A/N: Finally chapter six. I'm sorry to say this but...this is the final chapter. I will most likely make a sequal. But for now, Chapter 6!
Chapter 6
Where could he be? Did he go home? He's already missed our first two classes. I'll just ask Miku about it.
I head down the music hall into the choir room. I really need to talk to Mikuo. He seemed so helpless. I still remember the look of distress in his aqua green eyes.
I didn't mean for any of this to happen. This is why I didn't want to tell him.
I walk into the room where some of the students were already there. I look around trying to find the person I really needed to see.
He isn't here, stop looking.
"Oh, Mikuo…why couldn't I keep my mouth shut?" I whisper under my breath.
"Is everything alright?" I look over at Kaito; he had a concerned look on his face.
"No…he won't talk to me. I'm starting to think that I scared him away," I whisper to him.
"Give him time Akaito. I bet he's just confused. You know he's never dated and now he knows his best friend loves him. I'm sure he'll come around," he whispers.
"I hope this passes fast…I don't know how much longer I can last like this…I really miss the old Mikuo…"
"Don't worry, he can't hide in the closet forever," he ruffles my hair and heads over to Len.
He can't hide in the closet if he isn't gay…I'm just hoping he is in the closet…
I spot Miku with Rin. I decide to ask her what had happened to Mikuo. I come up to the two girls. Miku looks up at me curiously.
"Hey, Akaito. What's up?" Miku asks.
"Nothing much, I was just wondering what happened to Mikuo. He hasn't shown up to any classes today. Do you know what happened to him?" I ask trying not to sound distressed.
"Oh, he went home before classes started, he sent me a text saying he wasn't feeling very good and that he was going back home," Miku answers.
"Oh…okay."
I doubt he's sick. I bet he's trying to avoid me. Damn it! Why did I have to say anything?!
Well you couldn't have just kissed and left it like that! You had to tell him why you did it. Imagine if you didn't, he would be even more confused than he already is.
I hear the bell ring for the start of class.
"Well I told him, there's nothing that can change that," I whisper to myself as I make my way to the group of students.
Kaito and I make our way towards the buses. Since Mikuo wasn't around the whole day I decided to hang out with him and Len during lunch and Kaito also has the same classes as me so I talked to him most of the day.
"Hey, Akaito," Kaito begins, "I'm going to Len's house so I'll be getting off at his stop. Is that alright? Will you be okay without me?" he added the last part with a sympathetic tone.
"Of course I'll be alright, Kaito. You don't have to worry about me, you can do whatever you want," I reply. I wanted to tell him to stop worrying about me as if I was a sick child but I didn't want to upset him as well.
"Okay, if you're sure you'll be alright."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
We board our bus and I head towards the back and sit alone. I look out of the window and watch the other students rushing to their buses.
I hope he'll be alright…and I hope we can at least be friends if he doesn't feel the same for me. I always thought that he would be surprised when I told him my true feelings but I never thought it would end up like this.
"Hey, Akaito."
The voice made me jump out of my thoughts. I look to see who had sat next to me and I see Miku.
"Oh, hi Miku," I say trying to sound friendly. I turn back towards the window.
"I know Mikuo isn't sick. You know what's wrong with him, don't you?" Miku asks. Her question sort of caught me off guard. I look back over at her trying to meet her eyes but I only drop my gaze and look down at my hands which were resting on my lap.
"Um…I do know, but I don't know how to fix it," I reply not wanting to state the actual reason for Mikuo's strange behavior.
"Maybe I can help. Can you tell me what's wrong with him?"
"I…c-can't…"
"Oh…"
You have to tell Miku. She should know. Mikuo is her brother and she can probably help him.
"I kissed him."
"Wait, what did you say?"
"I kissed him, Miku. I like him. More than a friend should, and I couldn't take it anymore and on Sunday after he and Kaito had found the darts he went to get me. Then that's when I kissed him."
"So that's why both of you have been like this?"
"I've tried to talk to him, but he's just…I don't know…"
"Oh, Akaito, I'm sure Mikuo will come around."
"Do you mean that he's really gay?" I ask looking up at Miku.
"Well I wouldn't say that, but I wouldn't doubt it."
"Oh…" I look back down at my hands.
The whole bus ride seemed to pass quickly. I get off at my stop and head up the street to my house. It was strange without Kaito beside me. We usually talk to one another during our short walk. The earlier conversation with Miku made me wonder if I had any chance with Mikuo.
Maybe Kaito is right. I should give him time to think this through. Even I still need time.
I stop in front of the door and pull out the house key from one of the pockets in my coat. Once I enter my house it seemed so quiet. I head upstairs to my bedroom walking past the numerous rooms that belonged to the rest of my siblings, which at the moment were all in Japan, except for Kaito. I open the door to my room and something didn't really seem right. I head for my closet, but then the instant I opened the door something sprang out and made me fall to the floor. The weight was still on me.
"Mikuo?! What are you doing h-"
Suddenly I felt his soft lips on mine. He pulls away and looks at me with an intense gaze.
"Akaito, I'm sorry for what I've done to you. You didn't deserve to be treated that way. I really do love you," he says to me in a barely audible whisper.
I'm dreaming…I know I am…
"This is a dream isn't it?" I whisper.
"No Akaito. This is real. I love you, I always have."
"Mikuo…I love you too."
He leans down and kisses me once more. I return the kiss, but then I pull away from him.
"Mikuo…how exactly did you get in my house and into my closet?" I ask.
"Well…let's just say I've had to follow Meiko up too many buildings."
End Notes: Well that's it. As I said there is a possibility that I will make a sequal, but for now I'll take ideas. Just tell me and I will most likely make a story or a one-shot.
Also, as always review!
