Nokoru let go of his pen and stretched his arms up as he yawned boringly. He stopped, expecting Suoh to yell at him and order him to go back to do the paperwork but instead he found the boy behind his desk, resting his chin on his hand and stared blankly at his computer's screen.

"Umm … could I have some break, Suoh?" Nokoru begged with low voice but he didn't know that it was so low that Suoh didn't hear him. He got up from his chair and walked slowly towards the secretary's desk, feeling curious at what the ninja were looking at. He stood behind his chair and stared at the screen with widen shocked eyes.

"What are you thinking about?" Nokoru mused surprising Suoh, who immediately stood up and covered the computer's screen with his back and his face turned bright red.

"F-for how long you've been standing behind me, Kaichou." Suoh swallowed hard and stared at Nokoru as he hides his smile behind his fan.

"Long enough to see what you were looking at, so tell me … did you write this poem?" Suoh blinked few times before he looked away to think of the perfect answer and at that moment Nokoru smirked and took it as a chance. He pushed Suoh away and leaned over reading the poem.

"It's about … me?" Nokoru blushed and pulled away, not daring to look at Suoh.

"I'm so-"

"I like it!" Nokoru interrupted him, still staring down at the floor.

"Ah! … th-thanks." Suoh thanked in daze and happiness at the same time, and Nokoru smiled back at him and stared at him in a way that Suoh didn't see him stare like this before.

Nokoru stepped closer after he said that and rested his hands on Suoh's shoulder then placed his lips over Suoh's. Hazel eyes opened wide, and before he could reacts Nokoru pulled away.

"Um, … gomen, Suoh I really didn't mean it." Nokoru blushed and turned around to leave, but Suoh held his arm and spun him around to face him again.

"What do you mean by you didn't mean it?" Suoh tightened his grip on Nokoru's arm with out feeling it. Nokoru fixed his gaze down while his cheeks were still burning.

"… I just … wanted to cheer you up." Nokoru glanced up at Suoh to see his reaction about his answer and found him unexpectedly smiling.

"Do you still want to cheer me up?" Suoh asked. Nokoru couldn't help but to smile back and when he did, Suoh tilted Nokoru's chin up and leaned over, pressing his lips softly against Nokoru's delicious lips. Nokoru cupped Suoh's cheeks as he kissed him back.

They broke the kiss and stared at each other. "Why were you crying yesterday?" Suoh asked few seconds later feeling concerned, still holding him.

"I- … really don't know, I guess I was stressed." Nokoru lied. He forced a smile then he bowed his head down so his protector won't see his saddened face.

"Is Yudaiji-san bothering you or something?"

"How could someone bother the one he love the most, Takamura-kun?" the two boys quickly backed away from each other when they heard that deep cold voice of Idomu.

"Idomu-kun, Suoh was just … concern about my safety."

"Can't he do it a little farther than that?" Idomu was commenting on their previous state, and they understood that he wasn't so pleased about it.

At night, Akira was forced to go back to the council room because he had forgotten his floppy desk inside his PC. It was dark when he got in, and he could feel the shivers that ran down his spine, and his gaze traveled everywhere, watching scarily.

"I'll just take the desk and go back." He said to himself as he moved towards his desk, "there it is." He smiled and took the desk, before he could move towards the door he found it so oddly opening by its own. "G-g-ghost!" He quickly hides behind his desk and he listened…… he could hear the foot steps getting closer to him and he also heard the door shut close.

"What do you want?"

Akira was about to show himself up when he heard that familiar voice. Nokoru's voice, but before he could he heard Idomu's voice too. He decided to stay still.

"I'm so disappointed in you."

"Yeah? … Then what?"

"I don't want that Takamura close to you."

"I can't help it, he's my secretary."

"Listen baby, if you want your clamp campus as perfect as ever, you have to do whatever I tell you." Idomu said, and then he smacked a kiss on Nokoru's cheek before he walked towards the door.

"Say what the hell do you want, Idomu-kun."

"You don't need a secretary."

Nokoru stared at Idomu's back with teary eyes. "Idomu-kun, this is not a solution for what you think it should be."

"Do it!"

Nokoru pleaded but Idomu ignored him and closed the door behind him as he left. The torn blond collapsed on his knees and sobbed. He felt that at this moment he was lost. He was breaking down. "… Why do I have to suffer like this, why?'

Akira's eyes was wide open, he couldn't believe what he has heard, what Idomu has said, and how Nokoru begged and how he's now crying. He wanted so bad to go and hold Nokoru in his arms, to tell him that he'll be ok, and that he won't let Idomu hurt him ever again… but!

He couldn't…

'Kaichou… I won't allow this to happen to you, I have to tell everything to Takamura-senpai.'

(Next morning)

Suoh walked slowly towards the student's council room. He reached the door and swung it open, and he startled lightly when he found the Kaichou's desk empty. He walked in and glanced at Akira who was so oddly sitting quietly on his desk.

"Good morning Ijyuin, did Kaichou come here today?"

"They just called and said that Kaichou won't make it today, he had a nasty fever yesterday."

"Oh!" Suoh frowned and walked towards his desk. He was upset about this news but he wouldn't show it.

