It was after school and me and Sunao made our way to Sora's apartment. When we got outside I turned to Nao. "Sunao I think I need to warn you. My parents are different from other parents." "Eh? Different how?" "Well um they're both males." "As if that bothers me Sora!" "Eh?" "I'm saying that I don't care if you're parents are both males. Wait then what about your mother?" I looked down at the ground. "Oh so-sorry! It can't be easy to talk about. I'll shut my big mouth now." "I know nothing about my mother or my real father. They died when I was a baby." "I'm sorry. I know what it's like to lose a parent. My father died when I was a baby too. Me and my mother have managed to survive though." I could tell that Nao's sadness was deeper than that but I didn't want to pry too much. I was also hiding more sadness.

We opened the door and walked in. "Tadaima!" I called. Nanami walked in. "Welcome home Sora. Hello there Fujimori-kun I'm Sora's foster parent. It's nice to meet you!" "Nice to meet you too and please don't be so formal call me Sunao or Sunao-kun or even Nao I don't mind at all." "Okay then I ask you while you're in this house to call me Nanami-chan." "Okay!" Sunao said smiling. "So Sora how was school?" "Great thanks." I answered. "Sora was the one who saved me from drowning." "Yes it was Subaru who did it right? Sora had trouble with him before. That kid is nothing but a nasty piece of work." Sunao looked at me with sympathy and understanding. I realised We were probably a lot alike.

"So Nao what would you like to do?" I asked. Sunao's face flushed when I called him Nao. "Ano I don't mind. What did you have in mind?" "Umm well I have a boxset of CSI New York. Have you ever watched it?" "Bits and pieces it's an interesting series." I grinned glad we like the same things. We watched an episode of it. "Gary Sinise is an amazing actor." Sunao said after. "You think so too? Wow we really do have the same tastes!" Sunao laughed "I guess we do!" We laughed at how alike we were. There was a knock at the door. "Sora! Nao! Dinner!" Nanami called. We went downstairs. Shinichirou Onii-chan was there too.

After dinner Nao and I went upstairs. "What do you want to do now? I mean I've got some CD's we could listen to while talking if you want?" "That'd be great!" Sunao went over to my CD collection. "You've got Skillet? I love Skillet! Oh and Within Temptation! And Rise Against! You have most of my favorite bands!" We decided to put Skillet on. We started listening to it. "What's your favorite song Nao?" "What do you mean? My favorite song of Skillet's or just my favorite song?" "Your favorite song of Skillet I'll put it on for you." "Oh I like 'Last Night'. But I like 'Hero' too." I put on Last night. As I put on 'Last Night' Sunao and I started singing. Sunao was perfect for it. He sang with his voice full of sorrow it hurt me slightly to hear it. It made me want to comfort him.

I found myself reaching for Sunao's hand. Sunao reached out for mine. We grasped each others hands and looked into each other's eyes. We finished the song. I could feel Sunao's face getting closer to mine. I leaned down a little more. The second our lips were about to touch we pulled away quickly having no idea what we were doing. "Sorry." I muttered going red. Sunao turned back to me and embraced me gently. "Sora is it okay to hug you?" He asked. My arms wrapped around him. "Of course." I mumbled. We held each other like that for a while until I felt Sunao pull away a little. We looked at each other again. It was like we were seeing through each other. "Sora." Sunao whispered softly as our lips once more began to meet.

Our lips touched one another's a little shy. We knew we couldn't turn back now. There was something between us. As I took him home I turned to him and he looked at me. "Do you want to come to mine next time?" He asked me. "Sure that's fine with me." Sunao smiled at me his eyes shining with happiness. He looked adorable. I couldn't help but smile back. "Sayonara Kuu-chan." He said giggling a bit. "Wait! Kuu-chan?" "It's a nickname I thought of for you. Can I call you Kuu-chan?" "Sure I don't mind Kuu-chan it is! Then can I call you Nao-chan?" "If you want to." He kissed me softly on the lips again and ran into his house. That was when I knew I had fallen in love with him...
