Chapter One: A New Day

A thin, Eurasian boy walked out of a small, blue sedan filled with boxes, and raised his head to the massive building before him. He shut the car door, and still gazed at the weathered structure before him. He smiled, and walked to the back of the car, pulling open the trunk. A few items of clothing fell to the ground as the hatch opened, but he caught a few before they drifted downwards. He shoved them into a box, and he took out a suitcase and two fairly large boxes. He set them on the ground, and shut the back of his car before anything else flew out of it. He picked up the suitcase, stacked the boxes on top of each other, and tottered toward the towering structure ahead of him.

He walked confusedly through the hallways, occasionally seeing another boy like himself, sometimes with a proud parent, sometimes alone and walking as aimlessly as he. After walking in circles for what seemed like half the day, a young man walked up to him, also carrying boxes. "You looking for your room?" the young man asked him, in a very mild tone. "Uhm…" he said in a very quiet voice, "Yes, I am." "Well, what's your room number?" he asked, noticing how shy the boy he was talking to appeared. "Let's see…" the boy said, and fished for something in his pocket. He pulled out a slip of yellow paper, with a number scrawled across it. "It says 163." He said quietly, which almost came out as a whisper. The young man helping him looked at the paper, then looked at the boy, and back and forth a few times. The boy became quite confused by this, and asked him, "Is something the matter?" "Well," the young man began, and laughed a little, "It seems that we're room mates! How interesting!" He smiled, the sun from the window lighting his features brilliantly. The boy managed a dull chuckle, and smiled in the young man's direction. "Well," the young man began, "I suppose I ought to introduce myself." He said, reaching his hand out to the boy, "My name is Kento Urabe."
The boy smiled and shook his roommate's hand, and introduced himself, "And my name is Sai Urashima." Sai dropped his head a little, and after a second, brought it back up with an embarrassed smile, and added, "Nice to meet you."

The two boys walked to their rooms, conversing along the way. "Where are you from?" Kento questioned, looking at Sai curiously- he had slightly darker skin than his own, and beautiful light blue eyes. Sai looked at Kento, who had very light skin, black hair, and soft chestnut colored eyes. He also noticed that Kento was well built- his shirt was tight and you could see his stomach through the white fabric. Sai stopped looking at him after noticing this, and replied, "I'm from Osaka." Kento smiled, then nodded and said, "I was born there, but my family moved to Tokyo after my father was promoted." Sai smiled, and stopped before a door, realizing that they had arrived at their new dorm room. Kento set down his boxes, and pulled a key out of his pocket. He inserted it into the lock. "Ready?" He asked. Sai nodded, and pushed open the door.

Kento smiled as he saw his new room- it was small, and painted white, with two beds on either side of the room. Sai just stared- he couldn't believe how small his new room was. "Well," Kento began, after eyeing the room, "I suppose we should unpack!"

Sai dropped his bags on his bare bed, half of the contents falling over the mattress and onto the floor. Kento heard the items fall, and scrambled over to help his new friend. Sai reached down for the fallen objects- a few school objects, like pencils and books, a few shirts and shorts, and a pair of socks and underwear. Sai quickly grasped his undergarments, and blushed as he saw Kento helping him pick up- he was on all fours, and his shirt has risen up from his position, and Sai could see the small of his back. Kento looked up at him, a shirt in hand, and smiled, saying, "You're an awfully interesting guy…now, here," he started, and threw a pair of socks at Sai, "Stop blushing and help out." Kento laughed quietly as Sai blushed even more at his blunt comment, and Sai annoyedly threw his boxers back into his bag. Kento went to reach for more fallen objects silently, realizing that Sai was very sensitive.

"Sorry," he whispered, and grouped for a shirt and a pair of shorts. Sai reached out for the same items, and accidentally laid his hand atop Kento's. Sai felt a soft, warm sensation under his hand, and looked down to see his hand grasping Kento's. He pulled his hand away quickly, and, blushing, apologized. Kento, too, had turned a shade of light red, and nodded his head.

Sai quickly grabbed the rest of the items on the ground, and arranged them into the dresser on the far side of the room. "You can have the closet," Sai said softly to Kento. Sai went back over to his bags, noticing Kento was still sitting on the ground, and staring out the window.

