Chapter 7: Stupefied
(Takeru's P.O.V)
Akira brushed past me, ignoring me. "Akira, wait up! I need to talk to you," I pleaded.
The brunette quickly spun around, black eye noticeable, infuriated, "I don't want to see your face right now! Leave me alone. Can't you get that through your thick head?"
"I'm sorry for what my brother did to you. I don't want you to ignore me anymore."
"What do you want me to do?! Put this whole thing behind us? Act as though nothing happened between us? Oh no, no, no, no, no... I can't put this behind us."
I argued back, "I never said to put this behind us! I just don't want you to be mad at me, okay?"
Akira glared at me, "Sure..."
I sighed, "You are acting so immature, you know that Akira? We know that something happe-"
"No, NOTHING happened got it?"
"Akira! Something did happen and we need to talk about it but no, you keep running away from it. Please, let's get everything straight, okay?"
Akira sighed loudly and said, "Straight... ha!" He calmed down somewhat, "Fine, since you keep whining about it. What do you want to talk about?"
"What did you do before you woke up with me next to you?" I asked.
Akira thought about it, "I walked into the room early to get a head start for the talent show and I saw you sleeping on your bed. It was like five hours before the show to begin."
"What were you thinking when you saw me there?" I asked looking at him in the eye to make sure he's telling me the truth.
"I just thought, 'he better not wake up late and arrive to the show at the last minute.' "
I said slowly, "So you didn't think about...sleeping...with-"
"NO Takeru! I would never do that and you know I am not like that. That thought never crossed my head. You know I like you only as a friend."
"Okay, sorry." I continued, "Then what did you do after you saw me?"
"I spotted some candy on top of the drawer and I decided to steal some from you since they weren't mine."
"Wait, I thought the candy was yours." I said.
"You got to be kidding me, there's no way I would leave candy laying around. Did you eat some?"
"Yes...then after that I took a nap..."
Akira's eyes widen, "I did too once I ate the can-" he stopped and asked, "Did you leave a couple of candies behind?"
I looked at the brunette, "You should know, you were the last one to be near the candy."
"Oh right, I was. Well that answers my question and the answer is no," Akira said.
"So when you ate the candy, did you feel sleepy?" I asked.
"Big time and I fell asleep on my bed. I wasn't near you at all," Akira confirmed.
"That's weird, I also went to sleep afterwards... I think the candy had some role with our situation."
Akira raised an eyebrow, "You assume too quickly, you know that?"
I said, "Well look at the whole situation. We both ate the same candy, we both feel asleep subsequently, and then we both ended up on the same bed after we knew we slept separately." I gasped, "Don't you think we got set up?"
The brunette shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know..."
I glanced at him, "C'mon, I think we did. Who would do this?"
"Who other than Yamato's rival?" Akira simply said.
"You're right! Taichi must have done this because of all the things we did to him." I snapped my fingers, "It was probably him and his friends. Oh man, I can't wait to tell Yamato; he'll be pissed," I smiled, "I'm sure he's going to get them back 'cause they messed with me."
(Taichi's point of view)
Once lunch had finished, my friends and I decided to head to my room just to chill. "So...you can't stop thinking about Yamato huh?" Shiro asked suspiciously.
That Daisuke, he never knows when to keep his mouth shut. "I guess..." I said as we arrived in front of my door. I used my key to unlock the door and I turned the knob. I pushed the door open and gave a signal to the guys to get in. Daisuke passed by and I replied, "After I told you to not to tell no one."
He walked over to his bed and sat down. Daisuke was confused, "What did I do?"
I got in and closed the door behind me, "You don't remember?"
He shrugged his shoulders, "Nope..."
"Seriously?" I asked.
Daisuke replied, "...Yeah."
"What a-" I stopped and walked over to my bed and sat down.
Shiro was leaning against the wall and said, "It's clearly obvious that Daisuke has a short-term memory," he joked.
Ken was sat next to Daisuke and tapped Daisuke's head, "Nope, nothing in there."
"Hey!" Daisuke smiled at Ken.
Shiro laughed, "He was like that ever since Daisuke fell on his head. He accidentally tripped while chasing a miniature dog."
