KISS HIM !
Chapter 2: JUST DO IT!
Akira had just left Ogata-san fifteen minutes ago. Now that he had his afternoon free, the green-haired teen didn't know what to do. He remembered that Hikaru always used to meet his friends at the Go salon at this time. Nodding to himself, Akira decided to go see them. Maybe he could persuade Hikaru into playing a match with him.
So, everything was right in the world for Akira when he entered the Go salon. He would meet his rival, he would play Go… It couldn't have been better.
That was what Akira thought until he was face to face with Hikaru. It must have been the bleached-haired teen's wide open green eyes, or the scared and surprised look on Hikaru and his friends' faces… but something told Akira that he should run as far as he could from this place before something would happen. He was sure that that something had to do with Hikaru and himself, and whenever the blonde teen was into something, nothing good could be come of it.
"Aah… Touya…. What a surprise to find you here!" Hikaru said and nearly winced when he heard his voice shriek.
Shit!
It was bad! Really baaaaaad! It must be a nightmare! It couldn't be real! He couldn't kiss *him*! For God's sake! It was Touya Akira they were talking about! Hell, he'd be lucky if he could get out of that situation alive after what he was going to do. Touya was soooo going to kill him! Hikaru felt a whimper escaping from his mouth.
"Waya…" He pleaded to the redhead.
"Shindou, don't even think about it." The older teen was a bit hesitant though. Everybody knew he himself wasn't a big fan of the green-haired teen. Why was Touya here? Sure, Waya wanted to make fun of Hikaru, but *kissing* Akira was a bit too cruel. If he was in Hikaru's shoes, he would already be screaming and kicking. There was no way in hell he would do such a thing! But… that didn't mean Shindou couldn't, Waya thought with a grin.
"Just do it Shindou!" the redhead repeated a bit impatiently.
Akira looked from Hikaru to Waya. Then from Waya to Hikaru. What was going on here?
"Touya, don't forget that we are friends, okay? Huh… we are friends, right?" At the blank look the taller teen gave him, Hikaru sweatdropped. "Well, I *am* your best rival." Akira just blinked at him. Was it a 'yes' or a 'no'? Hikaru didn't know, but for his own sake he preferred to see that reaction as a yes.
"Whatever happens," Hikaru quickly added –you never knew with Touya. Better say it quick before the 3-dan pro changed his mind- "…don't be angry. Don't do anything that would end with someone –mainly me- at the infirmary, alright?"
"Shindou, what are you talking about?" Akira frowned at him. His eyes took upon a dark colour, making the smaller pro shiver.
Oh shit! Hikaru didn't even want to think about how Touya would look when he would kiss the taller boy. Hopefully, he would have run far, very far away from here by that time.
Oooookay! Here it goes.
He threw one last glance at his three partners in crime –'crime', yeah; there'd be one today and something told him the body would look *a lot* like his own- then he swallowed his saliva which seemed to have stayed longer than it should have in his mouth, and went on his tiptoes.
Akira didn't understand a word that Shindou had said. The boy seemed to be completely nervous. When Akira would look at him, Shindou would turn away, scared and uncomfortable. The green-haired teen raised a surprised eyebrow when he saw two red spots on the smaller boy's cheeks. Akira gaped at him, which explained why he nearly jumped in surprise when he suddenly saw Shindou's face raised up toward him at a distance that was too close for Akira's comfort.
Nani?!!
That was the only word that crossed Akira's mind before he felt Shindou's lips on his. Instead of throwing the smaller teen away and beating the crap out of him, Akira froze and stayed still as if he had been paralyzed. The world could've fallen around them, but nothing could've snatched Akira from his lethargy. All he could think about was how soft and warm Hikaru's lips were, and how the boy's hair smelt like strawberries and honey, it was intoxicating. Then the unexpected kiss ended.
He faintly heard Hikaru whispering "I'm sorry" after which the bleached-haired teen fled from the Go salon in a rush. Akira stayed still for a while, as if he hadn't understood that Hikaru had already left. It was when Waya shouted a surprise "Wow!" that Akira woke up. The green-haired teen turned back toward the entrance where Hikaru had just left, and dashed out of the institute. He looked around with frantic eyes for a blonde bleached-haired teen, but didn't see anyone looking like him.
"SHINDOU!!!"
No one answered him. The passer-bys glanced at the green-eyed teen, but kept on walking. Akira let out an angry sigh, then went back in the Go salon, determined to get an explanation out of Hikaru's friends.

"So what did Shindou do this time?"
Akira started at Ogata-san's voice, breaking him out of his thoughts.
"Why did you say that?" the lower pro calmly asked as he placed a black stone on the goban. When the older man didn't answer him, Akira raised up his green eyes and frowned at the smirk on the blonde's lips.
"Who else could make Touya Akira space out when he's playing Go?" the man said back with a knowing smirk.
Akira frowned again. He didn't say anything, but kept on playing as if he didn't want to go further in *that* topic. Ogata knew better. He had known the boy since he was a kid. He could read him like a book. Taking his cup of tea, Ogata looked at the green water in silence.
"You are not fooling me, Akira-kun."
Touya sighed in defeat. There was no way to hide something from this man. He looked down at the black stone in his hand. "Shindou was being an idiot again."
At the raised eyebrow from the older man, Akira's lips thinned. "Yesterday, he made a bet with his friends." If he had wanted the older man's attention, the way Ogata-san was looking at him would be a proof he had it. Dammit! "He kissed me."
Well, there was at least something good about all of it. Akira could enjoy seeing Ogata choke on his tea. It was a pleasant sight. He remembered all the older man's smirks and teasing. Yes, it was almost worth it.
"You're kidding me, right?" Ogata asked with as much dignity as he could.
Akira didn't answer, and added a stone on the goban.
"Why would he do that? I know…" Ogata raised his hands as he saw Akira shooting him a look that clearly said 'Did you hear anything that I said?' "The bet, I know. But why would he agree? He would never do something like that to anyone. With everybody there looking at you two."
Another smirk appeared on the older man at the lack of answer from the younger pro.
"His friends said they made a bet. Maybe he didn't want to lose his pride in front of his friends." Akira suggested.
Ogata shook his head. "Maybe, maybe not," he replied with a smirk.
Akira looked at the goban with deep concentration, but Ogata was certain it wasn't Go the teen was thinking about. Lips thinned in a straight line, Akira stood up suddenly and bowed. "I'm sorry. I have to do something. Could we continue this later?"
Ogata dismissed him with his hand. "It's fine, Akira-kun. I'm sure you have something more important to do now."
The 3-dan pro bowed again, and left him without another word.
Ogata lit a cigarette, and suddenly chuckled as a thought crossed his mind.
"A simple bet. I thought these two would never do anything. Seems like it's going to get interesting."
***
Akira ran toward the Go institute.
He hadn't slept last night. All he could think about was that damn kiss. It was all Hikaru's fault! Everything was fine before. They were rivals, maybe even friends… but now, he didn't know anymore. Friends didn't kiss each other after all!
He wanted to know why.
He wanted to know if Hikaru had felt the same way as he had when they had been kissing.
He wanted to know if Hikaru had been thinking about that kiss last night too.
As he was running, he saw a black-haired teen with blonde strands. There was only one person with that kind of hair.
"Shindou!!!"
TBC….
