Shun

When all you wear is the same thing almost everyday of the week finding something to wear on a date is a little hard. I pulled all my clothes and stared down at them. It was just Yuuta. He wouldn't care, right? But a voice in my mind was saying it's because it's Yuuta that you care so much. I leaned against my bed. I still I had time, the date was tomorrow. I'd go buy something. The money my mother had given me for clothes sat on my dresser untouched. I shoved it into my pocket and walked outside. No one was home right now. I didn't leave a note, but kept my phone on.

Downtown tons of couples were holding hands. It was getting near that holiday season. They say you should find your first love by the first snow of your last year in high school. I'd always believed that for some reason. Now I was glad that I kept on believing. Some silly things I thought were actually the truth, like kisses feeling like strawberry marshmellows and holding hands letting you feel someone's heart. I walked into the first clothing store that popped up. I sifted through racks of clothing without finding anything that caught my eye until I looked across the store and spotted Yuuki reading a manga outside the dressing room. Yuuta was here.

I debated whether I should leave or not. Instead I waved Yuuki over. He got this wide eyed look on his face. "Yuuki-kun I don't know what to wear for tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" He looked toward the dressing room. "Oh you and Yuuta are going somewhere?" I nodded. "Yuuta like the color red on you. Now go somewhere else." He forced me out of the store. I made my way farther into the sea of lights and people. I looked in a display window and spotted the perfect red sweater. I rushed in. The last one was a little big, but it was what I wanted. I walked home clutching the bag to my chest. I smiled to myself. Yuuta wanted to look nice for me too. Maybe he'd wear blue. He looked best in blue.

Yuuta

I looked down at the blue sweater Yuuki convinced me into buying. He said Shun likes blue. I folded it into a neat square before walking into the bathroom. The bath was nice and hot. Here I could think. How was I going to survive with Shun all alone? I was afraid of what I might do. I didn't want to scare him away. I just couldn't think of Shun doing anything remotely sexual. Even his kisses were light, cute butterfly kisses. I wasn't sure how I was going to handle this. I'd tried to think of something for two weeks to no avail.

I poured hot water down my back and stared into the mirror. I could do this. I wanted to stay with Shun so I would do this. I had no choice. I slipped down into the tub and closed my eyes before sliding under the water.

Yuuki

Yuuta was in the bath when the call from Kaname came. "Yes?" I flipped through the same manga for the third time. I really needed some money.

"I want to know what's going on." What the hell was he talking about? "Between Yuuta and Shun." Oh. He'd realized.

"Only if you buy me a manga." I heard him sigh.

"Are you going to come out to get it with me?" I didn't think he'd agree so easily.

"Yes. Right now?" He made a noise somewhere between a growl and a grunt.

"Yes." I sighed. "Look you want the manga or not?"

"No need to get your panties in a bunch. Meet me in 15 minutes." I hung up and pulled my clothes on. I slipped out the front door unnoticed. The air was starting to get brisk. I pulled my hood up and shoved my hands in my pockets.

I noticed Kaname awkwardly standing near the manga flipping through something stupid. He looked up as I walked over. "So what's going on?"

"You sure don't waste any time." He narrowed his eyes. I walked over to a shelf and held up a book of two boys hugging. "Love."

"What!" People looked over and he lowered his voice. "How long have you known?"

"Well I've known since we were all little, but they didn't start going out until a couple weeks ago, but you already suspected that right?" He nodded. I picked out the manga I wanted and walked up to the counter. "They're going on a date tomorrow. Yuuta didn't tell me where though." Kaname looked a little disappointed. "What it's not like we could follow them anyway. Plus they need they're privacy. What if you see something you don't want to. You'll lose your innocent view of our little Shun." Kaname pulled out his wallet and sighed.

"For once you're right." He paid for the manga and walked out of the store with me. "Don't you think it's weird?"

"I wish I had someone I liked. You've always been the one to have a crush on someone out of all of us. Sometimes I think I'm asexual." Kaname looked at me for a minute.

"Girls like you. You'll find someone eventually." I sighed. Eventually. That sounded so far away.

"Yeah I guess so." I kicked the dirt. "Well thanks for the manga. See you." I walked back home a little more depressed than when I left.

Kaname

I never thought Yuuki cared much about love. Looks could be deceiving I guess. I just thought he didn't want to be bothered not that he was bothered by the fact that he didn't like anyone. Love, huh? I'd always liked someone just like Yuuki said. Nothing ever came of it though. I felt that was more sad than what he was going through, but what did I know. What was worse loving with no result or not loving at all? Not loving at all did sound worse...How come I'd never noticed how Yuuta felt about Shun? I always considered me and Yuuta to be the closest but I guess I was wrong. There was really no way to compete with a twin anyway. I closed my eyes. I'd sleep on everything and it'd become clear in the morning. At least that's what I told myself.
