Pairing: Kohaku x Hakudoshi.
Summary:
It's Hakudoshi's first day of school, and he's not very psyched. With the constant nagging of his sister and the appearance of a certain boy on his mind, he struggles to overcome one of society's greatest challenges.

"Hakudoshi, you wanted to tell me something?"
"I did." He flushed.
Eye to eye, yet not a word.
Hakudoshi sighed, unzipping his backpack. "Wait."
"Hmm?"
"Cookies." Hakudoshi snapped one in half. This should calm me down!
Kohaku ate the larger piece.
"That's much better! Now, I can tell yo –"
He stopped, paralyzed by the feeling of Kohaku's lips against his cheek.
"That's what you've been after all day, isn't it?" Kohaku grinned toward the chocolate smudge he created.
"Erm, yeah. How did you know?"
"You're not exactly hiding it well. I saw you blushing in home ec!"
"Do you…like me?" Hakudoshi almost glowed.
"Why do you ask?"
"I know I like you, but do you really like me? Or are you being sympathetic?"
"Oh no, this is legit!" Kohaku rubbed faces with Hakudoshi. "Haku-chan!"
"Call me that again, and you don't get another cookie!"
"You're lying!"
He slapped his hand. "Try me!"
"I can fix that!" Kohaku practically tackled him. This time, he touched their lips.
Hakudoshi mumbled defiantly.
"How was your first day?" Kohaku snickered.
"It was good, I'll grant you. But tomorrow will be better!"
"Why?"
"Because we have swimming class tomorrow!" Hakudoshi drooled at the image of a shirtless Kohaku.
"Come on!" Kohaku tugged at Hakudoshi's arm. "I'll walk you home!"
Hakudoshi nodded, escaping the school walls with Kohaku. Everything around them drifted out of existence, serving only as their stepping stones.
