BTW...water ice is, um, how else to explain, kinda like a snow cone but much better. Like, if you buy italian ice from the supermarket, only soft, not hard, and usually has chunks of fruit in it. Aya's fan club leader is in this chapter- and to re-iterate, I did change her name because at the time of writing I was too lazy to find out her real name, so please don't hold it against me, k? please enjoy and review! Thanx:

Chapter 3

"Takeo-kun."

"Hai?" Aya leaned close to Takeo's ear as they walked.

"You should bench press me more often." Takeo inched away from Aya. "I can help you work out other muscles…" Aya started to reach out to touch Takeo.

"A,A,Aburatsubo!" Takeo-kun wriggled about with a red face. Eventually, Takeo managed to call off Aya's advancements.

Aya and Takeo continued to walk along, each in their own thoughts. Slowly, Takeo started to fall behind. Suddenlyhe blinked a few times, coming back to the reality of the clicking heels in front of him. Takeo's gaze followed up the heels and slinky sexy legs. Takeo blushed as he looked at this person. It was Aya, he realized.

'He doesn't look like a man from behind.' Takeo thought. With the length of his hair, the tall heels, long legs, round, firm looking butt just peeking out from underneath his cape…

Aya, just coming back into reality himself, stopped and turned, just in time to catch Takeo's gaze. Aya smiled. Takeo blushed. With eyes on the ground Takeo quickly caught up with Aburatsubo. Aya leaned down close to Takeo's face.

"If you want to touch it, you can." Aya grabbed Takeo's hands, wrapped them around his waist, and placed them on his butt. Aya's face tilted with a happy blush.

"Aaaaahhhhhh!" a sound came from a nearby house.

Takeo struggled to be free, his face turning reader by the second. 'His butt is firm…'

"Aburatsubo! Did you hear that-someone saw us!" Takeo exclaimed.

"It was just a dog Takeo-kun." Aya held Takeo's body close to his.

"I don't want to touch your butt!" Takeo pleaded.

"Then why were you staring at it?"

Hikagi covered her mouth. Recovering from her cold she had opened the window before she went to bed to get some fresh air when she saw her Aya-sama! At first she wasn't sure it was him, wearing woman's heels and some ridiculous outfit, but it was him. She had yelped when she saw her Aya-sama being groped by some boy! How dare he touch Aya-sama! What was she to do? Get a better look at the boy! That way you can make sure he never goes near Aya-sama again! Hikagi grabbed her advanced camera and zoomed in. Before she knew that she was doing it she had taken a few photos. What was she going to do with these photos? Hikagi pondered the possibilities as she gazed out her window. Finally that fiend had let go of Aya-sama.

"Aburatsubo, I swear someone saw us!" Takeo –kun said walking next to Aya. A pause of silence drifted between the two as they walked.

"Takeo-kun." Aya stopped. "Thank you for walking me home." Aya smiled. Takeo looked past Aya, they had made it to his house.

"You're welcome Aburatsubo, and, I'm sorry about hurting you." Takeo apologized.

"Good bye Takeo-kun." Aya leaned forward for a good bye kiss.

"Ja, Ja ne!" Takeo said moving rather swiftly away.

"Nanni?" Takeo-kun said as he picked upa blue sweater off the sidewalk in front of his house.

"Takeo-kun, I can't seem to find my blue sweater…"

"It must've dropped off his shoulders when he came running up to me before we left for Sawanoguchi's… I better return it to him." Takeo turned around and started to walk back to Aya's.

"Ugh, I smell again." Aya said as he stripped for a bath. After disrobing Aya quickly climbed into the warm water. As he relaxed Aya made sure his hair was done up correctly in the towel wrapped around his head. Suddenly a light knocking came from downstairs. Aburatsubo jumped from the tub and quickly wrapped a towel around his waist. Aya ran downstairs to the front door trying to get to it before his parents awoke. Aya's towel fell from his hair as he opened the door.

"Takeo-kun!" Aya whispered. "Come back for more?" Aya turned and flashed his bottom at Takeo.

"No! No!" Takeo exclaimed closing his eyes and using the sweater as a shield.

"My sweater!" Aya cried out. "Arigatou, Takeo-kun, please come in." Takeo-kun stepped inside, blue sweater in hand.

