Kiyoshi and Tommy

thirteen

(Warning: mature content)

Tommy's POV:

I skip off the bus, excited.

Okay. I know I said school sucked yesterday.
But that was before I got his number.

I giggle and pull on my backpack straps.

I catch up with Kiyoshi.

"Hey!" I say. He smiles at me and I blush. At least, I think he smiled. He is wearing a mask.

"Uh... you look kinda tired." I point out.

He nods. I guess he didn't sleep well.

We both get in our seats for homeroom.

The teacher comes in,"Hello class," he says,"Today we are going to be studying on Shakespeare. After school you will all split up in groups of two and make a poem with your partner. Understood?"

There are murmers from the class.

I turn to Kiyoshi,"Wanna be partners?" I blush at the sound of that,"F-for the t-test, I mean. Not like... like, partners partners." I laugh nervously.

He laughs a little and nods.

"Sweet, meet up at your house then?"

Again, he nods. Yay! I'm going to Kiyoshi's house!

"Hey, Mom?" I say into the phone,"Me and Kiyoshi are working on our test and I was wondering if I could spend the night? Really? Thanks!"

I hang up and look at him.

"She said yes." I say, smiling.

We work for awhile on our poem ideas until we are both pretty much ready to pass out.

Kiyoshi passes me a pair of pajamas,
"Here," he says,"you can wear these."

I nod and go get changed.

When I come back he's already in bed. I lay on the other side and close my eyes,"Goodnight, Kiyoshi."

He mumbles a response.

I smile and fall asleep.

.........

I have the greatest dream.

Kiyoshi and I are laying in bed.

I'm on top, our bare chests pressing against each other.

We are kissing.

I feel his warmth radiating against me.

It's wonderful.

My legs are beside his torso, and his arms are around me.

I sigh in pleasure.

"I love you, Kiyoshi." I say.

"I love you too, Tommy."
