A/N: Okay everyone here is chapter 2 of my thought of Misu's point of view throughout Pure. Now to make it so I'm not "copying" the story directly I have thrown in some dialogue and a few other bits to make the story 'my own' in a way. I hope you all enjoy!
Disclaimer: I have no ownership over the characters used in this piece of literature. The dialogue not heard in the movie and my choice of wording for Misu's thoughts are my own however so please don't sue or report me.
Chapter 2 "Ignore the Craving"
Misu rolled over in time to see his roommate Hayama Takumi sling his backpack over his shoulder. "Ohyaou."
Hayama turned around and smiled. "Oyahou Misu-kun. You barely beat curfew last night. And you slept through your alarm."
Misu looked at the clock and sure enough it was nearly twenty minutes past the time he had set his alarm. Luckily for him it was Sunday so there were no classes for him to be late for. He eyed Hayama's backpack , "Where are you going? Isn't it a little early to be visiting Saki? It's been a while since you two have been alone but I'm sure even he likes to sleep in."
Hayama blushed faintly "No it's not that.. I need to check out a few books from the library and I also have a few I'm returning so I'm using my bag to carry them."
Misu only nodded in response before rolling back over on the bed. "If you happen to see Shingyoshi tell him I will be in the executive room for most of the day."
Hayma only nodded as he excused himself from the room.
Misu groaned as the face of his kawaii kouhai appeared in his mind, wait what? Where in the world has that come from? Okay sure he admitted Shingyoshi was attractive but still… Oh who was he kidding? He was attracted to the younger boy but no way was he going to admit that. He pulled Shingyoshi along by the invisible chain he had hooked to the younger boy's collar. Shingyoshi was his and whether the younger boy understood that or not nothing was going to change that fact.
As the third year student changed out of his nightclothes into his uniform he couldn't help but remember that day he found out Shingyoshi Kanemitsu had indeed passed the exam with highly exceptional grades despite that blank answer.
He remembered when Shingyoshi had approached him and in the most respectable way possible asked him if would keep his promise and tell him his first name.
Misu had obliged and told him also allowing him to address him by it as well. Why? He didn't really know. But when he heard Shingyoshi use it the sound just filled him with a sensation he couldn't describe. Of course he would never tell Shingyoshi that.
He told Shingyoshi he would be allowed to address him as 'Arata-san' as long as he was aware there would be consequences.
Once he was in his uniform save his jacket Misu gathered a few files from his desk and headed out of the room. He had to make a stop at one of the classrooms then he planned to grab a quick something or other for breakfast. Lunch was going to be out of the question since he had a lot of work to catch up on including information for the upcoming music festival. He also had to make that call but that could be done later.
Later came sooner then Misu expected and despite being stuck in the executive room for most of the day he still had several tasks to fulfill. He had used most of the evenings after classes to take care of his homework and studying so his 'day off' wasn't really a day off unless one considered it a day off from actual classes and homework.
Just a few more calculations and-
"Konnbonwa!" The door to the executive room opened and in stepped Shingyoshi.
Misu had been surprised his little shadow hadn't tried to see him earlier but in all honesty he was grateful the younger boy hadn't. He needed all the time he could get to finish his tasks. Luckily for him he did had have help. The secretary of the student council; Ooji Taimosu (guessing on the name and the position if it's wrong gomen).
"Be quite when you enter the room." Ooji scolded his kouhai.
Shingyoshi nodded in apology, "I'm sorry."
Misu pretended to ignore the 2nd year and continued adding up the numbers in front of him. But when Shingyoshi walked over to him and greeted him he returned the greeting out of habit.
"That looks hard." Shingyoshi commented.
"You know it doesn't look hard it is hard." Ooji argued. "What do you want with Misu?"
"Um…"
Misu knew what Shingyoshi wanted. He wanted to just be in his crush's presence. For now that seemed to be enough for the younger boy and in all honesty Misu didn't mind it and when he was in the right mood he was happy to oblige.
Speaking of wanting Misu wanted something sweet. It had been quite a number of hours since he had eaten. But with Ooji in the room the best way to cure that craving wasn't in reach, yet. So he opted for choice number two. "Shingyoshi your bag." When Shingyoshi didn't respond he tried again, "Put your bag up here."
"Hai." Finally catching on Shingyoshi did as a he was told and placed his bag on the table.
Misu unzipped the front pouch and sure enough there were some chocolate bits. Two but that would suffice for now. "I'll have this."
"Hey that's my-"
Before the other boy could finish protesting Misu unwrapped the sweet and put it in his mouth. He put the wrapper in Shingyoshi's shirt pocket then turned back to his work.
"Arata-san trash goes in the trash can." Shingyoshi said as he proceeded to throw away the wrapper.
"Sometimes you're really helpful to Misu aren't you?" Ooji pointed out, out of nowhere.
Misu inwardly sighed. He knew Ooji wasn't very fond of Shingyoshi. So in hopes to get the two of them separated he finished up his current task and removed the sheet of paper from the clipboard. "Sorry Ooji but could you give this estimate for the Music Festival to Shimada –sensei as quick as you can?" he knew if he asked Ooji to do something he would. He knew Ooji liked him too and although he wouldn't admit it freely he knew Ooji was jealous of Shingyoshi. So the best thing to do to avoid any more awkwardness was to get the two of them separated.
