Hello there!!,.. really enjoying your collections here!!!,.. So, heres mine again!!,.. Another collections of mine!!!^____^,... [/img] This photo was made using multiple techniques,.. Kure color, marker pen, washed water color and a pen as well,...^^,. [/img] while this one was made by HB pencil and an ordinary pencil as well,..^^,...

Well, I'm not that much of an artist... I'm more of a writer, myself, but I thought I'd share what I have done. This was the best traditional thing I've done. The title of this piece is Enchanted, and was drawn for my high school art 4 project. (We had to complete a sketchbook by the end of the semester, to show our progress though the semester.) This one is the last digital edit. I used a base from deviantart and edited the clothes and hair in MS Paint, then edited in the background. Tis Sephiroth and Genesis. And this is something that's gotten me a good bit of attention. I tested out my photoshop skills using a stock image from a friend of mine. This is the result:

This story takes us back on a much deeper understanding of the love between Suzuki Takeshi and Morita Toru from Takumi-kun: The Rainbow-Colored Glass. This is a story of love, friendship and the the ties that bind even from beyond. This story have gone through several revisions, formats and had taken several months to accomplish. I am finally pleased with the results and I hope I have given them justice. Hope you enjoy this experience. Special thanks to BLFreakgirl who made a personalized wallpaper image of this couple for me back in March. and Yuuchan (yunake) who made a fanvid of them for me. To everyone who continue to inspire me and encourage me, my heartfelt gratitude to you all. "The time between meeting and finally leaving is sometimes called falling in love." - Lisa Loeb Suzuki Takeshi Morita Toru OF LOVE AND LOSS “So what do you think?” Gii eyed Suzuki curiously. “About what?” Suzuki replied not breaking his gaze on the chess board. “Oh come on! You know exactly what I'm talking about.” Gii looked at him amused. “No, I don't know what you're talking about. If this is your way of breaking my concentration, forget it.” Suzuki shook his head and moved his chess piece and batted the timer. “Kazuki Takahashi. The sophomore I introduced to you the other day. What do you think of him?” “He's okay, I guess.” Suzuki shrugged. “Okay? That's it? That's all you can say about him? Didn't you guys hit it off right away?” Gii looked surprised. “No, we didn't. I wasted 10 minutes of my time having to listen to someone ramble on and on what an amazing person Saki Giichi is. If you're trying to show off your fan boys to me in this school, it's not working.” Suzuki replied nonchalantly. “What the hell? I swear I thought he totally liked you. That weasel! He's gonna hear it from me.” Gii sounded very annoyed. After procuring such a potential guy for Suzuki and that person blew it. Damn it! “Nah! Forget about it. Seriously, dude..why you even bother introducing me to anyone. I already told you I'm not interested. You've already introduced 15 guys to me since last year. And I didn't even ask you to.” Suzuki smirked at him while he scratched his eyebrow with his thumb. “Well, I didn't want you to be lonely, that's all.” Gii smiled but his eyes looked at his old friend with genuine concern. “I'm not lonely. I'm fine.” Suzuki looks at him assuredly. He knew Gii was being worried about him again. Gii is one of the closest people in his life who is privy to his health condition. “Are you sure? 'Cause you look like you really need some company.” Gii obviously didn't look like he was giving up. “I swear Gii if you were not born to inherit your father's company, you would definitely have a promising future being a pimp for a club or a bar.” Suzuki chuckled. “Now that's just mean.” Gii sat back and frowned at his friend who obviously didn't look like he was taking it back. Gii narrowed his eyes studied him for two seconds and leaned over and said, “You really think so? I could be a great pimp?” He grinned. “Hai.” Suzuki nodded assuredly. “Good to know.” Gii nodded and smiled and moved a chess piece and batted the timer. The door opens and a tired-looking Akaike Shozo walks inside the room. “Tadaima.” “Okaeri.” Gii and Suzuki chorused. “How was your day in the office, darling?” Gii gives him a naughty smile while batting his eyelashes in rapid succession. “Not so bad. What are you two girlfriends talking about while I was gone?” Akaike took off his blue jacket, put it on a hanger and deposited it into the closet. “Fuck buddies.” Gii shrugged. “Dorm sex slaves.” Suzuki yawned. “Right.” Akaike snerked as he began untying his necktie. He wasn't the least bit surprised anymore with the choice of language those two shared when there were only the three of them together. Had they stopped talking like that then that would be just plain weird. He took off his white uniform and put on a fresh blue shirt. He decided he'd take his pants off later. He stretches himself on his bed and relaxes his head over his forearms. “So which of you two losers are winning?” He looks at them. “Me of course as usual.” Suzuki raised an eyebrow with genuine pride. “Not even close, nerd.” Gii frowned. “Checkmate in two, pretty boy.” Suzuki smirked. “Liar!” Gii huffed but his eyes roamed wildly at the chessboard wondering where those two moves were going to come from. Suzuki grinned, made his move and just like that, he won. “What the hell?” Gii looked at the chessboard aghast. “See? I told you, I'd get you in two moves.” Suzuki laughed triumphantly. “Whatever.” Gii turned away to face Akaike who was now leisurely browsing a sports magazine. “So how was your day like? Let me guess, the rich little brats have been picking a fight with the other rich little brats in class?” Gii raised an eyebrow obviously amused. “Well, yeah, there's that. They were about to stab each other with pencils. PENCILS! Stupid jerks.” Akaike shook his head in irritation as he flipped a page of the magazine he is reading. “I'm glad I don't work for the discipline committee.” Gii laughed. “Yeah but you got a trail of fan boys who follow you around like ducklings every single day.” Suzuki rolls his eyes as he put the chess board and chess pieces away before moving to sit on the edge of the bed because Gii is now lying on his stomach and has already occupied most of the entire bed space. “Oh yeah. That. Damn it.” Gii buried his face on the pillow and groaned. “Anyway, there was someone interesting today. Transferee. Freshman. Morita something. I forgot. Anyway, he arrived this morning to school accompanied by his mother. Quiet kid. Kinda shy but has inquisitive eyes. Matsumoto-sensei assigned me to tour him around the school on Monday since it'll be his first day.” Akaike yawned, laid the magazine on his bedside table and stretched his arms. “Transferee, huh? We don't get those types much in this school, do we?” Gii asked. “Nope. Not much at all. Quite a rarity actually. But the kid passed the requirements of this school so he's gonna be studying here for sure.” Akaike now stands up and starts to pull out a fresh pair of white pajamas from the cabinet. “Gii, come on, man. It's late. I'm sleepy. Go back to your room. Now.” Suzuki punches Gii's leg and tries to push him off the bed. “Don't wanna. I still wanna play with you, guys.” Gii whined and frowned but reluctantly moved away from the bed. “If you don't leave, we're gonna tell Hayama about this American greeting kiss thing and that you just made it all up.” Akaike grinned. “Alright, alright, fine. I get it. Goodnight, ladies. I'll see you both tomorrow.” Gii grudgingly heads towards the door. But only a few seconds after he has closed the door behind him, he opens the door again, sticks his head out and gives the biggest pout he could muster. “You're not gonna tell him, I just made that up, would you? I'd never get an excuse to kiss him in the open anymore. You know how I love it when he looks so flustered and cute when I do that.” “GOOD NIGHT, YOU SADIST! “ Suzuki and Akaike yells at him and throws a pillow which hits Gii right in the face and they all laugh.

