The sound of footsteps running rapidly down the hallway interrupts Hideyoshi from his thoughts. Then he hears words, and those disturb him even more.
"Kinoshita-san," a boy from another class shouts. There is a hint of desperation in his voice, mottled with infatuation. It's the kind of voice that makes Hideyoshi worry he's about to get jumped; thankfully, the boy skids to a halt a mere foot in front of him and even manages to refrain from glomping. "Will you marry me?"
Hideyoshi gives him the standard response to random proposals from other men:
"...I'm a boy."
Then he glares at him dryly to see if the point is getting across – this is the sixth encounter this week, and even gentle Hideyoshi loses patience sometimes – but it is obviously not.
"That's okay," the boy replies in a tone that clearly states he's not believing him. "If it's for you, I'll make an exception."
"I'm a boy and I'm straight."
"So that means it'll work out perfectly, right?"

It's so much easier/normal to poke fun at Hideyoshi's gender than Yuuko's. Forgive the last chapter. Akihisa's an idiot/I am too. ;_;
