Friendship starts Love

Chapter 4

Kouji was shocked to say the least at what he was seeing; his friend was pressed up against the wall and it wasn't just any friend it was non other than Takuya who had his arms pinned above his head and his legs pinned down by the person's leg. Takuya looked on the verge of tears as the person was kissing him. Kouji thought for a second on what to do then decided to sneak up to the person and knock him unconscious or so that he is shocked enough to let Takuya go. All Kouji had to do was find something he could smash on the head of the person. So he looked around but could only find a trash can so with a shrug he sneaked up behind the person and knocked him unconscious with the trash can b slamming it down on the person's head with incredible force. The person let go of Takuya and slumped on the concrete floor landing with a thud. Takuya stepped out of the person's grip and collapsed but before he hit the ground Kouji caught him around the waist holding him steady. Kouji looked at the person in disgust but only then noticed it was a man that was raping Takuya. He eyed him carefully making sure that he was unconscious then turned his attention to Takuya. "Are you okay? Why am I asking this of course your not okay since you were just being sexually assaulted by some random person." "It's nice to know you care" said Takuya. Kouji got out his cell phone and rang the police to report the sexual assault that took place. After he hung up he asked Takuya "do you want to come over to my place tonight since it is not far from here or do you want to go home but I am going to walk you home if you chose to go home since we don't want something like what I just witnessed happening again now do we, ne?" "I want to go to your place, I don't think I can face my parents at the moment and I can hear the police coming." Indeed the police came and asked questions then took the unconscious man and left.

"Okay Takuya this way to get home, can you walk on your own?" "Of course I can watch" as Takuya spoke he took two steps then fell but yet again Kouji caught him before he hit the ground. "I didn't think you could have walked." So Kouji put Takuya's arm around his shoulders and put his hand around Takuya's waist and started walking home as Takuya turned red and thought 'why am I red, am I blushing? But this is just Kouji gee, I don't understand' as Takuya thought this he forced the blush down but his face was still tinted pink. They both walked in silence and when they reached Kouji's place he opened the door and stepped inside. The two boys removed their shoes and walked to Kouji's room.

Kouji brought a chair over to the bed and told Takuya to sit on the bed while Kouji sat on the chair. Takuya didn't argue so he just sat down on the bed. Kouji then started to talk "so how did it happen?" It didn't take a genius to figure out what 'it' was. "I was walking around then this guy came out of now where and grabbed me from behind and took me to an alley way and pushed me up against the wall and you know, you saw what happened." By the end of that Takuya had tears cascading down his face so Kouji did the first thing he could think of… he hugged him so that Takuya was crying in his chest clinging onto his shirt like a life line that if he let go Kouji would disappear. "Shh… it's okay, you are not in an alley way any more… hush now…" Kouji murmured softly. Takuya's sobs were now reduced to deep breathing. Kouji on impulse kissed Takuya's forehead; Takuya's cheeks were tinted a light pink colour. "Umm… thanks for coming to get me, 'sigh' I'm sorry for having been too weak to save myself." "You are not weak, it just happened at the wrong time that's all." "Thanks for the words of comfort and for being there for me." "Hey what are friends for, ne?" "Yeah… friends." 'But it was funny since when that man was sexually harassing me I wanted Kouji to kiss me instead.' "How bout we get some sleep okay" Kouji was about to head out the door but Takuya's voice made him stop "please don't go" his voice sounded so pitiful so Kouji sat back down on the seat he occupied before then said "Takuya you will need to get some rest" "kay, your not going to leave are you?" Takuya questioned. "No, I will stay right here okay?" "Okay, goodnight Kouji and thanks." "For what" "Just being there" and with that as Takuya's last words he fell asleep.

The next morning when he woke up he noticed his surroundings "this isn't my room" Takuya then looked at his side and found Kouji sitting on the chair asleep everything that happened the night before came back to Takuya and it made him smile. 'Kouji didn't leave after all, hmm… he is kinda cute when he's sleeping, I wonder what he look like with his hair out… where did those thoughts come from… hmm doesn't matter now.' Takuya continued to watch Kouji for another two minutes until Kouji woke up. "Ohayo Kouji kun, have a nice sleep?" "Huh, oh ohayo Takuya, not really since I was sleeping in a chair and where did the kun suffix come from?" "Don't know, just felt like saying it." "Okay, how was your sleep?" "Fine thanks, I feel much better and it's all thanks to you" "me?" asked a confused Kouji. "Yes you" "what did I do?" "Just being there for me, you know, life can act in very strange ways." "Like how?" Takuya then smirked and said "like this" and so Takuya leaned over and kissed Kouji on the lips. Kouji was shocked, his eyes grew wide and he tensed up. Takuya pulled back and with the smirk still on his face "gee loosen up by the way are you homophobic?" "No, I'm not that narrow minded why are you?" "No otherwise I wouldn't have done what I did not to long ago." "Well then let me return the favour" said Kouji and also smirked as Takuya was slowly backing away because he thought that Kouji was going to punch him. Takuya then backed up against the wall "gee why does the door have to be on the other side of the room?" Takuya questioned as Kouji stood in front of him then lowered himself since Takuya was sitting on the ground in a defensive position. Kouji lifted Takuya's head then kissed him on the lips and he felt Takuya respond to the kiss, Kouji smirked and pulled back but he still kept the smirk on his face as Takuya pouted. Kouji whispered in Takuya's ear and said "enjoyed that didn't you?" All Takuya did was nod as Kouji's tongue darted out and licked Takuya's ear as Takuya shivered from the contact.

