I hesitated...

But before I could thing my mouth blurted, "yes!" And immediately I wanted to object, but the look on Satoshi's face was priceless. The look of utter amazement and happiness... It was enough to drive me into silence.

"Daisuke you have no idea..." Satoshi drifted off as he hugged me. I had never felt so... i guess the word for the feeling would be warm. Maybe it was also loved. This simple hug was all it took to give me this sensation? I wanted more, but I fought the feeling and pulled away from my new 'boyfriend'.

"Satoshi... I..." I didn't know how to tell the happy boy that I just couldn't date him.

"Daisuke, it's okay. This is okay. This is normal. Don't you see? It's okay to feel this way. Please, try and see that." Satoshi seemed to read my thoughts and comfortingly put his hand on my shoulder.

I couldn't help but nod. He seemed so confident, maybe this could work out.

:-P

The next day, we walked into school together, Satoshi's arm draped around my shoulders. All the girls giggled as we passes, and Risa Harada even pointed. I shrugged him off. Though I felt bad and missed the warmth of his arm, I couldn't take all of those people staring and... (duh duh duh) pointing.

While we were at our lockers, I knew we were going to go our separate ways, and was almost sad, but mostly relieved. Now people wont stare and giggle as we pass. But I didn't anticipate Satoshi. He leaned close and I thought he was going to say something to me, but instead I felt warm lips against mine. For a minute, I melted into the kiss, but when Satoshi's hands appeared at my waist, I was brought back to my senses. What was I doing?? In the middle of the public school area, we were kissing like... like I don't know what! I pulled away.

Satoshi looked confused. I could feel all the eyes in the hall looking at me. I felt humiliated. "How could you do that?" I whispered so only he could hear. He looked surprised.

"Do what?" He asked.

"That!" I hissed. "in front of all these people! What will they think?" Satoshi got cold at that last statement.

"What must they think? They must think that we're a couple. Like we are. Or are we?" His voice was pure ice but low enough that no one else could hear.

"No! No... I was just being dumb, Hiwatari-kun... Please... I didn't mean it. Of course we're a... couple." My voice almost failed me on the word couple. I wanted to reassure Satoshi, but he seemed to have caught my little falter, so he glared harder.

"Oh really? I'll talk to you during lunch." Satoshi seemed to hesitate for a moment, before leaning in and giving me a quick peck on the cheek before marching off to his class. After a moment I followed him and sat down in my seat, all the way cross the class room from Satoshi. What was he going to say to me at lunch? I was actually scared. I needed to make up for this. My mind screamed, let it happen! But I knew it had to shove that under a big rock or something. Class began.