Daisuke closed his eyes and stated, "I did not trip; I just decided to lie down and take a break."
"Sure you did," Shiro smiled.
Ken asked, "When did that happen?"
"When Taichi was at my house and I invited Daisuke to come over for the first time. We were outside and I introduced him to my dog and Daisuke found it funny he had tiny legs. So he started laughing and chasing him all over the place." Shiro said.
Ken glanced at Daisuke, "You're crazy," he laughed.
"Don't listen to him Kenny," Daisuke said in an intelligent voice, "Shiro does not know what he is talking about. I would never do something that immature."
"Hey guys, can I ask you something?" I asked.
"Yeah," they all said.
"Do you think I've changed?" I asked while looking each one straight in the eye.
Shiro answered first, "No."
Ken replied, "Not really."
Daisuke said, "YES."
"How?" I asked Ken and Daisuke.
"Well first of all," Daisuke said, "Ever since you found out about Yamato's crush on you-"
"WHAT?!" Shiro and Ken asked at the same time. I forgot that I didn't tell them about Yamato having a crush on me.
"Daisuke!" I yelled.
Daisuke smiled, "Sorry."
"Oh well,...they needed to know either way," I sighed.
Daisuke continued, "Back to what I was saying. I think ever since then, you started thinking of what would happen between you and him. That's what I see."
I turned to Ken, "And you?"
"Well you did start talking to Yamato, which I thought it was kind of odd. First you two were going at it; now you are nice to him. But now I know the real reason why, I don't see it as a problem. To be honest, I was getting tired of the feud we had between them."
Shiro said, "So he likes you?"
"Yes," I answered him.
"That's cool... Do you like him?" Shiro asked.
"That's the thing Shiro, I don't know if I do. But I keep thinking about it and I think I'm starting to feel something for him. The problem is, I like girls, not guys."
"Maybe you're changing," Daisuke said, "Look at me, I changed when I found out Kenny liked me."
"I know that. Do you think I should go with my gut instinct?" I questioned.
"Yes," Ken and Daisuke replied.
I looked away from Ken and Daisuke and looked towards the redhead, "Shiro?" I asked concerned.
"Yeah. I'll be cool with it." Shiro said as he threw me a pillow playfully. "Just don't go all drama queen on me later," he joked.
I smiled, "Cool..." I looked at Daisuke, "I need some tips... how do I talk to him and stuff like that."
Daisuke grinned, "Finally, something I think I'm good at," he said as he got up and came towards me. "Come my child, I would need to teach you the importance of...the importance of something." He clapped his hands twice, "Kenny, I need your help to supply this dirty brunette-"
"Hey!" I interjected.
"-with beauty supplies. I'm thinking of an extreme makeover." Daisuke said ecstatically, fingers twitching with excitement.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa Daisuke, I only asked for tips; not a makeover," I protested.
Daisuke snapped his fingers twice; ignoring me, "Shiro, I need you to help this filthy, dirt stained young man with manners. Also, with his wardrobe, if that can be done."
"Daisuke..." I mumbled.
"Don't speak Taichi," Daisuke put a finger to my mouth for me to be quiet. "This whole thing will be over soon." Daisuke lowered his finger down and said, "Shiro and Kenny, you know what to do."
Shiro and Ken were on it. Ken walked over to the door, "I'll be back, I need to get some stuff from my room." He opened the door and left.
Shiro went to the closet, "Hope you have decent clothes."
"Once we are done, you will become...a George Clooney look-a-like," Daisuke replied softly as he patted my cheek.
"Hope you know what you are doing..." I said nervously as Daisuke starting applying mousse to my hair.
"Don't worry Taichi, I'm Daisuke, remember?"
"That's what I'm worried about..." I muttered.
(Yamato's P.O.V)
I can't believe what just happened. I must be dreaming... is Daisuke telling the truth? Am I always on Taichi's mind? Nah, now I'm just being hopeful, I thought the next day in my dorm room.
I was about to get myself ready for my first class when I heard a knock on my door.