Kouji held out a hand to help Takuya up which Takuya accepted and they walked out of the room like nothing had happened. "Takuya kun, do you want breakfast?" "Yeah, umm but I can't cook." "Oh, that's okay I can cook, so pancakes sound good?" "Yeah, thanks" as Kouji was mixing the batter Takuya was observing his surrounding but got bored so he decided to observe Kouji instead. Kouji who was now cooking the pancakes could feel a pair of eyes boring into his back. Kouji turned around to face Takuya and asked "did you want something?" Takuya who was in a daze like state said "huh?!" "Takuya kun, I asked if you wanted something" "umm no thanks Kouji kun" Takuya said while sweat dropping. Kouji nodded and continued to cook the pancakes. Once the pancakes were done he set a plateful in front of Takuya and got one for himself.

Then both ate in silence that was until Takuya asked "what are we doing today?" "Today we are going to school so once you have finished eating we will head to school." When Takuya had finished eating Kouji took the plates and washed them then put the on the drying rack. "Why don't we go to your place so you can get the books and the utensils you need." "Okay, oh and thanks for having me over." Kouji nodded then they made their way to Takuya's place.

Once they reached Takuya's place he unlocked to door and walked in gesturing to Kouji to follow which he did. In Takuya's room Takuya went and pick up his book bag and then looked over to his bed and saw a lump under the covers so he pulled the sheets back and saw Shinya asleep in his bed… in his (Shinya's) school uniform.

They walked to Tomoki's place and picked him up then walked to rest of the way to Shinya and Tomoki's school. When they reached their destination they said their goodbyes then parted ways. During the rest of the walk Takuya kept thinking his thoughts on a certain navy haired. 'Wonder why he always keeps his expression guarded? Hmm… even if I ask him he probably won't even give me a straight answer. Wow we made it to school already and I didn't even notice. That's probably what they call 'your feet guide you somewhere subconsciously' and I didn't even know if it would work but I guess it does… well better head to class' was the last thought before he said to Kouji "I'm going to my locker before the bell rings, meet you in the class room" then Takuya turned and left. Once reaching his destination and getting the required books out he headed to his first lesson, which was mathematics since everyone had it in the first lesson that day.

During said lesson a certain navy haired with a bandana on said person's head thought 'why do I keep thinking of Takuya, I mean we're friends aren't we??? Hmm… he's got a nice smile and he looks cute when he's sleeping… what am I thinking we're friends, I shouldn't be thinking this way. I mean he's a guy and I don't even understand what I am talking about, gee this is so confus-' "Mr Minamoto would you like to solve the problem that is on the board." The teacher stated rather than asked. Kouji looked up and stared at the board for a moment and on the board it read (2x plus 1)(x-2)-(x plus 3)(2x-1). "The answer is -8x plus 1." "It is good to know that you know the answer and all but please pay attention in class while I am explaining things." "Hai sensei."

In another class room a brunette with a cap and goggles on his head was also in thought. 'Hmm… wonder what Kouji is doing now, wonder why he never lets his hair out, maybe one day he will let me see him with his hair out. Wonder what he looks like when he smiles since I don't think I've seen him smile befor-' "Mr Kanbara please solve the problem on the board" "umm… okay." On the board, what was written was (4x-3)(2x5). "Umm the answer is…" 'think brain think, oh I know' "it is

8x squared plus 14x-15." "Correct" and so the teacher left him alone for the rest of the lesson.

When it was lunch time (too lazy to do lessons) the gang met up for lunch under the sakura tree. They ate and talked about nothing in particular then headed for their next lesson. By the end of the day Takuya was relieved so he didn't need to think any more. Not that he could think of anything else since a navy haired boy was constantly on his mind. The navy haired was also in a similar predicament with the goggle-head on his mind.

Like usual they walked Tomoki home then walked home themselves. They parted ways when they reached Takuya and Shinya's place and said their goodbyes.

During the night before each fell asleep they thought about each other and each fell asleep with the image of the other in their minds.
