Chapter 2

Takashi

Three months. We've made it three months living together and my secret hasn't come out. I'm not sure how or even how I feel about that fact. Sure, I'm scared as hell that he might never talk to me again but keeping a secret like this is almost too much. I want so badly to hear someone say the words "it's alright to be who you are". I'd only heard those words from Haruhi, but it didn't mean as much as it would to hear it from him. I mean, the girl's father is a cross dresser. Hell, she's spending her high school years as a cross dresser herself. If I couldn't trust her to understand there was something wrong. But really, it's not the same. I want to hear it from him. I want to hear him say "I don't hate you because you're gay." Because I'm afraid he'll hate me, for who I am. Ironic how the only thing I'm truly afraid of is something about myself.
