Yaoi Supporters

Risa Harada was startled when she realized her friend standing in front of her. Engrossed into her novel, she wondered just how long Satoshi Hiwatari had been standing there.

"Um... hi?" By looking into his eyes, she knew something was wrong. He sat down on the bench beside her, not even bothering to open his lunch. He merely flung it to the side. His face had paled more than normal, and Risa noticed the defeated look in his eye.

"What's wrong?" she asked, a bit of edge in her voice. "Hiwatari-kun, what happened?" Satoshi opened his mouth to respond, but something caught his eye and he grew quite. He held up a hand and shushed her as he spotted some fan-girls walking his way. He straightened up immediately and sent out a glace that said, "watch".

"Hiwatari! We need to talk to you," the girls squealed.

"What is it?" he asked calmly. Risa was impressed by the way he composed himself.

"Is it true that you and Daisuke Niwa are... together?" the leader whispered the last word scandalously. Risa's mouth fell open as Satoshi went rigid. Before he could even reply, the girls screamed.

"Oooooo! Hiwatari, we knew it!"

"Don't you even be ashamed. You know that ALL of us are here for you."

"Yes. I mean... we would never dump you just because of your sexual preference! That's just horrid!"

"If you ask me, there is nothing wrong with men liking men."

A teacher had to come by and disperse the girls because they were creating too much noise. When they walked away, Risa had no doubt that it would be all over the school by the final bell. She bit her lower lip, trying her hardest not to laugh, and looked over at Satoshi. His jaw was clenched.

"Well..." Risa started slowly, giggling the tiniest bit. "Umm... I-"

"I spend one day dressed as a homosexual, and now this." Satoshi looked like he was going to murder something. "It turns out that there are actually more people interested in me now than before. Fifty percent of the female population at this school support yaoi."

Risa couldn't help it. She laughed. "Who knew?"
