We have been avoiding each other and lately, not been able to talk. A month had past and it's close to break...

I guess exams is more stressful than usual.

Though...we somehow...we...

"Let's go out," Hidemi sits down next to me.

I blush. "Wh-Why? Tomorrow's the exams..." I went back quickly to write notes.

Hidemi pouts. "Let's go out...we're just going to go eat."

"You can go with them, it's okay--"

"Them?" Hidemi tilts his head. "It's just you and me."

I stopped. Just...us....?!?!?!?!?!

I covered my face. "J-J-Just us two..."

"Yeah..." His voice goes deeper. "I'm stressed out and...you seem so too."

I nod. "I guess so..."

This isn't a date. It's...it's just because we're stressed out because of the exams.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We went out for okonomiyaki.

We both cook ours at the same time.

Hidemi finishes after cooking it. "How's studying for you?"

I shrug, "It's okay...how about you...?"

He shrugs, "I don't really want to think so much about the exams. So I'm trying to stay positive?"

I smile a bit. "Ha...that's good...I wish I could do that." I tried to flip my meal to the other side, Hidemi takes the 2 metal spatulas and flips it.

"Do you cook at all??" Hidemi questions me.

I shook my head. "I was always told to stay away from the stove...."

"Even now???"

I nod.

Hidemi laughs, "I'll teach you how to cook, haha."

I smile nervously. "I never seen you cook until now, haha..."

Hidemi stuffs his face and shrugs his shoulders. "Well one day, I'll cook a meal for you or something."

"When will that happen?" I joked.

"Probably when I get out of college by next year...."

I stopped. "What?"

"What?" He looks at me. "You didn't know that?"

I nod. "You're just going for 2 years?"

Hidemi nods, "Yeah...this is my last year. I thought you knew."

I shook my head. "No..."

"Disappointed?" Hidemi chuckles nervously.

I didn't answer. I kept eating.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Crap...it pasted 10...." Hidemi looked at his watch.

"Are you serious?" I groan. "I need to study and get ready for tomorrow..."

"It's okay, come on, we'll just go over and sleep over at my friend's house." Hidemi pats my back.

I shook my head. "What if I don't want to go..."

He stops, "What? Why?"

"It's just that....they know me and it seems like trouble that they know me," I answered.

It's true what I said. Hidemi seemed to nod along, I know that he told things about me to them. So...they're curious about me.

"Alright, I guess we'll just stay at a hotel for the night." Hidemi stretches.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Two?" The lady asked.

Hidemi nods. "Do you have any rooms with twin beds?"

The lady shook her head. "I'm sorry, just queen-sized beds."

He groans and looks back at me. "Do you mind if we share beds?"

I shook my head.

Nothing...nothing will happen, right?

"This week, it's 50% off for couples. Are you two couples?"

Hidemi turns back to answer.

"N--"

"Y-Yes, we are..." I answered quickly.

Hidemi stops and looks at me.

The lady smiles. "My, you two are cute together." She hands us the key and registers us to our rooms. "Have a good night."

...

As we walked down the hallway, we were quiet.

"DUDE! WHY WOULD YOU LIE LIKE THAT?!" Hidemi burst into full yelling mode.

I put my hands up in fear of him going to rip me open. "She said it's 50% off!!"

"You do realize I asked if there were twin beds and she said no. Hyun Oh, she thinks we're lying!!" Hidemi starts to shake me.

"It's 50% off than the usual price!!"

Hidemi stares at me. I stare at him.

He leans in close to my face. "....are you a cheapskate?"

I blushed and pushed him. "St-Stop it..."

Hidemi sighs and stretches, "Never knew you would do such thing..."

"I actually do this a lot..."

"WHAT?!?!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hidemi showered. I showered last.

As I came back from the bathroom, Hidemi was laying in bed...half...n-n-naked....

"H-H-H-Hidemi..." I stuttered. "...why are you n-naked?"

He turns around and looks at me, "We're just boys, it's okay."

I shook my head. "No, it's not!"

Hidemi laughs, "Why not?"

I pout. I can't answer that. It's because...we...we touched each other before and we like each other. Don't we?

"Don't worry, I'm wearing pants." He takes the covers off and shows me his pants. "It may get hot so I might take it off..." He starts to stretch his legs.

"That's n-not the point!" I'm blushing so hard. I...I just noticed I'm staring at his chest.

Fuck.

"Yo, face is up here." Hidemi points at his face. "You checking me out, already? Damn~" He laughs at his own joke.

"Yeah...I-I am..." I admitted it.

Hidemi stops. "Seriously?"

I nod.

He can't help but laugh again. "Who knew you were a pervert."

"I'M NOT!!"

"Yeah, sureee~~"

I walk up the bed and throw the pillow at him. "Stop teasing me!"

"Hmm~? Why~?" He starts to snuggle the pillow. "It's fun."

I shook my head and began to pout. "It's not fun when I'm the one blushing!!"

I stopped. Fuck. I grabbed the pillow from him and cover my face. "C-C-Can you not laugh at me anymore? It's-It's not going to make me burst..."

"Tears or...?"

"I don't know, it's like...butterflies in my stomach..." I answered. I can't explain it.

The shuffles of the bed, it's getting louder and louder. Then...a figure right next to me. His breath is on my slightly wet hair. I-I can....I can....feel him touching the side of my arms as I clutch the pillow.

"You're so cute when you're flustered...."

I slowly look up at him, putting down the pillow on the bed. "I'm not fl-flustered..."

"Really...?" He starts to whisper.

"...yea..." I did the same.

His face...it's...close to mine. I feel so drawn towards his....I can't control this feeling.

"Do you....do you mind if I...kiss you...?" His lips...they were only seconds away to kiss mine.