"Pardon my appearance Takeo-kun. I was in the bath when you knocked." Aya explained as he climbed the stairs to his room. Takeo removed his shoes and followed. Aya let Takeo in his room and went to drain the tub. Takeo looked around. It was what anyone would've expected of him. Very neat and organized. Cushy cream carpet, matching comforter on the twin sized bed, an out of place poster of a famous tennis star hanging over the head of the bed. Not much else, a closet, small dresser and a desk. The desk held schoolbooks, a few literature books, and aHa! A picture of him! Well, of Aya and himself, he remembered that day. He and Aya posed for that for Nanaka, the only way she could get a picture of Aya was with me, he remembered. I look pretty good there, he thought as he studied it. He was looking straight on into the camera, a good smile, he decided, and Aya had draped himself over my shoulders, a closed eye smile, it suited him, they both looked happy together, like, a couple …

'I was expecting more than just one photo…' Takeo thought. He walked over to Aya's bed and took a seat. Aya entered the room, still with a towel wrapped around his waist. Aya closed the door and went over to his dresser. With is back to Takeo, Aya dropped his towel and pulled out a pair of underwear. Takeo took a slight blush as he stared at Aburatsubo's backside. Aya pulled on a pair of black bikini briefs. Aya went to his closet and pulled out a night robe and tied it on.

"Thank you for bringing my sweater back to me Takeo-kun." Aya said taking it from him.

"Hai, I found it on the ground outside my house." Takeo explained. Aya placed the sweater on a hanger and went over to Takeo-kun. Sitting close to him on the bed Takeo could see the bandage Sae had fashioned for Aya.

"Aburatsubo, gomen nasai, for hurting you today." Aya looked down. "Please, let me see it." Takeo said full of remorse. Aya leaned his head towards Takeo. Takeo carefully pulled off the bandage. Aya winced in the second of pain it inflicted as it came off. Taking Aya's head in his hands Takeo examined the wound. A small cut, he didn't really need the bandage, his hair covered it, besides when anyone looked at Aya they were captured in his eyes…Takeo found himself once again probing those sparkling green eyes…they were deep, like the lush of a blooming jungle, or the soft laps of the green sea… Aya slowly leaned forward with lips pursed. Takeo closed his eyes, knowing yet not aware of what was happening.

'So soft…' Takeo thought as their lips met. 'That scent, smells like, cherry blossoms…' Takeo-kun caught a breath of Aya's cologne that became slightly stronger as Aya became warm. Aya released the kiss that they shared. Staring deep into Takeo's eyes Aya could feel Takeo's warm sweet breath against his face.

"Stay the night, Takeo-kun." Aya offered. Takeo was in a trance like state, trying to absorb what had just happened, all he could do was stare into those gorgeous green eyes…

"H, Hai…" Takeo-kun finally uttered. Aya got up from the bed. This jolt woke Takeo up, it sent all that had just happened rushing into his head, thousands of questions came to mind. He jumped up. What had just happened? What had he just done? Did he like it? What had he just agreed to? What did Aya have in mind? He, he, he didn't mean to kiss Aya, he wasn't paying attention, he was just, he was just, he was just staring into the deep emerald green of Aya's eyes.

"Soft…" Takeo whispered as a blush came on his face. He touched his lips as he remembered the last few minutes. Takeo shook his head. 'What am I thinking?'

Aya returned with guest beddings.

"Sorry Takeo-kun, I forgot that our guest room is being used for storage while we clean out the attic, you'll have to sleep in here." Aya lied out the bedding on the floor. At least Aya wasn't expecting them to sleep in the same bed. Takeo let out a sigh of relief. After placing his glasses on Aya's desk Takeo got comfy, he had a lot on his mind, he wondered if he was going to sleep tonight.

"Good night Takeo-kun." Aya said turning out the light.

"Good night Aburatsubo-kun." Takeo said rolling over. "Nanni?" Takeo turned on the light next to him after feeling something odd. "Aya!" Takeo exclaimed after seeing Aya lying next to him.

"Come to bed Takeo-kun." Aya patted the now vacant spot next to him.

"Aburatsubo! Sleep in your own bed!"

"I want to be next to you Takeo-kun. Besides, who said that we were going to sleep?" Aya reached across Takeo and turned out the light.
