akira pouted, then, when Shuji wasn't looking, he snuck it into the suitcase. Shuji didn't notice and zipped up the suitcase. He looked around his room to see if there was anything else he had forgotten. He decided there wasn't and he looked at the clock. Quarter to nine. Oh no! They were going to be late!!

Shuji grabbed Akira's hand and his suitcase, running into the lounge room where his father and brother waited for him.

"Bye, have a good trip!" Shuji's father said to him and Akira. "I will miss you lots!" he began to cry. Shuji's brother put an arm around his father and smiled at the two.

"Have fun!"

"Bye!" Shuji shouted as he and Akira grabbed their bags and left the apartment.

"Chao!" Akira called out to them.

As they were walking towards the school, Shuji began talking.

"Ok, so, we are sharing a tent with Dai and Hajime." Shuji started.

"Hai!"

"That means that we can't show our relationship at all."

"But Shu-u-ji-kun!"

"Akira, that means no kissing, no sleeping in my bed, no getting into the shower with me, no yelling out that you love me." Akira pouted. They were all things he did on a regular basis, even if Shuji protested to them most of the time. Akira was about to answer when they arrived at the school and they were being called over to get their names ticked off the attendance roll.

"Shuji, Akira! Over here!" Dai and a few of their other friends were standing at the door to the buss. Shuji waved to him and headed over there, Akira following closely behind.

The group got on the bus and sat at the back. Shuji and Akira sat next to each other. It was a long ride and Shuji spent most of his time talking to their friends and listening to his iPod. Akira spent a lot of his time annoying Shuji and listening to his iPod. The girl behind him kept trying to get his attention, but he wasn't interested. After the first couple of hours on the bus, he decided to pull out his phone and text Nobuta; at least she would answer him, unlike Shuji who had ignored him since their conversation on the way to school.

Nobutaaa!!!
Akira bored! Shuji is ignoring me!
On bus going camping now.
hehe. I put Shuji's pig in his suitcase... he doesn't know!
Bye Nobuta! Kon kon!

Akira sent his weird message and waited for a reply. It came fast.

Hello AKIRA!
Today I am sharing my lunch with Mariko.
I'm sure that Shuji doesn't mean to ignore you. Are you sure you didn't do something to upset him? Maybe he noticed the pig?
Enjoy your camping trip, and say hi to Shuji for me.
Nobuta.

Akira sighed and pouted again. He looked out the window. Next to him Shuji had received a text.

"Who's it from?" Hajime asked as he noticed Shuji pause in their conversation and pull out his phone.

"A friend." It was from Nobuta.

Hello Shuji.
Are you enjoying your bus ride?
Akira would like you to stop ignoring him. Don't forget that he is your best friend. I am sure the other people in your class respect your friendship with him.
Oh, and he left you a gift in your suitcase.
Don't forget to always be yourself.
Nobuta.

Shuji sighed and looked behind him at Akira who was concentrating on a bug on the window. He opened a new message and began to write.

I'm sorry for ignoring you, Akira. I love you.

He sent the message and went back to talking with Hajime. He knew when Akira had received the message because he had been hugged from behind. He turned around to face Akira who had a smile on his face and made kissing lips at him. Shuji just pushed him away gently and fiercely but didn't protest when Akira moved to sit closer to him.
