The sun was shining brightly on that beautiful Monday morning. As the Sakuragi Gundam were on their way to high school, Hanamichi's mind drifted to the very first day he met the Gundam in elementary school. It was also the very first day he met his koibito, Youhei.

# Flashback- Elementary school years #

It was the first day of elementary school. As usual, you can hear the same old phenomenon of young children crying to go home because they couldn't bear the thoughts of being alone without their parents. But there were some who took the ordeal pretty well, especially a certain redheaded kid.

"This is going to be a wonderful day for the tensai! Nyaahahaha!"

Suddenly, someone bummed into him from behind and made him lose balance and he fell hard on his ass. This made him mad and he got up quickly as he screamed at the top of his lungs.

"Hei, how dare you push the tensai from the back! Who do you think you are?"

"Oh, I'm sorry did I hurt you badly?" answered the other boy.

Hanamichi turned around and saw a short but cute looking boy staring at him with frighten, innocent looking brown eyes. The boy looks as though he was about to cry and Hanamichi did not like to see other kids crying. So he said:

"It's OK. I'm fine. Don't cry, please. I didn't mean to frighten you. What is your name?"

"My name is Mito Youhei. And yours?"

"Hanamichi Sakuragi." As he answered the little boy, three others came up to them. One was tall with blonde hair, another was a little shorter than the other with black hair while the other was short, fat and rounded with spectacles.

"Hanamichi, meet my friends. This one is Chuichiro, the other is Noma and that one is Takamiya."

"Hello, nice to meet you all!"

"Nice to meet you too, Hanamichi!"
And so a new friendship began between the five friends. They went through good and bad times together, helping each other out when in need. But there was something more special shared between Hanamichi and Youhei. Whenever girl dumps Hanamichi, Youhei would be the first to comfort him. Whenever Hanamichi gets into trouble, Youhei would be the one to come to the rescue. In short, Youhei is always there whenever Hanamichi needs him.

"Youhei, there is something that I need to tell you."

"What is it Hanamichi. You know I can keep your secrets. Is it about a girl?"

"No, it's about something else. Emm.can I ask you something first?"

"Yes?"

"Are you gay? I mean can you accept homosexual people?"

"It's a personal question, but I must say I prefer to think myself as gay. Why do you ask?"

"Well, it's because I am gay too. And I think I like you. No, I love you, Youhei. I really do."

"You know Hanamichi, I've been waiting for you to say that for a long time. What took you so long?"

And this was the beginning of their beautiful relationship. They told this to the others and they nearly choke themselves to death of laughing, which, unfortunately, didn't happen. Instead they received a head-butt each by Hanamichi.

# End of Flashback #

Hanamichi was still daydreaming when Youhei tugged at his sleeves, awakening him from his fantasy.

"What are you thinking of?"

"Oh nothing. I was just thinking of the time I pondered to myself whether I was a gay or not. Looks like it was true all along. I am gay."

"And I'm glad. Or else I won't have any boys to love me the way you do."

"Don't worry Youhei. I'll love you forever and ever. Just trust me."

"I do." And he kissed him passionately on the lips, savouring the taste of his lovers kiss.

The others looked on as the lovebirds continued their romantic kiss.
