Loved

9.

Hey! So author-chan here! I just wanted to say that i messed up in like the 3rd chaoter. On his first day of school. I said he was wearing a unifirm then a totally different outfit! Im sorry for those who got confused! Im just going to say that from now on they dont have uniforms. Its just easier for me if they dont.

At the school... Lunch

In first period me and Ichiru wouldn't stop looking at each other. Every time he looked at me my heart skipped a beat. Its now lunch and me and Ichiru are eating under a tree.

"Yui-chan?"

"Yes?"

"You never replied to me... When I said I loved you... Do... Do you love me?" He looks down at his food.

I glance up at him and blush lightly, "I ... I don't know... I mean... I I feel something when I'm around you... But I don't know..." I look down and twiddle my thumbs.

He laughs slightly. "Are you still convinced you're straight?" He grabs my wrist from across the table. "Look me in the eye and tell me you don't love me, Yuichi."

I look up at him. God, his eyes were so beautiful. They were like big pools of a dark blue sea, or the evening sky. "I..." I can't say it. "I..."

He smiles then. "See, I knew it. Don't you love me anymore?" He's let go of my wrist now. He was up and walking towards me. He sits next to me.

I look away, not wanting him to see my pink face. This is what love feels like, isn't it?

"Look at me, Yui-chan..." He puts his hand on my jawline and tilts my head to look at him. "You are so beautiful, Yuichi..." He leans in and.... Kisses me?!

His lips are so full. I find myself melting into the kiss. My face is very red, I know that. Ichiru licks my lips, asking for entrance. I let him in and his tongue explores my mouth. His hands are around my face and my hands are now around his waist. He pulls away from me. He smiles.

"See... You didn't pull away from me... You must still love me."

"I.... Think I do....Ichiru..." I blush, heavily.

We finish our lunch, side by side. The bell rings just as we finish. We throw away our trash and stack our trays. We head to our next class. We both have art next. I'm glad we have this period together. We link hands and walk to the art room.Once in the class, we take our seats. Right next to one another.

"Alright, class. Settle down." Reiki Sensei announces in a booming voice, "Today we will be drawing portraits. Portraits of your partner. Get started."

Ichiru and I look at each other. He smiles and I blush. We are partners, and not even by choice. It was by fate. Ichiru grabs out a piece of paper and 5 different pencils. I do the same, but only grab two pencils. He looks at me, then at the page. He starts to draw.

I study his face as he draws. His perfect profile. The way his nose curves up slightly and he bites his lip ever so slightly, concentrated. He's beautiful. I draw. Just like that. I draw his profile. We stay like this for the whole period, not saying a word. The bell rings and we pick up out stuff.

"Yui-chan!" Ichiru says excitedly, "Look! Look! I think its going pretty well, don't you?" He shows me the drawing of me. Or the start of it anyway. Its beautiful. He has the right half of my neck and the right side of my jawline. He also harps one eye fpdrawn, it looks... Full of wonder and brightness. "Can I see yours? Your drawing of me?"

I look at my hands, the drawing is in them. "No."

"What? Why not? I wanna see it!" He whines.

"Its a surprise. I gotta get to class. History." I start to walk away, hesitating slightly and looking back at him. I walk out after smiling faintly at him.

The rest of the day goes by fast. Maybe a little too fast.
