Chapter 20

Kaidoh stood there in the boys toilets hands braced on the sink, head bowed, trying to control himself and calm down. Why does he have to be so happy about telling everybody about our personal relationship?! I don't want everyone knowing things like; I have always been submissive to Inui. I haven't. He thought for a moment, "Yes I have." He said defeated slumping to the floor, his back now against the nearest wall, and head in his hands.

But still he doesn't have to tell everyone, BAKA. He thought, his fist colliding with the wall beside him. He's gonna come in a minute to see what's wrong! If I stay here he's only gonna piss me off even more! He got up and looked at himself in the mirror for a few minutes trying to decide on the best course of action.

He left the boy's toilets and headed out of school, grabbing his shoes as he went. No-one saw him, they were all still in lessons. He wondered down the street, not really sure on where he was going or what he wanted to do or even when he would go back to the school. He would have to go back at some point and talk to Inui, he was after all living with his boyfriend and he didn't want the argument to cause Inui's parents any problems after they had been so nice to him. All the while he was trying to decide on these factors his feet had been on auto-pilot and he soon found himself outside his favourite tennis equipment shop. He was contemplating on whether to go in or not when Atobe Keigo emerged, with a half asleep Jirou trailing behind him.

"Ah, if it isn't Kaidoh Kaoru from Seigaku!" He said in his usual drool. Stopping just in front of Kaidoh, Jirou was now resting his sleepy head against Atobe's pristine back. "Not skipping are we? And he I was under the impression that your grades were worse than that of an earthworm." He smirked.

Kaidoh couldn't be bothered with the 'monkey King' as Ryoma called him. He just carried on down the street, deep in thought.

"Oh charming, not only bad grades but also bad manors!" But still Kaidoh did not react. Atobe did not like being ignored, he followed Kaidoh, catching up with him, "Do not ignore Ore-sama when he is gracing you with his words!"

Kaidoh just stopped as Atobe was now blocking his way forwards and Jirou blocking his way back, all be it sleepily. "What do you want Atobe!" Kaidoh asked with a hiss.

"I want to know why you are ignoring me!"

"Because I can't be bothered with your dramatics, now move out of my way!"

"No," Atobe sneered, knowing he was annoying the snake.

"Look I'm having a REALLY crappy hour and you are not helping now MOVE!!" He shouted, pushing Atobe over as he finished his sentence. He began to stalk off, but his sleeve had been grabbed. Kaidoh spun around, "WHAT DO YOU WANT!!!!!" He shouted into Jirou's face.

"Just because you're having a problem with your boyfriend doesn't mean you need to take out on my boyfriend." He replied calmly, now fully awake.

"How did you..?" Kaidoh asked to shocked to be upset.

"It's obvious! Plus this guy has upset me enough for me to notice another with a boyfriend problem," He replied helping his ruffled boyfriend up and dusting him off.

"I don't care if he's dying, he has no right to push Ore-sama on to the floor," Atobe screeched indignantly.

"Be quiet Atobe, you have no idea what it's like to be upset over your boyfriend, you are hardly upset by me, you do not know how it feels like." Jirou explained to his disgruntled boyfriend. "Kaidoh-san why don't you come with us, may be I can help you with your problem." Kaidoh thought for a moment and looked in the direction of his school. "I know you want to talk to your boyfriend, but it'd be best if you knew what. Sort that out first then go talk to him. "You coming?" Jirou asked as he began to walk way, pulling his boyfriend. Who happened to be complaining about having Kaidoh invading their plans for the day, of it just being the two of them.

Kaidoh didn't move. He had no idea of what to do. He watched the 'moneky King' and the sleepy boy as they began to move further away, then he looked back in the direction of his school. He had been gone for a good 10 minutes, Inui would surely be worrying about where he was and wondering what he had done to deserve being pushed of his seat like that. But Jirou-san is right I shouldn't talk to him until I sort myself feelings thoughts out first, else this problem will keep on coming up. I don't want to cause problems in our relationship, especially after we've been through so much already. That's not fair to me of Haru! But can I trust Atobe and Jirou-san? He turned his gaze back to Atobe and Jirou, who had stopped at the end of the street waiting for him, expectantly. He took one last look in the direction of his school, before walking up the street towards people he had thought would be the most unlikely people he would turn to help for.
