"Well, kiddo, your school seems bigger than the one back home doesn't it?" Yosak grinned, his light blue eyes sparkling as he watched Wolfram take in the central building of his campus and its surrounding greenery with suppressed awe.

"Why don't you visit the library first," Conrart suggested. "We'll meet you back here in half an hour."

Nodding in agreement, he hurried up the steps and entered the huge yet ancient building that had been equipped with state of the art technology for the sake of all students. After touring the ground floor and nearly getting lost in the process, he ascended the first set of spiral steps available. When he realized that half an hour would not be sufficient to view the entire library, his pace increased as he continued to scan the different selection of books, determined to have a basic outline of what belonged where….

The first thought that passed through his mind once the daze of falling had cleared was that the marble floors of the library seemed to be quite warm despite the air-conditioning, and it felt as though it was moving.

When it finally clicked that he had actually landed face first onto some stranger's chest, a slight pinkish hue of embarrassment brushed across his cheeks only to darken with anger when his brain had fully translated and processed the Japanese apology that was uttered.

"I. Am. Not. A. Girl." he bit out through clenched teeth while glaring at the boy beneath him before pushing himself up. "Wait! What are you doing?!" he snapped when the Japanese boy reached out his right hand towards his face with a glazed look in his pure black orbs.

To say that he was gently brought back to reality would have been an understatement when the person before him slapped him across the left side of his cheek. Blinking twice to clear the fogginess in his head, he realized what had initiated the daze he was in.

"Ah, gomen. It's just that you look like a girl…."

Yuuri trailed off into silence before letting out a self-conscious chuckle while scratching the back of his head when the bishounen in front of him bristled and hissed, "Shut up, you wimp!"

"Don't call me a wimp!" he retorted, feeling a sense of déjà vu as those words spilt from his lips.

"That's it! Both of you, get out of the library right now before I ban you for the semester!" the librarian shouted before either of them could continue, towering above both boys with a look that said she was serious.

In a darkened corner, Murata rolled his eyes at the blond beside him as they watched Shibuya and the other boy gave the librarian a hurried bow before rushing out of the library and away from the gathering crowd of curious students.

"Don't look at me like that," his companion chided with gleaming blue eyes. "I am completely innocent this time."

"Sure, I believe you," Murata snorted. "After all, one of them just happened to trip over your foot."

"Are you happy you got us kicked out? I wouldn't have been bothered if it was just you, but to include me… Argh!! You wimp!"

"Don't call me a wimp! My name's Yuuri Shibuya!"

"Whatever, wimp. Goodbye."

"At least give me your name! That way I could treat you to a meal to make up for my mistake!" Yuuri yelled out desperately at the retreating figure, who merely ignored him.

"I wouldn't mind if you treated me to dinner, Shibuya. After all, isn't your best friend more important than some pretty boy you just met?" Murata commented from behind, making him jump a foot in the air.

Turning around, he frowned at the bespectacled boy. " I don't swing that way. Besides, I think I've met him before…somewhere…"

"Hmm…maybe in your dreams," Murata muttered, rolling his eyes as he dragged his friend towards the cafeteria.

"Oh, Wolfie darling, do tell mother about your day. How was the university like? Did you meet any handsome men? I'll bet they are all falling for you and can't wait to get their hands on you!" his mother exclaimed happily over the phone as he held the earpiece away from his ear when his mother let out a squeal of delight.

"The only people I met today were Gunter and a wimp who mistook me for a girl," Wolfram sighed with slight annoyance as he used a fork to drive the carrots on his plate left through the gravy.

"Isn't that sweet?! My baby's all grown up and having a relationship and calling his sweetheart pet names!!" Cheri cooed, apparently getting the wrong message.

Wolfram could feel his eyebrow twitch when he caught Conrart and Yosak exchanging amused glances. "He is NOT my sweetheart, mother. He's just some idiotic wimp I ran into."

"No need to be shy about it, darling. After all, you know mother doesn't mind who you get involved with as long as he treats you properly!"

Trying his best to fight against the blush that was creeping up on his face, Wolfram shoved the phone to his brother after a hurried farewell to his mother.

He was back in that huge room once again and his obsidian eyes were immediately drawn towards the beautiful yet broken figure that lay in a pool of blood and silvery moonlight. As his fingers trailed against the smooth yet achingly cold face, he could feel his heart shattering into a million pieces as a single name slipped from his lips.
