"Where is he?" It was already late in the afternoon and Mitsui is still looking for Miyagi.

"Hisashi can I talk to you for a minute?" Kogure suddenly materializes in front of Mitsui.

"Woah! Kimi-chan where did you come from? So anyway what about?"

"You see Sashi-kun, ummm, I've known you for a long time now and I just want to tell you that, umm, you see it's like this," Kogure said eyes downcast and stuttering.

"Yes Kimi-chan?" Mitsui said looking intently at Kogure when suddenly his eyes caught someone with short curly brown hair slowly walking away from the Shohoku building.

"It's like this Sashi-kun. Umm. I lo---," Kogure was about to say something when Mitsui cut him off.

"Just hold a minute Kimi-chan I think I see Ryota. I'll just call you later ok? Ja!," Mitsui hurriedly said to Kogure while rushing off to Miyagi's side. "Miyagi wait up!"

"Hisashi," Kogure sighed dejectedly while looking at Mitsui rushing off to Miyagi.

++++

"Miyagi wait up!" Mitsui shouted.

Miyagi looked up to see who is calling him. 'Oh my god! It's Mitsui!'

Mitsui stopped when he was already beside Miyagi.

"What's up Mitsui-sempai?"

"Finally I've caught up with you. Didn't you know I've been trying to talk you since this morning? You're one guy that is so hard to track"

"Looks like it. I'm sorry. You were about to say something to me early this morning what is it all about?"

"Um Miyagi can we go somewhere private I need to tell you something very important."

'Oh my god! What should I do? This is not good! Maybe I should just make up an excuse to him.' As if preparing himself he coughed once and looked at his watch. "Ah, Mitsui-sempai I ---."

Sensing that Miyagi was about to make an excuse Mitsui immediately put his puppy-dog look and said, "Please Miyagi this will just be a minute."

"Kawaii…" Miyagi whispered. 'Wait a minute I didn't just said that out loud did I?'

'Did he just said I'm cute?' Mitsui muses a blush slowly creeping up to his face. "What did you say?"

"Nothing! What I'm trying to say is if it only takes a few minutes then I guess it wouldn't hurt to listen to you." Miyagi said blushing. "Where do you want to talk?"

'Yes!' Mitsui rejoices quietly. "How about the park?"

"Sure."

++++

'I don't think this is right.' Kogure muses as he followed Mitsui and Miyagi out of the school and as much as possible hide himself from the two basketball players. 'I just want to know what will happen that's all.'

++++

There is an uncomfortable silence between Miyagi and Mitsui while they were walking towards the park. They were just looking straightforward and giving side-glances to each other once in a while. When they arrived at the park they sat on one of the benches overlooking the sunset.

"So."

"I will not go around the bush anymore Miyagi ok? I just want to tell you one thing," Mitsui started.

"Ok---"

"Miyagi I like you. A lot. Not just a friendly like but a deeper like, love even," Mitsui said nervously looking at Miyagi. "Do you get what I' trying to say to you Miyagi?"

Miyagi looked at him blankly. 'Did I just hear Mitsui-sempai confess his love to me?'

'I don't think he gets it.' Mitsui thought as he looks at Miyagi staring at him blankly. 'Guess I'll just tell him extra strong.'

"Miyagi I love you!"

After a couple of minutes Miyagi is still just staring at Mitsui blankly like as if he is totally shock.

'I think I shocked him,' Mitsui said and nudged Miyagi gently. "Oi Miyagi you okay?"

"You're kidding right Mitsui-sempai?" Miyagi finally said.

"Please call me Hisashi, Miyagi. No, I'm not joking Miyagi I'm deadpan serious about this."

"I, I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything Miyagi."

'Just say you love me too,' Mitsui thought.

"Don't you want an answer?"

"Of course I do! It's just that I don't want to rush you, that's all."

"Why me Mitsui-sempai?" Miyagi asked seriously.

"I told you call me Hisashi."

"Fine! Why me Hi, Hisahi?" Miyagi seemed uncomfortable calling Mitsui Hisashi.

"To tell you the truth I don't know either. It just happened."

"It just happened?"

"Yeah! Actually I don't even know when it happened. I just realized it between our brawls, bickerings, everytime we high-fived when we score a goal during a game, it just occurred to me and thought 'Good god! I love this person and I don't want to lose him!' It may seem shallow to you but that's just how I feel about you." Mitsui looks at Miyagi and he can see that he is still unconvinced.

Mitsui continued, "I fell in love with you maybe because of your skills in basketball, you know how I love basketball right? Or maybe because of your cocky attitude that somehow resembles mine, or your mushroom head-"

"Oi, oi!"

"I was just kidding Miyagi."

"This is not the time to joke around Hisashi."

Mitsui smiled when Miyagi called him by his first name without uncertainty. "I know, Gomen Miyagi." They were silent for a while until Mitsui broke it.

"Look Miyagi you don't question a person why he loves someone. You just don't. Love comes naturally not because you wanted it but it just happens. You don't choose who to love Miyagi but love does."

"But were both guys Hisashi."

"Love conquers all Miyagi from social classes, religion, age and even gender. As long as you truly love each other all those that I've mentioned don't matter."

"I don't know what answer I can give you Hisashi."

"I'm not forcing you to answer me right now Miyagi. I know that this is all new to you. I'm willing to wait for you even if it will take me years to get your answer. I'm willing to wait because I love you"

"Thank you," With that said Miyagi stood up and started to walk away.

"Miyagi--- I really do love you," Mitsui said to no one in particular as he looks at Miyagi's retreating form.

++++

Kogure heard it all. He was behind a tree not far away from the bench where the two were sitting on.

'Hisashi you're right. You really do love him.' Kogure muses as tears started cascading on his face. 'Do I stand a chance to you Sashi-kun or should I just give up right now?'

Kogure looked at Mitsui's form one last time before he started to walk away and head for his house. He wanted to be alone in his room right now, his sanctuary.