A boy my age, quite over-weight, smiled and handed me a flyer. I laughed, "Hey-Hey! What's up Katsuya?" I said as I recognized the teen from one of my classes.
He punched me on the arm, "Nothing much."
"Okay, what's this?" I asked as I looked at the paper.
It read:
Odaiba School
is
having a weekend
field trip!!
10:00am Friday- 6:00pm Sunday
Sign up at the Principal's Office ASAP.
"Did you hear Yamato? The principal is having a weekend long trip to the beach. You have to go, it's going to be awesome!" Katsuya said, eyes glowing with excitement. "Girls!"
I looked up at Katsuya, "This weekend?" I asked.
"Yeah; sorry for the short notice. It's just that the principal just gave me the flyers like fifteen minutes ago and I couldn't wait to pass them out," He pulled his shirt's collar.
My eyes lowered to the teen's shirt and there was a statement printed on it. It said, 'I beat anorexia'.I looked away, trying to hide my smile. "All right, I guess I'll be there."
The teen cheerfully smiled, "I promise, you won't regret it. See you there!" he said and left to the next dorm room.
I closed the door and threw the flyer to the floor, "This trip better be worth it." I suddenly had an itch on my eye and I decided to scratch it. "If Taichi's going, I would definitely be there. I could already picture him in a black Speedo," I laughed.
THUMP-THUMP! Someone banged on the door. I jumped and accidentally poked my eye. The door swung open and Takeru and Akira came in. "Hey Yamato!" Takeru greeted.
I put my hand down and glared at the blond with watery red eyes, "You idiot! You made me poke my eye!"
Takeru replied, "Sorry about that."
I rubbed my eye as I walked over to the mirror in the restroom to check it out. "What do you want?" I asked.
"Well," I heard the voice of my brother, "Akira and I talked about...you know...and we came to a conclusion."
I got out of the restroom and studied the brunette who was, to my surprise, quiet since his arrival. "Akira?" I asked suspiciously.
Akira took a short breath and replied, "I think...I mean, we think Taichi and his friends set this up. You know, the whole sleeping thing."
I crossed my arms, "And why do you think that?"
Takeru jumped in and said, "Well we did have a rough start. That's probably just to get us back since we kept on picking on them."
"Oh, I see," I whispered.
"Let me tell you how we think the whole sleeping with Akira went that day," my brother said as he went ahead and sat down on the nearest chair.
I rolled my eyes and sighed, "This is going to take long."
Fifteen minutes had passed by and Takeru and Akira finished explaining their theory. "So you two think Taichi put something in the candies to make you two sleepy?" I asked while lying on the floor on my stomach.
Akira was sitting down on the floor and answered, "Remember, that's our opinion."
I glanced up at the brunette, "Sorry about going all psycho-killer on you," I apologized, "Damn it sounds all cheesy."
"Forget about it, we're still friends. And yes, it sounds cheesy," Akira shrugged his shoulders, "It don't matter. What passed is past."
"Cool..." I replied.
"I realized something," Takeru whispered as I looked at him, "You didn't get upset about Taichi doing this but you did get upset when you thought Akira was the one who did it. Yamato, care to explain?"
Oh snap, pretend to still be mad at Akira. They don't need to know about Taichi...yet. "I'm mad about Taichi," I lied, "Akira, I'm still a bit irritated with." Weird, I'm not mad at Taichi at all... I got up and gazed at my alarm clock, "Well I got to go, class is starting in a few minutes."
The guys got up and Akira asked confused, "Ishida going to class early? I lived to see the day."
I walked over to the coat hanger and picked up my brown jacket. I put the jacket on and pulled back my hair. "Ha, Akira, still not going to class on time?"
Akira raised his hands, "Hey, I can't find my books," he grinned.
"You purposely lost them," Takeru said. "Except your math book, you still have it but you glued all the pages together," my brother laughed.
"I lost it- I accidentally lost it," Akira corrected the blond.
"You two stop distracting me," I forgot about going to class, "I'm going to be late. I'll see you guys at lunch." I walked out the door and stopped, "Oh yeah, once you two get out of my room, lock the door. All right?"
