You wouldn't believe it….. I am actually enjoying the new computer chair we bought last night…. What relevance it has to the story don't ask me… but as for the story pls read on and R&R
~*~
//So am I straight… bisexual… or gay? Man… never did I actually think that I'd be doubting my sexuality… you see this is the number one reason why you should never hang around with stupid kitsunes!// and with that he unlocked the door and stepped into the house. He automatically closed the door and slipped off his shoes and headed straight for the kitchen. //All that thinking really can work up an appetite… hmm… lemme see what there is too eat// and he finally settled on a bag of Lay's potato chips. He entered the living room and it was only then that he realized that he wasn't alone.
They had watched their friend go about things as he usually did when he came home. They sat there quietly as observers… each too afraid to break the silence and bring up the topic. They stared at him at the entrance of the living room not knowing what to expect and once again silence filled the house.
The silence was deafening. He looked at his friends not knowing what to do.
FLASHBACK
He got up and before leaving his two friends alone he muttered softly but icily "I am not gay… I know two people who are… but I am not… and I was just asking because I felt a bit awkward when I was with them. I thought that y'all could help me… but obviously teasing me seemed to appeal to you more. Thanks for the food… oh, and thanks a whole lot for the help" and with that he turned his back on two of the most important people in his life.
END OF FLASHBACK
The chip resting in his mouth lay forgotten as he stared at his friends… they had always been there for him… and how does he repay them? By being a bastard and ditching them just because he was confused. As he went through all the events that had taken place he finally realized that today had been one of those exceptional days. Its not everyday that Sakuragi readily talks to that stupid smiley Ryonan player… its not everyday that Sakuragi finds solace in one of his rivals… its not everyday that Sakuragi starts doubting his sexuality… its not everyday that Sakuragi hurts and walks out on those closest to him… and finally its not everyday that Sakuragi only eats one bowl of ramen noodles when someone else is paying for the meal. (F5C sweatdrops)
The silence enveloping the household stretched into minutes which seemed to drag on and on… playing with the nerves of the people in the room… making them more nervous and piling on the anxiety by the tonne… only making them readily retreat into their safe hideaway within themselves.
"So what if I told you that I may be gay? How would you react to that?" Hanamichi finally said breaking the intense silence.
"Nani?" and with that the three occupants shot off their seats and stared wide eyed at the red head in front of him.
"Oi… Sakuragi, when we were teasing you we didn't mean it… we were just teasing you that's all… that doesn't mean you're gay" Yohei stammered out.
"So does that mean that me being gay may actually affect you and our friendship? Does that mean that you wouldn't approve of me if I was gay?"
Yohei stared at his best friend in front of him who was still rooted at the entrance of the room. Seriousness and confusion played across his facial features //What the hell happened when he left the restaurant?//
"No… that's not what I mean"
"What Yohei meant… was just that we teased you about it doesn't mean that you are gay" answered Sam nervously, confused by the sudden change in the red head.
"You still haven't answered my question… would it bother you?"
"As I said in the shop… I don't care if you are gay or straight… but you will still be my best friend" Yohei said firmly staring straight into the red head's eyes trying to show him the truth and sincerity behind the words he had just spoken.
Hanamichi stared into those deep depths which seemed to be pushing at him. Sincerity was clearly written in those eyes as well as portrayed through those words. Finally after what seemed like an eternity but in reality was about 10 seconds a wide smile spread itself across Hanamichi's face. Before Hanamichi knew what was happening a sobbing Samantha lay in his arms, arms latched around his neck and wet tears streaming from her beautiful green eyes.
"S-Sam daijobou?"
"Its kind of obvious that she isn't alright baka!"
"Oi Yohei! How dare you call the Tensai a baka?" and with that he jerked upright lunging for his friend and totally forgetting about the girl in his arms.
Sam was too stunned to react to the loss of her support that she immediately toppled over bringing the raging red head along with her. The ended up in a bundle on the floor with the red head on top of her and in a rather compromising position.