I was staring at his eyes. He did the same. I push myself to kiss him. I couldn't answer but to show it...

"Mnphhh!" I moaned.

His rough kisses came and he grabbed my hips and smashed it to his.

"Gwahhh, ahhhh..." I moaned, he put his tongue in my mouth. I tried to push away from him, "Hi-Hide--mph, nghh!!" As I broke free from his lips, he bit my bottom lip.

Hidemi's gaze...it's....seductive....

He lets go. "Sorry..."

I rub my bottom lip with my finger. "You...you were too rough..."

"Probably because I really wanted to touch you so bad." He shrugs and gets into bed.

I blushed. "Wh-What? What do you mean!"

"It is what I said." Hidemi chuckles and turns himself around. "Night."

I get in bed and scoot close to him. "Can....can...I--"

He pulls my hand to touch his chest. His heartbeat.

"Just go to sleep..." His soft voice comes on, "Make sure I don't squish you when we sleep."

"Okay..."

I wanted....I wanted to do more than that. I wanted him to kiss me and touch me....

What am I thinking...

What's wrong with me...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By tomorrow, everything went fast.

We left early, we paid and we went to eat. It's been long and I forgot what happened last night.

...

I came back to the dorms. He wasn't there.

Crap...the dorm master didn't give Hidemi a key to our dorm yet. It's been months too...

I called Hidemi.

Beeppp!!!

"Hello? Hyun Oh?"

I stuttered, "Wh-Where are you?"

"Oh, I'm actually at a party."

Party? Why?

"Ah...okay..." My voice went down.

"Do you want me to come back to the dorm?"

"It's fine. You don't have to." I answered fast. "I bet you're having fun--"

"Not really. It's just a baby shower...." He starts to whisper.

"Why are you at a baby shower...?"

"It's something for a friend...I don't really know, I had to go in place of them..." He sighs. "I already gave them the gift, but they insist that I stay..."

It would be nice to see him...

"C-Could you come back to the dorm?" I asked.

No sound from the other side.

"...yeah...I can." He hangs up.

...

Within 10 minutes, a knock comes at the door.

It's Hidemi...!

I opened it.

He's huffing and puffing.

"Damn, I had to run all the way here...ha haaa...." Hidemi catches his breath. "How did the exams go for you?"

"Stressful..." I smiled nervously and closed the door. "How about you?"

He shrugs, "I tried not to over think things...but I did either way." He smiles along like me. "It's has been long since we talked..."

I nod. "Yeah, it had..."

We were quiet together. No words but we stared at each other.

"Hmph, what?" He smirks.

I averted my eyes, "Nothing..."

"There's something wrong with how I look?" He jokes. I can see he's trying to act cute...

"Yeah, you're not cute..." I muttered.

Hidemi dramatically acts offended. "How dare you say that! I am cute!" He starts to push me around playfully. I push him back.

"No, you're not that cute." I laughed.

"Say I'm cute!!" He grabs me by the collar and shakes me.

I shook my head, "No, you're just handsome!"

....H-Hands-some....

Fuck.

Hidemi lets go of me. He starts to chuckle, "Well thanks. I think you're cute."

I start to blush, "NOT FAIR!"

He leans down and puts his finger to his lip, "Fair enough."

I grab his hand, "Shut up!"

A pull. A kiss.

Fuck.

I MESSED UP AGAIN!!!

OUR LIPS ARE TOUCHING!!! HIS LIPS ARE SO SOFT!!!

THAT'S NOT THE POINT! OH MY GOD!!!!

I push him away, my cheeks are burning me!!!

"S-S-S-Sorry!! I-I didn't mean to do that!" I covered my face.

I hear a sigh, I peek through my fingers. He's...touching his lips.

He takes a glance at me, "You could of...stayed...longer...."

"Eh?"

He comes closer. "Kiss me....stay on my lips longer..." Hidemi removes my hands and holds them at the wrist. "You'll never stop being so cute...."

Wh-Wh-WHAT?!

I closed my eyes. He chuckles and whispers in my ear, "It's just a kiss...don't worry...."

I AM GOING TO WORRY BECAUSE....BECAUSE...I DON'T KNOW!!!

I opened my eyes to look at him and answer him but...but...he stole me away....

"Mnnphh....mhnn....haaa aahh...gwahh..." I moaned and his tongue slipped in. It's touching my tongue and slipping and licking.

"Come on...open your mouth wider..." His deep voice whispers.

I opened it wider, his mouth closes on mine and we begin...our...french kiss....

As for his hands, they start to touch my...butt....

"NGH!" I push him away from our make out session. "H-H-H-Hid-d-demi, stop-stop touching my butt..."

He chuckles in my ear and brings me close to his chest, "Nope, can't promise that. It's so fluffy~"

"What?!"

"Pft--hahaha!" He puts our foreheads together. "You're so cute~"

"I am not cute!!" I pout.

He laughs more and squishes my cheeks, "Ssssuuurreeee, keep on saying that, Mr. Pouty Face~"

"Shut up!" I tried to say.

Hidemi keeps on laughing and starts to hug me, "Man, I could never get sick of you!"

I blush more.

He's the one acting cute now!!

"Stop it!!" I tried to push him off. "Y-You're...umm...." I'm trying to say it.

"What? I'm cute?" He's so cheeky!!

I nod quickly. My face...is burning lava...

He stops and stares at me. "Damn..." He pecks my lips. "If only I can steal you and make you mine~"

Mine?! Wh-What?!

He chuckles and lets go of me. "Gaahhh~ I need to work on my webcomic. Also send some emails to friends, what else?" He rambles on and on.

What...what did he mean by that?

"If only I can steal you and make you mine~"

My cheeks are burning.

Everything we do now...it's like things are back to normal.

We're okay...

We're...okay...