"Don't worry about it Blondie," Akira winked and blew a kiss at me.
Takeru laughed at Akira's joke and I said, "Are you sure you two didn't sleep together?" I teased as Takeru and Akira blushed cherry read. I opened the door and headed in the direction to my class. I went around a corner with my hands in my pant's pocket. As I was looking to the ground to make sure I didn't step on anything, somebody quickly swept in front of me. I immediately stopped, "What the?" I looked up and glanced around me and saw nothing, "What was that?" I whispered.
All of a sudden I felt a cold breeze running through my back. The hairs on my neck stood up as I shivered. "Okay, this is freaky..." ...This is too weird...first I hear my name being called out during lunch yesterday, and now I am seeing things that aren't really there. Am I imaging all this? I shook my head and said, "Yeah, I am."
I continued my way towards my class; I didn't check the floor for gum this time. As I got near the classroom, I noticed the door was closed. I sighed, "I'm late...once again." I slowly strolled over to the entrance of the class and turned the knob when I got there. I opened the door and walked in.
"Ah, Mr. Ishida...so glad of you to join us," the teacher greeted me with a pleasant voice. His voice changed, "What's your excuse?"
I shrugged my shoulders and whispered, "Things aren't going my way...sir," I stared at the man.
The teacher was startled by my answer; as though I was insane. "...wh-what kind of things?" he asked suspiciously.
I looked to my left in the corner of my eye, to see if I could spot the brunette. No sign of Taichi. I glanced back at the instructor and said, "Little things..."
Thinking he wasn't going anywhere from here, he then replied, "Close the door and have a seat Mr. Ishida. Next time, please arrive here on time, sir." I closed the door and walked over to my seat. I sat down and thought, Why all of a sudden is Taichi missing the first few minutes of class? "All right class, please get out your literature books out and open to page 341 and continue reading the short story."
Reading? Okay, reading's okay...got nothing against that. I looked around the floor for my book bag, Aw, man, I forgot my book bag. Wait a minute, 'continue reading the story'? I finally had realized what my teacher had said. Where was I when the class started reading? I thought for a moment, Oh, yeah...I was probably busy writing the lyrics to a song instead of paying attention. Great timing Yamato to get behind in class! Hold on, why am I so worry about it? It is not like I do all the assignments anyways. I shouldn't get paranoid for one assignment.
"All right class," the teacher said as I snapped out of my thoughts. "Let's see the show of hands, who is done with the story." Hands were raising one by one until it came to a stop. The instructor counted them with the point of his finger, "That's everybody except Mr. Ishida."
I gazed around and I was the only one without a hand in the air. All of a sudden, all eyes were on me. I was startled and said between my teeth, "Don't you have anything else to look at?"
Some of the students turned around, not wanting to look at me no more. Others, damn them, kept staring. Mr. I-didn't-catch-his-name-on-the-first-day-of-school shook his head in disappointment, "I believe you don't have an excuse for this one, am I right Yamato?"
I said sarcastically, "How in the hell did you know?"
Without giving me a second chance he said, "Step outside sir. I'll deal with you later."
I got up and left the classroom. "What's wrong with me? I rarely forget my book bag..." I whispered. I leaned against the wall and let myself slide to the floor. My right leg was stretched across the floor and my left leg was tucked in under me. I leaned my head against the wall and closed my eyes.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, staying alive, staying alive," I heard someone sing in a far away distance.
"What kind of-" I whispered.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, staying..." the sound came closer.
"Can you be a little less quiet?" I said between my teeth.
"Aliiivvveeeeee," the person took a breath, "Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin-Yamato?"
I slightly smiled, "Haha, he got mixed up and said my name."
"Uh...Yamato?" I heard him say again.
I opened my right eye and saw a tall, brunette man standing before me. I studied him from head to toe, he's an attractive guy... He wore blue jean pants, a long sleeve gray shirt, and athletic type of shoes. The guy's hair was a bit combed back...he looks like...who does he look like? I secretly gasped, this guy looks like Johnny Depp...nice... A/N: Did anyone see the Oscars? Did anyone see Johnny Depp? Well, that's the hairdo I'm talking about.
