They were sitting in Kuronuma's room, the girls chatting away as they leaned against the bed. The two boys were leaning against the wall, not really listening to what the girls were saying. Ryu was half asleep while Kazehaya was still stuck on the text message he had gotten from Ryu.

'What does he mean by let's not tell them?' He wondered to himself, sneaking a look at the other boy. 'Does he not want anyone to know?' He frowned at that, what was he? Ryu's dirty little secret? He did not like that idea.

They had been there for awhile and it was getting late, they all mutually decided to go home. Kazehaya didn't understand why they came in the first place, it was boring and all they did was sit there. They parted from the girls and continued walking down empty street.

"What did you mean by 'let's not tell anyone'?" He asked innocently as he could. The taller boy look at him briefly before it returned to the street ahead.

"What it sounds like, I don't want to tell anyone."

The other pouted crossing his arms across his chest. "Why not?"

"Because."

"Are you ashamed of me or something?" Kazehaya stopped in his tracks and stared at the ground.

"M' not ashamed."

But then ,"why?" He wondered. "Why then?" Was this just a joke to Ryu, was he just playing with him?

"Why should we?" He stopped several paces ahead. He wore his usual plain expression as if nothing was wrong.

The first tear fell silently down the smaller boys' cheek . "Tell me why, why you don't want people to know." He raised his head up to look at the other boy. "Why?" He demanded.

"I don't want people to know." The taller boy had said it but was it really that simple? Especially since the boy across from him was now letting his tears fall freely down those smooth cheeks. "Sho-"

"No!" He shouted at him. "You said you're not ashamed but then why, why don't you want people to know?"

"Because!" He pushed his doubts aside, this wasn't the time to be all mushy. "They don't need to know, they won't understand anyway." Silence encased them as they both stared at each other. There were so many emotions running through them.

Sadness

Anger

Desperation

Confusion

"Why do you want people to know?" He prompted. Kazehaya looked away staring at the empty field next to them.

"Because…you're my boyfriend" He glanced back at the other boy, hoping to some sort of softening in his features, but there wasn't. He remained tense and almost outwardly upset. "I want to be able to do normal couple stuff an-"

"We would."

"No, you would pull away, if people did ask you would just deny it. I don't want to be with someone who is ashamed of me to be with me, who denies our relationship." They stared at each other, letting things calm down. Kazehaya had stopped crying, but his cheeks still held the stains.

"What does this mean?" Ryu asked.

"I-I think we need a….break….figure things out."

"How long?"

"'Til we both feel we have worked through our personal issues."

"Okay." With that he walked away from the smaller boy.

The other stayed put, he didn't want a break. He wanted things to be perfect, he wanted to be able to be out and free and be able to be with the boy he wanted to be with, without any problems.

But no, that was not going to happen. He started in a sprint back home, tears once again pouring out leaving an invisible trail in the air.
