"Biology… it su-u-u-ucks!" I whined to myself, my cheek resting on my desk as I let my hands dangle on the side.
"C'mon Shibuya, Cheer up! It wasn't that bad." My dear, know-it-all best friend replied as he patted my back.
I rolled my eyes in annoyance. "That's what you think…" I answered; my voice sounded defeated. Murata just chuckled in return.
"Ugh! Why! Wh-y-y-y!" I continued to moan.
"You know, this is exasperating. Hearing you make a fuss out of—"
"Well can you blame me? I got a 70 in my test; 70% with no mercy!" I retorted.
Murata sighed at my response and in less than a second was in my view. He might be all smarty-pants, but he has descent style: wearing a red and brown striped rugby shirt with some black skinny jeans, finishing the look with his coffee color Chukka lows from Vans. It was probably just coincidental that I had the same style, except I had on a white polo shirt on top of my brown rugby shirt, blue boot-cut denims, and black Converse.
"Poor unfortunate Shibuya; here you are whining when in reality you brought this upon yourself," he said, nonchalantly, eyes now covered by the glisten of his glasses.
I raised an eyebrow in curiosity and replied, "How so?"
"Well, if you would have been a little less 'busy' with your boyfriend then you would have had plenty of time to study," he replied matter-of-factly, making me jerk my head from my previous position.
Using my hands to make a point in the process, I defended, "Don't bring Wolf into this! This has nothing to do with him."
He chuckled. "Well at least you're not slouching anymore." I just pouted, finally standing from my chair.
"Speaking of the spoiled brat," he began as I bent down to pick my brown messenger bag from the floor, "how is he doing? Since I haven't seen him and all."
I turned to face him. "You know he would kill you if he hears you calling him that," I warned.
"True," he said, laughing, "but I'm your best friend so he can't." I just shook my head in disbelief and chuckled.
"Let's go Murata, it's getting late," I heeded, leading the way to the door.
As we headed out, I decided to finally answer his question. "Wolf is good. Actually, he should be going back to the institute this week; well he should be there by now." A smile graced my face as I began thinking of my boyfriend; this of course was not missed by Murata.
"You are a changed man, Shibuya." He laughed quietly. I raised an eyebrow at him in curiosity.
"How so?"
"Well, look at you. We talk about von Bielefeld and your whole demeanor changes," he told me.
"True." I placed my hands on the back of my head as we continued walking to the school courtyard. "Say Murata?"
"Yeah, what is it?"
"If I decide to learn sign language, do you think I could learn fast?" I questioned him.
"Well, it depends on you Shibuya," he began, shrugging as he added; "some people take years and a lot of practice to finally get it, while others can start grasping the language right away."
"Oh… I see," I replied, a little disappointed.
"Look," he started. We stopped walking and he placed a hand on my shoulder. "You're smart Shibuya, but like I told you before, not 'till you set your priorities will you be able to find out how fast and how much you'll be able to grasp. Sign language is hard, just like learning any other language. It takes dedication and determination and even though you have all this, at the moment you have your hands full."
I sighed, shoulders slumped. "I know that… but I want to try. I promised Wolf I wanted to try and learn." The moment I said those words a sly smile appeared on my friend's face.
"Is there something you're not telling me here?"
I blushed due to the real meaning behind his question. "N-no, nothing like that—"
"You're telling me, that nothing has happened between you two," he sarcastically said, changing the subject in his own perverted way. I felt getting even redder. This is so embarrassing!
"Of course that hasn't happened! I mean I would love to"—as I mention this, his curiosity perks up even more and he raises an eyebrow—"but, his brothers would kill me! Not only that but he's still young and—"
"Meaning he's just fourteen and you're scared of hurting him," he finished. I sighed in defeat and nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, but it's not only that… I mean, I want to do a lot more with him, not because I think it's right, but because I know we are both ready. Not that we are ready just now. It's still too early for that, but it's something I would love to do with Wolf. Do I make any sense?" I asked in frustration, ruffling my hair with a hand.
"You make perfect sense for someone who is in love."
