Gosh! Thanks for the reviews! BTW, I've only watched Junjou Romantica, almost every alternate week. ((It's that addictive)) FYI, I changed my penname. You know the drills. I do not own JR. OOC alert, maybe.
Note to self: M University, Onsen Research Group aka ORG.

Akihiko Usami & Misaki Takahashi

Dear mother and father in heaven, God must have hated my guts for straying off the path.
Misaki Takahashi let out a long exasperated sigh as he walked into the University's ground. The morning fresh air was still chilly but it sounded as though Misaki had just gone through a very long day.
I wanted to get taller but a certain someone made it impossible to happen. Please tell God that I am sorry.
A slap on his back startled him. Misaki shrieked promptly.
"Yo, Misaki," greeted a merry voice, Misaki swiveled. A tall muddy haired man stood beside him, looking at him as he fixed his glasses askew.
"Morning, senpai," he muttered, sighing again. The light caught the latter's glasses as he noticed Misaki's depression. Misaki merely glanced at him before he threw his olive gaze on the floor, crestfallen.
"I don't think I would be able to grow anymore," he said dejectedly, answering his silent question. Keiichi Sumi slapped his mouth shut to suppress his laughter from bursting out loud.
'Did he really believed what I said to him yesterday?!' He stared in bewildered at his junior who was still gloomy, his eyes shone in amuse.

The Day Before
--
A glamorous red sport car screeched as it stopped in front of the university entrance, catching a glint of the rising sun on its shiny surface, stealing the attention of the bystander. The passenger's door clicked open and a brown haired boy stepped out of the car.
"Thanks for the ride, Usagi-san," chirped the boy and before the older man could reply, his eyebrows furrowed in annoyance when he saw Misaki was hugged from the back by no other than Misaki's senior.
"Good morning, Usami-sensei. I'll be taking care of Misaki from here onwards," chirped Sumi-senpai as he dragged Misaki with a smile plastered on his face. Usagi's lips thinned in annoyance before he left, nearly knocking a tall man who hurriedly crossing the road.
The raven haired man bowed in apology but Usagi drove away without stopping.
"That stupid rabbit!" snapped Misaki at the car as he ran toward the man, Sumi-senpai followed him behind.
"So sorry on that idiot driver behalf," Misaki bowed at the man. The man smiled a gentle smile.
"It's alright. It was my fault to cross the road without looking," he said, his navy eyes shone in sincerity. Misaki stared at him in awe. Not only that he was tall, but he even has a big heart. Misaki wished that he could be as tall as him.
"Nowaki!" called a familiar voice came running toward the tall man. Misaki's eyes widened in horror, he couldn't swallow the fact that that person has a connection with the man that has the kindest smile he had ever seen.
"Ahh… Hiro-san," crooned the man named Nowaki, pleased. Hiroki Kamijou panted once he reached on the man's side, his hands on his knees.
"Sorry for troubling you like this again, Nowaki," he said, taking an envelope from the tall man who smiled in reply.
"It's nothing, Hiro-san," he said gently, Misaki found the situation hard to comprehend, especially it involved with his professor whom he knew as "The Demon Professor Kamijou".
Hiroki realized that they weren't alone; he threw a glare at Misaki who startled.
"Go to class right now!" he snapped at him harshly.
"Yes sir!" cried Misaki as he took Sumi-senpai by the wrist and ran. After a while, they began to slow down and soon walked their way to the class.
"Senpai," Misaki piped up, his gaze on the floor, Sumi-senpai hummed in reply. Misaki hesitated. "He—that Nowaki guy was tall wasn't he?"
"Eh?" Sumi-senpai was surprised by the question. He tapped his chin, "Yes, he is," He saw Misaki fidgeted uncomfortably.
"It's so nice to be that tall," he heard Misaki muttered quietly.
"Yea, you're quite short," shrugged the latter in a-matter-of-fact tone. A smirk threatened to wipe across his face as a naughty thought played in his mind.
"Hey Misaki," Sumi-senpai said suddenly. Misaki turned to look at him. "Did you know…" his eyes dark shone in malice as Misaki looked innocently at him.
"Did you know that when a person became an uke their growth stops?" Misaki froze, his eyes widened in dismay. He gulped bitterly before he could find his voice back.
"R-R-Really?" he laughed nervously, avoiding his gaze. Misaki shot his head to look at him when he realized what he was saying, blushing crimson.
"Gosh, senpai, I'm not saying that I'm gay! Seriously!" defended Misaki as he shook his head furiously, walking backward, away from the senior in embarrassment.
"You are not very honest, aren't you?" chuckled Sumi-senpai. Misaki bit his lips in chagrin. "It's true you know, about the uke theory. If you want to grow, you better do something about this," he added.
He turned to look at the younger boy. He knew that he took the bait wholly. Misaki was troubled deeply.
'So naïve,' he mused, shaking his head as he suppressed a laugh. It was so much fun to tease him.

I hope there are no OOC, I'm still new in JR. I never knew this chapter was so short until I uploaded it. Review would be nice.
