Chapter 3

"Hanamichi! Hanamichi! Do you hear me? Wake up!" Hanamichi was shook real hard until he jolt awake from his sleep as beads of cold sweat dripped down his tanned face. Suddenly, tears rolled down his boyish face as he fell into the arms of a blue-eyed merboy.

"Akira's in pain… I can feel it. I think he hurt himself; on the stomach and his tail."

"How is it possible for you to feel what he feels?" Hanamichi's partner hugged him tight as he stroked his long red hair. He sighed. "He will be fine. Didn't he tell you he would come for you?"

"Yeah… but it's been so long… like more than a year… I want to go up…"

"But your father will scold you." They pulled away a little.

"I don't care. I want Akira." Hanamichi said in a childish tone.

"And I want you to stay, here with me."

"But-"

"Please."

Hanamichi snuggled into his arms as the both of them breath into each other's long hair.

As Sendoh got back from the hospital, he changed into his long-sleeved shirt and long pants.

The doctor had given him a two weeks' off from school. Now I could stay at home and make Hiro-kun happy. But… what did I do to make him so angry…?

He walked painfully down the stairs and cleaned up the messed he had made in the kitchen. He left the medicine on the table in the kitchen as he walked into the living room.

Must not let Hiro-kun know…

As he called for a pizza, the door clicked open revealing Koshino behind it. Sendoh put down the phone and went over to Koshino's side.

"Hiro-kun… um… look I messed up the kitchen, but don't worry I've got the pizza and I-" The door of their room slammed shut as Sendoh stopped in his tracks. He then winced at the immense pain in his stomach and legs as he lied down on the sofa.

------

As he lied there for a couple of hours, the pain began to subside and he could stand up again. The pizza had came and as he paid for it, he limped to the dining table and put the pizza down. He took a few bites out of the single piece and ate his medicine.

Just then, Koshino came down from his room. Sendoh hurriedly pushed his medicine into the container of cookies.

"Hi Hiro-kun. There's pizza on the table. You can eat it if you want. I have to stay at…" He trailed off as Koshino grabbed the box of pizza and went into this room.

After a few minutes, he threw a pillow out to Sendoh and closed the door. Sendoh winced at the pain as the pillow hit his stomach. He picked it up and went to sleep on the sofa.

------

The whole house has been in a mess ever since Koshino ignored Sendoh four days ago. Sendoh, with his wounds, has been doing all the work. He washed the clothes, cook the meals, bought the food, did the laundry, swept the floor, cleaned the whole house until it was sparkling clean. He did all he could to make Koshino happy but to no avail. Koshino just kept ignoring him.

After Sendoh had finished washing up, he limped to Koshino's bedroom and put a box of white chocolates on the pillow. He put a letter on top of it and went off.

As Sendoh limped down the stairs, the door clicked open revealing Koshino. A second later, another person walked in.

"Fukuda…!" Sendoh stopped in his tracks on the stairs with eyes wide open. Koshino never let anyone into our house… well except for the both of us but… what…? Why?

Sendoh walked down the stairs quickly and put the pillow that he has been resting his head on every night and tidy out the coffee table.

"Hi… Fukuda. Hiroaki… have you had your dinner yet?" Sendoh took the bags which were pushed to him and put them on the floor leaning against the side of the sofa.

"Come on Fukuda-kun, lets do our project in my room." Koshino pulled Fukuda up to his room without answering Sendoh's question.

"Hai." Fukuda answered and he turned his head to look at Sendoh… and saw a blank look on his face.

After he was inside Koshino's room, he stood beside the bed and started taking off his clothes.

"Hiro-kun, I need a little help here…"
