And now I'm in an obsessive mood. I have to finish this tonight now, apparently. Oh well. There's only seven chapters, so hey!It's not like they're very long either…

Chapter 6

Eiji unlocked his dorms door and opened it. Once again, Ryo was sitting on his bed reading. He didn't even bother to look up as the red head entered, Oshi in tow.

"Hoi? Ryo?"

When the man on the bed looked up, Eiji had no chance to introduce Oishi.

"Oishi Syuuichiro!" Ryo gasped. "You know Eiji?"

"Whats so bad about knowing me?" Eiji demanded, but no one heard him.

Oishi blinked. "Ryo? Uh, yeah. I know Eiji. I've known him for a very long time. We're…"

"Don't tell me Kikumaru is the guy you were depressed about not being able to see anymore in high school?"

Eiji stared. This was…weird..and just what exactly was so wrong with him now?

"Ah, yes. That was Eiji…we were inseperable.."

The acrobatic tennis player was now moving over towards his part of the room to put his books on the shelf, listening with interest. So apparently Ryo and Oishi knew each other from high school. He would never imagine his room mate would know his- what exactly was Oishi to him? What was he to Oishi? Friend? Best friend? Something else? He had never had trouble bringing things up to Oishi in the past, so he made a mental note to find out about that later. Satisfied, he stepped back from the shelf. "All done, ready Syuuichiro?"

"Yes, let's go."

"Bye Ryo, be back later!" Eiji said shutting the door behind him.

When they were half way down the stairs, oishi began laughing.

"You put up with Ryo every day?"

Eiji nodded. "You know him? That's weird."

"Yeah, I know him. He was always second to me in high school. At first he was just annoyed with it. Then he got to think of me as great or something and followed me everywhere. He even tried to join tennis because of me…until he was working on his swing and smacked me right in the face…"

He paused when Eiji burst out in laughter. When the red head calmed down again, he spoke again. "So basically, he went from annoyed to annoying."
"Ne, Oishi. Did you graduate first in your class?"

"How did you know?"

"Just a guess.Was he second?"

"Third."
"Third?"

"Yeah." Oishi said opening the door at the bottum of the steps. " I was first, second was a home schooled guy…Ryo third, then Tezuka..and so on."

"Nya Oishi, what school did you go to?"Eiji asked. He felt his jaw drop when Oishi told him what school. "Oishi? Did I forget to tell you I was home schooled?" He asked.

He stopped and turned to look at Eiji. "You didn't-"
"I was under that same schools home schooling system! I graduated number two!"

"This is crazy. I've got to be going insane. I've completely lost it. Who are you? What happened to the Kikumaru Eiji I knew and loved-" He froze, realising what he said. "Back in middle school?"

Eiji laughed to show him it was no big deal. "He's here!" He placed his hand on Oishis chest, right over his hearts. "And I'm happy you're still the same oishi Syuuichiro that I love… Nya Oishi! You can love this Eiji too!"

Oishi smiled and nodded.

They made their ay towards Oishis car, and oishi muttered under his breath so that Eiji could not hear,

"I think I already do.."
