What is love

school

"I can't protect you with words

The only thing I can protect you with

Is actions"

"Seiichi wake up, you gotta get ready for school.... Seiichi.....wake..... Seiichi!" Feeling what seems to be a hand shaking my shoulder a bit roughly, I decide to open my eyes and give into that voice. My brows knitted together, as I'm feeling a little distraught after being awoken from my slumber, I come to the realization. That's Aki's voice, I'm in Aki's room. Everything that happened yesterday wasn't just one of my hallucinations. It happened. I don't remember going to sleep or when I fell asleep but boy was it a good dream, I don't remember any of it, that's how I know I enjoyed it.

"Wha-What's happening Aki?" I ask, sitting up and rubbing my eyes, I yawn into my hands and stretch out.

"... Ah! G-Get up we're going to be late for school, I have an extra toothbrush." Aki says this while a light blush touches his morning cheeks. He's all dressed up in his school uniform, his buttoned blazer jacket about three undone showing a plain white tee underneath. His hair is tousled and messy but somehow appears to be done. He's folding up the futon and I must admit his ass looks perfect in our school jeans. Makes me imagine all the dirty things we could be doing in that uniform. Before my thoughts can go farther into the gutter I get out of bed and look around the now bright room and see the same school uniform Aki laid out for me on the desk. I take off my shirt and proceed to do the same with my pants

"OH MY GOD. WHY ARE YOU CHANGING IN- OUT IN HERE?!" I turn around to see Aki covering his eyes as if he's walked into something sacred.

"AKI! SHUT UP OR I'LL DRAG YOU BY YOUR NOSE! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!" We both turn towards the door as we hear his mother yell from down the hall.

"Are you done changing?"

"O-Oh no not yet... but why are you making such a big deal? We're both boys." A light giggle in my voice as I finish putting on the last pair of clothing. "Done."

"I don't know... it's different with you for some reason... go brush your teeth. My mom made some egg rolls last night for us, and a packed lunch." Aki's blush deepening and he scratched the back of his head, obviously distraught.

After brushing our teeth, grabbing a few bites of food and our lunches, though Aki ends up putting both in his backpack after he notices the gaping hole in mine,, we head outside. School starts at 8:30. I wonder how we're going to make it on foot when it's already 8:00 and it takes almost thirty minutes on foot.

"I haven't used this girl in a while so she might be a little rusty, do you want to ride or sit?" I turn to where Aki is and see he has pulled out a one seater bicycle. Me and Aki riding on that together like one of those romance animes, this day has started off well. Of course, I'll be the one riding, Aki shouldn't have to work his body so early in the morning.

After telling him we both get on the bike, me standing up on the pedals and Aki sitting on the seat, with his back facing mine. I'm short enough so that Aki's head is slightly above my lower back. He rests his head against my back as I bend over a little and start pedaling. This feels good, wind in my hair, smell of fall and all the pleasing aromas that are in the air. I can feel Aki's head against my back and it's almost like we are connected, like our hearts are intertwined into one. As if multiple strings are keeping us together, so many that even if one was to get cut there would be million more holding us together.

Barely making it on time we park the bike in the designated area and run the rest of the way. We burst into homeroom right when the bell rings and everyone turns towards us, mixed looks on their faces. Most guys were just looking a little confused, while the girls were giving me obvious dirty looks, probably wondering what I'm doing with the schools idol Aki. Aki not seeming to understand or mind the looks walks in with his usual confidence and waves me goodbye with a smile still evident on his face. He isn't trying to ignore me, thank god. Classes roll around as they usually do, but well into fourth period is when I hear it.