Akira glanced at Suoh. 'I should have some courage and tell him.' Akira thought. 'If I want to save Kaichou from Yudaiji-kun, I should tell Takamura-senpai, for Kaichou, for Kaichou's sake…' Akira took a deep breath and stood up suddenly startling the brunette teenager.

"Ijyuin?"

"I- I have something important to tell you."

Nokoru rolled to lie on his side and stared at the white clouds through the window. Even when there was that fresh and cheerful morning's breeze filling his room he was so depressed, but he didn't want to feel this way. He has to be strong, no matter what happened, no matter how cruel his life is, even if it was turning into hell.

A tear fell down on his cheek, but he smiled as he remembered his handsome ninja, who was ready to protect him with his own life.

"Suoh, … if you happened to know what I'm gonna do? Would you hate me? Would your strong feelings towards me stop? …… I don't want this. I need to feel loved, because I feel so bad-" Nokoru stopped and lay on his stomach, grasping his pillow hard as he buried his face into it and cried. "I feel … so bad."

"Nokoru-sama… Takamura-san wanted to see you, may I let him in?" he heard the maid call behind the door. He quickly sat up on his bed and dried his tears and drew a fake smile on his lips.

"Let him in." Nokoru ordered. He waited few seconds and the door opened. Suoh stepped in and walked towards Nokoru's bed. Nokoru felt something strange seeping throughout his body as he watched Suoh walking gracefully closer to him. He couldn't move his eyes away from him neither did Suoh.

"How do you feel now? Do you still have fever?" Suoh asked with a low gentle voice, while he leaned and touched Nokoru's forehead with his palm.

"Don't worry about me, Suoh … I'm ok. Glad that you came." Nokoru could feel the blood rushing into his cheeks.

Suoh pulled his hand away and sat on the edge of the bed. "Of course I came, I got worried when I didn't find you there, and also…"

"Also?"

"Why did you lie at me?"

"L-lie? What're you talking about?" Nokoru stared innocently at Suoh.

"About Yudaiji-kun … you don't like him, but you're dating him, and what does that mean?"

"Hmmm … … that's mean that I'm in love with someone else?" Nokoru asked and held his chin thoughtfully, confusing Suoh.

"Kaichou?"

"Suoh, I want to tell you something…" Nokoru said. Seriously this time, staring deeply into Suoh's hazel eyes, Making Suoh blink many times in confusing, feeling completely tense as he did.

"Tell me something? Kaichou, did Yudaiji-kun do something to you?"

"IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT GUY!" Nokoru opened his eyes wide when he realized that he lost his temper. He sighed and stared down at the blanket. "It doesn't concern him … it's about us." He said much softer.

"Us?" Suoh was more worried now that it was about Nokoru and him. It started to scare him, and he could feel his body heating up.

"… Suoh, I know you since a long time, you protected me since then, and you were my first friend. We were always together, cared for each other, and thinking that someday we'd break apart scare me, not back then, but it scares me now, since I had been through it … when you left." Nokoru took a deep breath and gripped his fan to give him more courage.

"… If something happened, if anything like that happened again, I mean … if our fate parted us again, I want you to know that I …" Nokoru stopped and shut his eyes tight as his body shivered strongly.

"K-Kaichou…"

"I want you to know, Suoh … that I love you." Nokoru admitted it, and opened his eyes to look at Suoh's and see his reaction, but then all he could've seen was dark. Second had passed and he realized that he was in Suoh's arms. Knowing that, Nokoru buried his face deeper into Suoh's shirt, which started to soak with his tears.

"Kaichou, finally my dream come true, even though I doubt that this isn't only a sweet dream." Suoh whispered as he tried to fight his tears back. He simply couldn't believe that Nokoru was in his arms. He couldn't believe that Nokoru loves him. To Suoh … it was a dream.

"I'm sorry that I noticed it too late." Nokoru said and looked up at Suoh, with smile on his wet lips, because of the tears. "…And don't call me Kaichou … Nokoru is just fine." As he said that he sat straight and leaned forward until his lips touched Suoh's. The ninja was stunned, his heart would explode anytime because of the strong beats, but he reacted seconds later and held Nokoru tighter, then laid him gently back on the bed while they're still passionately kissing. Suoh bites Nokoru's lower lip making the later gasp and he took it as a chance to deepen the kiss.

"Nokoru, I love you." Suoh said after they broke away.

"Show me!"

"The night sky ilooks beautiful, isn't it … Suoh?" Nokoru asked sadly as he lay on his bed and his face was turned towards the still opened window, which eventually closed by his defender.

"It is, but I'll close this now since it started to get cold." Suoh said as he finished closing the window and approached Nokoru who was still staring at the now closed window.

"Are you leaving?" Nokoru asked then turned his face to finally look at his lover who leaned over him slightly

"Yes! It's already late, and they must be wondering what took me so long in here." Suoh leaned more and kissed Nokoru gently on the cheek, which shocked the blonde.

"S-Suoh…"

"See you tomorrow, we have lots of work, one day of absent means lots of paperwork waiting." Suoh smirked, Hearing that made Nokoru pout. "Good night Kai- … I mean, Nokoru."

"Goodnight." Nokoru watched Suoh leaving, and as the later was gone, Nokoru sat up and his tears started to fall down. "I'm sorry, Suoh."

"I'm so sorry."