Ooji accepted the paper, "Okay, I'll be back right away. Then we can-"
"Do you still have something to do?" The estimate had been the task that he had wanted to take care of more then the others and now that it was done. "Here, I'll give you the key for the room." He wasn't going to need it. "I'll finish up here so see you tomorrow." He waited for Ooji to exit the room before turning back to his work, taking care of some last minute calculations for his next task.
"Wow…He's really diligent." Shingyoshi said out of nowhere.
Misu fumed for about half a second. His Shingyoshi wasn't focusing on him. That wouldn't do. Knowing the best way to get the other boy's attention he reached into the messenger bag and pulled out the last chocolate bit. "I'll have the last one, too." He popped it into his mouth.
"Oi, Arata-san, that's mean! I'm starving you know!" Shingyoshi protested.
Misu thought for a moment. He wouldn't have been surprised if Shingyoshi hadn't eaten anything that day. He looked up at the boy with a sincere look on his face. Only to be greeted with this almost non-resistable puppy dog eyes. Perhaps he could- "Then you can have it." But I'll give it to you the way I want to. He reached for Shingyoshi's violet tie not once breaking his gaze on the other boy's eyes. He had wanted something sweet earlier and with no one to interrupt them he was going to fulfill that craving.
Sure the chocolate bit sufficed but it just wasn't enough. No he wanted more. Pulling the other boy closer to him he locked lips with him for a brief second before opening his mouth and using his tongue he transferred the barely sucked on chocolate into the other boy's mouth. Their tongues intertwined for a second and it send a jolt straight through him. The taste of the chocolate bit and Shingyoshi gave him a heady feeling if only for a minute. That's what I would consider a genuine 'chocolate kiss' Once the exchange had been made he wait for Shingyoshi to pull away which surprisingly he did only to be reconnected with him by a sudden embrace.
"I love you Arata-san." Shingyoshi said quietly.
Misu allowed him to stay close for a few moments before pushing him off. "That's enough. You're so annoying." And Shingyoshi was. He was tempting him and it was getting on his nerves.
"But it's because I really like you. Shingyoshi answered.
"Say what you want. It's not like I like you in particular." And that was the truth Misu still wasn't sure about is feelings for the other boy. He knew there was something but to put a definition to it was next to impossible at this point. He still had a lot to sort out when it came to something like love. The only other person he had developed feelings for had already graduated.
Shingyoshi only smiled. "I know."
Misu closed up his books. "Let's go before Ooji comes back." He stood up and headed out of the room with Shingyoshi trying his best to keep up. As he headed towards the main hall of the school he noticed Shingyoshi right on his tail, once more. "What?" he asked adding a tone of annoyance to his voice. He honestly didn't' mind the other boy following him but he wouldn't tell him that.
"Nothing." Shingyoshi said still with that same smile on his face.
Misu patted the other boy's scruffy hair, "You're still such a brat, huh, Shingyoshi." He turned back around covered his mouth in hopes to mask in oncoming yawn. "It's getting late. I think it's best if we return to our dorms."
Shingyoshi offered no argument, "Okay I need to grab a shower before bed anyway." He bowed respectfully going into Kouhai next to his senpai mood and headed off in the opposite direction.
Misu headed back to his and Hayama's room with every intention of changing out of his uniform and relaxing until lights out. Once he was dressed in a more casual attire he fell back against his bed.
"Attention Misu Arata-san you have a phone call."
A phone call? Who would be calling him this close to curfew? There was only one way to find out. Slipping on his shoes he headed down the stairs to the phone and picked up the receiver. "Moshi moshi?"
"It's about time Misu."
When Misu heard the voice he allowed a smile to dance upon his lips. "Ah gomen Sagara-senpai." This was perfect. He had been meaning to contact his senpai the following day so now that could be checked off his to do list. But that wasn't the only reason he was glad his senpai was calling. After sharing that embrace with Shingyoshi earlier the senior couldn't help but notice he still had that craving for something sweet. If anyone could get his mind off of it, it was Sagara-senpai.
"How are things going?"
"They're fine for the most part. I'm president of the student council this year." Misu answered.
"That doesn't come as a bit of a surprise to me Misu. You are quite the talented one."
Misu could feel a faint blush fill his cheeks but luckily for him no one was near to witness the facial expression. "I'm in the same boat you were senpai. Wasn't it tough studying for tests and being in student council at the same time?"
"To be honest I enjoyed the challenge."
"As expected." Misu said.
"Did I ever tell you how I won the race for president for student council?"
The same story huh? It was a favorite "You've already fold me that story so many times. How many times do you have to tell before it's enough?"
"I haven't told it that many times.. Come on Misu, please?"
Misu chuckled deciding to cave in. After all he still had a small crush on the older man, "Fine I'll listen." Besides hearing about something that didn't relate to his current problem was probably a good thing and he was going to take advantage of it while he could. But he knew it wouldn't last long. He was going to have to find those answers. The only thing was he wasn't too sure what the actual questions were either.
A/N: Chapter 3 will be up much much sooner I promise. If anyone would like to continue though 3 reviews = chapter 3.
