Chapter 6: The secret admirer
The winter was still holding on. The white duvet of snow that was covering Sakuro High school showed no signs of retreat. It was yet another day, and Kai and Tala were sitting at their regular table eating breakfast. As normal Tala was looking out the window at the snow, while Kai only concentrated on his food. However, there was something different, barely noticeable to anyone but the two. A small smile was on both boy's lips, and around their necks hung a half heart, that together spelled "Best friends" with curly beautiful letters. Tala looked at his room-mate. January held the end of the first term and the second one was starting tomorrow, meaning their midterm grades would be handed out at the end of the day.
"What do you think we'll get in Drama?" the red head asked. Kai looked up at him, then shrugged his shoulders.
"Depends I guess. Your performance was great so I'm sure you'll get an A," he said as a matter of fact. Tala frowned and Kai couldn't help but grin at his friend's response. The red haired teen grinned as well.
"Either way, I'm never going to do that again. 'specially not with Garland."
As he spoke the silver haired teen's name he made a grimace, making Kai chuckle a little. Tala looked questioningly at him.
"Did you just chuckle?" the red head asked. The blue haired male turned a little pale. Then he cleared his throat and looked out the window.
"So what? It's not illegal," he said.
"No it's just that you never done that before. It was kind of...I don't know, cute," Tala smiled as a very light pink crept up his room-mate's cheeks. He laughed. He was starting to see more and more of Kai's gay side. He wondered if the blue haired male was showing more of it or if he was only just noticing it. But it didn't matter, he kind of liked this side about his room-made.
During English class they got a task for the next lesson to find a poem they liked or write one of their own. Tala glanced over at Kai wondering what he would do. The blue haired teen noticed his glance and looked at him. He raised an eyebrow at his room-mate. The red head just smirked and returned his eyes to the blackboard where the teacher was writing names of different poets. Kai kept his eyes on his friend for a moment, before he thoughtfully looked down at his notebook. As the bell rang and they walked out of the classroom door, Tala turned to Kai.
"What do you think Kai? You want to find a poem or write one?"
The blue haired teen shrugged, but the red head was his best friend and they both knew he would try and write one himself. Tala just smiled and the two headed for the next lesson. They said by in the hall and decided to meet in the cafeteria for lunch.
As Tala walked down the hall he felt like someone was watching him, at first he thought it was just some of the fans he had gotten during the play, but when he turned around to check, there was no one there. He didn't understand it, but just shrugged it off and continued to class.
Math class was a drag. Tala hated it. Not only didn't he understand it, but he never seem to solve the exercises right when he thought he had. He sighed and rested his chin in one hand, staring helplessly at the note book. Kai sent him a look.
"Need help?" he asked with a little sigh. A frown formed on the red haired teens face and he nodded. Kai moved his desk besides Tala's and started to explain. It didn't take him long to make Tala understand.
"You make it so much easier than the teacher," the red head commented.
"You're so good in all subjects, how do you do that? It's like you're secretly a nerd," he continued, causing a glare from his room-mate and a worried laugh from himself. They sat working together for the rest of the lesson, before the school day was over and they decided to go to the library.
Walking down the hall towards the library, Tala kept glancing behind them. In the end Kai got irritated by it.
"What are you doing?" he growled. The red head looked at him, confused.
"You haven't noticed?" he asked. Kai stared at his room-mate.
"Someone has been following us all day. I first noticed during breakfast," Tala said, glancing back once again. The blue haired teen followed his room-mate's eyes to the end of the hall. A shadow was hiding around the corner and Kai felt his muscles tighten. The two hurried into the library and found a table hidden between the shelves. Whoever followed them seemed to have lost track of them.
Tala looked through the books trying to find a poem for the English class, while Kai was sitting at the table writing. In the end the red head sighed and dropped down on the chair across his room-mate.
"I can't find any good poems," he said tiredly. Kai glanced up at Tala and looked at him thoughtfully. The red haired boy blinked at him. His room-mate smiled and returned his attention to the paper.
"Then write one," he stated simply.
"I can't write Kai," Tala replied.
"Neither can I," the blue haired teen said with a grin. The red head looked at him for a moment. Then leaned over to read what his friend had written. Kai looked up at him and hid the poem he had been writing.
"You'll hear it in class Tala," he said looking him straight in the eyes. The red head sighed again and leaned back in his chair. He looked at the books on the shelves, then his writing room-mate. He got an idea, found his pen and note book and started to write.
