One word, Hirogo. Hi. Ro. Go. HIROGO!

AND THAT I STILL DON'T OWN ANYTHING!

Honey Lemon knows my secret. How would she know my secret? Was I obvious even before today? Hopefully not. Like what she said, if she wasn't a girl, then she wouldn't know that I am one too. Dumb period. Why did it have to come now?! I walked over to the mirror and patted my hair down. Despite the leak in my pants, there was no other problem.

Cramps. No. There is another problem! It was now lunch break and I had my head on the table and I was hugging my lower abdomen tightly. Why now?!

"Hey, you okay?" Hiro asked as he put a hand on my shoulder

I nodded weakly, "Yeah." I bit my lip, "I'm fine."

"You know, Tadashi can help you. He built a robotic nurse that will scan your injuries and find a cure." He stated

Scan my injuries?

"No!" I brought my head up and forced a smile, "I'm good, see?"

Hiro shook his head then laughed. He got up and went over to the line next to the others. I groaned again as soon as he was out of sight.

"You want a cure? Go eat. It cures almost anything." I looked up again and saw Tadashi and Honey Lemon

Why are these two always together?

Honey Lemon nudged him and he gave her a questioning look.

I sighed, "I'm fine, really guys."

Tadashi nodded and went to the line. Honey Lemon shook her head and threw a small object at me.

"Why are you giving me pain killers?" I asked

"Because I'm a girl too. I know how painful that feels." She whispered, "The pain would be removed in a little while. Don't take it with very cold water, and after lunch is your lab, right?"

I nodded.

"There's a bottle in your space, it has warm water. Put it over where it's hurting. It'll help." She smiled at me

"Wow, you weren't this kind when you first talked to me." I murmured

She shrugged, "It's no biggie, though."

Okay so my congenital analgesia gets cured at all the wrong places. Great. I pulled my phone out of my pant pocket and dialed oppa's number. It rang twice then he answered.

"Leiko! I'm in class!" He whispered, "What do you want?!"

"Oh I don't know," I started, "for you to take me home as soon as classes got out!"

"What? Why? Is there something wrong? Is someone bullying you? Tell me, are they hurting you, Leiko?"

"Do you really think someone would want to bully me?" I deadpanned, "No, something's just hurting."

"You're hurt?"

"Uh-huh."

"Your congenital analgesia's being cured then. That's good!"

"No it's not if it's the middle of the day and you have classes!" I snapped

He paused for a while, "Is it that time of month again?"

"Yes."

"So this is the first time you've experienced the pain?"

"Yes." I groaned

"I'm sorry to say this but I can't do anything for that."

I nodded, "I know. And that's the thing. I'm panicking and someone knew my secret!"

"What?! Who knew about it?" He replied

"Just a friend. But I'm kind of sure that she won't tell anyone about it." I sighed

"She? How can another girl be there?" He asked

"She's a worker here." I replied, "Well I need to go now, oppa. They're coming over."

"They? Who's they?"

"My friends. Now bye. Listen to your professor." I whispered then placed my phone on the table

"You feeling better?" Honey Lemon asked as she sat beside me

"I haven't taken it yet but thank you."

"Tadashi?" Hiro peered in his brother's space in their shared room

He hugged a pillow in his arms and threw a blanket over his shoulder.

Tadashi groaned, "Hiro, what are you doing up? It's," he looked to the clock at his right, "it's midnight. You should be sleeping."

"Can I, can I sleep with you tonight?" Hiro whispered

Tadashi raised his brows. Hiro has not asked to sleep with his brother for years so why was he asking this now?

"O...kay. But don't you-." Before he could finish his statement, Hiro was already beside him, lying down, "Hiro, do you need something?"

Hiro shook his head.

"Really?" Tadashi sighed, "Well if you don't have a problem, then-."

"Nii-san?"

Yep. He definitely has a problem.

Tadashi turned to his brother, "Yes, otouto?"

Hiro's lip trembled and his eyes welled-up.

"What? What's the problem?" Tadashi ruffled his brother's hair lightly, "You know that you can tell nii-san everything, right?"

Hiro nodded and wiped his eyes with his blanket.

"I don't think you'll want me to do that when you discover this." Hiro responded

"Hiro, it's fine. Anything, tell me everything you want to tell me."

Hiro nodded and sighed, "Okay. Well, I, um, you know Leiko, right?"

"Of course, how wouldn't I?" Tadashi replied, "Wait, is he bullying you or something?"