"I agree… you most probably are gay… after all you don't seem to be reacting to the position we are in"
"N-nani?" and finally when he comprehended their positions he bounced off her blushing furiously leaving Sam giggling loudly on the floor.
"Man… you really are the first guy I've known who hasn't reacted to her in a more… err… physical manner" Max piped in.
"B-but I didn't mean it… I mean… I would never do anything to her… err… gomen Sam"
Both she and Yohei were still laughing their hearts out to say anything to their blushing and stammering friend.
"So what's this about you being gay?"
"Err… I'm not sure yet… it's just that I was thinking about it and I think I may not be as straight as I thought… I mean I had a talk with Smiley and…"
"Smiley as in Sendoh?" inquired Yohei
"Yeah… him"
"Why him?"
"Well since he's gay I thought he'd understand better"
"Nani? Sendoh is gay?"
"I don't think I was suppose to tell you that"
"Oh so that was the guy you were talking about during dinner" added Sam thoughtfully "So who is his partner?"
"Rukawa" he answered automatically and finally on realizing what he had just said he blushed even more "Err… I don't think I was suppose to tell y'all that as well" he piped in scratching his head sheepishly and looking at his three friends who now stood staring at him with their jaws touching the floor.
"Rukawa is gay?" Sam asked uncertainly
"Uh… yeah!" he answered meekly.
"Oh mi god! Sendoh really is a Hentai!" voiced Yohei.
"Yohei no baka! Are you trying to say that being gay makes you a hentai?" whilst approaching his friend seriously.
"Err… no that's not what I meant… I- I …" but he didn't get to complete his statement as he lay on the floor with a steaming bump on his head in the next instant.
Finally all the intensity and doubts which had earlier filled the room and house had soon dissipated as the four of them sat down and talked. Affection replaced the doubts… affection that is shared amongst friends… the type that you will never be able to buy… the type you have with those closest to you. They sat in the living room chatting and discussing Hanamichi's sexuality. It may not have been the most usual topic for a conversation but after his outburst in the restaurant Yohei and Sam realized that they really had to help him… and so there they were… helping him out… trying to help him figure out what he was… as that's what real friends do for each other… they stand by you no matter what.
~*~
"Ne Kitsune? One-on-one?"
"Hn…"
Sakuragi was as usual his normal loud self. Anyone who knew him wouldn't have guessed that at that point he was undergoing a small identity crisis. The only ones who knew happened to be Yohei, Max, Sam, Sendoh and Rukawa who still was having a hard time believing that the loud red head was confused. He seemed so 'normal' so like himself… so Tensai like.
Yohei, Max and Sam on the other hand knew otherwise… they saw the stress lines which were finding their way onto the red head's young face… they witnessed his loss of appetite… they knew about the sleepless nights that he was now experiencing… they saw the confusion that lay in his eyes. Everybody thought that Sakuragi was an open book… one that never hid anything from the world… how wrong they are. He was no where close to an open book. He acted normally for acceptance and so as to not worry everyone else… typical Sakuragi… always worrying about others. It was an unwritten fact amongst the three of them… they had already concluded from that night that their friend was most probably gay… and they too knew that he most probably knew it as well… however they never again broached the topic about his sexuality. They knew that just because you have the feeling that you are gay it doesn't necessarily mean that you like it. They knew that the red head would come to them if he needed help… but right now… he had to figure this out by himself… he had to come to terms with his sexuality… and that could only be done by him. No matter how much they wanted to help him out… they knew they shouldn't… he had to do this by himself… so until then they'll just be there for him… loaning him a shoulder whenever he needs one.
"Ch… Kitsune you cheated!" the red head yelled after Rukawa did a dunk and won the match.
"…"
"That's not fair… that was a foul… you cheated!"
"Actually that was not a foul… it was a very legal move… admit it you got stumped by the fox!"
