| Seiko's POV

Hiro entered the room, gently closing the door behind him. He didn't have any suspicious behavior but I was nervous to say anything. I pulled the covers back over my bare legs since I didn't have any pants on.

I can't believe I was laying in Hiro's bed with no bottoms on.

Hiro wore a grey compression shirt with grey joggers and there was a silver chain that hung around his neck. His hair was damp and messy so he had to have just taken a shower.

I clenched the sheets, staring down at my own lap as I waited for the words to pierce my heart. The amount of anxiety I felt would put a deranged person to shame.

But I knew that he knew and he knows that I know that he knows.

I closed my eyes waiting for the first words he decided to throw at me. I waited, waited and waited some more but there was only silence.

He must think I'm a freak!

He was taking too long to say something and so I decided to break the ice and explain everything, "I-."

"Are you okay? I think you should stay away from drinking or getting high for awhile. You honestly can't handle it." He said with a little laugh and I rose my head to look at him. He had a pretty easy going attitude despite his discovery.

"H-Huh?" I looked at him with bewilderment, surprised at his reaction. "W-Wh-."

He brought a chair out and plopped down with his arms folded over his chest as he stares at me, "Apologies for removing your clothing. I didn't know where you lived so I brought you back to where I stay," he explained. "And I really didn't want to lay you on my bed when you smell like unknown chemicals."

"I-Is this your shirt?" I asked, tugging at the fabric a little. I understood everything he was saying. I'm not surprised that he was so considerate of me. Hiro was truly so nice and it kinda irked me. A part of me felt like I didn't deserve it. I felt like I was constantly getting in his way or giving him a hard time.

"Yea, I didn't know what else to give you," he smiles at me. I blushed at his beautiful face. I mean, it should be a crime to look this good. "Thank you." I showed my gratitude.

"Anytime," he nods his head and then he rubbed the back of his neck. "I uh.. didn't know you were...a-."

"I suffer with flat chest syndrome!" I said before he came to any conclusions with my heart racing. "I..uh.. it runs in the family."

He sat there with wide eyes before he started laughing and I promise it was the most soft, melodic tone I've ever heard. I tuck my hair behind my ear.

"I don't care what you are," he says and my fingers were trembling with excitement. What if Hiro really accepted me for who I am? "I was a little shocked at first but.. it blew over. Is your name really Seiko?"

"Yes!" I felt like my heart was going to explode because I've been wanting to discuss this with someone for so long. "I..I-....-."
