But with Yukito...they instantly clicked. Yukito was kind and smart, and had the sweetest smile Touya had ever seen. In no time they had become friends./p

Just as Touya had said, his father hadn't minded Yukito spending the night at all. And Sakura couldn't be happier, just half an hour ago she had brought some tea and cookies upstairs for them, as she knew Yukito would be hungry, even if they had had dinner only 3 hours ago./p

Truth be told, Yukito wasn't only his his best friend, he had feelings for the other boy that were much more than friendship, but he wouldn't be confession them anytime soon.

And he wasn't sure, but he could feel something strange about Yukito, he still didn't know what it was, but he wasn't a common person./p

Touya let himself admire Yukito for some seconds. The boy was so beautiful, he looked so serene and happy, and Touya wanted nothing more than to hold him in his arms forever. But he couldn't do that, so he just crouched a bit and tickled one of Yukito's foot lightly. He watched as Yukito laughed and turned to face Touya./p

But he specially loved when Yukito smiled at him when they were alone. The way Yukito smiled at him. It was different, he couldn't really explain how, but it was special. Yukito always looked beautiful when he smiled like that, more than ever./p
