Dedicated to: Usamisan8-D who is one of my bestest friends in real life. And of course my Chibi-tan, who continues to deny liking yaoi. Of course Usamisan8-D and I made her confess to liking it. Good times, good times. And my hero, Kanou from Okane Na Gai. No, seriously.

Special Thanks to: Usamisan8-D for requesting this new little drama with Terrorist. And Nikki for letting me harass, er talk to about what coming out to your parents is like. I know for you, it was more awkward cause of the religion thing. You got balls, my friend.

That afternoon Shinobu didn't ask to go home with Miyagi. His father would have thrown a fit. Luckily his father thought he was just lusting after Miyagi, and his feelings weren't being returned. As long as Miyagi didn't get into trouble, Shinobu was okay with whatever his father thought of him.

He leaned against his father's car, waiting for the principal to leave the building. He usually got a ride from Miyagi, since his father did love to talk with other teachers. And he really didn't quite know when to stop. Finally he did, and stopped at the sight of his son waiting for him. Shinobu tapped his foot impatiently, hoping his father would take the hint and come out of shock.

Then Miyagi appeared, passing his father on the way to his car. This just happened to be beside the principal's.

"Hey, brat," Miyagi said, as if nothing had happened, "You going home with your old man today?"

"Yeah," Shinobu replied, running a hand through his hair. He looked back to his father, "Oi, you coming?"

The car ride home was uncomfortably quiet. Not something common with the older man who loved to drone on and on.

Shinobu's sister made dinner that night. Her new boyfriend showed up, reminding everyone how pathetic it was that she still lived with her parents at age thirty.

"How was your day?" she asked their father who didn't seem to have a real name.

He glanced at his son before muttering, "Okay." He wasn't in his usual annoying talky mood.

"I kissed your ex-boyfriend today," Shinobu said, breaking the ice, "You were right, he is good."

Two sets of stares met him when he looked up from his plate. His father was instead looking down at his Ramon with slight interest.

"You mean Miyagi?" she asked.

"Of course,"

"No, you didn't!"

"I did,"

"He didn't even kiss me that much!"

"Ask dad, he was there,"

"That's enough Shinobu," his father said, standing up, "I don't want to hear another word about him."

"I told you earlier, I really like him, dad." He said, reminding him of the talk they'd had in the hallway earlier.

"Stop saying that!"

"That's not fair, dad. You let her date anyone she wants!" Shinobu said, pointing at his sister, Miyagi's ex girlfriend.

"That's different!"

"Why?" his sister asked, taking Shinobu's side.

"First off, Shinobu, you are a student and he is your teacher. Second, you're under age."

"And?" his sister growled, "Just try to tell me honestly it's not his gender?"

"Okay, fine. That does have something to do with it. But, honey, honestly why do you care so much. This is your ex-boyfriend we're talking about."

"Because this is my brother! He should be able to date anyone he wants!" she snapped, "Besides if anyone can break though the shell Miyagi's built around himself, they must really be somebody. If you can, Shinobu, than you have my blessing to do whatever you want."

"Thank you," he said, before looking at his father, "Dad?"

"I don't like it. It's just too… weird."

"Dad!"

"Okay, fine, you have my blessing to do whatever you want with your life. But this doesn't mean I approve. In fact, I never want to hear about it again. And leave Miyagi alone, I'm sure he doesn't want anything to do with this. Even if he is… like you, he could get into a lot of trouble if anyone thought there was something going on there."

"Thank you, dad," Shinobu said, before looking at his sister. She had reattached herself to her boyfriend. He wasn't sure what to make of her, or why she was soo okay with him and Miyagi. Of course she probably didn't expect anything was actually going on. He'd tell her later of course, because she had always been there for him. Then again, that's what big sisters were for.

"You are way too direct," Hiroki said, trying to ignore Nowaki's recent outburst.

"Do you hate direct people? I can change." Maybe that's what Hiroki hated the most. The fact that Nowaki seemed to worship him like a god.

"Chill out." Hiroki replied, "And don't think this means we're dating! I only said I'd give you a chance. That's it!"

"I'm happy with anything, Hiro-san. As long as I can spend time with you."

"Will you stop saying things like that?! It's embarrassing."

"Okay." Nowaki said. Nowaki made everything weird, that was one of the first things Hiroki had noticed about him. That and his hands were so much like Usami's, except they were big, warm, and totally different if you really looked at them. But regardless.

Nowaki also always seemed to be happy. That's what annoyed Hiroki the most. He was like one of those cheerleaders, living in a false reality where everything was rainbows and sunshine. He was the complete opposite of Hiroki. Not even the type of person he could like, really. Yet, he didn't feel like he could tell the boy no. Or tell Nowaki to leave him alone anymore.

Nowaki was a drug. Once you did him a couple times, you couldn't stop. He was addicting. He was horrible. Hiroki couldn't get enough.

Sumi: So, how was it?

Misaki: what?

Sumi: You went to Akihiko's right? How was it?

Misaki: Okay, I didn't learn anything. We watched yaoi. That's about it.

Sumi: !!! You watched yaoi! With Usami!

Misaki: Yeah, so? That's not gay.

Sumi: Ah, yeah it is.

