A/N: Haaahaaa~ Okay, so I know I said to be expecting more updates, but I procrastinated.. a little.. okay a lot. I still need to upload my Valentine's day story! D:

Please forgive me, oh wonderous fans. I am not worthy.

Disclaimer: Still don't own. ; o;


3:More Introductions.

Hiroki's POV.

"Please take me with you!" Shinobu cried. I'm sure I'd told him no about a thousand times already, though.

"I thought I already told you, the answer is no." I said, starting to walk out of my small office, only to get trapped by Miyagi.

"Let my little Shinobu-chin do what he wants." Miyagi said. Shinobu begging I was used to, but both of them begging at once? How fair was that?

"Fine, let's go. But I have to get Nowaki first. He needs a ride from work. Get your stuff." I said, picking up my coat and putting it on. Then, I picked up my bag, and started walking out of the building to get to my car.

I walked out the door, being followed by them. We got in my car; they sat in the back, knowing that the passenger seat was for Nowaki.

"Why were you so grumpy about taking us, anyway, Hiroki?" Oh, they would see soon enough.

"Hiro-san!" Nowaki called, getting in the car. He obviously didn't care that Shinobu and Miyagi were with, because he kissed me on the cheek as soon as he was safely buckled.

I'm pretty sure I looked irritated the whole drive to Misaki's house. "Here we are." I said, running up to the house and ringing the doorbell after getting out of the car. Misaki opened it, and Akihiko was clinging to his side.

"Ah! Hiroki, Nowaki and.. two.. others?" Misaki said with a blank face. That's right, he had never had Miyagi as a teacher, so he might not have heard of him.

"Oh, this is Miyagi Yoh and his boyfriend, Shinobu Takatsuki." I said, looking at the two.

Misaki smiled. "All right. I'm guessing you came to meet Usagi-san? And as for you Usagi-san, get off of me." He said. I could tell that they liked each other, but they were aparently to oblivious to notice it.

"Nah, I don't think I will." Akihiko said. Misaki sighed. He let us into his house, and showed us into the living room. After sitting down, Shinobu asked why Akihiko was living with Misaki. And, of course, we explained his situation.

Misaki stood up. "I'm going to make tea." Akihiko grabbed him by the arm.

"You're not going to run away are you?" He asked. Misaki looked at him funny. After seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh a bit.

"Why would I run away? I'll be right back, I promise." Misaki said, and then walked into the kitchen, coming to us with the tea shortly after. Akihiko smiled fondly. And, that was a bit weird, because he barely ever smiled.

Misaki sighed, and Akihiko looked at him. "What's wrong?" He asked. Misaki looked at him. He didn't give an answer until after Akihiko repeated it. "I said what's wrong."

"Nothing.. I just.. ugh.. I'm going to my room." Misaki said, heading upstairs immediately. Akihiko went after him, but Shinobu stopped him.

"I'll go. It could be stress from school, which I'm going through right now too." Shinobu said, although I'm sure all of us except Akihiko knew that it was something else. Something completely different.

Shinobu ran upstairs, and we continued talking.


Shinobu's POV

"Oi, Misaki, what's up? Can I come in?" I said, knocking at his door. He opened it slowly, and I saw tears on his face. 'So.. c-' I didn't let myself finish. I knew that I thought over guys were cute sometimes, but I loved Miyagi.

"It.. It's nothing." He said, looking at me with a tearstained face. I laughed a little and he looked at me with a face that said 'Why are you laughing at me?'.

I sighed. "Misaki, you can't fool me. Now, what's wrong?" I said, looking at him. I had a feeling that I already knew, but I was afraid that if I guessed and got it right he'd be embarrassed, so I left it alone.

"I.. I think I like Usagi. He's so nice, and even though he's so annoying sometimes, he just acts like he's perfectly happy with his life, which he probably isn't." He said, looking at me. "He's just.. so strong. But I don't know how he feels.. so I.." He stopped there. I laughed inside my head. This kid really was oblivious.

"Listen, you don't know how he feels, so calm down. I promise that it'll get better." I said, knowing that Akihiko liked him back. They would find out, somehow. "That's exactly how I felt about Miyagi.. Listen, I'll be your friend and help you through it, becasue I know how hard it is." I said, smiling at him.

"Alright.. let's go back downstairs." He said, and I smiled and nodded. That is what we should be doing. We walked down the stairs, and Misaki took his place next to Usagi again.

"I'm sorry about that.. I wasn't feeling well.." He said, and I laughed a little at his excuse. I got a few whispers from the others.

"Was it like we thought?" They whispered, and I nodded. We laughed a little, and then looked at the two.

"Oh.. Misaki, here's my phone number." I said, writing it down and handing it to him. He smiled, then nodded.

We all left shortly after, and it seemed Misaki was back in the cheerful state that I had met him in. He was such an interesting man.
