Awakening new feelings

"Kick the ball Ashiya!" Nakatasu cried watching the boy on the other side of the field. The damn kid had been staring into space for the last ten minutes and completely making him regret putting him on his team. Seriously, what person asks to play football and then stares into space. With the other team advancing on him so quickly he was slowly becoming worried but he was more agitated than worried. He was a boy and a boy could take a hit, right?

Wrong. Sekimi came by swiping the ball away from the staring boy, an elbow blind siding Mizuki directly somewhere in the face. Mizuki was too far away from Nakatasu to actually see where the boy was hit though everyone began to jog forward to make sure the unconscious boy was okay. Where was that freaky doctor when you needed him? Then again, Nakatasu wouldn't doubt that the man would be useless at a time like this probably telling them to lay him down and wait for him to come around. He could have a concussion for Gods sake.

"Back up! Move away from him, give him some air, man!" He cried looking down at Mizuki's tinted face as the group back up slowly to give him air. "Mizuki? Mizuki?" He asked shaking the boy frantically to see if he would at least stir but there was nothing but a quiet groan. He sighed hoisting the boy into his arms bridal style and heading towards the Nurses office. "Keep the game going without me, we can't just leave'em." He called looking down at Mizuki, his girlish features caught slightly in the sun.

He jerked his head away willing the blush down to a soft pink, 'You're so tiny...like a girl.' He couldn't help but notice how small the boy was in his arms. He couldn't weigh more than one hundred pounds, no wonder all the gay boys were interested in him. 'R-Right the gay boys...' He thought to himself walking by a group of bushes soft snoring coming from inside them. It had to be Sano, right. He should go over there and shove the kid down on him to get rid of all the gay thoughts. He had no gay thoughts. Thinking a boy was light wasn't gay. What the hell was his problem thinking this kid was light? 'You're a fag dude.' His mind supplied turning into the Nurses quarters placing Mizuki down on the bed, the boy's head instantly turning to face him, mouth slightly ajar.

He pulled up a chair staring down at the boy. Figures Umeda wouldn't be in, most likely taking a leisure stroll while Mizuki had a concussion and he questioned himself inwardly. There was nothing wrong with thinking another boy was slightly cute, absolutely nothing. There were plenty of cute boys, though he couldn't think of any other than Mizuki currently. 'Because you like Mizuki...' His mind supplied as he whined jumping up pacing around the room. Who did he think he was questioning his own sexuality over the new kid at school!? How dare he! He knew himself better than himself knew himself! He wasn't gay. 'Sure, take that idea and run with it...'

He dropped back down into the straight back chair his eyes running over the boy attempting to figure out what made him special. It wasn't his body, Minami's stalker was small like that too, so it couldn't be that. 'It's the hair...' No. 'it's the eyes....' Shut up! 'It's the alluring position you put him in when you laid him down....' Ugh! He just laid him down but now that he thought about it, it was slightly alluring. The way his body was turned and the unconscious state was kinda hot as he leaned forward. 'No one's around. Kiss'em.' He stopped shaking his head. 'No one will know but you, me and those cherry coloured lips.' He flushed at the thought leaning forward more nearly grazing the lips before a door opened behind him.

"Well isn't this a bit of a compromisingly position?" Umeda snickered leaning against the rail lining the cots together. His golden gaze ran over Nakatasu that nearly fell out of his chair to pull himself back for the boy. "I got the kid, get out."

He exhaled, the man hadn't seen. He was just talking like he saw something. Nakatasu pulled himself up starting towards the door, 'You should have moved way faster than that stupid.' "shut up."

Umeda had taken his place beside Mizuki, "Excuse me?" He questioned before Nakatasu shook his head. "Be careful about talking to yourself, I would think in your case it's slightly insane. Also, we'll dismiss you about to kiss him as checking his heart rate. I see everything. Trust me." He laughed leaning over the boy examining his face slightly.

He stood his ground, "That's what I was doing. He got hit by an elbow playing football. I told him to kick the damn ball." He frowned ignoring the blush that had set itself on his face. He didn't need this man questioning what he was already doing himself. Fuck that. He wasn't gay and no cute tiny boy that he almost kissed was going to change that. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Umeda nodded, "Well he's not unconscious. If he was, he's not anymore, he's asleep." He sat back patting the sleeping boy on the head. "He must be new I've never seen him before. How adorable." He stood strolling forward to his desk before pausing, "You can leave now."

He nodded slowly rolling his eyes. Most likely after his episode the football game was over. Hopefully his team one, though without him there was no hope. He frowned passing Sano in the hallway, the boy carrying two bags, one of them most likely Mizuki's. So he had heard, at least he thought so with the worried look on the mans face as he continued on barely noticing Nakatasu other than a fleeing glance. Sano was changing a bit, everyone could see it. It started when Mizuki came here. All of it did. Everyone was changing, for the good or bad he wasn't sure yet but he knew it was happening.

"Doctor Umeda?" Sano asked from beside the sleeping boy. "Is it okay if I take him back to the dorm room now? He's just sleeping it off right? His injury."

The man nodded throwing a packet of aspirin that slid across the floor hitting the wall beside the door out. "Yeah, go ahead, he's sleep. Give him that when he wakes up. It should be a pretty decent headache an tell him to stay out of trouble or at least not play a sport he'll hurt himself in." He mumbled reading over something spinning in his chair. "Now get out, it's almost clock out time."

Sano nodded shifting the bags before pulling Mizuki into his arms silently slapping himself for not being around when the boy was hurt. He sighed bending down to pick up the aspirin packet before heading out. His eyes shifted down to the boy sighing at the knot forming. "I'm sorry Mizuki..."

The boy shifted in his arms, "Sano..."

He blushed.

[Yeah, so it's was a chapter strictly about Nakatasu's inner fight. Though in the upcoming chapter he'll have more to worry about than just thinking he likes Mizuki. The next chapter will feature a day out with Sano and Mizuki I promise. Just the interaction of the two of them. Please! Please! Please! Review. This chapter was written as an idea from my anonymous reviewer. Thank you for being my first review on this story!]
