Just a bit. (Leohiro)

Oops? Could this be a mistake?

     Boy. The word seemed like it echoed the room now, and Kuwata stared down at you, looking just as frightened.  "Hold on a minute, Chi.." He muttered to himself, though you could swear it was directed towards you. "You're a dude?!"

    '...Well, duh.' You thought to yourself, resisting the urge to roll your eyes. "Y-Yes..?" You tilted your head, your bangs falling into your eyes as you now blinked to attempt to get them out.

     "When did you.. Y'know.. Find this out?" He asked softly, leaning down to you. You squinted. "Find what out..?" Kuwata looked confused.... To the extreme. He blinked a few times, bringing his hands up to his face as he stared to the floor.

     "W-Wait. You.. You're not one of those transdudes? I mean- Everyone knows about Makoto but.. You?" He continued to ramble on, so you brought a hand up to his mouth, pinching his lips shut.

     "Kuwata. I. Have. A. --" Dare you say it?
 Leon froze up. "Dude.. No.. Don't.. Don't even say that to my face.." Well, your point got across... Finally, you hoped. Though at this point, you were regretting your decision.

It was definitely a surprise when he swept you off of your feet and spun you around.. Though he seemed wary of your skirt now, holding it down. "You didn't need to hide this from me, Chi! I mean, everyone knows Mondo's gay as hell, so... It's fine if you're all hot for me too, right?" He said as he sat you down. striking a small pose. You finally rolled your eyes. He was flexing the muscles he... Surely thought he had. Nothing compared to Oowada.

     "Leon.. That thought is probably nice and all but I.. Never said anything of the sort?" You squeaked out only to be interrupted by a loud Leon yet again- "As mousy as ever aren't you?!" He bent down cupping your face in his hands. "You can totally admit it. I might even, like, hold your hand or something!"

     You definitely had to hide your face at his gesture. But.. You'd held his hand several times before this. Was it a forbidden action now?

     "Kuwata.. Are you not gay?" You had accidentally spoken your mind, and now you had to pay the price. He shot backwards, clenching his shirt and breathing heavily. "Ch-Chihiro Fujisaki..!" He yelped. "Dude, I totally like chicks! I mean everyone knows I'm a total ladies man and.. What cute girl could resist me, right?!" He eyed you, and you... Surely noticed that. The ladies remark was what started it.

     "And yet you still wonder what hides under my skirt, right?" You asked, attempting to seem innocent... For once, it didn't work. He looked attacked. "You've shown interest in me since day one and so... You can't fight that, right?"

     You watched as he stared at you, trying to process his own thoughts. He didn't know what he was going to respond with. He.. Did like girls, right? Right.

     "I never said I was curious of that..! And I definitely never said I was into dudes!"  You were fed up by now. "Kuwata." You put on your best "concerned dad" impression, as.. That's what your father would have done to you.

     "I can be honest.. So why can't you? You've always seemed so... Caught on how everyone expects you to be."

     Your day had closed like that. He left, refusing to talk to you in front of anyone else. You'd caught him looking at you throughout the day, squinting. You had a lot to worry about.. But it was for him. Not you.