"Max! You are suppose to be my friend not his… and I don't care… he cheated! He most probably bribed you to side him… ne? That's what he did isn't it? You can tell me… come tell me… tell me!" approaching Max with a certain gleam in his brown eyes.
"D'aho"
"Nani? Teme Kitsune! The Tensai will beat you!"
"You are deluded!"
"Nani? Kitsune!" and with that Sakuragi hurled the ball in his hand towards the raven haired boy.
Rukawa stopped dead in his tracks as he was suddenly flooded with dizziness. There at his feet lay the seemingly innocent orange ball. Slowly the haze lifted and he bent down and carefully lifted the ball…
//I can't believe that that stupid Kitsune beat me! He cheated! How can he beat the Tensai? I am better than that stupid…// *Thud* He lay there lips kissing the floor for a few seconds and finally on realizing what happened he lost all his control. "Teme KITSUNE!"
Max, Sam and Yohei stood rooted to their positions watching the on going brawl. It had been a while since those two had gotten into a fight and well now they were stunned by the suddenness of it. Yohei came to his senses the fastest and immediately stepped in trying to separate both the boys. After a lot of work and help from the other two… they managed to separate the two boys.
"Hmph! Stupid Kitsune!" and with that Hanamichi entered to locker room.
"D'aho"
"Ano Rukawa… I don't think you should go in there now… let him cool off"
"Do you think you can do that? Cause the three of us have a movie to catch and we really got to leave or will be late" Sam stated
"Hn…"
"I shall take that as a yes" and with that the two boys left Rukawa followed by a hyperactive Sam.
~*~
Rukawa entered the locker room an hour later//Stupid d'aho… I'll now be late for that match…// Not looking where he was going… he successfully collided into a hard brick wall… or so that was what he thought it was. On looking up… his eyes landed on a relatively dizzy red head.
"Stupid Kitsune! You should watch where you go… and not sleep while you walk! Baka Kitsune!"
"D'aho"
"Whatever!"
That caught his attention as he immediately looked at the red head to see why he hadn't retorted.
"Kitsune! Wanna come over to my place?"
To this he cocked his eyebrow.
"The Lakers versus the Bulls are taking place in half an hour… if you hurry we can catch it…"
"Why your place?"
"Fine! Then we can go to your place… I don't care! It's just that Sam and Max have gone for a movie so I thought we could watch the match together… I don't care!"
"Hn…"
"I'll wait for you outside"
Rukawa just walked past the red head.
Hanamichi walked out of the locker room glad that he finally asked the stupid kitsune. Usually he watches the matches with Max… and he didn't seem to be in the mood to watch it alone… it was more fun when you watch it with your team mates. His thoughts drifted back to when he was in US… the team use to have barbecues during the last few matches of the season and they'd watch it together at Max's house on his big screen… it was a whole lot of fun. But Max had forgotten about the match and promised to go watch a movie. //That idiot! Because of him I am going to be stuck under the same roof with a dumb fox!//
Rukawa stepped out of the locker room only to be greeted with the sight of a rather irritated red head//Wait a second… is he growling? What the hell? He is growling!// If it hadn't been for the image that he had to maintain, Rukawa would have burst out laughing at the sight of the red head growling. //Kawai//
"D'aho"
"Teme! Kitsune!"
"Hey there you two… relax!"
Sendoh walked into the gym, trying to separate the two bickering boys before they earned some bruises. //I wonder if he has figured it out yet// eyeing the red head in front of him suspiciously while casually snaking his arm around the other boy's slim waist and pulling him closer to him. Rukawa eagerly obliged him by relaxing against his bodyframe… pressing himself up close to his body. Sendoh nuzzled his neck whilst hugging his body even closer. Rukawa let his head fall backwards giving his partner more access to the pale strip of skin. Still nuzzling his neck, he lifted his eyes and observed a certain red head that stood in front of them… wide eyed and seemingly innocent to his situation.
