Ordinary world

Misaki watched the news telecasting a protest against gays by some common people. He saw people carrying placards highlighting 'GET RID OF GAYS' engraved in red ink. His heart clenched painfully as he felt the flames of hatred of the homophobes burning violently.

Akihiko turned off the television and patted Misaki's hair.

'Misaki don't think about it.'

Misaki stayed silent looking down with gloomy and trembling eyes.

'Usagi-san is it so bad?'

'No Misaki its not bad at all.'

'Then why do they..'

Misaki couldn't speak anymore as his voice became heavy and he chocked on his words. Tears rolled down his flushed cheeks as vision of Takahiro emerged in Misaki's mind.

'Because they don't know what love is and how much I love you, Misaki.'

Akihiko spoke hugging Misaki gently.

'Misaki lets build a castle of our dreams in that ordinary world and live together.'

Misaki nodded and lulled his tears to sleep listening to Akihiko's heartbeat…

I don't know why people hate gays or lesbians, I mean isn't society is said civilized when people are allowed to do what they want without harming others? Instead of going on a picnic to protest against gays they should use that time to repair their love life or eat some grasses...

Don't mind me, I am so angry right now as today I was talking to one of my friend in public who is a lesbian and some people starred at us and said such rude things that she couldn't hold back her tears. I understood why she was changing her apartment. I felt so angry for not being able to do anything for her and here she was planning to open an orphanage.
