Keitaro lay on his bed, he walking texting one of his childhood friends, Hiro Akiba.

“You should come to Camp Buddy!” Hiro texted him.

“What? A camp?”

“Yeah! My aunt said she'd look after my mom so I can go to this camp! Besides...we might meet someone!”

As much as Hiro wouldn't admit it, he had a crush on Keitaro which is why he said they might find someone.

He wasn't sure if Keitaro liked him back so he didn't say anything.

“Sure! Well I'll have to ask my mom and dad.”

“Knowing them they'll say no...”

“What makes you think that?”

“Its an all boy camp! There's no girls except for one. But she's a counselor.”

“And? Mom and dad are just gonna have to accept the fact that I'm gay.”

“Good luck tryna ask them. Hey, if they don't, ask if you can spend the summer at mine.”

“What good would that do?”

“Duhhh! We can go to the camp! They won't know you're there!”

“Yeah...yeah, you're right! I'll go tell them now. Or ask them first. See ya, Hiro!”

“Bye, Keitaro!”

Keitaro put his phone down and walked downstairs into the living room where his mom and dad were watching TV. “Hey mom, dad?”

“Yes, sweetie?” His mom replied. “What's wrong?”

“Can I go a summer camp?” He asked hoping for a positive answer.

“A summer camp?” His dad repeated. “Why do you want to go to- you want to go that fucking Camp Buddy, don't you!?”

Keitaro paused. “And what's wrong with going?”

“Their all going to be gay, Keitaro! We don't want you turning out like them!” His mom said, joining in the argument.

After a while they were now full on arguing, each having a different side to what they wanted.

“If you won't let me go to the camp,” Keitaro said, annoyed. “Can I spend the summer at Hiro's?”

“Hiro Akiba's? Your friend? ...fine. You can. Go pack and head over.”

Keitaro nodded and ran upstairs packing everywhere he needed for ‘going to Hiro’s’. Books, toothbrush, he even had some camp clothes that he had had previously designed hoping he'd get to go a camp. He packed everything else and ran downstairs, “Right, I'm going now! Bye, mom! Bye, dad!”

They didn't respond and let him run out the door.

He had by now texted Hiro telling him that he was coming to his so they could go to camp together.

As soon as he got there, Hiro was waiting outside with some bags. “Come on, Keitaro! The bus will be here soon!”

Keitaro laughed and ran over waiting by the bus stop with Hiro, a smile crossing his lips. Finally, he could actually meet someone he’ll love. Don't get him wrong, he loves Hiro just not in that way? He's like a brother to him and he loved him as family.

As the bus arrived, Hiro and Keitaro got on and sat beside one another talking almost instantly about all the hot guys they'd see or how everyone's personality would be.

They stopped at another bus stop. A boy walked out with some bags, he had beautiful teal eyes and blonde hair. He wasn't wearing any uniform and was wearing a yellow turtle neck sweater, blue jeans and yellow sneakers.

He stepped onto the bus and sat down at the front, his bags beside him.

His appearance caught Keitaro off guard and he found himself staring. He shrugged and turned back to Hiro where they began to talk again.

They stopped outside another bus stop where 3 kids were waiting. The first one stepped on, he looked to be about their age. He had ocean blue eyes and dark blue hair. He wasn't wearing any uniform either, he was wearing a blue hoodie and black jeans with some blue sneakers.

The 2nd kid stepped on, they had purple hair, beautiful magenta eyes and what looked like wolf ears but Keitaro shrugged it off. He had on a purple shirt and wore a black jacket with fur rimming the ends. He had black jeans on and some black boots.

And finally, the 3rd boy stepped on and Hiro fell in love. They had red hair with a blonde streak going through the middle and gorgeous red eyes, to Hiro they looked like ruby's. He had on a short sleeved red shirt and yellow shorts. He wore red and white sneakers.

The three of them sat at the back, supposedly good friends.

Instantly, Hiro and Keitaro began talking about all 4 of the boys that has stepped on agreeing and disagreeing with their looks. Soon enough, they arrived at the camp.

Hunter Springfield, who was the blonde haired boy at the front was the first to get off. Followed by Taiga, the red and yellow haired boy, then Yoichi, the purple haired boy, then Natsumi, the dark blue haired boy.

Hiro soon got off after them, Keitaro following after him.

Taiga took an immediate disliking to Keitaro and immediately started to talk to Hiro getting to know him and everything.

Keitaro smiled, seeing the joy and happiness on his best friend's face.

He turned to Yoichi, who was kissing Natsumi. They were obviously dating which made Keitaro’s smile grow. That's when he noticed Hunter.

He was sitting by a tree with a sketchbook and pencil happily drawing a rabbit that was asleep by a burrow.

Keitaro walked over and sat beside him. “Hey there.”

Hunter jumped slightly but smiled. “Hello.”

“My name is Keitaro Nagame.” He said putting his hand out.

“Hunter...Hunter Springfield.” Hunter said, shaking his hand his smile still remaining.

“I see you have a linking to art?” Keitaro said, watching him draw.

“Mhm...I draw in my spare time. But I don't really like showing people...” Hunter said turning the cover of the sketchbook over.

“That's fine, you really don't have the show me!” Keitaro said with a smile.

Hunter nodded and smiled back. “I see you've met Taiga, Hiro, Yoichi and Natsumi...”

“Oh, I knew Hiro before here. He's been my friend for as long as I can remember. As for everyone else, I never knew until I went into the bus.”

“I knew everyone apart from you and Hiro...I only know his name because I heard you mention it on the bus journey.” Hunter said, taking out a book on animals.

“You like reading, too?” Keitaro said, realising how much they had in common with each other.

Hunter nodded. “Yeah! I love to read, it gives me inspiration for my drawings.”

“I've never been much of a drawer but I've always loved to read.”

“I can see us becoming great friends, Keitaro.”

“Me too, Hunter!”
