« That wasn't nice. I know you didn't mean anything but please let him be. »

Now that they were back in class, Yi prefered to make this clear to his classmate. Obviously Yone never tried to be mean but nonetheless, a simple question had pushed Yasuo to go away reluctantly. Anyway, all this was sibling interaction and he wasn't one that would parent them, obviously they knew each other more than he did. Still, he was a bit grumpy.

All this would need a lot of kisses and hugs after lunch to make it up. And to give him the shirt. Oh this would cheer him up, he was certain.

« I know, I'll apologize at lunch. Just it's really cute how he is around you, so difficult not to react to that. »

« Understandable but it's not a good reason. Although I admit he's quite endearing everytime I see him. » The soft sigh escaped him, truly he had it bad for his boyfriend.

« Well, you never had to deal with him directly after he woke up. I don't think you'll find him so eandearing. » There was still that fondness that happened sometimes in family, despite the harsh teasing and semblance of fights.

« True but again, this won't be an issue. I still think he's cute no matter the time of the day. »

Again class started to they had to remain rather discreet in their conversation.

Yone came back to that, a hint of a smile as if he already knew the result from experience : « Do as you wish but Yas is the worst when it's too early. You will soon find out. By the way, are you planning to come over for a night ? »

Looking back, Yi found there a certain curiosity but also mischief of an older brother enjoying the gossips and latest news of the family.

Good question. It seemed rather impossible to do. No doubt he would be welcomed at their place without any problem but the issue was Yi's parents. How could he present that ? Like a sleepover ? This wasn't likely to pass without questions and he knew it. On the other hand, he was 18, technically an adult, he could very well choose to spend a night elsewhere as long as he planned it.

« We aren't. I'm not sure my parents would agree, no matter how much we try. Maybe after the exams though. » Deep in thoughts, he left a few aloud.

« Hmm, yeah. You know, you can always get the excuse of studying with me. I don't mind, if that way Yas can get laid. »

Not every time Yi would glare at him but this was one of the few occasion. Hopefully they merely whispered so no one could even catch what they said but he was shocked all the same. Stop.

In any case it was too late. Shame struck him lightly but what was even the point ? Of course Yone would understand as much of their afternoon all alone in the flat.

Needless to say that stare was good enough answer, because Yone backed off and surrended quietly : « Hey, fine, I'm sorry. But don't try to say nothing happened, I'm not dumb. »

Another sigh went, defeated. Yi wouldn't hold a grudge on that, he was just not very ready to hear that his friend and classmate was aware of such developments. Please… Not about the private side but just to know they could be at peace together. No need to scream on the roof that they had fun already.

« Would you bring this up to Yasuo ? No. Then I don't know you why feel the need to mention that. As he said, mind your own business, please. » Alright, maybe a tad of annoyance came up too but it was that or a deep blush right in the middle of a class and Yi wouldn't let this happen. For once he failed to remain composed, it had to be there.

« I said I'm sorry ! Won't mention it again. » Now Yone did seem a bit guilty, more quiet than usual as he focused on class. Then he leaned closer to whisper : « Next round of coffee is on me. »

« Sorry too, it's not your fault. Just stay out of this, it's already a bit difficult to manage with parents like mines. I wish it was easier… »

At least he could vent a little, Yone was someone he could trust. No hard feelings, they returned to chat quietly.

« Like I said, I can invite you home, even if it's to spend the whole time with Yasuo. They can't stop you from studying with a classmate. »

« Yes, you're not wrong. At least there is this possibility. Maybe not too often but I'll try when I can. »

« Hey, soon it will be the calm before the storm. Plenty of time to 'study', if you want to. » Tiny emphasis on the ''study'', as if it wasn't obvious enough.

« I both dread that time and hope it will happen fast. At least classes will be over. »

This short period about a week or two depending on the year of the student was used to study one last time intensely before exams. For the younger students it was just early vacations but for their elders, this was the beginning of the end, a huge time of anxiety. The good side as Yone pointed out would be that he could get to visit the brothers during the week. The bad side, Yi's parents could get even more strict and serious about revisions. I hope it will go well… All this truly made him wish for that crap to be over, no more classes, no more exams, only freedom and time to spend with Yasuo.

« Yup, same. Gonna be hell. »

And so went the conversation, while Yi's thoughts drifted slowly to his boyfriend. Really he missed him. Lunch break couldn't happen fast enough. He still remembered that safely in his bag was kept one of his shirts, at the intention of Yasuo. Hopefully he would be pleased to have it.

Lovely darling. Miss you…
