"This is the place you'll be going to." Ikeda handed Hashira a card. "セントジェフの中毒無料治療" "Ikeda-kun, this sounds very odd." "Odder than a druggie in Sakai?" Hashira shrugged and pocketed the card. "So when do I have to start going?" "In a week, trust me this place works." "Oh yeah, how do you know?" "I was an addict once." Hashira's head peeked up like a dog as he sat on the couch right next to Ikeda, basically wagging his ass as if he was wagging his tail. "Do tell Mr. Perfect." "Mr....Perfect? Anyway, when I was your age-" "My age? How old are you? Fifty?" Ikeda laughed. "No no, nothing like that, I'm in my teen years still." "You're still a teen then, I'm fifteen, but you can't do anything intimate with me because it's only two years away or one year away!." "Oh yeah? How'd you come to that conclusion?" "Well you can drive so you're either eighteen or nineteen." "Eighteen." "Okay eighteen, so you have two years so its basically illegal!" Ikeda immediately went in and stole a quick kiss from the now stunned Hashira. "Aw man, broke the law, oh well." "Along with my sanity...What the hell'd you do that for?!" Hashira fell to the floor then coughed, standing up. "Heheh...it's kinda late and you're out of..." "Milk?" "Right milk right right right, that...I'm going to go get that right okay." Hashira went and grabbed the keys lounging on the table. "Hashira-kun, one you can't drive, two there are no stores near here, and three you don't even know where the nearest one is." "Well I'll go milk a cow!" Ikeda went and grabbed his coat, opening the door. "C'mon, let's go." "'Let's?'" "Yeah, let's, I'll drive us." Hashira blushed red and held the door shut. "No Ikeda, I'll be okay." Ikeda glared at him then laughed heartily. "Alright well, have fun in the cold." Hashira stepped out the door for a minute then ran right back in. "C'mon, you were only in the lobby way." Hashira shuddered then hid behind Ikeda. "Ikeda-kun I have a bad feeling about this..." "Using me as a meat shield huh?" "Duh, I'll get your apartment if you die." Ikeda laughed as they stepped out the door.
11:00 p.m streets of Sakai
Ikeda and Hashira stepped out of the store, while they were just gonna get milk, they ended up getting pocky and kinako sticks with one carton of milk of course. "Ikeda-kun look! Look look!" "What?" Hashira ran out into the street, going to pick up the 5,000 yen on the ground. He stood up and grinned like he just won the lottery. "Score!" Ikeda smiled then looked, seeing a car speeding down the street. In that split second, the liking of friendship was gone and bumped up when those lights flashed in Hashira's eyes. "SORA!" Hashira, to him, was no longer Hashira, no, if he just did what he did for him it's no longer Hashira, it's Sora. Sora...the name had this beautiful ring to it, Sora, Sora, he loved it, but he wasn't thinking about that, all he cared about now, Sora was in danger, and Ikeda, no, Riku, needed to save him. As that car came speeding down, Riku ran down that street, he grabbed Sora ever so tight and pulled him out the street so fast. He sat there on the sidewalk holding Sora so close, shaking violently. "Riku...you're shaking..." Riku held tighter as the tears finally fell. "Sora...Sora..." Sora hair was getting soak by the tears, but he didn't mind much. Riku kissed the top of Sora's head as more tears fell, he started to whimper and hick. Sora looked up at him, the tears now falling on his cheeks. Sora's new tears now collide with Riku's, falling down his Sora's cheeks. In that split moment, as the cars drove by, the rain threatening to come out at any minute. The lights fading as the stores closed down for the night and the houses' lights faded as people went to sleep. Riku's face went down as Sora's went up, many things collided in that moment. Their hair, their noses, but in that moment, their friendship was gone and that intimacy was created when they shared their first, proper kiss and that new flower called love was bloomed.
11:30 p.m Riku's apartment
They stepped into the apartment together, hand in hand. Sora finally spoke in the long moment of silence "I'm just gonna...put these groceries up..." "Yeah..." When they finally unlocked hands Riku, and Sora, felt the urge to grab on again, and so they did...after Sora swiftly put all the groceries up. Sora chuckled "Looks like we're two really clingy people we can't even stop..." "Yeah..." "Hey...uh...Riku?" Riku paused for a minute as his heart did an internal flip "Yeah, Sora?" Sora paused to let his heart do the same. "C-Can I sleep in the same bed as you tonight? N-No sex!! Just...sleep...and...we'll talk about everything tomorrow morning." "Everything?" "You know, if we're dating or not and things..." Riku blushed red and quickly pecked Sora's lips then walked hand in hand with Sora to the bedroom as they plopped down on the bed together and institutionally curled around each other, falling asleep.
