A/N: A BIG thank you to my wonderful beta, friend, and RP buddy, Wufei Chang. If it wasn't for her, this fic would be all over the place...so *huggles to her* Arigatou gozaimashta!
Read and review please, minna-san!
~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~
A light breeze blew its way across the country side, ruffling the leaves in the trees and the grass in its path, as a young boy who looked no more than 10 years old sat underneath his favourite Sakura[1] tree, reading a book on Egypt.
The wind ruffled the boy's dark hair, sending it into his eyes. As he looked up to brush his hair off of his face, an elderly man walked up to where he sat.
“Come, Tatsuha. It is time to start your training.” Said child sighed at his words and stood, dreading what was to come.
He knew that years down the line, he would be able to benefit from the training and be his own master...but he did not even begin to imagine that the reality would far surpass even his wildest dreams.
**Six years later**
A motorcycle roared into the parking lot designated for students' usage. The rider, a young man, parked his vehicle and shut it off. He stretched expansively as he slung his bag over one shoulder.
Today, today was the day that his high school career would begin. Fortunately for him, said career was to take place at a boarding school. The only times he need ever go home was during school breaks, over major holidays and, of course, summer. But that was a ways away yet. First things first.
He found his assigned dormitory room, and entered, looking around. He set down the little items that he had managed to bring to school with him. It wasn't much, just his everyday clothes, a couple of sets of school uniforms, some books, a few manga, and, most importantly, his laptop.
He considered himself lucky that he'd managed to sneak so much out of the house....his father would've had a fit if the man had found out.
Quickly finishing unpacking his few posessions and placing them in their appropriate places in the room, he was standing there making sure that everything looked right, when he was startled by a soft knock on the door, right before it was flung wide open.
“Ah, gomen[2]! I'm Shindou Shuichi.....you must be the new student here....Uesugi-san, wasn't it?” the boy asked quickly. Tatsuha slowly nodded while eyeing the boy up and down. If it wasn't for his voice, Tatsuha would've immediately mistaken him for a girl.
The fact that his gay-dar had instantly begun to ping the moment the other had started speaking also gave away the boy's possible orientation. Too bad he seemed too much of a spazz for him to handle, otherwise Tatsuha wouldn't have held back.
“Come on, come on, I'll show you around the dorm!” Shuichi said excitedly as he grabbed Tatsuha by the arm, pulling him out into the hallway. Unable to insert a word edgewise over Shuichi's babbling, Tatsuha gave in, managing to close the door to his room before allowing himself to be dragged around by the pink-head.
He only half-listened to what his 'guide' was taking about, lost in his own thoughts and not really paying much attention to his surroundings. The next thing he knew, he had collided head first with someone else. The impact caused him to fall backwards, landing quite hard on the hardwood floor and bruising his butt in the process.
“Ah, gomennasai[3], Uesugi-kun. I should have watched were I was going.” The man who he had bumped into apologised. A hand appeared in his line of vision, presumably to help him up.
“Not a problem....arigatou[4]....” Tatsuha started, reaching to take the proffered hand, but paused the moment he looked up. His mouth dropped open in pure awe at the sight before him. The man looked like a model who had popped right out of a fashion magazine!
He had piercing blue eyes partially covered by light brown hair, and stood at a towering six feet tall. He wore tight black jeans which were nearly painted on, and a white shirt with ruffles around the edges that did absolutely nothing to detract from his masculinity.
Atop of his head sat a boulder hat, which unfortunately clashed completely with the rest of the look.
Mutely, Tatsuha managed to close his jaw and took the offered hand, swallowing hard as he stood, all the while still gazing at the man. Said sexpot smiled and bowed politely.
“It was a pleasure meeting you, Uesugi Tatsuha. I'll be seeing you around.” This said, he shot Tatsuha a slight wink as he walked around and past the still frozen-in-place Tatsuha, brushing lightly against his side. Tatsuha was unsure of what to do next, and half-turned in a questioning manner. The man had paused just past Tatsuha.
“Sakuma. Sakuma Ryuichi.” Ryuichi said quietly, his voice floating back to practically caress Tatsuha's ears, before he continued walking away again.
Not a moment later, Shuichi came hurtling past Tatsuha and glomped Ryuichi, sending the taller man almost off of his feet. The pink-headed boy somehow managed to get around
Ryuichi to snuggle his head into the other's chest while Ryuichi was still trying to regain his footing.
“Shu-chan, you know I'm getting too old for that!” Ryuichi said laughingly as he placed his hands on the younger man's waist for balance.
“Aw...but Ryu...” Shuichi pouted, looking up with eyes opened wide for effect. Ryuichi simply chuckled and poked Shuichi on the nose.
“No buts, Shu. Head back to your dorm room, the RA is going to be coming around shortly to see if everything is in order.” He said ruffling Shuichi's hair teasingly.
Shuichi pouted again, putting more effort into it. Ryuichi sighed, tapping his index finger on his chin, thinking.
“Hm....I believe I'm free tomorrow evening, Shu. We can hang out then, ok?” he said finally. Shuichi yelped with joy and glomped Ryuichi around the neck, kissing him on the cheek with a loud smack, before scurrying back to his dorm room before he got in trouble with the RA again, throwing a wave of goodbye to Tatsuha over his shoulder.
Ryuichi just shook his head smiling fondly, nodded once at Tatsuha, and continued his trip back to his own room.
Tatsuha just stood there in the hallway for a few minutes, trying to decipher what had just happened. He shook his head quickly and walked back to his own dorm room. Once there, he flopped facedown on his bed and sighed, rolling over onto his back, snagging the pillow from the head of the bed with one hand, and covering his face with it.
It was then that he cursed himself for being bisexual......it was going to get him into trouble, he just knew it. Only the trouble would come looking for him a lot sooner than he expected.