"Yamato?" the guy said once again.
"Yeah?" I asked.
The guy smiled, "I didn't expect to see you here."
Does this guy even know me? I don't even know him... "Who are you?" I simply said.
He glanced around and then back at me, "You'll know soon but right now, guess."
Not this game again... I sighed loudly and closed my right eye, "Please, I don't have time right now. Either you tell me who you are or, keep walking and forget about the whole thing. All right?"
The guy laughed, "All you have is time, my dear boy." He smiled, "I can't believe you don't recognized me Yamato. Fine, fine, it's me, Taichi."
I quickly opened my right eye, you've got to be kidding me... This guy, is Taichi? I thought he was 21! I'll give him some credit, he got my full attention. "So, you're Taichi?" I pointed at him.
"Yeah..." He said.
I opened my left eye, "Why-How-What-When-" I stopped. What am I doing? I'm making myself look like an idiot! All these questions are rushing through my head and I don't know where to start. Should I tell him, "Hey Taichi, you look hot!!" Nah, I'm not going to say that. I nervously asked, "You got a new look?"
"Yeah," Taichi smiled and looked at himself, "Do you like it?"
I shrugged my shoulders, "Yeah, yeah, you look good-" I quickly shut my mouth and my eyes widen. I suddenly felt my face turn hot. I know I am blushing...
I glanced at the brunette and I could see a smile starting to form. "Thanks," he said.
"You're wel-welcome," I whispered.
Taichi came and sat down next to me. His legs were spread across the floor and he dusted off the dirt off his pants. "So, are you going to the trip this weekend? Some kid gave me the flyer today."
Figuring that Taichi would go, I said, "Yeah...are you?"
"I really didn't want to but all my friends are going and I didn't want to be stuck here alone. I guess the trip will be okay."
"Have you signed up at the principal's office?" I asked.
"Nah, have you?" he looked at me.
"Me either."
"Well then, that settles it. Let's go sign up," Taichi said as he got up and held out a hand, "C'mon."
I can't let this trip pass and besides, I said I was going to go. I lifted up my hand and grabbed a hold of Taichi's hand. Taichi helped me up and I stood on my feet. "All right, let's go," I said.
"Let's go," Taichi smiled and led the way to the principal's office.
Shiro's P.O.V /in class)
"Hey, do you want to be my partner?" someone asked.
I looked up from my notes. And all I saw was green hair and... beautiful green orbs. At first I thought, 'What's this chic doing at our school?'. Then it clicked. This is an all boy school and there are no girls on campus and the nearest thing to a girl is Ken.
I gulped,"Sure." I gave him a nervous smile. I've never noticed him before.
"My name's Lyserg. And judging from your face, you've never noticed me before." He smiled. Oh my god....he looks like a girl. He'll give Ken a run for his money. I chuckled.
What's so funny?" He asked as an elegant eyebrow rose.
I smiled, "Nothing, it's just... nevermind." I coughed and brought out my hand to give him a shake, "My name's Koushiro, but you can call me Shiro."
Lyserg smiled and sat down next to me, "Everyone in class knows who you are, Shiro. You're like the smartest kid in school, well, in my opinion anyway." His shook my hand.Is that a complement? I think it was...
Thanks for noticing. Not everyone's fond of a science nerd." I sarcastically said as I continued to write some stuff down.
"Awww, don't get so hard on yourself. I think people who like science or learning in general, are quite extraordinary." He quickly turned around to grab his backpack to take out his notebook. "It beats the hell out of junkies and jerks."
I stopped writing my notes. I glanced around to see if anyone caught that. Is Lyserg coming on to me? I brought my attention to Lyserg who was writing down his notes. He felt my stare and looked up, eyes seeming behind his bangs. Do you think you can like someone in that short of time? He quickly gave me a small smile and looked back at his notes to continue writing.I think... anything's possible.
(Akira's P.O.V)
A few hours went by and I still haven't gone to class. Takeru, for being such a follow-the-rules type of guy, left a few minutes after Yamato. Right now, I am enjoying the sweetness of staying in and relaxing my butt off in my room. My bed has a lot of cushion for the rear end, I thought as I was laying on my bed facing the ceiling.