I just chuckled and continued, "It's scary; I've been so busy with life that I never really thought about sex with anyone before, or just relationships as a whole. All I wanted was to be able to go pro after high school or go to college on a sports scholarship and be closer to my dreams. I love soccer—always had. But now, even though I still want to go pro, I feel that I need to add him into my equation; like you said a while back, remember?"
He laughed. "How can I forget? I punched you that day."
I rubbed my cheek. "Yeah, I can't forget that either," I replied, laughing myself.
"So, do you love him?"
"Yeah, I do… I want to tell him—god how I wish I could—but… when I do tell him, I want to sign it and mean it and be able to talk to him. As much as I love to text him, it's not the same. When we went to the police station and I saw Conrad translate for him, I felt envious, because that should have been me. I want to be his voice Murata…"
"But there's more right?" he asked me, and I nodded.
"Yeah… seeing him sign and noticing how far he has come, I feel like I'll lose him if I don't at least try," I replied.
"You amaze me my friend; but if you want to learn, then you know I can teach you."
"Thanks, but—"
"Oh, I see. Boyfriend beat me to the punch," he replied.
"Yeah," I chuckled.
"Just don't work too hard. Semis are around the corner," he informed.
"Don't remind me," I said, a bit displeased.
"Well Shibuya, as much as I would love to continue this chat with you, I have to get going, now that my favorite student is back and eager to learn since he too, will become a teacher." He winked at me and I just coughed uncomfortably. "I need to be on time; if I don't want to get killed that is."
"Yeah, I understand. Besides, practice is calling me." We started heading in opposite directions until Murata suddenly shouted at me.
"Oh, wait! Before I forget, when are you going back to the institute?"
"Didn't I tell you? Ever since Gwendal found out I'm dating Wolf, he told von Grantz to just give me the credit, since he doesn't want me anywhere near his precious little brother." Murata laughed heartily.
"Well, we will figure something out then." Then he jogged away.
I chuckled in amusement as I replied to my now far away friend, "Alright," before heading to the boys' locker room.

"Yo, Shibuya! Wait up, Man!" Carl yelled a few feet from where I was, making me stop in my tracks and turn to watch as he ran towards me.
"Hey Carl!" I greeted, waving back in acknowledgment. Carl was soon standing next to me and we headed to meet with the rest of the team in the soccer field.
"Isn't this great?! Getting back on the field and some practice," he stated excitedly and I just shook my head in agreement and smiled.
"You bet. A little longer and who knows what would have happened."
Carl just shivered. "Don't even think about that," he told me, a bit put out by my remark.
"Ladies! We can talk about things later!" Coach stated as he clapped his hands to get our attention. Carl and I looked at each other and sprinted towards the team. Apparently we were the last ones to arrive and that was not a good thing…
"Alright everyone! I know we have had a very long break and I apologize for that, but… I do hope you had enjoyed it," Coach said as he smiled at all of us while we began to talk amongst ourselves and share some of the things we did. But unfortunately, that didn't last long.
"And now," Coach began speaking, a little softer than usual, "give me two miles around the field." His conclusion was followed by that sweet smile that turned to the cunning one he usually had.
"What!" the entire team exclaimed in unison.
"Whine and it will be three."
We all began to run for our lives.
"This… is… just… too… much!" Alex said in between breaths as we managed our thirtieth squat.
"Tell me about it," another teammate replied.
"Let's go you bunch of wimps!" Coach said, making me chuckle.
"Shibuya! Is there something you want to share with the rest of us?" he questioned me, a stern tone adorning his voice. I just shook my head and replied, "No sir."
Coach tortured us that afternoon, from running to squats and then from shooting to passing; it was just a little bit of everything and I couldn't wait to go home. The whistle finally blew, thank god, and we all gathered around him.
"That was a great work out everyone. I'm very proud of all of you. Now go home and rest and see you guys tomorrow." He dismissed us and a general sigh of relief was heard all around. We all sluggishly headed to the locker room and do what we had to do before going home.

"Hey, Captain," Carl said as he stood next to me.
"Hey," I replied, a bit tired.
Carl and I lived not far from each other so we usually went home together after practice. As we walked my phone beeped and I knew who that was, pulling it out of my back pocket.
'Wimp, how was practice?' Wolf texted me and a small smile caressed my face at that moment.