Hanamichi was rooted to his position… this had been just like the other night… only less graphic. He felt a hot gaze combing his body and on snapping back to reality, he was met with a pair of smoldering blue eyes regarding him through half shut eyelids. They were glazed over with an expression that Hanamichi wasn't able to pinpoint. However the feel of that glaze settling on his body had the hairs on his neck springing up to life… that wasn't the only thing that came alive within him… In the pits of his stomach a hot squelchy feeling was starting to bubble to the surface… warmth seeped through his entire body, enveloping him in a cocoon of heat. Never did the smoldering gaze leave his body… on the other hand they seemed to be forcing themselves on him. He remained there regarding the two guys in front of him unsure of how to react to the on going scene. Rukawa's long elegant neck was now fully exposed and as for Sendoh he lazily laid wet kisses and hickeys along the whole column, never once breaking eye contact.
Rukawa felt his control shatter as he was engulfed in a thick haze of ecstasy. He felt the wetness along his now hot body. Ever so often his lover blew over the wetness thus plunging him even deeper into that haze. He had to admit that Sendoh was a very skilled lover… he knew exactly what to do and when to do it. He knew exactly where Rukawa's soft spots were and now he circled around it… licking, sucking, blowing, teasing… but never giving it full attention. He was beyond redemption… the haze was too thick… it was too much… he needed it.
Sendoh loved the way he could play with the boy in his arms… whenever it came to sex or even foreplay for that matter… he was so open… not like the ice king which he was more commonly referred to as. Sendoh loved the way he always was victorious when it came down to breaking his defenses… he knew that Rukawa blamed his own so called 'raging' hormones but he knew better… he knew that the boy loved what was happening. Sendoh couldn't help but smile as the boy squirmed in his hold trying to get more //Not until you ask Kaede… Say it! Just say it and you'll get it// Then he heard it.
"Onegai!"
Hanamichi heard the low desperate moan… and even though it was a soft husky whisper… it rang aloud in his ears. The huskiness… the need… the desperation… the ecstasy. It was all there in that moan… and that moan had been elicited by he who had no expression. Sendoh grinned evilly on hearing the request and still maintaining eye contact, he tilted his head ever so slightly then his tongue darted out jabbing a distinct spot. Hanamichi's eyes widened even more as the fox eyed boy threw his head back violently, now completely leaning against Sendoh as his knees had given way. All of a sudden, gravity seemed to be working overtime. He felt the blood pounding in his ears and at the same time he felt the surge of blood gushing its way southwards and pooling at a certain area. The squelching heat at the pit of his stomach was now boiling mercilessly at the surface… He was hot! Oh so hot! Small beads of perspiration appeared on his brow. A small gust of wind finding its way in the gym brushed across the beads… merging with them… in a vain attempt of cooling his now hot body. The contrary happened, as the sudden coolness prodded at something which had been lying relatively dormant for that whole period. Something primal… and now it unleashed itself.
The haze was now at it's epitome of thickness… no longer were rational thoughts running through him… heat and blood gushed about him enveloping him in his own utopia. Each wet jab lifted him a level higher until he was now limp with pleasure… no more resisting the attack. He then heard it… it pushed at him… it was nudging at him continuously… stubborn to stop… stubborn to leave him be… stubborn to let him drown in ecstasy. Grudgingly he paid heed to his newly awakened sense and lifted his heavy lids. Through the small gap he tried to focus on the problem and as he detected nothing amiss he allowed himself to plunge back down into his utopia. The nudging was back… now more persistent then before. His lids snapped open… and as light flooded him he focused on a certain obscure figure in front of him. The moan resounded through the whole gym and for a second all was still. His other senses slowly started functioning //Red… Shit red! It can't be!// He willed his eyes to work and on perceiving the red head watching them and moaning in pleasure he shoved himself away from Sendoh.