Misaki: No way. Straight people watch yaoi. It's not gay, a girl probably wrote it.

Sumi: yeah, a girl! As in, a Fangirl who gets hot off it.

Misaki: I'm not gay.

Sumi: Than you're a girl.

Misaki: That's it. I'm not talking to you again.

Sumi: Fine.

Misaki: Fine.

…

Misaki: Hey, it's really not gay right?

Sumi: Yes!

Misaki: I swear I'm not gay.

Sumi: You watch yaoi with a guy, and claim to be straight. Come on, Misaki, you can tell me anything.

Misaki: … Okay, fine. Maybe a little. But it's okay, I was watching TV the other day and they said that was natural. I'm just curious.

Sumi: Ever seen a naked chick?

Misaki: Gross!

Sumi: You're gay.

Misaki: Yeah, well you read Akihiko's Fanfiction and said it was hot. You're gay!

Sumi: Yes I am. And if you don't like Usami, I'll take him off your hands.

Misaki: !

Sumi: Is that a yes?

Misaki: no! That's a WTF!!!

Sumi: Love you too, night!

Misaki turned off his phone, shocked that Sumi would admit it so lightly. Honestly, what the hell did he think? You can't just say that and think everything would be normal. He sighed and wandered next door to his brother's room.

"Hey, Takahiro, I need to ask you a question."

"What?" he asked, smiling like an idiot.

"If you watch yaoi, does that make you gay?"

"Yeah," he answered, "Why? Did Sumi try getting you to watch it?"

"Why is it that everyone knew about Sumi, expect me?"

"Come on, it's bloody obvious he likes Akihiko."

Misaki glared at the floor for a moment before saying, "What about Akihiko? He watches yaoi."

Takahiro laughed, failing to notice his best friend had a crush on him. Misaki couldn't help thinking that his brother was a moron. Honestly, did he really believe it was normal for his best friend to hang all over him like that?

"Never mind, I'm going to bed." Misaki said, leaving his brother to do whatever it was he did. Probably watched Late Night TV, and read Playboy. Who knows what Takahiro did? But whatever it was, it had to be weird.

Miyagi had started smoking again. He hadn't smoked in about a month. But he was stressed out right now, and he'd already finished grading everything and it was too late for the used bookstore to be open. He wanted to take his mind off things, so he'd turned on the TV and lit his cigarette. Right now, he was watching South Park. He'd come across it while flipping cannels and remembered how his students were convinced it was the greatest show ever. And even though the animation was crappy, it had made him laugh. So, he left it on and tried to understand why even his female students liked its crude humor.

He really didn't know what to expect. A phone call from the school board? A letter saying he was going to trail for child abuse? What he didn't expect was being able to see Shinobu that much anymore. Even if his father decided not to confront him, he'd still be too ashamed to show his face at the High School again.

Maybe he should just retire. He had money saved in the bank. He could just disappear off to another country. He could go anywhere he wanted, and he wouldn't have to deal with this mess.

Of course that would mean never seeing Shinobu again. And that was something he didn't even want to consider. Maybe he could take Shinobu with him. They could go to America, get married, and have a nice peaceful life. Until he got arrested for kidnapping.

Ironically that's what was happening on the TV. Kyle's little brother was having a relationship with his teacher. They were planning on running away.

Even the TV was taunting him. He picked up his remote, about to turn the damn show off. But not before he saw the teacher's fate, falling off a building to her death.

American TV is f*ed up, he decided. Why the heck do those kids watch it!

His phone ring a moment later. The Caller Id said it was Shinobu's cell phone. He knew he shouldn't answer it. It would be dangerous to be accepting calls from him if this was brought to trial. And surly it would be. There was no way he could get away with that!

But he just had to talk to the boy; he had to know what was going on.

"Hello," he answered, plainly.

"Can I come over?"

"What?"

"My dad said it was okay for me to stay at your house."

"Ah," was this some sort of sick joke? "I'm sorry, Shinobu. But after today I don't think I should see you."

"Stupid old man, did you not hear what I just said?"

"I heard you, and like I said before. I don't think I should see you anymore. It's not… It's not normal for someone my age to be hanging out with someone your age."

"I'm coming over."

"No, you're not."

"Miyagi, you bastard, I've told you, its destiny!"

"There is no such thing as destiny."

"Yes, there is. Now, take responsibility."

"Shinobu, you're crazy if you think this will ever work out. Please, just leave me alone."

--

"Miyagi…" he was cut off by the dial tone. Miyagi had hung up on him.

"See?" Shinobu's father said, "I told you, things would never work out between you two."

Shinobu didn't reply. He was halfway out the door before the principal realized what was happening.

"You're not going over there!"

"Yes, I am."

"You can't be serious! He just…"

Shinobu slammed the door behind him.

This was probably my longest so far. 6 1/4 pages! Thank you for reading! And I hope to hear from you!

Review Responses: Thanks to everyone for the great reviews! And I'm sorry this one was a little late. I got sick last night and wasn't up to writing. And yeah, I also feel like they're being rushed a little. Of course, I still have a few ideas. And I'm still not exactly sure how I'm going to manage actually putting Misaki and Usami together. They're sort of becoming friends now, but something's got to give.
