I come back to the dorms. Hidemi is typing on his laptop. He turns and looks at me, "Where have you been? You came home late."

I'm drenched in water. "Rain." I take off my shoes and go to the bathroom.

Crap. I forgot grab clothes before I went in here. And...I'm half naked....

Should I even call him to grab my clothes?

"H-H-Hidemi...!!" I call nervously.

No answer.

"H-H-Hidemi!!!" I call even louder. "Hidemi!"

"What???" Hidemi answers bluntly. "Do you need anything?"

"C-Can you get some of my clothes?"

I hear shuffles and my drawer open. "Do you need a shirt and pant?" He calls out.

"Y-Y-Yes!"

It takes awhile for him.

Too. Long.

What the hell is he doing?!

"H-Hidemi, what are you-!!"

Hidemi's face is slightly red, he has a cheeky smile....

"Here you go." He hands me my clothes, I crack the door open a little, he could see me...half...naked.

"Hmph, damn. You're a little built up for a little guy."

IS-IS IS HE CHECKING ME OUT?!

"Shut up!" I closed the door. My face is red as hell. Damn...what's wrong with me...and most of all...HIM?!

...

I come out and throw my wet clothes into the basket. I groan and flop onto my bed. Hidemi turns around and looks at me.

"Hmm? What's up?" Hidemi grins at me.

Should I even tell him?

...might as...well...

"I got asked out."

"Wait, what? Really? Who?" He rolls his chair closer to my bed.

"It was a girl who sat by me yesterday...."

"Oh, she was cute." Hidemi chuckles. "Lucky boy, I would ask her out if she was interested in me." He smiles.

"Y-You would...?" I...feel...disappointed...

"Pft no! Haha, I'm not that type of guy to just ask a girl up because of her looks!" Hidemi starts to laugh as if he made a joke. "I rather get to know her though. She was cute..."

Still. Disappointed.

"Did you say yes to her?" He asks.

"I...I told her I'll think about it..." I answered. He didn't respond. He soon chuckled.

"Pft, why? Not interested?"

"...I said I would think about it." I mumbled.

Hidemi smiles. It's...it's like a sweet genuine smile. "Hm, do think about it." He swings his chair around and back to his laptop.

My cheeks are red.

You know...I wonder...why he said that. I do not want to go. Though...I do not want to hurt her.

...

Few minutes passed.

I got bored. I bring a chair by Hidemi. "What are you doing?"

He looks to his left and looks at me. "Writing. Heh, it's just talking about developing characters."

"Developing characters?" I tilt my head to the side.

"Yep." Hidemi nods. "...do you not...?"

"No."

Hidemi smiles and goes back typing. "Developing characters are characters who change within the story. Like for example, a character who acts like a mean guy will slowly turn into a nice guy in these cliche shoujo mangas." He chuckles.

I chuckle too. "Yeah..."

"Still, we would read it because we love those stories." He smirks. I blushed.

"Any...other examples?"

He smiles from before, "Other examples are like a character slowly responding to love. They realize it at the end and will either be heart broken or else happy when they tell their feelings to their crush." Hidemi keeps on writing. "Mostly developing characters are just changing who they are or else changing their habits, making a different personality in them when having social interaction with things."

"That's interesting..."

...that's...me...right? I'm...developing...right?

"Pft, yeah. I have to write about developing characters and other things." Hidemi yawns. "Do you think you can get me some food from the dorm's kitchen?"

"What kind?" I get up. He hands me money.

"Something sweet. Don't get me chocolate though, I'm not in the mood for chocolate." He stretches.

I nod and leave.

...

I can hear the rain. Damn...it's raining hard. I can hear it throughout the building.

As I bought a snack for Hidemi and got back, as soon as I closed the door, the electric went out.

Hidemi looks up and sighs. "Seriously? We lost wifi too...." Hidemi looks at me. "Oh, you're back."

"Here, I got you chips." I walk over and hand him his chips.

