Hizaki stepped out of Kamijo's bedroom during the afternoon, sighing softly. Though he understood Rubi's situation, he wished the mortal had never left the oldest vampire. He didn't know how he was supposed to feel right now. Before all of this had happened, he had been so sweet and caring toward everyone. He was the one who always knew what to do. Now, he was probably the most confused one. He didn't know if he should be glad that Kamijo was available now, or if he should try to convince Rubi to go back to Kamijo. Walking down the hall, Hizaki approached Teru's bedroom. Maybe a chat with the friend he trusted the most would help him. He gave the door a couple soft knocks before opening it."Teru?" the beautiful vampire spoke softly. He spotted Teru sitting on his bed, seeming to be deep in thought about something."Teru." Hizaki said the others name again to get his attention.

Teru looked up at Hizaki."Hizaki?" He'd been completely unaware that the other was there until his name was spoken a second time."I didn't notice you come in. I was thinking about something." he said with a smile.

"I could tell." Hizaki stepped over and sat next to the younger vampire."You looked kind of funny because I'm not used to seeing you so deep in thought like that." he commented with a small chuckle.

Teru pouted cutely."I looked funny?" He gave Hizaki's shoulder a gentle push."Meanie." Then, he giggled, knowing the other was just joking."Do you want to talk about something?" he wondered."You don't normally show up in my room, unless you have something that's bothering you."

"Yeah, but.." Hizaki sighed softly."It's important, and I'm not sure how to say it. The only way I can think to say it would be a flat statement." He lowered his gaze for a moment before turning his sight back to Teru."I trust you more than anyone else, Teru. So I'm going to tell you something, but you can't tell anyone else. Okay?"

"Ooh, a secret?" That definitely got Teru interested. He loved knowing other people's secrets."I won't tell anyone, not even Cook."

The pretty male chuckled lightly at Teru's excitement then placed his hand atop the others head to calm him."Pay attention. This is very important." He waited a moment to make sure Teru was calm and paying attention."Teru...I'm in love with Kamijo."

"What?" Teru nearly shouted, being surprised by this fact."You're in love with Kamijo?"

Hizaki quickly covered Teru's mouth with both of his hands."Quiet, Teru!" He sighed, waited for a short moment, then removed his hands from the others mouth."You can't tell anyone. Understand?"

The youngest vampire gave a small nod."Yeah, okay. Have you told Kamijo that you love him?" Teru watched Hizaki shake his head then lower his gaze."Why not?"

"Kamijo still wants Rubi." Hizaki stated factually."Besides, Kamijo only thinks of me as a sort big sister or mother. He said so." He became a bit teary-eyed.

Teru stood and crossed his arms over his chest loosely."So?" He put on a determined expression."You're not going to give up, are you?"

Hizaki looked up at Teru."What else am I supposed to do?" His voice quivered a little as if he was about to cry.

"You love him, right?" Teru asked, receiving a nod."You know what you need to do?" He didn't even give Hizaki a chance to answer this time."If he doesn't want you, that means you just need to try harder." He uncrossed his arms and extended a hand toward Hizaki to help him up."Come on."

The pretty vampire gently grabbed Teru's hand then stood."I love you, Teru." he told the other, sniffling a little."You're a great friend." Hizaki put his arms around Teru and hugged him."But you stole my lines."

~X~

Teru and Hizaki went to the pretty one's bedroom to decide on what should be done to prepare Hizaki for the act of confessing his feelings to Kamijo. However, as soon as they stepped into the room, Teru went straight to Hizaki's closet."Let's dress up!" he said cheerfully. He opened the closet and began sifting through the others many dresses."I love your dresses, Hizaki! They're all so pretty!"

Hizaki sighed and crossed his arms."You're supposed to be helping me, Teru." he said with a small whine in his tone.

"I am helping." Teru said while pulling out a few gowns.

"How is dressing up going to help me?" The beautiful one sighed again then stepped over to Teru.

Teru turned to Hizaki and giggled."Well, we need to decide which dress you're going to where when you confess. Besides, dressing up always makes you happy. You need to be happy when you confess. That way, if he turns you down, it might not seem as bad."

Hizaki smiled a little."You've got a point." He grabbed one of the dresses Teru was holding."If I don't want to wear any of my dresses for that, you can be my model so I can make a new dress."

"Noo." Teru whined."I can't stand still for that long." His whine earned a giggle from Hizaki. They both stripped off their clothes and began putting on dresses. Teru loved to put on Hizaki's dresses because he loved how flowy they were. Once he got on a long, elegant dress, he twirled around and giggled cutely."Look, Hizaki! I'm a princess!" he joked.

"You can't be a princess, Teru." Hizaki stated as he fixed his own dress."You're too dorky." He glanced down at the dress he was wearing then turned his gaze back to Teru."How about this one?" he asked.

Teru eyed Hizaki's dress then shook his head."No. I don't think that's the right one." They both took off the dresses then put on different ones.

"So, if I'm dressing up to find the right dress, why are you dressing up?" Hizaki wondered.

The younger one shrugged his shoulders a little."No reason. I just like your dresses."

Hizaki smiled at Teru."Okay, I guess that's fine." Then, he had a question."So, Teru..What were you thinking about earlier? It seemed important."

Teru knew it would be okay to tell Hizaki because he trusted him so much."Well..I want to have sex with Masashi." he stated honestly.

"What?" Hizaki was taken a bit by surprise."I didn't know your childish mind could think about things like that." he said a bit jokingly. He tilted his head just a little to the side."So that's what you were thinking about?" He got a nod in response."Why were you thinking about it so hard? Is there a problem?"

The younger one shook his head and smiled."No. There's no problem. I was just thinking about it so hard because I want it, but I'm a bit embarrassed and nervous about it. But it's okay."

"Oh, okay." Hizaki was about to say something else, but he stopped when Teru moved behind him."What are you doing?"

Teru reached over Hizaki's shoulders, sticking his hands down the front of the others dress. He balled his hands into loose fists, making two lumps."Look, Hizaki! Boobs!" Pulling one hand out, he turned his hand a bit to lay his index finger along Hizaki's eyebrows."Unibrow!" Then, he paused." Aw man. Now I wish I had three hands."

Hizaki was a little confused."Why? Isn't two enough?"

"Well, if I have my hand up here to give you a unibrow, you can only have one boob." Teru answered."You're deformed."

Unable to contain it, Hizaki burst into laughter."Teru, you are too funny!"

Teru smiled widely, happy that he could change the topic of their conversation. Though, he was even happier at the fact that he had made his best friend laugh. Retracting both of his hands, he got down on his knees behind Hizaki, slipped his hands up the pretty male's dress and pulled back a little."Now you have a big butt!" Teru was pleased when Hizaki laughed more.
