Am I only your friend?

Author's Note: OMG! I love you all! You are so nice! I was never complemented about my stories! Thank you! It means so much! I'm very happy! And thank you for suggesting a Syo P.O.V. It's a great idea. Well, here's the second chapter! I really hope you like it!

Syo woke up at the sound of his annoying roommate screaming "WHERE'S THE FLOUR?!"

The day seemed to pass pretty normally…but still…the redhead looked highly paler than usual. His usual cheerful and innocent attitude was replaced with a disapproving expression. Syo began to feel uncomfortable because of Otoya's attitude. He was very, very worried.

Ren stared at Otoya. "Is there something wrong, Otoya? Are you okay?" he asked.

Otoya slowly gave Ren his unusual stare. Tokiya turned his head away guiltily.

"It doesn't suit you, Otoya. Be cheerful." Masato said flatly.

Otoya looked slightly hurt. It was awkward. Very awkward indeed.

"Sorry…to bother you…" he said slowly, blushing madly.

Natsuki smiled. "Maybe Otoya's having a bad day. Just let him be! He'll feel waaay better tomorrow! I'm sure!"

"Are you sure?" Syo asked, glancing at Otoya. It looked like his depression would last forever.

"I'm…I'm fine. Really. I swear," Otoya lied. "Excuse me…bathroom."

He dashed out of sight. Everyone was puzzled.

"I'm telling you…" Natsuki started.

"Oh, shut up." Syo said bossily.

Ren sighed. "Tokiya…do you know?"

Tokiya looked at Ren coldly. "You are so nosy, you know."

Ren raised his eyebrows. "Your attitude is even worse than Otoya."

Tokiya simply ignored him. He was not a man to be meddled with.

Everyone forgot about it later in the afternoon. Everyone that is…except Syo.

'Otoya never acted like this' he thought throughout the day. 'Never'

That night, Syo faked sleeping in front of Natsuki. When he heard Natsuki snore like a loud idiot, he slipped silently outside. He wanted to find out what was wrong with that Otoya. And he was going to do it.

There was no clue of Otoya anywhere. Syo was very pissed off. Then, just for the heck of it, he went to the sea. Otoya liked to swim, so maybe he was here.

And he was right.

Otoya's soft red hair was just visible above the sea. Syo watched him for a moment, dazzled by his muscles.

After a few minutes, Syo was sure Otoya noticed him. He decided to play it cool. "Otoya! Nice swimming! Mind coming here a sec?"

He watched as Otoya hastily dried himself, shivering.

Syo looked at Otoya's body and blushed. Oh, it was perfectly outlined. Sexy…

He snapped out of it. "Er-Otoya-you seem, well, bothered. Mind sharing it with me?"

He noticed that Otoya was blushing.

"Um…I-just-like someone…um…they don't like me…"

Syo's eyes widened. Nooooooooooooooooooo. Otoya was in love? Even though he said 'like'…it sounded waaay more than that.

"And who's that? I'LL KICK THEIR LITTLE ASS UNTIL THEY LOVE YOU! OR YOU KNOW WHAT?! I'LL TELL-"

"SYO! Calm down! It's really something you shouldn't worry about. I was just a bit off for today…well…thank you very much for worrying. I'm sorry I got you involved. Thank you, Syo Kurusu."

Syo blushed stupidly. "Yeah, no problem. And it isn't like I helped-"

"Oh, you did! I feel a lot better!"

Syo shyly managed a smile. "Hehe…you are always welcome, Otoya. I, Syo Kurusu, as your trusted friend, will always be by your side."

Otoya put his hands on Syo's shoulders. That was the furthest thing he could do that Syo wouldn't be suspicious about. "I can't thank you enough."

They chatted all the way to their rooms after that. Otoya seemed a lot better and more like himself now, which made Syo feel relieved.

"Sleep well, Syo-kun!"

"Back at you, Otoya! Goodnight!"

Syo entered his room in a way better mood than he left it. But he had some questions.

Why was Otoya so happy when Syo came even if he had barely even tried to comfort him?

Why was Syo thinking dirty thoughts after he saw Otoya's body?

And most of all…Who was that person Otoya 'liked'?

Tiered but thoroughly happy and a bit confused, Syo slept soundly that night.

So sorry this ended too early. Oh well. I have EXAMS, EXAMS, EXAMS…I'll write when I'm free. Thank you very, very much again! You are so ENCOURAGING! Hehe. What do you think should happen? If you tell me, it'll definitely turn out better than if I decide myself. I want a very suitable, sexy and hot kiss. Like the cover. Oh well. I guess if I keep talking, my notes to my beautiful friends will be longer than the story! 3 Sorry for not uploading too soon. Thank you for reading! I hope you have a great day! BYEEE~~! (And I WANT, WANT, WANT reviews. I will even ANSWER, ANWER, ANSWER!)

P.S: Am I annoying?
