Chapter 3: When Darkness Meets Ice
About a week later I was at the skating rink when a boy came in, he looked about 13. He was slipping so I rushed over and caught him. We knocked into a wall but I took the blow. He smiled and thanked me and introduced himself as Tommy. We skated and chatted, he told me about his older brother and his parents, I told him about my mom and how I didn't have any siblings that I know of, I also told him about my new best friend Takuya and the bandana kid, as I talked about the latter, I realized something, both times I'd seen him, he looked kind of familiar, and now I knew where from, he looked like me with longer hair and a bad attitude. We talked for a while longer and I taught him how to skate fast and stop, he mastered it within a couple of tries, he was a real ice demon. Takuya showed up just as I caught Tommy again, he'd gotten his skate caught in a crack in the ice. "Unhand that boy you... you... child molester." I laughed; letting go of Tommy as I'd already steadied him. Takuya grinned at me and Tommy looked confused, "Tommy, meet Takuya, Takuya, this is my new friend Tommy." The shook hands and Takuya said, "Nice to meet ya Tommy, are you Koichi's new boyfriend?" I laughed and Tommy looked confused again. "Ignore him Tommy," I said. "He's a real joker, and he really likes making fun of me." Takuya grinned and Tommy just nodded, still utterly confused. Poor kid, I went to pat him on the back to make him feel better, but Takuya was picking him up for a piggy-back ride, I blushed and pulled my hand back, Tommy was blushing too. If I hadn't been so embarrassed I would have found it funny, like Takuya did. "I know I called you a child molester, but you didn't have to take me seriously," Takuya said, laughing. I smacked him in the head and Tommy blushed furiously. "Takuya, no more comments, you're embarrassing the kid," I said, smiling at Tommy. Takuya smirked, "I was right Tommy, you are his new boyfriend." I smacked him again and Tommy blushed even more. "For your information I've never had a boyfriend, I've only had a girlfriend and before you make a comment of some kind we never even kissed and you know why I dumped her." Takuya shut his mouth and grinned at me, "Well you could always start with Tommy, he's cute and I'll bet he's a great kisser." He dropped Tommy and ducked and I caught him. "Wow Takuya, you're great at giving piggy-back rides, dropping the kid before you even take him anywhere," I said. "Uh Koichi?" Tommy said, blushing tremendously. "Huh? Oh," I blushed. "Sorry kiddo." I set Tommy down and blushed again, wiping my hand on my jeans, hoping to cleanse my hand of the crime it had committed. "Wow, you're taking this child molester thing really seriously," Takuya said, shaking his head. Tommy blushed majorley and zipped up his jeans, I guess I'd accidentally unzipped them when I'd caught him. "You're a sick kid," I heard a familiar voice say, and looked over to see the bandana boy there, shaking his head, for some reason, his comment really stung, worse than Tommy or Takuya, or even my mom's would have. I glared at him, "I didn't do it on purpose! He fell and I caught him and that's where my hand ended up, not that you would understand, you're perfect, you never make mistakes." He just looked at me with those blue- gray eyes of his, the ones that looked so much like my own. "What's your name anyway buddy?" Takuya asked, I guess hoping to lighten the moment along with getting some valuable information. "Kouji Minamoto," he said and left.