Sendoh perceived the red head in front of him in a totally new light… even with a moan such as that he stilled managed to look innocent//What was it? Oh yes! 'Seemingly innocent'// He stumbled a few steps backwards as the boy in his arms suddenly shoved at him. His head automatically snapped to regard him and there he was blessed with a deadly icy glare.
Eye contact had been terminated and as the pounding of the blood through his body slowly resided consciousness started to gnaw at him. He saw the glare that Rukawa shot the spiky haired guy. Rukawa suddenly seemed to be so expressive… now… all of a sudden… there right in front of him… the pale boy's face reflected anger, disgust, shame, hurt. All these three emotions mingled with the still present desire and sexuality thus making him look devilishly gorgeous. Rukawa seemed powerless… at a loss… not in control of the situation… but at the same time he irradiated raw anger. Powerless but still so… so powerful. Hanamichi regarded the other boy with a glance and at that moment he thought he saw pain flash through his eyes. No… he was sure of it… it had been there… even if it was only for a nanosecond it had still been there. It had polluted the happy boy's face… that hurt looked so out of place… it was an intruder… one that should never have flashed across his face.
"Sendoh daijobou?"
Rukawa blinked in surprise and a few seconds later in hurt. The tenderness with which the red head regarded his lover with struck a chord in him… all the pent up emotions… all the secrets… all the lies… flooding him in that one instant that the red head tenderly inquired about his lover.
Sendoh looked at the red head and smiled slightly //Is this why he is so desirable? His innocence? His thoughtfulness? His… his… simplicity? Is this why Kaede loves him so much? Is this why Kaede dreams about him night after night while he lies sated in my arms? His red winged angel… Kaede… why?// He looked towards his lover and his eyes widened in surprise.
Hanamichi blinked in fear as he suddenly saw Sendoh's eyes widen in surprise //What the hell is wrong with Smiley? Is he hurt? No… he doesn't seem to be hurt… then what the hell is it?// he followed his gaze and it landed on the fox eyed boy. //What the hell?//
"Kitsune dai-daijobou?"
Greeted with no answer he just kept on darting glances back and forth between the two boys. He was an intruder… he was the unwanted spectator. The intensity between the two boys was palpable and with every additional second he stood there… the increasingly unsure he became… the more confused… the more lost… the more left out. As he realized… he was the intruder here… he should not be seeing these emotions play across their faces… he wasn't suppose witness that earlier on. He was suppose to be at home watching the game and munching on a bowl of chips… he was suppose to be relaxing… he wasn't suppose to find out about their hidden sides… and worst of all… he had no right sharing the intimacy which they felt. He was the intruder… these emotions are only meant for each other and not him… he was the unwanted spectator… he was the MISTAKE. Wordlessly, he grabbed his bag and walked out of the gym.

Rukawa entered the locker room an hour later//Stupid d'aho… I'll now be late for that match…// Not looking where he was going… he successfully collided into a hard brick wall… or so that was what he thought it was. On looking up… his eyes landed on a relatively dizzy red head.
"Stupid Kitsune! You should watch where you go… and not sleep while you walk! Baka Kitsune!"
"D'aho"
"Whatever!"
That caught his attention as he immediately looked at the red head to see why he hadn't retorted.
"Kitsune! Wanna come over to my place?"
To this he cocked his eyebrow.
"The Lakers versus the Bulls are taking place in half an hour… if you hurry we can catch it…"
"Why your place?"
"Fine! Then we can go to your place… I don't care! It's just that Sam and Max have gone for a movie so I thought we could watch the match together… I don't care!"
"Hn…"
"I'll wait for you outside"
Rukawa just walked past the red head.
