Chapter 1 – Dreams, Drama and Tea
By : Tsuchiz T.T
Some notes:
1) They are roommates, isn't it obvious?
2) Takumi isn't gay, so don't worry ok? If you watched the anime you would know.
3) The words in italic are Takumi's inner thoughts
Enjoy! Hopefully
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Akira-kun, I –I have something that I need to tell you"
Akira raised an eyebrow as his friend closed the distance between them.
"What's the matter Takumi, you look a bit … flustered" "You aren't sick are you?"
"No I'm not … Akira-kun please -please hear me out" Takumi said in a pleading voice.
"Ok, shoot" replied Akira, slightly concerned about his friend.
This is it … I am finally going to confess my love for him, Akira-kun, my roommate, my friend, my love.
His inner thoughts were in a heated debate … whether to confess a long time crush on his male friend and risk losing everything they had, which included the friendship that they had built since the first their first encounter or just pretend to ask about some homework and walk off. But had been suffering quietly for a long time, his heart would ache when Akira went on date with the campus girls, he would curse those girls who received Akira's signature thanks-for-the-date peck on the cheek and he had enough of it … it was time to confess.
Takumi could feel the blood rushing to his cheeks, he was well aware that he probably looked like a tomato, bright red. At that moment, his stomach was filled with butterflies but he didn't care, his attention was focused on the person in front of him, Akira … he took one last deep breath and he started his overdue confession.
"Akira-kun I-I-I love you…." His voice trailed off.
A simple three letter word, yet when faced with the person whom you desire more that anything else it takes a lot more courage to express it … because they are no longer just words but they are a window into your deepest feelings. Takumi finally understood what his sister meant.
Akira was clearly shocked, but he did not seem disgusted.
"Takumi I …." Those words were cut short by something. Soft lips pressing against his own, warm lips that belonged to his friend, Takumi. Akira reciprocated the kiss, entering his own tongue into Takumi's receiving mouth. Although it wasn't perfect, it was something which they could call their own, their first kiss.
They finally broke apart, both gasping for breath. Akira was determined to finish his earlier sentence …
"Takumi listen to me, I …" again his words were interrupted but this time by a pillow which hit Takumi's head with a light "thud"
"Oi Takumi, how long do you planning to stay in bed!" Akira said clearly sounding annoyed.
Instantly Takumi's eyes shot open as the memories of his dream came flooding back to him.
OMG DID I JUST HAVE A DREAM WHICH INVOLVED AKIRA-KUN AND I KI-KISSING? He thought to himself.
That can't be it, I wouldn't confess to Akira-kun and I wouldn't kiss him either because … he is a guy. Sure Akira-kun is attractive to both males and females alike … but I'm not gay… or am I?
Oh crap … I think I'm gay …don't freak out… don't freak out … I've got to act nor-normal…normal …
Who am I kidding? I am so screwed …
That was the last thought to cross his mind before he was rudely interrupted.
"Takumi I'm leaving with or without you in 5 minutes" said Akira while putting on his shoes.
It's going to be a long day…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have decided put the dream behind me … or at least try to push it out of my thoughts as much as possible … I can't start acting strange around Akira-chan .. I mean Akira-kun coughs …
"Ah Akira-kun wait for me" Takumi yells or tries to at least while he gets dressed with a piece of toast in his mouth.
"Nee … Takumi, you are getting crumbs all over the floor, it is gross" said Akira teasingly.
And now with Takumi fully dressed and ready for another day at Fuuka Gakuen, they leave their dorm room.
While making their way out of the dorm building they or rather Takumi … literally bumps into upperclassman / vice president of the student counsel, Kanzaki Reito.
This isn't turning out to be a good day … First I have a confession dream about Akira-kun and while I'm brooding over that dream, I bump into Kanzaki-sempai and knock a few books out of his arms.
"I'm sorry about that Kanzaki-sempai" Takumi says with an apologetic tone while helping to pick up those books.
