The next few days the two boys avoided each other as much as possible. Not only because of the confusion, but because they were both upset with one another. Zhang Wei was angry that Qiang could behave with such anger and Qiang was angry Zhang Wei could deny their feelings from one another.

After school Zhang Wei and Xiong walked side by side through the city. The two spoke about manga and the best bookstores to buy them from. Truthfully, manga brought the two together because now that Zhang Wei spends less time with Qiang, he spends more time with Xiong.

The two stopped at a manga book store and started to browse the collection. It was a small book store but the collection was great! Zhang Wei felt it was unfortunate he didn't have more money with him. He really wanted multiple books.

"I can lend you the money," Xiong said and attempted to hand him the money. But Zhang Wei was too prideful to just accept it.

"No, there's no need. I'll come back when I have more-"

"Buy it and any other ones you want," Qiang spoke. Zhang Wei didn't know but as he and Xiong entered the store, Qiang was driving pass and turned back around. He had just walked in when he overheard the conversation.

"No thank you," Zhang Wei said and put the manga back. He didn't know what Qiang was thinking, but that wasn't the appropriate way to apologize!

Xiong looked between the both of them and let out a breath," He's just incredibly stubborn. He will never let anyone treat him. By the way, Qiang, do you read mangas?"

"Does it look like I read mangas?" He said and walked pass him. Qiang had an usually cold attitude to him. It was a mystery to why he was so popular when he wasn't kind to anyone. Besides Zhang Wei of course.

"Zhang Wei why won't you buy it? Don't you know it's rude to deny a gift?" Zhang Wei furiously turned around. Why was Qiang always the same way? Why couldn't Qiang walk away?

"If you want to spend your money spend it on someone else!" He said and hurried away. Qiang followed behind him closely, until the two were hidden behind bookcases in the back of the store. Zhang Wei couldn't help but to think that was ironic. Qiang pressed him against the books.

"What do you want, huh? You want me to apologize for liking you? For wanting you to be real about what's going on between us two?"

"Get off of me! We're friends, that's what's going on. Why must you make it anymore than that?" Zhang Wei shouted as a low whisper. Even he knew that was a lie.

"Friends? Like you and Xiong? You're lying to me. Tell me the truth. Do you feel anything?" Zhang Wei looked away. He did feel something but he wasn't sure what it was. Did he like him romantically or was it on a friendship basis? He knew there was only one way to find out.

He crashed his lips against Qiang's. The butterflies in his stomach told him that his feelings were different. His need to feel Qiang's hands all over his body told him that his feelings were different. Everything felt different.

Qiang lowered the two on the floor until Zhang Wei was tangled in his lap. His legs wrapped around his hips as his body somehow took control and grinded into Qiang. The two were barely in their right minds anymore.

"Stop, stop, this isn't right." Zhang Wei said and quickly stood up. That was not the time or the place for such a behavior.

"What isn't right?"

"Doing such a thing on a public floor." He said and carefully looked around. Did anyone see it? They were on camera, he knew that much," What happens when they see us on the security footage?"
