Hiro", Shuichi whines in annoyance, "you could at least help me find my locker."

Hiro laughs, long auburn hair moving with him. "You'll figure it out Shu, I've got faith in you."

Shu rolls his eyes.

"And do your clothes have to be so revealing?" Hiro asks.

"Hey I told you to get used to the way I dress and besides my ass looks great in these shorts. I'm just relieved there's no dress code."

The principal of this school Tohma Seguchi is to thank for this. Shuichi wouldn't thank him for much else though. It's Hiro's turn to roll his eyes.

"Well good luck finding your locker I'm gonna find Suguru." And with that his map is off. Shuichi shakes his head, annoyed but amused. Hiro's got it bad for Suguru.

Finally finding his locker Shuichi starts to organize the multitude of new books he has. Someone opens the locker next to him, but he pays this no mind. At first.

"Tatsuha shut up for a minute, can't you see I'm looking for something? And your damn babbling isn't helping my endeavor."

"Eiri you're so mean! And where do you get off using such big words all the time?"

Shu chuckles a little at their bickering and doesn't notice the slip of paper that falls and lands next to Eiri's shoe. A locker closes and the paper is picked up and read. Shuichi feels a tap on his shoulder as he closes his locker securing his backpack and the few textbooks in his arms. Amethyst eyes look up into deep pools of gold.

The person who tapped him is much taller than his 5'5. Nice shoulders, clearly in shape with a beautiful face and a mop of styled blond hair on his head. For all intents and purposes he was a sexy walking wet dream. And then he opened his mouth.

"Are these your lyrics?" Shu takes a good look at the card in his hand and realizes that yes they're his, but they were written a long time ago. Him and Kayan were just playing around. Shu is about to answer, but that mouth continues.

"They're awful, judging by your clothes I'd say you want this to be your profession. Quit now and save yourself the embarrassment, you'll never make it in the music industry with crap lyrics like this."

Shuichi bites his lips and sends the blond an inquiring look, then he smirks. Eiri seems to be taken aback by this. He was probably expecting tears of anguish or something. Well tough luck. Shuichi snatches the lyrics with his finger tips and tilts his head.

"Eiri is it?" The blond nods once and Shuichi continues. "Three things, first off me and my best friend wrote those lyrics when we were like 10. Second I can write lyrics now that would leave even someone like you breathless and third." Shuichi steps closer putting a hand on the solid chest in front of him. Slowly he slides his hand up leaving it to rest on Eiri's cheek.

"You shouldn't be a jerk to people you've just met, because someday someone will come along and be an even bigger jerk to you." Shuichi trails a finger down his face and smiles.

"The names Shuichi Shindou and don't you forget it blondie." With that Shuichi walks past Eiri and the dark haired guy who looks just like him, he does need a schedule after all.

-

Eiri remains frozen in complete and utter shock. No one has ever dared to talk to him that way. To defy his gaze. And a short pink haired brat no less? Granted he was a good looking brat though. Built lithe body, smooth slightly tanned skin, and that belly button piercing... Not to mention his beautiful, beautiful face. Goodness his heart skipped a beat when those large amethyst eyes looked into his. Good luck trying to get him to ever admit it though.

He makes hearts skip beats, but his own has never skipped like that before. At least not since Kitizawa. That damn basterd. Eiri's heart starts to race at the thought of Yuki. He's gone. Its okay. He's dead and buried. Calm down. With his barrings gained once again his mind shifts back to the brat. He needs to know more about this Shuichi Shindou.

His twin brother burts out laughing which stops his train of thought. Scowling he looks at Tatsuha. "He's a little fire cracker isn't he? He told you off good! I should've recorded it!" Tatsuha laughs some more and Eiri's scowl deepens. "Come on idiot we have to get to anatomy."

Eiri still deep in thought sits at at a random desk, his brother quickly taking the seat next to him before one of his fan girls gets the chance. "So he was probably a new student. Never seen him around before. And that hair, that pink! I wonder if..." Tatsuha is cut of by the voice of a guy sitting in front of them.

"Are you talking about Shuichi?" Both the Uesugi twins snap eyes with one Hiroshi Nakano.

"You know him?" Eiri asks. Hiroshi nods. "He's one of my best friends, met him online. He had a pretty rough high school life so I asked if he could move here. He's staying with me and my mom."

"So I was right he is a new student Eiri had a run in with him earlier at their lockers."

Hiroshi smiles, "wish I could've seen that, I bet he suprised you." Eiri rolls his eyes and Tatsuha laughs once again.

A blur of pink flashes into the classroom room as Shuichi quickly takes a seat next to Hiro. "Great I made it, thanks for saving me a seat Hiro, Seguchi was talking so much and I didn't want to be late for my first class and..."

Shuichi trials off as he realizes that Hiro is half turned in his seat facing... "Oh I honestly didn't think I'd see you again so soon blondie."

Hiro laughs at the nickname. Shu smiles and turns his gaze to the guy with the black hair. He politely holds his hand out. "We haven't officially met." He nods smiling.

"I'm Tatsuha the twin brother of blondie here."

"Don't you start calling me that. It's bad enough that this brat.."

"Oh I'm a brat now? As I recall blondie, I had you tongue tied and ready to jump." Golden eyes narrow.

"Keep talking and I'll show you who can jump."

"I don't doubt you'd try your best, you won't manage it though." Shu's eyes are sparkling with a little excitement and fierce defiance as they clash with hardened gold.

The tension between the two is cut as the teacher enters the room, apologizing for his tardiness. Shu sends Eiri one more smirk, receiving a scowl in return, and turns to grab the correct text book. This new school was a big step for him. But Shu knows Kayan is proud. With the way things are going, it doesn't seem so bad.