"Don't worry about Takumi-kun, you seem to have a lot on your mind, maybe you would like to drop by the student counsel later and we could have a chat" replied Reito who is concerned about Takumi.
"Ah it's nothing, please don't worry about it" said Takumi with panicked tone "Let's get moving, shall we?" and with that said, the three boys continued walking.

Takumi's PoV
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've never noticed how well Akira-kun looks in the school uniform, actually he almost looks like a girl … well a flat girl… what am I thinking? Akira as a girl? That's impossible …but he if was a girl I'm sure he would be drop dead gorgeous. All this thinking makes me blush unconsciously…
"Hey Takumi are you alright? You seem to be a bit red around the cheeks, maybe you take a sick day" Akira asks while placing his palm on my forehead.
This of course causes me to blush even further, thank god I'm saved as we run into my sis. Thanks sis, I've never been so glad to see you.
I breathe a sigh of relief as we walk over to them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The three young men make their way over to Takumi's sister, Mai and her boyfriend, Tate.
Takumi lets out a small chuckle as witness his sister's 'daily ritual', which consists of Mai keeping away a feisty Shiho who insist on cling to Tate arm all the way to class, Shiho and her "maki maki" and Tate who is caught in the middle of everything.
Nee-san sure has a lot of energy every morning.
"Yo Takumi, could you help me out here" said Tate pleading …
"Ohayo Takumi" "HEY SHIHO THAT'S ENOUGH! LET GO OF HIS ARM" Mai snarled at Shiho.
Shiho being the immature person she is refuses to do so and sticks her tongue out.
"Good morning everyone" said an unknown voice.
The group turns around to see who is it … and it's non other than the President of the Student Counsel, Shizuru and there is another person behind her … the group takes awhile to recognize that person as Kuga Natsuki since her usually blue eyes are bloodshot and her uniform is disheveled.
"Natsuki what were you doing last night? You look horrible" asked Mai curiously.
"We were studying last night since Natsuki has been missing classes lately. Weren't we Natsuki?" replied Shizuru with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.
"Ermm, y-yeah we were" replied Natsuki who was slightly flustered.
"Anyway, everyone please meet in the Tea-club room after school today. I have something that needs to be discussed with all of you" said the Student Counsel President.
Before anyone had a chance to ask why, the first bell signaling the start of school rang.
"I expect everyone to be there" said Shizuru with a smirk on her face. "Now run along before I have to give each of you a tardy notice"
With that being said, they all sprinted to class barely avoiding the wrath of Shizuru.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The finally bell rang, Takumi along with Akira make their way to the Tea-Club room.
"I wonder why Shizuru-san asked all of us to meet" said Takumi who was slightly out of it, since his thoughts were elsewhere.
"Whatever she has planned it cannot be good…"replied Akira in a semi-serious tone.
"Ah welcome Akira-san, Takumi-san please have seat" said Shizuru cheerfully as Takumi and Akira entered the Tea-Club room.
Takumi's eyes wandered around and noticed a number of familiar faces.
Everyone from this morning is here as expected … hmm Chie-san and Aoi-san are here as well, Haruka-san and Yukino-san too and so is Mikoto-san. Let's hope everything goes well.
"Each of you must be wondering why I have asked you to come today" Shizuru continued
"As you all know the Fuuka Annual Festival is soon approaching, therefore Chairperson Mashiro would like to do something special this year. She has elected me to be in charge of the committee that is to carry out said special event"
"So I would like to welcome everyone to the Drama Club" Shizuru finished her little speech with a grin.
There was a moment of silence before everyone tried to stampede their way out but they were stopped by Shizuru's words.
"Before I forget, Chairperson Mashiro has said that anyone who refuses to cooperate with me will be immediately expelled" said Shizuru with an even bigger grin.
After hearing her words, everyone realized that they had been trapped. There was no way out now … everyone was now a member of the Drama Club whether they liked it or not.
Sighs could be heard throughout the room as the members came to accept their fate. It was going to be a festival no one would forget. Especially for Takumi and Akira.
To be continued...