'Not a wimp -.-' I replied as I chuckled, 'Good, just tired x_x' I added. Wolf and I began to text, making me completely forget about my friend.
'Must have been a busy work out, then…'
'Yeah it was :sighs:'
'So… I guess I won't see you tonight…'
'Wolf-chan, do you want me to stop by and see you for a bit ^-^?'
'Don't call me that! --;… And no, that's fine =.='
'Aww, but Wolfie!'
'No, Yuuri… you're tired, get some rest.'
'Alright…' I texted back and sighed.
"So, who's the girl?" Carl asked me. I snapped up from my world.
"Wha—?"
"Well yeah, you completely zoned out while you were texting." He shrugged and I could only blush. I usually don't talk about my personal life with my teammates, so it took me by surprise, but… somehow, my stomach began to churn. For some reason, I got uncomfortable. How was he supposed to react at my response? This is something I didn't plan for.
"Well?" He questioned, raising an eyebrow in curiosity. I coughed as I tried to clear my throat and replied, "Oh, it's not a girl."
"Oh?" he curiously asked.
"Yeah, it's my boyfriend," I casually stated and at that moment I felt my face flush beet red. I seriously hoped it wouldn't blow in my face.
"Who-o-o-ah, Shibuya! I would have never expected you to be gay," he answered bluntly, making me feel very uncomfortable.
"Believe me, I wasn't expecting it either."
"Wow!" he stated.
"Ye-e-ah," I stuttered. He stopped walking, and so did I. Then he faced me with this tilt to his head, crossing his arms and making feel even more uneasy. "What?" I asked, now a bit annoyed at his action.
He shook his head. "Nothing… it's just that you don't seem like that type, but then again… soccer was your number one priority to begin with."
"Whatever," I replied.
"Hey, don't get me wrong. Whoever you decide to love is your business. But, this was way too unexpected." Carl chuckled and I rolled my eyes. "So… is he pretty?" And it was my turn to raise an eyebrow in curiosity as I asked the first thing that came to my mind: "Huh?"
"Well yeah, is he?" he asked once more.
"Yeah… he is," I dreamily stated.
"Wow. He must be someone really important," Carl said in awe.
"What do you mean?" I asked as I fell back into reality, for probably the third time today.
"I ask a simple question and you answer in such a dreamy state, it's actually pretty funny."
I snorted in response.
"Maybe you should bring him to practice sometime," he suggested, taking me by surprise.
"Oh, I don't know—"
"Hey if you are worried about what the rest of the team will think—"
"Oh, no, it's not that; whether they approve or not is not my business. Even though I do know some might be displeased or just grossed out…" I told him.
He shook his head in disagreement. "You'll be surprised. Everyone admires you and we all have great respect for you as a captain and as a friend, so it would probably slide… just a little."
"Still—"
"Don't worry about minor things. People will either accept it or disagree. That's how it is; especially since some people are completely against it, but that's just how life is. Hey, I have to leave. I have hurry home and study for a test tomorrow. See ya! Oh and bring him by sometime. I bet he's pretty cute; he has to be if he got your attention." As he finished he ran past me, leaving me stunned on how wise he actually was.
Pretty soon he was out of sight. I glanced at my watch and saw that it was 7:15 pm; it was pretty early still, so I did the next best thing.
'Hey Wolf, meet me by the cherry blossom tree on the hill that's visible from your room, okay?' I texted and before I forgot I added, 'Oh, and no buts alright!'
'Wimp =.='
I realized it would take me about 20 minutes to the institute so I dashed to the opposite direction.

"I can't run anymore," I said in between pants, placing my hands on my knees as I tried to catch my breath. Once I reached the hill I started to walk up to the top and the sight that I stumbled upon took my breath away. Just a few feet away from me under the tree was the silhouette of my beloved, covered by a baby blue sheet. As I quietly got closer I was able to see the position he was in, Wolf hugging his knees to his chest while his chin rested on his knees. I slowly sneaked behind him and squatted down to encircle him in my arms. He stiffened but as soon as I began to speak he relaxed in my embrace. "Sorry I took so long."
'It's fine,' he signed.
