Sorry, I was on a really long holiday in Germany and I only just came back. The waiting time between chapters might grow a little longer now that the holidays are over, but I'll try to update within 2-3weeks.

His watch beeped seven and continued beeping three more times before Shin pressed a button to silence it. He had his first class at 9am today and it wouldn't do to be late. Moving about his morning routine he propelled his leg upwards and did 350 one-hand-stand pushups with each arm along with another 400 situps before going to wash up and shower.

They didn't get back late last night. It was only a little past one when they returned to the campus and went to their rooms. Shin being sleep conscious went to bed straight after showering. Lack of sleep was unhealthy and made you less attentive.

He stepped out of his room at 7:30 and gazed at the door opposite. Should he knock? Hiruma had kissed him back the previous night, but once the song ended, he acted as if nothing happened. They went back shortly after without much said, disregarding Alexon's claims of "Ha. I totally knew it!" and laughter as well as his "blessings for an everlasting love".

Only when Hiruma reveal a shaver did Alexon whip his hands to his hair with the speed of life and shut up. He squeezed as close to his side as the cab as possible, eyeing the tool that promised shame, agony and affliction wearily even after it disappeared back into Hiruma's magic pocket.

Shin ended up walking down the stairs to breakfast by himself, since Alexon mentioned that he didn't have class till 3 and probably wasn't waking up anytime soon.

Wandering to the building where Law lectures were held, Shin had to ask the people he saw around the building where his class was. Since it was only 8:00, there weren't many students around and unfortunately for him, some directions he received were wrong and was saved by a student who heading to the same class.

"So you're the exchange student? Well, I hope you enjoy your time here. And just a warning, keep away from the guy called Dwyane. He's a thickheaded bully. You might want to stay away from Hiruma too, even though he's from Japan like you. Word has it, he's gay, in case you don't swing well there and he's pretty much the antisocial-don't-get-in-my-way type. But seriously, more than Dwyane, don't pick a fight with Hiruma."

"Are there often fights?"

"Well, once in a while Dwayne and his gang would try to rile him up, but Hiruma never did anything because the professor always comes in and stops it. But if you asked me, the one the profesor was saving is Dwayne. Trust me on this one."

By the time they reached the class it was aroung 8:30 and there were already a few people in the back of the class laughing together and some more occupying the front benches, quietly reading their books. Hiruma was in the centre of the 3rd row with his laptop open and headphones around his neck, thrumming his fingers on the wooden table while he stared at the screen.

"Yo, Taylor! Get up here!" The group from the top beckoned to the helpful classmate.

"Coming." He called back. "Would you like to sit with us?" He invited Shin with a smile.

"No, that's alright. I'll be sitting in the centre of the 3rd row. Thank you for your help." Shin declined.

Looking up to where Shin had mentioned, Taylor's mouth fell open. "That's Hiruma. You sure you wanna sit there?"

"Yes."

"Well. . . okay. . . but be careful. He'll probably chase you off." Taylor chuckled. "What's your name again?"

"Shin Seijuuro."

"Nice to meet you, Shin." They shook hands and Taylor ran up to his friends and Shin calmly made his way to where Hiruma sat, seemingly oblivious that he had entered the room at all.

"Hey, Taylor who was that guy with you? He's hot! Is he new? Why didn't you bring him over here." A girl asked, glancing at Shin over and over again.

"Shush. We were gonna talk about something else! Taylor, did you notice that hickey on Hiruma? He never had came back with a hickey before! Do you think someone finally landed him?" Another girl asked, eyes gleaming and waiting for gossip.

"Haha, his name is Shin. He's an exchange student and will be here for two months. I did offer him to come and sit with us, but… look where he's going now." Taylor and his gang turned to watch Shin as he got to the 3rd row and started moving towards the center.

"No!" the first girl gasped. "He's gay?"

"Did you tell him about Hiruma?" A guy asked.

"Yeah I did. Oh well." Taylor shrugged.

Shin came up next to the dark-haired man and bowed his head. "Good morning, Hiruma-san."

His reply was a grunt and a dismissive wave of Hiruma's hand.

Smiling to himself, Shin sat down next to Hiruma and made himself comfortable. T he kiss mark he left was dark such that even under the shadow of Hiruma's chin, it was still clearly visible. He took out a notebook and a pen as he folded his arms on the table, waititing for class to start. All the while enjoying the presence of his loved one beside him.

"Looks like he's staying there. You owe me five bucks."

The first girl humphed dejectedly and handed the cash over. "It's always the handsome ones."

"Excuse you." The first guy said, sweeping his hair back from his face.

The girl looked at her friend for a moment and sighed, repeating the same sentence.

The peace of the class was broken by the door slamming open as Dwyane and his croons stepped in. There were mutters of disapproval from those infront that were distracted from their studying.

The big bully walked in with a cast on his arm. His friends came in behind him with bandages and plasters in different areas. Dwayne pinpointed Hiruma at his usual spot and growled. His gaze then shifted to the one that injured him and he backed off a bit.

However, seeing all eyes on him, Dwyane needed to do something so he walked up to the pair and banged one hand on the table.

"You roughed me up a little last time, fags. I'm gonna do you in good."

There was comical silence as Shin stared at him and Hiruma seemed to be ignoring him entirely.

Irritated at the situation, Dwayne slammed Hiruma's laptop shut, almost catching Hiruma's fingers if he hadn't pulled them out in time.

Shin made to stand but Hiruma placed a hand on his knee.

"Poor little buttercup got bruised and broken after he flipped a chair. Didn't pick it up either. Such bad manners. Whatever is he going to do now? Flip the table?" Hiruma tsked haughtily.

"Watch it." Dwyane growled.

But at that moment, the door opened and Professor Justide stepped in.

"Saved again, fag. Wait till I catch you all alone." Dwyane bared his teeth before he left.

Order resumed and class started. Hiruma reopened his laptop.

"Is it damaged?" Shin asked looking for any dents on the machine.

"No. These babies are harder than you think." Hiruma grinned.

So sorry if it was sorta boring. The next chapter should be more interesting.