I placed my arm under my head, I wonder if Yamato is going to the field trip. Well of course he is, girls are going to be there. But one thing I know, I am totally going. This is the once of a lifetime experience...well, not really. I had to suffer and go to a school that didn't have girls attending. I am stuck here with GUYS and believe me, it is so uncomfortable. All the guys looking at me, it freaks me out. I know they can't resist and all but they need to learn to back off.(Thump-thump-thump) Someone banged on the door and I jumped. "Whoa!" I whispered as I sat up.
"Mr. Akira? Are you in there?" a man's voice was heard on the other side of the door. "Open up, I'm you're teacher. I know you're in there."
"Busted..." I quickly got on my feet and ran to the restroom and closed the door behind me.
"Akira, are you in there?" he asked again.
"No!" I yelled. Ah crap! Way to go Akira! I thought as I realized what I had done.
"Open the door Akira!"
I instantly got nervous, "What should I do? What should I do? He knows I am in here. Ah man, why did I yell out 'no'?"
"I'm coming in!" he said as I heard the doorknob turn.
I started to jump a little, "What should I do?"
"I'm figuring you are in the restroom, am I right?" the teacher asked.
"How did you know?" I questioned.
"Ah ha! I was right!" he laughed.
I hit my forehead with the palm of my hand, "IDIOT! Stop tricking me!" Got to think of something fast, got to think of something fast... What would I do in a tight situation?
"Akira?" the teacher opened the door to the restroom. "I got yo-ah!" he screamed at the sight of me sitting on the toilet.
I glanced up at him and pretended to be shocked, "Get out of here!"
The teacher blushed and quickly closed the door, "Uh, I should go," he said as I heard footsteps heading towards the door.
I secretly laughed and stood up. "Haha, you should have seen the look on his face," I laughed as I pulled my pants up. I walked past the mirror, "Wait a minute!" I went back and stood in front of the mirror and saw my reflection. "Hey, how you doing?" I blew a kiss at the man in the mirror. "Handsome are you? Most definitely!" I left the restroom and headed to the entrance of the dorm room, while whistling a happy tune.
(Shiro's P.O.V)
Morning of the Field Trip
As I turned to look at the other people waiting for the bus to arrive, I saw him. I don't know if I'm seeing straight.
He caught my eye and smiled. Wow, perfect smile... just exquisite. I shook my head. I can't be thinking this way. He left his friends and starting walking my direction. I started feeling butterflies in my stomach.
"Hey Koushiro." He said as he started messing around with the last button on his white button shirt. He looks nervous just like me.
"Call me Shiro, remember?" I smiled.
Lyserg smiled at me again, "Okay, Shiro."
I gulped, "How's it going?" I couldn't help but stare at his eyes.
He blinked a couple of times as if coming out of a trance, "Nothing much. You?"
"Same here..." I coughed. "So I guess you signed up for the trip as well."
"Yea... so who are you bunking with?" Lyserg asked hopefully.
I decided to look down at my shoes as if it was the most interesting thing in the world, "With my friends; I really don't know."
"Maybe you could bunk with me. What do you say?" Lyserg asked. His eyes bulged out in shock and the realization hit him. I could tell he had not planned on asking me out loud.
"I don't know, maybe. It's just..." I stopped at mid-sentence. What could I say?His face fell, "O-kay. Maybe we can hang out later then." The greenhead said, "I guess I'll see you later. Ok?" He gave me a small smile, "Bye Shiro." He then turned to leave
My head was telling me 'No! You cannot like him!' as my heart was saying 'Call him back!'.
I shook my head. What am I going to do? I asked myself as I stared at his retreating back.
(Takeru's P.O.V)
Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me
Bullst fakers, enchanted kingdoms
The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth I never let on, that I was on a sinking ship
I never let on that I was down
guitar
Damn this song kicks musical as- "What the hell are you listening to Takeru?"
I jerked and dropped my sketch pad. I looked up and saw Akira leaning on his bed acting like I'm a complete dork. "Smashing Pumpkins," I picked up my sketch pad and placed it to the side of my bed. I glared at him. "What's so important that you interrupt my alone time?"
