~'|"Senjuro's Pov"|'~
---------------

I was scared of my brother finding out what I have been doing this entire time. Not that I was embarrassed to be with someone like Yuichiro, more so what I have been doing to him. If he finds out I like Yuichiro, but also finds out why I was studying and tutoring him the entire time, he'll get mad at Yuichiro, probably never forgive him. My brother is kind, very kind, but he can be overprotective when he wants to be, he just wants me to have a good highschool experience. I'm not even sure if he'll forgive Yuichiro for what he did to me.

Yuichiro can indeed change, I know he can deep down, but how would he improve it, because I know I won't be able to keep a secret forever. I promised my brother that I will tell him anything, so keeping a secret from him for the first time scared me. He accepted me when I came out to him, but will be accept the fact I love someone who used to toy with me

He used to, I mean he still technically is, he's using my brain. But it's not the same how I was before, I actually feel like he likes me this time, he is telling the truth to me. As I was helping with groceries, I heard my brother say something,

"So tell me I won't be mad. Do you like that boy? Yuichiro?" He was straight forward, I was so quiet, I didn't even mention his name once whenever I was home, around him. Who could have told him that?! Where did he even get the idea of it?! "What makes you say that?" I asked, my entire body shaking a little, I was trying to put the groceries away but he stayed quiet for a little before he replied,

"There is a student in campus, who went to the library a couple of times and saw you and Yuichiro together most of the time, sometimes you guys get a little too close they saw, it's not embarrassing, it's alright to have a crush. But I wonder, why did you feel the need to hide it from me? Dad, I can kinda understand, but why me? You know you can be honest about your feelings..."

"I was scared....scared of what you might think of you found out I like someone, Yuichiro..."

"Yuichiro has his own record, he's rude, selfish, and bullies others. Of course what I first heard it from the kid, I was a little upset at the time. But he hasn't hurt you? Has he?"

"I mean, in the past, yes. He always used to bully me, hurt me, blackmail me even....but recently, there were changes, big ones. He been treating me with kindness....he was being honest, I guess when he heard what I was going through, he soften up, either to cheer me up or he actually was trying to change his ways. Either way, there was something about him that drew me closer, I knew he tried to protect me from others, even if he says he can only do things to me, I feel like there were other reasons ..."

"I see, well then. If that's what you want. I just say be careful, I don't exactly trust him, but unless he proves to me he can protect you, I'm perfectly fine. Afterall, it's your choice, you make the decisions within you. Whagever feels right, go for it...."

"R-right oh and ...who told you?"

"A student in my 4th period, she's quiet, but she seems captivated in your guy's little situation..."

"Really? Who then is what I'm asking?"

"Does Makomo ring a bell?"

Makomo was a student I used to somewhat friends with when we were younger, probably in middle school, but we didn't talk much after we got to highschool, if anything we became distance. Whenever we see each other we always make sure we are doing well it's been a while since I ran into her, probably because I have no classes with her at all. If anything I didn't even know she was interested in reading or even being in the library, how much was she there for? I never even noticed her.

"Yeah, she used to be a former classmate of mine...I didn't even notice she was there..."

"Makomo says she likes to go the library to help out, she's an after school library aid, and when she's not, she just likes to study, I'm sure she doesn't go towards your area often then."

Then again, I always had a feeling someone was watching us...

I always thought it was just Rui, then again this brings me back to an old conversation when I was still figuring myself out, but this time I was indeed with Rui's caretaker, Enmu .

------

"Hey Enmu...."

"What's up kid?"

"Have you ever been in love..?"

"Let's see....1...2...4...?..7.? Plenty. A lot of students thought I was incredibly stupid, but I couldn't help myself,baby do you ask anyways? Are you perhaps in love?"

"No but... I'm not even sure who do I like...I feel like I like boys but....I don't even know..."

"This is a non-judgemental zone...if you like men, you like them, I don't see a problem"

"Is it because your gay?"

"What was that?"

"Nothing -"

"I mean, as someone who dated a few guys and girl's, it just depends on who you feel like your into. It can be admiring or actually crushing. My advice, if you feel like it's right, go for it."

"As someone whose dated a little to many people...you suck at this.."

"Shut up Rui, you don't have nobody, what advice can you give"

"I -"

------

From both my brother, and from Enmu, I wonder, if I should just go for it, if I'm somewhat already accepted, I wonder, if Yuichiro should also accept it, and change.... though I won't ever force him, I just wish, there was a way, we can be together while also not being judged or brought down by others ...

That night....

"Senjuro!!! I came as soon as you asked! Me and Muichiro's fashion taste!! Your gonna look so good tonight!"

"Thanks Nezuko....."

"Also I invited Ume to do your nails..."

"Say what?!"

Was a night I would never forget...