Hanamichi walked out of the locker room glad that he finally asked the stupid kitsune. Usually he watches the matches with Max… and he didn't seem to be in the mood to watch it alone… it was more fun when you watch it with your team mates. His thoughts drifted back to when he was in US… the team use to have barbecues during the last few matches of the season and they'd watch it together at Max's house on his big screen… it was a whole lot of fun. But Max had forgotten about the match and promised to go watch a movie. //That idiot! Because of him I am going to be stuck under the same roof with a dumb fox!//
Rukawa stepped out of the locker room only to be greeted with the sight of a rather irritated red head//Wait a second… is he growling? What the hell? He is growling!// If it hadn't been for the image that he had to maintain, Rukawa would have burst out laughing at the sight of the red head growling. //Kawai//
"D'aho"
"Teme! Kitsune!"
"Hey there you two… relax!"
Sendoh walked into the gym, trying to separate the two bickering boys before they earned some bruises. //I wonder if he has figured it out yet// eyeing the red head in front of him suspiciously while casually snaking his arm around the other boy's slim waist and pulling him closer to him. Rukawa eagerly obliged him by relaxing against his bodyframe… pressing himself up close to his body. Sendoh nuzzled his neck whilst hugging his body even closer. Rukawa let his head fall backwards giving his partner more access to the pale strip of skin. Still nuzzling his neck, he lifted his eyes and observed a certain red head that stood in front of them… wide eyed and seemingly innocent to his situation.
Hanamichi was rooted to his position… this had been just like the other night… only less graphic. He felt a hot gaze combing his body and on snapping back to reality, he was met with a pair of smoldering blue eyes regarding him through half shut eyelids. They were glazed over with an expression that Hanamichi wasn't able to pinpoint. However the feel of that glaze settling on his body had the hairs on his neck springing up to life… that wasn't the only thing that came alive within him… In the pits of his stomach a hot squelchy feeling was starting to bubble to the surface… warmth seeped through his entire body, enveloping him in a cocoon of heat. Never did the smoldering gaze leave his body… on the other hand they seemed to be forcing themselves on him. He remained there regarding the two guys in front of him unsure of how to react to the on going scene. Rukawa's long elegant neck was now fully exposed and as for Sendoh he lazily laid wet kisses and hickeys along the whole column, never once breaking eye contact.
Rukawa felt his control shatter as he was engulfed in a thick haze of ecstasy. He felt the wetness along his now hot body. Ever so often his lover blew over the wetness thus plunging him even deeper into that haze. He had to admit that Sendoh was a very skilled lover… he knew exactly what to do and when to do it. He knew exactly where Rukawa's soft spots were and now he circled around it… licking, sucking, blowing, teasing… but never giving it full attention. He was beyond redemption… the haze was too thick… it was too much… he needed it.
Sendoh loved the way he could play with the boy in his arms… whenever it came to sex or even foreplay for that matter… he was so open… not like the ice king which he was more commonly referred to as. Sendoh loved the way he always was victorious when it came down to breaking his defenses… he knew that Rukawa blamed his own so called 'raging' hormones but he knew better… he knew that the boy loved what was happening. Sendoh couldn't help but smile as the boy squirmed in his hold trying to get more //Not until you ask Kaede… Say it! Just say it and you'll get it// Then he heard it.
"Onegai!"
Hanamichi heard the low desperate moan… and even though it was a soft husky whisper… it rang aloud in his ears. The huskiness… the need… the desperation… the ecstasy. It was all there in that moan… and that moan had been elicited by he who had no expression. Sendoh grinned evilly on hearing the request and still maintaining eye contact, he tilted his head ever so slightly then his tongue darted out jabbing a distinct spot. Hanamichi's eyes widened even more as the fox eyed boy threw his head back violently, now completely leaning against Sendoh as his knees had given way. All of a sudden, gravity seemed to be working overtime. He felt the blood pounding in his ears and at the same time he felt the surge of blood gushing its way southwards and pooling at a certain area. The squelching heat at the pit of his stomach was now boiling mercilessly at the surface… He was hot! Oh so hot! Small beads of perspiration appeared on his brow. A small gust of wind finding its way in the gym brushed across the beads… merging with them… in a vain attempt of cooling his now hot body. The contrary happened, as the sudden coolness prodded at something which had been lying relatively dormant for that whole period. Something primal… and now it unleashed itself.