Akira gave me an awkward glance, "Alone time? Dude, that sounds totally disgusting like you're enjoying your time alone." He laughed and decided to throw me a pillow. "Next time you want to spend time alone, you should put a 'I'm jacking off. Do not disturb' sign up on our door."
I glared daggers at him, "Not that kind of alone time. I would never do something like that!" I quickly got off my bed before he continued to tease me. "You didn't answer me. What are you doing here?" I walked up to my closet to start packing for the field trip.
Akira's arms was up above his head, shirt sliding up to show some skin. "I just wanted to tell you about the teacher." He turned his head to face me, "He came to my room to look for me and I accidentally spoke out loud. So he decided to come in and I took off to the bathroom. I knew he was coming in so I decided to get back at him. I pulled down my pants and sat on the toilet." He starting laughing, holding his stomach, "You should have seen his face when he saw me butt naked!!"
"Butt naked?!?" I could not believe all the things Akira would do to get someone back. "Eww! Stop it, you gave me a mental image!"
Akira laughed and calmed down somewhat, "You'll like to see that, don't you?" He sat up. "Anyways, do you know who you're going to bunk with for the trip?"
I quickly glanced at him from my backpack, "Nope. It's either Yamato or you." I stuffed a couple of boxers inside my bag. "And you?" I asked as I grabbed my sketch pad and placed it in the bag.
"I don't know, maybe Katsuya. He seems cool. Besides I over heard the principal talking to one of the teachers in the hallway. He asked Yamato's literature teacher to make room assignments for all the boys."
"Damn, I hope I bunk with someone I know," Akira looked a bit disappointed.
I zipped up my backpack, "All done."
"Whoa, that's quick." Akira said and stood up. He looked around and grabbed his own backpack, "Let's go find Yamato."
I followed Akira out the door with my backpack hanging on my shoulder. "Let's split up so we can find him quicker." I suggested.
Akira pointed at me, "Good point. Let's meet at the tree on the left side of the courtyard in like..." He glanced at his watch, "Ten minutes. Ok?"
"Ok." I took off to the left as Akira went to the right.
(Ken's P.O.V)
I felt arms wrap around my waist and felt a kiss on my left cheek. "Good afternoon Kenny."
I turned to my left and gave my love a loving smile, "Good afternoon Dai." I leaned in to give him a peck on the lips.
Once I parted, Daisuke whined, "Awww. Is that all I'm getting? You got to be kidding me Kenny. You know I love the taste of your lips. Quit teasing babe." Daisuke leaned in closer with a naughty smile, "I know you like it."
I laughed, "Do you always have to make everything naughty, Dai?" I passionately asked him and leaned in close to give him a full-out kiss.
"Oh my..." A voice said behind us.
Daisuke turned around, arm still around my waist, "Yes, may we help yo-" Daisuke stopped.
I turned around as well, to see what was the hold up, "What's wrong Daisu...."
Now I understood the whole situation. It was Takeru. He seemed like he saw a ghost; he was pale and his eyes are bulging out staring at Daisuke and me.
"I didn't know you two were... ummm.. you know, together." Takeru stammered like a young boy.
"Yes, we're together. Do you have a problem?" I asked. I kept my stare intense. If he's homophobic, I'm going to kick some homophobic a...
"Nope. I have no problem," he said as he placed his hands in his jeans. He then turned to look at Daisuke, "You look like a swimmer or surfer. Do you surf?"
Daisuke quickly eyed him and pondered on the question, "Yes, I love the water. How can you tell?"
"Well, your tan is the biggest give-a-way. And you do have the body for it..." He quickly stopped noticing that he sounded like a come-on. "I mean...you can tell." He nervously bit his lip, "I gotta go, I'll see you two later." Takeru then walked quickly around us to leave.
"Well, that was strange." I said while leaning my head on Daisuke's shoulder.
"Yup," Daisuke looked at Takeru's retreating form and spotted Taichi coming our way. "Hey, what's up?" Daisuke asked Taichi.