"I wanted to see you so badly tonight," I whispered as I slowly pressed my lips to his neck. I knew he wasn't expecting it because his body somewhat tensed up again. He turned slightly to face me and a small shy smile was now visible on his beautiful face; his cheeks flushed. At that moment, I remembered what Carl had said earlier and I chuckled, "One of my teammates would like to meet the person that has changed my life," I said, getting a questioning look from him and I just nodded. "Yup! It's true."
'Really?'
"U-huh."
'Oh' he replied and I pouted at his response.
"I thought you would be a bit happier," I said, a bit put out.
He shook his head and replied, 'Not that, I'm glad he wants meet me, but'
"Hey, if it's because you're worried about being accepted then don't. I don't care if people or my teammates or even classmates would disapprove. That's their business not ours." As I said this I embraced him even tighter. "All I know is that I want you and you alone." Then I pecked his cheek.
'Pretty, isn't it,' he said as he faced forward. I followed his gaze and realized that yeah, he was right; the sky was really beautiful tonight. The dark sky made some of the stars twinkle even more as the brightness of the moon highlighted Wolf's figure with such grace. The calmness of the night—the serenity—was all that was needed at that moment to accompany us. Just Wolf and I. No Gwendal, no classmates, no friends; just the one person I love.
"Yeah, beautiful." I replied and Wolf cuddled even more into my chest. I glanced down to see those emerald eyes close slowly and I gently started caressing his golden hair with my hand. At my movement those deep pools of green opened once more; a twinkle appeared in them as he smiled at me. My heat skipped a beat and I bent down to capture those sweet petal lips, shifting the angle of my head so our mouths could connect, our kiss going from soft to passionate. Kissing him made me all giddy inside and I felt the butterflies inside my stomach do summersaults—over and over again.
As our kiss deepened, our warm tongues entwined and we pressed our lips together; our hearts beating faster and faster—in sync as one—we passionately savored each other's breath. When we parted I felt my face flush and I tried to remember how to breathe again. I looked down at him and saw his lips somewhat swollen, a dash of pink adorning his cheeks.
"Wolf," I whispered, bending down again and aiming for his neck; he extended his head, giving more access, "what would I do without you?" I began to nip and suck the neck that tasted like sweet honey to me. I savored that taste of his, and felt one of his hands run through my hair.
'Mmmhhhmmm' was the vibrating sound coming from deep inside his throat.
At that moment an urge came from deep inside me to take him then and there, but I quickly got a hold of myself when I realized that I had marked my beloved as mine and that was enough, at least for now. I kind of felt a sense of possessiveness at that moment. "Wolf, I-I…" I stuttered a bit nervously and those emeralds that at some point had closed yet again slowly opened and glanced at me; his eyes shimmering as if in a daze and I kissed his head. "Come to one of my practices, okay?" I decided to ask of him instead, and he nodded in agreement. I couldn't tell him, I couldn't say how much I loved him, but that made me ask the one thing that was of importance at that moment. "Wolf, teach me to sign as soon as possible. I need to learn."
'Okay.' He replied and snuggled onto me once more, pressing himself on my chest. Once comfortable, he extended his right hand as the sheet that was covering him slightly slid to the side and pointed to the moon, 'M-o-o-n' he finger spelled to me slowly, since that was the one thing I got good at after a while of practice, 'sign, moon'
'S-k-y, sign sky,' he would sign and I would follow; at that moment, it was just Wolf and I signing; teacher and student, and I wouldn't have had it any other way…
'N-i-g-h-t, Night'
'S-o-c-c-e-r, soccer'
'S-o-c-c-e-r p-l-a-y-e-r, soccer player'
'W-i-m-p, wimp1,'
"Hey!" I replied after I realized what it meant and a smile appeared on his face. I pouted. "Not funny." I placed my chin on his shoulder and as I look straight ahead I questioned, "How about beautiful?"
'B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l?'
"U-huh"
'B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l, beautiful'
"Beautiful Wolfram… my beautiful Wolfram," I whispered and I embraced him tightly after I signed it. During those few minutes we had left together for that night we just cuddled and continued signing, and I tried to memorize as much as I could. Maybe the journey Wolf and I were taking wasn't the easiest one, but hell, it was worth fighting for.
