Chapter 2: A Place to Stay

"Um... excuse me... are you okay?"

Shinobu looked up, fully ready to chase off anyone who disturbed him right now, but upon looking up his eyes locked with gentle green ones and he couldn't bring himself to even give a full glare.

The boy standing beside him just stood there, awaiting a reply with caring eyes. He had brown, short hair and fair skin. It didn't escape Shinobu's notice, however, that his irises were slightly pink and his eyes were a bit puffy.

Is this guy trying to comfort me when he was obviously crying himself not long ago? Shinobu wondered, getting slightly aggravated, thought it didn't show on his face.

Misaki just stood quietly, his hand still on the boy's shoulder and still bending downward – which wasn't very comfortable. He wasn't sure why he had bothered walking over to the boy, but when he saw him run past the bench he had been sitting on and break down a few feet away, Misaki knew that he other brunette was going through a heartbreak too, so he thought he'd try to make him feel better.

Though now that Misaki was standing next to this kid he was now faced with the difficulty of trying to act comforting under the other man's glare. Not only that, but he also had to resist the urge to pull the kid into a hug after seeing how utterly distraught the rest of him looked. His back was slumped, his hands were still at his face, if you got past how his eyebrows were knitted and his eyes were narrowed you could clearly see how much agony he was going through and tears were still trailing freely down his cheeks. He looked just as bad as Misaki felt.

After a few more moments of silence Shinobu got over his momentary shock and whipped his face. "I'm fine." he muttered, looking away from the other man. Only after rising to his feet did he notice the other laughing slightly.

"You don't look fine..." Misaki pointed out, reaching up and fixing Shinobu's hair slightly. Some of the locks of hair had flew up during his run.

"You're one to talk!" Shinobu barked, pulling away and patting his hair down. What was this guy tryin' to do, make fun of him?

Misaki blinked. "What do you mean?"

Shinobu stepped forward, pointing one finger at the other's face. "You look like you've bawled your eyes out! And you have the nerve to insult my appearance?"

Misaki's hands flew up to his eyes, rubbing them frantically as if it'd make some of the swelling that came with crying away. "O-oh, do I? I'm sorry! And I didn't mean to insult you." he assured, looking at the other with one eye while he rubbed the other.

At this Shinobu flinched back. He had to admit that his actions right then made him look cute. A blush lightly spread on his face as he looked at the guy wipe the excess tears away and massaged his eyes with his fingers. He had never seen a cute guy before, then again he hadn't ever seen any cute girls either. Miyagi had called him cute once or twice in the time they had been together in passing, but he never saw himself as cute when he looked in the mirror. But this guy was cute!

When Misaki was done wiping his eyes he turned to Shinobu and he pointed to his own face, smiling. "Better now?"

Shinobu blushed deeper. "Ah, yeah..." he muttered, turning away. "So why were you crying to begin with?"

Misaki's smile lowered slightly. "Oh, I broke up with my bo- ah, girlfriend..." he corrected himself, thought his slip up didn't go unnoticed. "And you?"

"I broke up with my boyfriend." Shinobu muttered, not ashamed to admit his preference.

"O-oh..." Misaki mumbled. He was feeling slightly guilty now for lying since the other didn't bother to lie or anything.

They both stood there in awkward silence for a few more moments before Shinobu turned around. "So what's your name?"

"Huh? Oh, it's Takahashi Misaki. You?" Misaki answered, caught slightly off guard.

"Takatsuki Shinobu." he answered bluntly.

"So, are you gonna be okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Okay then. I'll be going, then." Misaki announced, feeling a bit nervous, but he knew he didn't have any time to play with.

"Ah, where are you going?" Shinobu asked suddenly, stepping forward and grabbing Misaki's arm.

This took Misaki by surprise. He reflexively jerked his arm out of the other's grip and twirled around. "Ah, I have to head my brothers!" Misaki answered a little too quickly.

"Oh... well do you think you could come with me to get something to eat? I'm rather hungry." Shinobu mumbled, a bit uncharacteristically shy.

"Um, sure." Misaki mumbled. I should be able to catch a train the last train... He though. And he was happy. Being around Shinobu almost made him forget all about Usami-san.

And so they went to a restaurant that Shinobu had chosen. They had ate fairly quickly, however they talked for several hours. Misaki did most of the talking, but Shinobu still added his opinions and provided stories, too.

By the time they had finished talking Misaki had found out that Shinobu was younger than him, though not by much, that he had been to Australia and his dad was dean at the school he was going to.

Shinobu and Misaki left the restaurant and as they were exiting Misaki looked at the time on his phone.

"Ah, crap!" Misaki hissed, debating what to do.

"What?" the other asked, looking over his shoulder at brunette's phone which was still in his hand, open. Nothing seemed out of place. He wasn't even looking at a message or anything.

"I missed the last train!" he cursed.

"You mean you don't live around here?"

"No, when I broke up with my, er, girlfriend, she kicked me out of our apartment." Misaki chuckled nervously and shoved his phone in his pocket.

Shinobu frowned. It was becoming blatantly clear (after the conversation they had in the restaurant and all) that his ex wasn't female. "You too, eh?" Shinobu muttered. "Well you can come with me. I'm going to my sister's."

"Are you sure it'll be okay?" Misaki asked after a few moments of hesitation.

"Yeah, it'll be fine. C'mon." Shinobu started walking forward without a second thought leaving Misaki to follow after a few seconds.

"T-thank you!"

Whew~ done! This actually took me a whole day? Woow~ and to think it's not that good. SORRY! I didn't do so great with this chapter... I suck at introductions. And this chapter is extreamly slow compared to the last one (seriously, though, how am I supposed to top drunk Usagi-san?) The next chapter should be better! Thanks for reading.

Reviews make my day~! ^v^