"Your cholesterol," Taichi replied. He chuckled and playfully punched Daisuke's arm. "Nah nothing dude. I just can't wait for this trip to get on its way!"
I couldn't help but to look at Taichi. We really did a damn good job on his appearance. I wonder if Yamato have seen him...
Just then Taichi looked to his right, smiled and waved. I quickly looked at the same direction and caught Yamato with a shy smile. I guess Yamato already saw him.
"Ken, are you going to stay in the same room with me tonight?" Daisuke asked hopefully.
I could really tell his teen hormones are going haywire. "I don't know. Shiro already asked me and I said yes." I playfully said.
"You're lying. You know you can't resist this," Daisuke lift up his shirt to show his perfectly well-formed six-pack and tight stomach, "You like?"
I blushed. "Dai, not now."
Taichi laughed, "Not now? You're not so innocent Ken. Remember the other day?" Taichi winked and laughed some more. Taichi stopped to look around, "Where's Shiro? I haven't seen him since yesterday." Taichi looked to his left, "Ha! There he is. I'll be right back." With that, Taichi left leaving Daisuke and I with our backpacks.
(Taichi's P.O.V)
"Ha! There he is. I'll be right back." I ran to catch up to Shiro and decided to surprise him by jumping on him and not getting off until he tells everyone around us that I'm the king. As I got closer, I noticed he was talking to someone, who looked rather girly, with green hair.
"I don't know, maybe. It's just that,..." Shiro said quietly and stopped mid-sentence.
"O-kay. Maybe we can hang out later then." The greenhead said as he left looking disappointed. "I guess I'll see you later. Ok?" He gave Shiro a small smile, "Bye Shiro."
I saw the greenhead's back retrieving and decided this was my cue, I brought my arm around Shiro's neck. "Hey, what's up Shiro? Was that your girl-friend?" I chuckled.
Shiro shook his head, "...Taichi...that's a guy," he said quietly.
I looked away , "Okay..." Two seconds later I finally clicked, "What!?!" I pointed to the greenhead who was in a far away distance, "What you are saying is that, that person is a girl-I mean, a guy?" I asked confused.
Shiro lowered my hand, "Don't point Taichi, that's rude!"
"It's rude?" I said as I pointed to the greenhead again.
Shiro glared at me and pulled my hand down, "Stop it!"Whoa, cricket got mad! I grinned.
"Quit smiling," Shiro replied a bit angrily.
"I'll stop smiling once you answer my question greenhead lover," I said quickly.
"Excuse me?" Shiro rolled his eyes, "To answer your question, yes...that's a guy. And don't think wrong, all right Taichi?" I smiled and didn't say a word. "I said don't think wrong!" Shiro repeated.
"Well, I'm going to meet up with the rest of the gang... and with the look you're giving me, this is my cue to leave. I'll see you and the greenhead holding hands later," I laughed and left quickly before Shiro beats me up with his backpack.
(Takeru's P.O.V)
Ken and Daisuke. Whoa... I did not know they were together. Do they even care that they are seen? I remember Akira's reaction when other students starting looking at us. 'Don't make a scene.'
I leaned against a tree waiting for the bus to arrive. Where's Yamato and Akira? I looked around and spotted Yamato straight ahead, blushing and looking to his left. What's going on here? I turned my head in the same direction as Yamato to see what my brother was glancing at and spotted someone who looked like... Johnny Depp? What in the world? A Johnny Depp look-a-like...talking to Daisuke and Ken?? I quickly ran towards Yamato, "Who the hell is that?!" I asked totally curious of who the new student was.
Yamato looked at me, blood still swarming around his cheeks, "That's Taichi."
My jaw dropped. I could not believe my eyes! Taichi? That's Taichi?!?!?Akira ran up to us, "Finally, we're all together." Akira then turned in the direction of the incoming bus and raised his arms in the air, "Hallelujah."
Still stupefied with the whole Taichi looking like Johnny Depp, I was missing the main fact....Yamato was blushing when he was looking at Taichi!!! Blushing?!?! I cannot believe this. I'm I missing something here? My brother can't be blushing...at Taichi. Is...my brother...gay?
