Author's Notes: Wow... It's been a while since I last wrote a ficcy... so long that I think I've quite lost my touch for it, so forgive me if this isn't as interesting as I hope it'll be...
Basically, the thoughts and feelings should be quite easy to read... any confusion over the parts... just tell me, 'k? Then I rewrite the darned thing...
One more thing, guess whose POV is it in the first part of this segment. Should be easy... and no, it's not Hanamichi's.

[words] - someone's thoughts...

Prologue: Something's Up…--------
"I love you..."
His eyes… pleading…
"Please..."
His voice... pained... filled with anguish...
"HANAMICHI!"
Him... broken... kneeling there... heartbroken...
--------
He woke up, his breath coming in pants, his heart beating erratically, his eyes wild with an emotion that he could barely define.
For a moment, he did not recognize where he was and looked around wildly like a trapped beast before realising that he was still in his room. Laughing silently at his stupidity, he slumped down in relief, taking in gulps of air to calm himself down.
[Why am I dreaming of THAT again...?]
--------
Nope, Sakuragi Hanamichi was definitely NOT in the best of moods. Youhei thought wryly, watching his redheaded friend fume inwardly at some transgression that he, as Hanamichi's best friend, wasn't particularly aware of.
One thing for sure, Youhei was sure glad that Hanamichi was mad at him, he just felt sorry for whomever the guy was mad at. One furious Hanamichi was more than the Gundam could handle, that was for sure.
So far Hanamichi had shouted at ten people for absolutely no reason, kicked over fifteen trashcans that were perfectly out of his way, head butted himself six times and fifteen other innocent-and-just-unlucky-to-be-there passer-bys just for the heck of it.
It was quite a record... considering that all this occurred during their fifteen minute walk to school.
And, oh yes, not forgetting to consider that only ten minutes had passed since they left his home.
WHAM!
Youhei winced. [Make that sixteen.]
He sneaked a glance at his fiery friend. Sakuragi was wearing his patent Look-At-Me-And-You-Will-Die expression on his face.
Youhei just as quickly sweatdropped and averted his gaze to somewhere less... detrimental to his physical health. He even slowed his pace down a little to walk behind Hanamichi... just in case, y'know? He certainly didn't want a head butt anytime in his near future... or, at least, not for today.
He sensed that Hanamichi had a problem that he just couldn't bring himself to discuss with Youhei just yet. He just wished that Hanamichi would get it out and over with.
Purely so that 'death' wouldn't descend on another poor, innocent and just-plain-unfortunate-to-have-stumbled-into-Sakuragi-today passer by.
What?
It was for the good of the world!
A rampant and on-the-warpath Sakuragi was damaging to the entire human race!
He was definitely not thinking of how many head butts he and the rest of the Gundam would be spared the rest of today, no, definitely not him.
He shook his head wearily, tired out by his own inward arguing with his conscience (and with a crazed fic writer...)
Ouch.
He had crashed into a rock-hard back. Which wasn't surprising, considering that he'd closed his eyes for the past two minutes... (Seraph: I wonder how he avoided head-on collision... mebbe I should learn that from him...)
He bowed down for a moment, his nose momentarily impaired. Recovering, he stood up, still gingerly holding his nose, and walked around the statue-like Hanamichi.
"Oi, Hanamichi, why did y-?" That was as far as he got before Hanamichi, having snapped out of his reverie, decided to snatch up Youhei, body and all, and run.
Finally stopping at a park thirty minutes away wholly because he had run of breath and simply had to rest, Sakuragi unceremoniously dumped his friend on the ground and slumped onto a bench trying to catch his breath.
Youhei looked at his panting-for-breath friend.
Something was definitely wrong, he decided and made up his mind to get the truth out of one incredibly-easy-to-trap Sakuragi Hanamichi... by hook or by crook.
Continued…Author's Notes:
Cliff Hanger! So sue me!
This is rather fast paced, isn't it? Already we're at the part where Youhei decides to force Hanamichi to blurt out his secret... Will he be successful? Or will our lovable redhead just head butt him in response?
Shall I continue? Or shall I just scrap this? Suggestions of titles welcome!
Anyway if you want me to continue this, vote for one of the below characters... Then maybe the ?/Hana will change itself. (Youhei is out... he's strictly platonic here...)
1. Maki
2. Sendoh
3. Rukawa
4. Any other guy you can think of... Not too hard though!
Anyway... R and R, ok?