During lunch Tala smiled, pleased with his work. Kai just shook his head, with a little smile, at his friend. They talked and ate before they headed for their next lesson, History. Before the two went into the classroom, the blue haired teen noticed someone was following them again. He frowned while looking down the hall.
"Kai? What is it?" the red head asked and walked up beside him. His room-mate shook his head.
"Nothing." The two went into the classroom, to have yet another boring lesson about World War 2.
It was the last lesson of the day. Kai was staring boredly out of the window, while Tala was sleeping on his desk. Of course he wasn't alone, half the class was sleeping, while the other half was just staring blankly at things in the classroom. The teacher sighed.
"I Think that's enough for today," he said to the cheers of the students. Kai got up and glanced at Tala, who stretched and got on his feet. The blue haired teen smiled and walked up besides his room-mate.
"Let's go back to our room Kai, before I fall asleep again," the red head yawned. Kai nodded and they headed for their room.
When opening the door, Tala stepped on a piece of paper. Confused, he looked down to see it was a letter. A letter with his name on it. Kai glanced over his shoulder and looked at the letter. Slowly, a bit hesitantly, Tala bent down and picked it up. The two stood silently and stared at it for a moment. The blue haired male sighed.
"Open it," he said flatly and walked over to his bed. Tala closed the door behind them and sat down on his own bed, with Kai sitting across from him with a thoughtful expression on his face. The red head opened the letter and read it silently, his eyes widened and face paling more and more by every sentence. His room-mate blinked wondering what it said. But then Tala suddenly seemed more relaxed. He stared at the letter for a moment, before he folded it and put it in his pocket without a word. Then he glanced at the clock and slowly got on his feet.
"I need to be somewhere," he said and looked at Kai, who looked emotionless back. He nodded and the red head walked out the door and down the hall. The blue haired teen looked after his friend. When he thought Tala was too far away to hear, he slammed his fist in the night table as he gritted his teeth.
Walking down the hall, Tala was in deep thought about the letter in his pocket. His heart was beating so loudly he was afraid everyone could hear it. He turned another corner, getting closer to his destination. He walked out into the school park. Under a snowy sakura tree by a frozen fountain stood a shadow waiting for him. The red head swallowed and approached the person. He cleared his throat making the shadow turn to face him. The boy blushed as his light blue eyes fell on the red head. He looked like a first year and seemed extremely nervous.
"Em... did you send me this?" Tala asked and help up the letter. The boy nodded.
"Okay... well...em..." The older teen didn't know what to say. The boy took a deep breath before he started talking.
Kai was staring up at the ceiling, waiting for Tala to return. It was something about that letter that the blue haired teen didn't like.
It better not have been from Garland. Kai thought bitterly. Just then the door opened and the red head walk over to his bed and sat down on it. He had a strange smile on his face. Wondering, but still pleased. Kai sat up and looked at his friend. Tala didn't say anything, just sent him a smirk, put the letter in his night table and went to sleep. The blue haired male continued to look at his room-mate until he knew the red head was asleep. He hesitated a bit, but he couldn't help but want to know what Tala was so pleased about. Slowly and silently, careful not to wake his room-mate, Kai opened the drawer and took out the letter.
Jealousy is an ugly thing. He thought with a little smile as he opened the letter and started reading it.
Dear Tala-san
Ever since I saw you perform in the Christmas play, I've been thinking of you. Every day, every night, every lesson, every recess. I have realised that I'm longing to be with you. That is why I left you this letter, because I need to tell you what I feel. So please meet me in the school park by the big fountain after school, I'll be waiting.
Your secret admirer.
Kai stared at the letter. It had many spelling mistakes and the words were simple. A first year's writing. The blue haired teen smiled and looked at his sleeping room-mate.
A secret admirer. I knew many would fall for you....... including me.
"I love you Tala-san. I know you probably don't feel the same, but I just had to tell you." The boy looked at Tala who just stared back at him. A sad look came over the boy's face. The red head smiled and his eye blue eyes was locked with the boys.
"What's your name?" he asked.
"Wolfram," the boy replied, now looking curiously at him. Tala's smile widened.
"I like it," he stated, causing a huge smile to form on Wolframs' face.
"Exactly what do you want from me?" Tala asked still smiling. The boy blushed furiously and mumbled something about a kiss or maybe just a hug. The red head wasn't gay, but he couldn't help but think how cute Wolfram was. So he leaned down and kissed the boy's forehead. Wolfram's face turned a deep red and he smiled shyly.