"Thanks." He places it to the side. "Man, I can't research for other things..." Hidemi leans back in his chair. "What do you want to do?"

I shrug. "I don't know." I laid down on my bed.

He spins around in his chair. "Want to play that game again?"

"Game?" I slightly got up.

"Yeah..." Both of us made eye contact. "That question game."

Remembering back, we asked each other questions about how we thought about each other.

"Sure..." I laid back down. "Do you want to start?"

"You already started the game," Hidemi chuckles.

I blushed. "Y-Yeah, right." I sigh, "Umm...so...how was class today?"

"Hmm, it was alright. I think some guy thought I was hitting on a girl he liked so he told me to lay off." Hidemi laughed. "Suddenly I told him I didn't know who she was."

I covered my laughter. "Pft-hahahaahah!!"

"Haha..." Hidemi laughed. He had that genuine smile again. "Anyway, how about you?"

"It was fine..." I smiled a little. "I guess being asked out afterward was a bit shocking..." I sigh and lifted my glasses to rub my eye. "I mean...I'm not interested in her though."

"Really?"

"Yeah..." I answered. "Do...do you think I should ask her out?"

"No, you don't have to." Hidemi answers straightforwardly, "It is your choice to say no if you want. I mean, you can't always do things to make others happy...right?"

"I guess you're right. But what if I make her cry?" I sit up and looked at him. He's leaning on his hand. No reaction, just a blank look.

"Tell her that she'll find someone new. Everyone will have someone to replace...and it's life."

That...got deep...

"Yeah..." I looked down.

"Why did you ask me?"

I looked back up at him. "I...I just thought...I could get advice from you."

Hidemi scoffs with a smirk. "I give some good pieces of advice, pft."

He's acting cocky in a jokey way.

"So...do you like anyone?" He asks.

I froze. I turned myself away, "N-No...." My cheeks are red.

"Pft, really?" I hear his voice coming near.

"N-N-No, I don't..." I covered my face. It's getting h-hotter...

"Really?"

His...his voice...it's...by my ear.

His hands slowly wrap my waist and slowly going up to my chest. "Why are you stuttering?"

I turn my face around and face him. His seductive face draws me in.

"Hmph...baka..." He smirks and kisses me.

Our mouths began to move, he kissed and started to lick my tongue.

"Mnnhhh-ahhhh..." I began to moan. I can't stop...

Hidemi slides his hand up and down my upper body. He touches my nipples. Our lips part ways, he begins to smile more cheeky.

"Your cheeks are hot as hell..." He chuckles and lifts my chin up with his left hand.

"Ah~" I moaned.

His tongue is dragged down to my earlobe to my neck. "Huh? You like that?"

I moan, "St-Stop it...ah!"

His right-hand pinches my nipple. "Stop what?" He whispers in my ear. "You're so cute..."

"D-Don't call me cute!" I turned myself around and try to push him. To be honest, I wanted more...but...

Hidemi ignores me but pushes me down to the wall, "I can't when you're the one acting cute. Mmmnnnhh..." He starts to kiss me again. Tongue wanting mine, I can't handle but to give in.

Crap. No. I-I can't...can I?

We break apart and breath. His head hit the wall as his breath breathes at my neck. He chuckles, "Last time...you didn't complain..." He looks at me.

"C-C-Complain?"

Hidemi chuckles and whispers in my ear, "Of course. You passed out before I could do anything more to make you come."

I blush more. "It wasn't a dream?!"

"Heh, nope." He gets off of me. Hidemi sits beside me, "I'm sorry about that...."

"Wh-What?"

"You were drunk...and you suddenly kissed me." Hidemi turns and looks at me. "I...I think I took advantage of you when you were drunk...I'm sorry about that." He sighs and gets off my bed. He closes his laptop screen and ruffles his hair. "Let's just sleep, okay? I'm sorry for everything..."

Developing characters can change within seconds due to what happened in the story. Whether it was not told in the story, they can change because of that.
