Questions

A/N: If you read the reviews, you will probably notice the comments about short chapters, so I decided to do something about it! Thanks to the person who mentioned about combining the two chapters, that's what I did. So nothing much changed except...there are two chapters now instead of three, but the content is all there! I hope you enjoy!

Did that really happen? I can't believe that happened! Hikaru thought bitterly. Seeing the boy sitting across from him -obviously shocked beyond words- made his anger burn more intensely. The subway was nearly empty in the middle of the day when everyone was off at work or school; the silence was soaking the air, made it hard to breathe. The only other person in the cabin had his hand on his mouth the whole time, showing a flushed face, stiffed posture and troubled eyes. For anyone who was just passing by, they would think that he was merely deep in thought but if one was there long enough, it would be clear that the tension surrounding them was not at very least comfortable.

Hikaru sighed, prepared to say something, do something, anything! At the same time, the train stopped and announced their destination. Hikaru scrambled out the door and took a deep breath. Well, at least I don't have to deal with the silence anymore. Hikaru thought as they made their way to the subway station exit, trying to keep himself in check, trying to avoid contact with the boy, because, who knows what he will do in his fury.

"Um, Shindou, I…I…" Akira started after they got out into the opening and was standing in the crowd. "I guess I will be going now." He declared when Hikaru refused to pick up the conversation. Might as well, I can't deal with this, can't deal with him right now, anyway Hikaru mused.

Just then, he caught a glance of that saddened face, and Hikaru blurred out: " What's your hurry? I'm hungry; let's go have lunch. You know, that new restaurant with its infamous ramen and other stuff is open right now." No body knew, but it took Hikaru's life just to say that calmly. One side of him wanted Akira to accept, while the other desperately wanted him to refuse. Taking the lead, he stomped across the street and headed in the direction of the new restaurant. If he had just looked back, he would see the joyful flash under Akira's eyes, filled with relief...

This ramen is awesome! This would be the best moment of my life if the atmosphere were not so stiff. Hikaru pretended to be focusing on his food (in some ways, he wasn't really pretending.) After the first bowl of hot BBQ ramen, Akira was sure that Hikaru would order second helping…and third. After all, this new restaurant might as well be Hikaru's new favorite ramen stand, besides, the chances of Hikaru only ordering one bowl of ramen anywhere could be compared to the chance of someone being struck by lighting…twice! That was why Akira almost dropped his chopsticks when Hikaru didn't proceed to order. Then he really did drop his utensils when a 'seemly' random question hit him right in the face.

"So, Touya, How do you like your first kiss?" Hikaru asked, seemly nonchalance.

"Eh? Uh, um…Well, I…" Akira's face burned bright red. He tried to ignore Hikaru's tone and his choice of words, such as 'first'. How does he know it was my first, how can he be so sure? Well, there is no avoiding it now. Akira lifted his face to stare into the gaze that was scrutinizing him.

"Hey, man! What do we have here?" That voice! No way!

"Waya! What's up? What are you doing here?" OH great! Shindou just had to answer huh!

"I missed you! So much that I'm here to uh, refresh my memory of you, by…eating your favorite food?" Waya joked. Akira rolled his eyes and Hikaru grinned.

"Hahaha, you missed me, huh. Just admit that you are here to try out your favorite food! How is the sushi here anyway? I just came back five minutes ago, so you are not the last thing I remember, I was going to go visit you after this."

Did Shindou just laughed at that? He didn't mind Waya being all…. stupid?

"Sure man. The sushi is awesome! Try it sometimes." Waya glanced to the other side of the booth.

"Humph! Some friend you are! I invited you to come at least five times ever since it opened and five times you refused! Now you are here?" With HIM? He finished in his mind.

With me, I bet that's what he was thinking! Akira thought to himself, very irritated yet relieved by the fact that he was being ignored.

"Well, you sure have a way of choosing the wrong time! I was busy preparing for the trip to Osaka, remember?" Hikaru obviously missed the extras in that sentence.

"Oh, yeah. By the way, how was your trip?" Waya asked conversationally, not knowing that he had just stepped on an instant bomb.

A/N: So far so good? I just want to say please leave a comment and please come back!
