They were sitting quietly in the park.
"Soubi..."
"Yes, Ritsuka?"
"What is love?"
Soubi looked at Ritsuka into his eyes. Ritsuka blushed and turned away. "So cute..." whispered Soubi.
Ritsuka tried to give him an angry look but failed, "D-don't avoid the question!"
"Is this why you've been frustrated all morning, Ritsuka?" Soubi asked.
"Just answer,"
"Why are you suddenly asking me, Ritsuka?"
"Answer it,"
"Ritsuka?"
"Answer it, damn it!" Ritsuka stood up and glared at Soubi. Why did Soubi not answer his question? Didn't Soubi always confessed his love for Ritsuka?
Soubi took Ritsuka's hand but Ritsuka jerked it away quickly. Ritsuka couldn't take it anymore, he ran off from the park, ran away, somewhere far away from Soubi. Somehow, he didn't felt like being with Soubi.
--
Ritsuka hugged his pillow tightly, it was bedtime, but he couldn't sleep. He didn't know why. His mind was on Soubi.
"Is he trying to make me gay? By making me believing that he loves me? By making me love him back? I'll won't fall for that guy's trick! Argh, Soubi, that jerk! God, why am I even thinking of him?"
Ritsuka rolled around his bed when he heard a knock from his balcony. He knew who it was, it was Soubi.
Sighing, he got off his bed and walked to the balcony. Soubi was standing outside, looking apolegetic. Ritsuka unlocked the balcony and let Soubi in.
"What do you want?" Ritsuka glared at him. He wasn't going to forgive Soubi yet.
"I'm sorry..."
"...If you didn't know the meaning you should've just told me..."
"I... Ritsuka, I just didn't know how to explain to you, I'll explain it to you once I know," Soubi touched Ritsuka's cheeks, pleading for forgiveness.
Ritsuka looked down, he didn't felt like being angry anymore.
"But," Ritsuka looked back at Soubi, "I still want to know, I want to know the meaning. I want to know why you say you love me so very often. I want to know why people say it. Soubi?"
"Yes?" Soubi let go of Ritsuka's cheeks.
"Are we gay?"
"Why are you thinking about that?"
"Don't answer my question with another question,"
Soubi patted Ritsuka's head, "Yes, but nothing is wrong with loving each other."
RItsuka's face turned red, "When the hell did I ever say I loved you?"
Soubi smiled and he bend down so that his face was the same level as Ritsuka's. "I don't know, Ritsuka," Soubi's mouth pressed onto Ritsuka's, his tongue quickly came out to beg for entrance from RItsuka's mouth. Ritsuka didn't know what to do, so he let the older man explore his mouth.
After a few minutes of snogging, they let go of each other. Soubi pulled Ritsuka into a hug, "I love you, even if you don't know the meaning of it...". Ritsuka felt himself returning Soubi the hug.
And they stayed in that position until it was time for Soubi to leave.

Noah slumped on his chair. He was tired and teacher still have not come in for lesson.
"Where's the teacher?" he heard a girl complained to her group of friends.
"I don't know, hey you know, I saw Ritsuka-kun with a man yesterday at the park."
Ritsuka's eyes grew wide, but he pretended not to hear it.
The group of girls continued to gossip, "Ritsuka is gay?!"
Everyone's head turned to where the group of girls were. Yuiko, was horrified, "Don't be ridiculous! You must be seeing things, Ritsuka isn't that type of what you make him out to be!"
"Oh sure Yuiko, like you can prove to us that he's straight," mocked one girl.
"Yuiko knows that Ritsuka is straight! RIght Ritsuka?"
Ritsuka looked down, " I... uhh..."
Just then, the teacher entered the classroom. Ritsuka heaved a sigh of relief.
--
When school was over, Ritsuka rushed out of the classroom with Yuiko following behind him. He saw Soubi from a distance.
"Ritsuka-kun," smiled Soubi.
"Get the hell away from me! Come one Yuiko, we'll go somewhere else!" with those harshful words, Ritsuka ran off in a distance with Yuiko.
"Yuiko-chan!!" cried Yayoi, trying to catch up but he stopped when he saw Soubi.
Soubi, stood there, hurt. and confused.
