Taros pov

After what felt like forever, Ms Kanokogi finally came in, she apologised for being late saying she was sorting things out in another class beacause they had a substitute. Budo was still sitting beside me, i could feel everyones eyes on me, was it always like this when i hung around Budo in class? Or maybe its beacause when i only thought of him as my best friend i didnt notice..

Ms Kanokogi started doing the register, i was drawing on my hand and then i see Budos move over to mine. I looked at him with curious eyes. I didnt want to talk beacause i didnt wanna be told off by the teacher, he put his hand over mine indicating for me to draw on him after i realised what he was talking about i started to draw random little doodles on him

"Musmune Ronshaku" "here miss"
"Taro Yamada" "here miss" i say lowing my head so she wouldnt see me "Toga Tabara" "here miss"
"Budo Masuyama" "here miss" She stared at him "are you sure thats your seat?" The whole class turned back and i felt slightly anxious "comeon masuta we have discussed this before. I know you and Taro are friends but we have to stick to the seating plan, move back to your seat now." "Yes miss.."

My smile faded as Budo got up and put his things back in his backpack, while he was doing that Ms Kanokogi started teaching us. I couldn't focus at all. All i wanted was to sit with Budo but this stupid teacher had to ruin it. i looked up at him before he left trying to recreate his sad puppy eyes "dont look at me like that..you know i want to stay here but i dont need problems with her and the headmaster.." i nodded and looked down to my text book. "We have lunch next anyway"  i looked at him again and nodded then watched him go to his seat

I barely did any work, i was staring at Budo the whole time and thinking about different scenarios that included him and me together but realistically i dont even know if hes into guys..and i dont even know if im sure that i like him.. i mean this could be one of thoes 'crush on bestfriend beacuse you got noone else' i started to have bad thoughts, what if this will turn our friendship upside down...he will hate me and all thoes years together would be gone just like that..i dont want to he regected by him when my whole world is slowly turning into him...

i sigh and try to focus on my work and actually get some and notes written down, the teacher started walking around the class after she assigned the work while i was busy staring at Budo the whole time, after i could sense her staring down at me i pretend to do the work and she walked away thankfully.

~After a while~

The bell rang finnaly. I thought this lesson was gonna last forever.. anyways time to spend lunch time with Budo, nothing could go bad ri- "masuta, i need you to stay back" really. Are you kidding me right now?? This teacher is slowly starting to get on my nurves.. "yes miss" Budo says. I stay in the class waiting for him "Yamada you can wait for your friend outside class, do you want to get detention too?" "No miss" "off you go then" i sigh and leave the class

After a few minutes, which also felt like forever may i say, she finally let Budo out the class. He looked at me but i tried to avoid eye contact with him..i wasn't mad at him or anything like that..its just that these really strange thoughts are slowly taking over me..i cant stop thinking about Budo and how it would be like to spend a night with him..

we get to the roof top and start eating out bentos. It was silent.. abit too silent for comfort  "so.." Budo coughs as he speaks "whats wrong taro?" "H-hm?" I choke out, trying to stop day dreaming "whats wrong? Youre acting really strange today" yeah maybe cuz i cant stop fantasising about y- "what do you mean haha" i laugh it off and look down at my, now empty, bento box.

Obviously, Budo had to start all the conversations beacuse i was off in my own world. I really dont know what's happening to me..what is this feeling.. i can feel my stomach moving and its weird down there, but i try my best to ignore it. Budo and i went to martial arts room since ayano was busy during lunch

3rd person

Since no one was around and the doors where closed, Taro was thinking of more weird things. Like the possibility of them making out right now.. well obviously pretty low he thought to himself, he dosent even have the courage to ask abt Budos sexuality.. even though they've been friends for so long, would that be a weird thing to ask?

Maybe this is a short term thing and it will go away soon.. maybe its just that I've been touch starved for so long to the point im thinking of sleeping with my best friend.. i could've went for any of thoes weird girls who used to drool for me back then but im here questioning if i like my best friend.. ive never felt anything like that for a guy but hes so different i cant make my mind up anymore..