"You alright?" Sai asked, and crouched down toward Kento, who suddenly turned his head to look Sai straight in the eyes. "Oh, yes," he said, and held his head in his hands. "You don't look too well," Sai said concernedly, and put a hand to Kento's forehead, noticing it was slightly warm. Kento let out a small sigh, and smiled. He's so nice, Kento thought, he's barely met me and he's practically taking care of me. Kento looked at Sai's beautiful face for a brief moment, admiring his dark, handsome blue eyes, and silky light brown hair that slightly shined in the sun sneaking through the window.

Sai smiled and blushed slightly, realizing he was taking on quite a motherly role. Kento suddenly became limp, and, seeing his arms fall to the floor, Sai quickly caught him in mid fall.

"What the…" Sai began to ask himself, and became quite puzzled. Should I call an ambulance? He thought to himself, but realized there was no phone installed in their new abode. Sai pulled Kento up in his arms, and sat him down near the wall, his body heavy and seemingly lifeless. Sai, suddenly becoming confident in him self, put his head to Kento's heart, and heard a soft, infrequent beat. "Well, that's good," Sai whispered, and removed his head from Kento's chest.

As Sai looked up again, he saw Kento's eyes flicker back to life. Kento blankly looked at Sai, and shook his head; putting his thoughts back together. "Thank you," Kento whispered, and lightly kissed Sai on the cheek.

Sai felt Kento's lips softly caress his features, and, after realizing he was enjoying this new sensation, he pulled himself away from Kento and backed away from the wall. Kento smiled a little, blushing slightly, and looked at Sai, who was flushed. "Uh…w-what was th-that abou-bout?" Sai said, apparently shocked. He could barely admit to himself that he had enjoyed the moment, and tried to force the thought out of his mind. "I'm…sorry," Kento said, lowering his head to his chest, looking at the ground, "I…" he began to add, but looked out the window, distracting himself from saying what he wanted to.

Sai was still sitting in the corner of the room, looking at Kento, and realized he had hurt him. He seemed so passionate…could it be…? He thought to himself, and shook his head, negating his thought. "There's no way," he whispered softly, but looked at Kento again, trying to see through the confident boy he had seen before. Sai himself was so shy that he normally wouldn't say anything more on the subject- but he was drawn towards Kento, almost entranced by him.

Kento looked back down to the ground, and had a strange demeanor about him- he was deep in thought, but had a blank look on his face. Why did I do that…? He thought to himself, why did I kiss him? I knew he wouldn't take that in the right way… Kento sighed, and looked over to Sai. He was on all fours, crawling towards Kento, a caring look in his eyes. "Are you alright?" Sai asked softly, trying to change the subject, though he was still embarrassed from before. Kento nodded, and replied, "Yes, that seems to happen a lot lately." Sai didn't quite believe him, and again put his hand to Kento's forehead. Sai furrowed his brows as he felt Kento's face still burning.

Sai sat down in front to Kento, putting his hands between his crossed legs. He looked Kento in the eyes, and asked him, "Why did that happen? Are you sure you don't need medicine? Should I call-" "I'm fine." Kento interrupted, and stared out the window again. Sai moved closer to him, and tried to look at Kento's face. "You're not alright. Tell me the truth." Kento looked up, and felt Sai's concerned stare. He sighed, and explained, "It…" he said, and sighed, putting his head down again. Sai motioned for him to continue, and Kento did so. "I pass out when I'm embarrassed, or angry …it happens whenever I feel really strongly about someone or something. I can never get too overly emotional, or this happens."

Kento curled into a ball, and started to softly cry into his legs. Sai moved closer to Kento, hugged him, and whispered into his ear, "It's alright. Everyone has their flaws." Sai moved his arms a little to let Kento breathe, and looked at him understandingly. So, he's not quite the person he appears to be, Sai said to himself. "Actually," Sai began, and Kento lifted his head, his cheeks burning and red from crying, "I'm shy when I'm around people and places I'm unfamiliar with. And, I can never be around too many people at once, or I freeze up and can't say a thing." Sai pulled his sleeve over his hand, and wiped Kento's tears with it. Kento smiled, and flung himself into Sai arms. "Thank you," he whispered into Sai's ear, and clutched his new friend closely. "I'm so glad I could help," Sai whispered back, and smiled happily, and let a single tear fall down his face.

Kento smiled, and buried his head in Sai's chest, still softly crying. This is what it feels like to be loved… Kento thought, and smiled to himself. He pulled back after a moment, and Sai looked at his face- his eyes were slightly red, and his cheeks burning and damp from crying. Sai brushed away a stray hair from Kento's forehead, and kissed him on the cheek.
