Chapter three

Danny's is packed as usual. It's the only restaurant around that teenagers like to go. I looked around. There are sure loads of couples tonight... I scowled.

"Why aren't you eating? I'm almost finished," Kogure nudged my hand as he gestured over my un-touched fish fillet.

"I'm not really hungry," I said and leaned against the seat. "Then what's the point joining me into dining?" Kogure asked, frowning. Of course, he hated wasting. I hesitated to find the right words. "Well, it's not cool to let you come here alone," I said and continued, "and I need some of your advises,"

"Advises? What kind of advises? If it's about basketball, you are way greater than I am,"

He chuckled.

"Kogure- san, what does it feels to love somebody?"

Kogure instantly stop chuckling and looked directly at my face. He cleared his throat and looked inside his drink. "From what I heard and read, loving somebody is when you can't stop thinking about that person and all... it's kinda serious if you ask me," he said and starting to toy the straw around. He sighed.

Love.

My heart skipped a beat when I heard Kogure's short explanation. Love. Is it possible that I'm in love?

"Who's that lucky girl huh?" Kogure asked, his face looked curious and there was some kind of excitement in his voice.

I gulped. The word `girl' doesn't seem to be right. "There's no girl, Kogure-san," I said and felt my cheeks are getting hotter. It's burning my whole face.

Kogure looked a bit shocked by this. But he secretly hid that behind his concerned face. "I never told anyone this, but--² I gulped. "I think I'm gay,"

Kogure looked beyond shock when he heard me. I didn't dare to look at him in the face. "You are? You mean, you have feelings for guys?" Kogure kept his voice low as he asked me. I nodded. "Mitsui-san...I think that's... normal," he said. I titled my head and looked at him, scowling. "Of course it's not normal Kogure! I mean- I have love feelings for the same gender! What were you thinking?" I said harshly and buried my face into my hands.

This is stupid! You know this kind of love is forbidden.

I can never love you, Kogure.

"I never tell this to anyone too, but I'm gay as well," I heard Kogure confess.

I dropped my hands and looked at him. I felt braver to face him after hearing that. "Nani? Really? Seriously?" I asked. Kogure grinned.

"Yeah. Surprised?" he teased and made me smiled. "Kinda. I mean, I thought you're the pure- kind and all,"

Kogure laughed and blushed.

"When it comes to love Mitsui, it's always pure. Love is great, haven't you noticed it?"

"I've just noticed it, Kogure-san,"

"Kimi"

"Nani?"

"Call me Kimi from now on,"

He smiled and brought warmth into my body.

"In that case, call me Hisashi, Kimi."

"Hai, Hisashi."

I blushed furiously.

There were no further explanations from this very moment. Both of us just stared into each other's eyes because the answers were already there.

Of course, Kimi did made me noticed that love is always there. Love is a form of power.

*Sigh. You know, Devil Mitsui- I couldn't argue with you on this. He looks happy now with Kimi-san. Sigh*

*Sigh. I'm afraid so Angel Mitsui. Oh! Oh, Kimi-san is inviting him to his apartment now! Kimi-san lives alone isn't he? This should be really fun! Teeheehee!*

*NANI? But what about the homework? The teacher will have a fit if he neglects em! And the due is on tomorrow!*

*Groan. Do me a favour will you?*

*What?*

*Just shut up*

OWARI-

**

Sakuragi: NANI??? The end? Just like that?? It's all about that Hissy and megane! What about the tensai??

Well, yeah. But remember this is just the first part. The second part will be up and it's gonna be more... `dramatic'. I'm pretty sure you will be in the second part, Hanamichi--

Sakuragi: Really? Nyahahahahahah! The Tensai always rules! And Rukawa will just be the minor part! Nyahahahahahah! Ore wa Tensaaaai!

--and Rukawa plays a big part as well... anyway, yes, there's gonna be more Mitsui and Kogure in the second part! Bless them *sighs*