The haze was now at it's epitome of thickness… no longer were rational thoughts running through him… heat and blood gushed about him enveloping him in his own utopia. Each wet jab lifted him a level higher until he was now limp with pleasure… no more resisting the attack. He then heard it… it pushed at him… it was nudging at him continuously… stubborn to stop… stubborn to leave him be… stubborn to let him drown in ecstasy. Grudgingly he paid heed to his newly awakened sense and lifted his heavy lids. Through the small gap he tried to focus on the problem and as he detected nothing amiss he allowed himself to plunge back down into his utopia. The nudging was back… now more persistent then before. His lids snapped open… and as light flooded him he focused on a certain obscure figure in front of him. The moan resounded through the whole gym and for a second all was still. His other senses slowly started functioning //Red… Shit red! It can't be!// He willed his eyes to work and on perceiving the red head watching them and moaning in pleasure he shoved himself away from Sendoh.
Sendoh perceived the red head in front of him in a totally new light… even with a moan such as that he stilled managed to look innocent//What was it? Oh yes! 'Seemingly innocent'// He stumbled a few steps backwards as the boy in his arms suddenly shoved at him. His head automatically snapped to regard him and there he was blessed with a deadly icy glare.
Eye contact had been terminated and as the pounding of the blood through his body slowly resided consciousness started to gnaw at him. He saw the glare that Rukawa shot the spiky haired guy. Rukawa suddenly seemed to be so expressive… now… all of a sudden… there right in front of him… the pale boy's face reflected anger, disgust, shame, hurt. All these three emotions mingled with the still present desire and sexuality thus making him look devilishly gorgeous. Rukawa seemed powerless… at a loss… not in control of the situation… but at the same time he irradiated raw anger. Powerless but still so… so powerful. Hanamichi regarded the other boy with a glance and at that moment he thought he saw pain flash through his eyes. No… he was sure of it… it had been there… even if it was only for a nanosecond it had still been there. It had polluted the happy boy's face… that hurt looked so out of place… it was an intruder… one that should never have flashed across his face.
"Sendoh daijobou?"
Rukawa blinked in surprise and a few seconds later in hurt. The tenderness with which the red head regarded his lover with struck a chord in him… all the pent up emotions… all the secrets… all the lies… flooding him in that one instant that the red head tenderly inquired about his lover.
Sendoh looked at the red head and smiled slightly //Is this why he is so desirable? His innocence? His thoughtfulness? His… his… simplicity? Is this why Kaede loves him so much? Is this why Kaede dreams about him night after night while he lies sated in my arms? His red winged angel… Kaede… why?// He looked towards his lover and his eyes widened in surprise.
Hanamichi blinked in fear as he suddenly saw Sendoh's eyes widen in surprise //What the hell is wrong with Smiley? Is he hurt? No… he doesn't seem to be hurt… then what the hell is it?// he followed his gaze and it landed on the fox eyed boy. //What the hell?//
"Kitsune dai-daijobou?"
Greeted with no answer he just kept on darting glances back and forth between the two boys. He was an intruder… he was the unwanted spectator. The intensity between the two boys was palpable and with every additional second he stood there… the increasingly unsure he became… the more confused… the more lost… the more left out. As he realized… he was the intruder here… he should not be seeing these emotions play across their faces… he wasn't suppose witness that earlier on. He was suppose to be at home watching the game and munching on a bowl of chips… he was suppose to be relaxing… he wasn't suppose to find out about their hidden sides… and worst of all… he had no right sharing the intimacy which they felt. He was the intruder… these emotions are only meant for each other and not him… he was the unwanted spectator… he was the MISTAKE. Wordlessly, he grabbed his bag and walked out of the gym.