"No, he's not. Actually. Well, I, um, I, what would you do if I had a crush on someone?" Hiro asked

"Hiro, that's normal." Tadashi chuckled, "For a second I thought you had a really big problem. It's no worries, Hiro, it's a part of growing up, just don't go home base too quickly, okay?"

Hiro blushed, "Tadashi! That's gross!"

Tadashi laughed, "What? You're bound to do it sometime!"

"Well I can't do that!"

Tadashi furrowed his brows, "What do you mean you can't do that?"

"I'm-. I like a guy, okay?" Hiro glared at thin air, "I like Leiko."

"Come again?"

"I. Like. Leiko!"

It was silent for a minute or two.

"So that's why you get so angry when he and Honey Lemon go home together. Huh." Tadashi stated then shrugged, "Okay."

"You're joking, right?" Hiro squeaked

"I'm not. I'm cool with it." He nodded, "Well, aunt Cass and I were actually betting when you'd come out, because seriously, Hiro, you look like a girl, and you actually shriek like one. Though you should've waited until you were eighteen, so, you know, I'll win the bet."

"What?!" He smacked his older brother's arm, "You were?"

Tadashi laughed, "No, I'm kidding. We weren't. Sure this was... surprising," Hiro flinched, "but it's fine." Tadashi shrugged, "I've always wanted a sister anyway."

"More than a genius brother who gave you the money to replace all of those treats you ate from the cafe?" Hiro smirked

"That was only a hundred dollars!" Tadashi implied

"It's still money." Hiro replied

Tadashi laughed, "Go to sleep knucklehead, your Leiko's going to be waiting for you tomorrow."

Hiro blushed then smirked, "You too, nerd. Your Honey Lemon will be waiting for you too."

Tadashi's face heated up and his face turned a deep red.

"Hey Leiko, I need to ask you something." Hiro started as we walked home

"What is it?" I asked then popped my gum

"It's about Honey." he fiddled with his fingers, "I've noticed that she's been more close to you lately and you've appreciated the company. I, um, are you and Honey dating?"

My eyes widened and I shook my head, "No! No! We're not dating!"

What made him give *8that idea?

Oh wait, I'm a guy right now.

He sighed and smiled, "For a moment there I though you were. But I guess everything's fine." he laughed lightly, "You know, if you were dating Honey, me and my brother have no chance at dating anymore, what with our choices already taken. But then, at least he'd lose a girl from a guy, while I lost to a girl for a guy. It's really funny when you think about i-."

His eyes widened in realization. His face was red in a matter of seconds and he was saying words that meant nothing.

"I mean, right? Did you get my point? Wait, no. I mean that was unintentional and-. Ugh! No. That's not it. What I meant to say was, um, uh."

"I get what you're saying." I interrupted

"Y-You do?" he asked quietly

I looked at the right and blushed lightly, "Yeah."

"You're probably thinking that I'm crazy or something, but I'm not." he sighed, "I didn't plan for this to happen now or ever, actually, but the thing is I like you. I know that you're a guy and I'm a guy and you probably think that this is wrong and everything, but I really really like you and I can't stop my feelings and I can't help but be happy that you're my classmate in everything and I just want to see you everyday and you make me so happy that I don't even understand what's happening to me anymore. I'm confused and all that but I'm clear with one thing." he looked up at me, "Leiko Tomago, I like you a lot and from what Tadashi had told me, I'm probably, no, wait, that'll come out wrong, I think-, know, that I love you, with all of my heart."

"I, wow, Hiro. I'm surprised someone like you could even say those words. They're so... meaningful and, I," I bit my lip, "I may not like you the way you want me to but I appreciate everything. I don't think you're weird or wrong or anything and if I was a girl," which I totally am, "I'd love you back. But we don't know, times can change, and even if I'm a guy, I can love you back." I smiled

He beamed and looked down. I smiled and looked up.

It's official, he likes me. WAIT! Hiro likes me! Hiro likes me!

Just when I was about to continue walking, I felt a hand on my chin that pulled me down and a soft and warm something pressed to my lips. I smiled and closed my eyes and let myself get lost in the kiss.

Hiro I love you so much you don't even know! I'm so proud of you!

Reviews~

Chapter 1

Anon: No, Hiro, Tadashi and aunt Cass are the only main characters who are Japanese. Leiko's of Korean descent.

Anonymous: Yes her name's still Ethel, but that's her english name. Koreans often have english names because some of them have names which are really hard to pronounce but Leiko's better so there.
