This world is cruel, but at least I still have you. (A Genya x Muichiro story)

Chapter 5

"Genya, get your ass up!" A voice boomed behind his door, it was Sanemi, trying to wake his brother up for school.

"Yeah yeah I know! I'm getting up!" Genya yelled back at him, he threw on a random shirt, grabbed his book bag, and ran out of the room. He had over slept, and was still very tired, he couldn't stop thinking of how quiet Muichiro became towards the end of their hangout. Had he said something wrong? Genya was worried that he made Muichiro feel uncomfortable when he touched his hair. He hoped that wasn't the case, if it was he felt extremely guilty.

Genya opened his bedroom door, he ran out of his room while picking up his shoes and back pack. Sanemi was already in the car, he had this weird rule that if Genya wasn't in the car by a certain time, he would leave without him. And he had done it before, so Genya rushed out of the house, having only a minute until Sanemi would leave.

Genya opened the door to the car and quickly sat down in the passenger seat.

"Finally made it huh? I was about to leave you here." Sanemi said as he turned the keys in the car,

Genya sighed while he tied his shoes, not having time when he was inside,

"I don't know why you always leave so early, we have plenty of time to get to school,"

"Oh shut up, getting to school on time is like being late."

"No it's not!"

"Don't be all pissy cause you didn't get your beauty sleep," Sanemi pulled out of the drive way to start actually driving to school,

"It's not my fault you stayed out all night with the second Tokito."

Genya raised an eyebrow at his brother,

"How did you know that?"

"I was walking up the stairs when I saw him climbing the tree by your window, and when I heard your window open in the middle of the night I guessed you sneaked out with him."

"Oh, guess you were right then."

"I'm always right."

At school-

"I have to stay after school for Kendo club, so you either have to stay here or walk home," Sanemi told Genya as he walked the opposite way,

"Bye." Genya waved and started walking to his first class. He was almost there when he felt a small tap on his shoulder, he jumped a little and turn around to see Muichiro.

"Yo," Muichiro waved at him,

Genya sighed when he noticed it was just him,

"How long were you following me for?"

"Hm? Oh, for a few minutes. I didn't realize you didn't see me until a couple of seconds ago."

It was a bit odd, Muichiro wasn't exactly looking at him, he kept glancing at the floor or lockers, and his ears were again, completely red.

"Hey are you feeling ok?" Genya put his hand on Muichiro's forhead, which made the shorter boys face more red.

"You're kind of hot."

Genya noticed his poor choice in words and felt his face heat up,
"I-, I mean, like your forehead was hot." He noticed that Muichiro pulled his hair in front of his face, probably from embarrassment,

"Uhm, yeah I'm just gonna .. stop talking."
Genya heard Muichiro laugh a little,

"Let's just get to class."
The rest of their walk was filled with awkward silence, Genya wanted to say something, but he couldn't think of anything. When they finally got to math class, it went by quick, they both exchanged a few words, and accidentally glanced at each other at the same time, which led to them blushing harshly. Everything was worse when they met up with their friends for their next class.
