When the two former lovers went to the council room, they avoided each other, and tried to finish their work as fast as they could, so they could be anywhere but here.

Their youngest friend Akira noticed the cold atmosphere between the two boys. He wanted to cheer them up by offering some of their favorites. "Kaichou? Do you want a glass of ice-tea?"

"Thank you Akira … not today." Nokoru answered, without looking at Akira, he preferred to concentrate on the papers.

"Takamura-senpai … how does a cup of tea sound?" Akira turned to Suoh who seemed in another world. "Takamura-senpai?"

"H-hai … Ijyuin? There is something you wanted to say?" Suoh looked at him in confused, Akira sighed.

"What's wrong with you two today?" Suoh and Nokoru looked up at Akira in shock.

"There's nothing wrong Akira." Nokoru put a fake smile for Akira but the later shook his head in annoyance.

"There's something wrong … I know it and it's since you come back from France … you may think that … I'm naïve and maybe I am … but I could tell that you two are in love with each other." they gasped in shock at that statement. Akira did know, maybe they shouldn't be so shocked about it because Akira was their close friend. He should've noticed the glances and the unnecessary touches between them.

"But I don't understand why you want to keep it a secret from everyone … and act like you were still with Nagisa-san, Senpai."

"Ask him!" Suoh said as he glared at his Kaichou who glared back at him.

"Yes! It was my idea … Akira you know so well that I can't make a lady cry … and I won't do that to Nagisa-san." Nokoru hoped that Akira would understand him.

"Then you'd rather make the one you love cry?" Akira asked a simple question, but for Nokoru it was a shocking question and he never thought about it before …… never makes a lady cry … but does that mean that he'd let his love cry for the sake of a lady tears?

Nokoru pushed everything on his desk to the floor, angrily, 'so now it turned out to be my fault.'

Akira and Suoh stared at Nokoru in shock.

He took a deep breath to calm down, and then sat on the floor, leaning back on his desk holding his head by his hands sinking his fingers in his wavy golden hair. Suoh went to him for comfort and touched his shoulder and as he did …

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" Nokoru glared at him and Suoh startled and backed away. Nokoru was really upset. Suoh looked at Akira and the later nodded knowingly at his senpai and got out leaving his friends to solve their problems alone.

Suoh sat beside Nokoru who buried his face in his folded arms. "Let's fix this, Nokoru … don't you agree?" Suoh said gently.

"You love Nagisa-san." Nokoru replied, still burying his face in his folded arms.

"Look at me!" Suoh ordered but the blond just ignored him, and then Suoh pulled Nokoru's arms away, pulling Nokoru closer to him that their faces now become suddenly so close to each other. Nokoru's eyes widen in shock. They stared deep into each other eyes they thought they would kiss, but then Nokoru pulled away.

"We shouldn't do this anymore … Suoh!" Nokoru moved away from Suoh.

"I guess you're right … it seems that our fate doesn't want to bring us together."

They stayed silent after that and then they got up and returned to their work.

The next few days they begun to treat each other normally or maybe they tried to, so that their friend Akira won't be upset, but it seemed that nothing wanted to stop, because Suoh still flirt with Nagisa in front of Nokoru and the later was answering him by going out with guys.

At the end of the day Suoh collected his things and before he left the students council room he walked to the large window to take a look before he leave. The students were already heading home, nobody seemed around, but then Suoh glanced at two figures standing under a large oak tree.

"Kaichou!"

He saw a high school guy pushing Nokoru against that tree, Suoh immediately got out of the room locking it as fast as he could. He ran to where Nokoru was with that guy.

Suoh walked towards them to stop Nokoru from his madness, and Nokoru saw Suoh coming. He stared at him and then smiled suddenly at Suoh making the ninja boy to flinch. Nokoru wrapped his arm around that tall guy's neck and pulled him down into a kiss.

Suoh gasped. His chest hurts. It felt like someone has just shot him right in his heart. He tried to calm his body down, which was shaking uncontrollably. He moved his face away in hurt and ran as fast as he could. He couldn't take this any longer.

When he found himself finally at home, he immediately got himself inside the bathroom and locked the door on him, which was the only way his mother won't approach him. He didn't need anyone at this moment … he didn't need anyone to see what Nokoru had done to him. He opened the shower so that the water's sound would cover over his crying.

"Why are you doing this? …" He punched the mirror with his fist, and it has shattered into pieces and the blood started to stream out of his hand, but he couldn't care more or less.

"Nobody should touch you … no one but me …" he fell on the floor holding his injured hand tightly. "Nokoru … Nokoru …… I- I love you, damn It." what he whispered just now didn't help but to increase his tears … he was still in love with the blond guy after all.