Chapter 11 - Last wish. -Sanoo!! Where are we going? You're bleeding,damn it!-Narayama shouted,while the both were in the middle of one the street. -Stop screaming like a baby,Narayama.I don't know where to go and I don't care about the wound which is bleeding.-Sano shouted back. -Here it is...You're angry again...Now what? Instead of jumping on me,you will kill me this time?-Nara said with ironic note in his voice. -Don't even say that...I'll kill you. You're the most important person in my life,Narayama.Please.....forgive me for screaming..I'm just too confused.-Ichiro sighed,hugging tightly the other male. Hitoshi just smiled,hugging the other back and kissing his forehead. In the end,the two males decided to go in Hitoshi's house,because they thought that there will be better to stay,instead of being in Sano's house where Akira could find them easily. In the same time in Eiji was sitting in the living room with his broken phone in hand,because when he threw it away after the conversation with Akira,the phone broke. He looked at the clock on the wall and sighed.There were left few hours to relax,before to meet with Masato and see how he was. Because of one fucking mistake now his brother hated him.He was such an idiot to let this happen just now. It was already nightfall.It was raining and it was cloudy.Narayama was preparing something,because the both with were so hungry.Sano's wound was already bandaged,but he was in the kitchen with Nara,didn't want to lay on the bed. -So,what do you think to do now?-Hitoshi asked his lover. -I may go out for a walk soon and I need to go to take some things from my house.Don't worry,I'll come back.-Sano smiled.He was behind the other boy now,watching carefully how he was cooking. -You're like a real wife.-Ichiro joked. -Of course,I'm your wife after all.-Nara joked back,turning his head to steal a kiss from Sano. Soon as Ichiro said,he went out.Of course it wasn't exactly a walk,but more like he went to take revenge for yesterday.It wasn't difficult to find where were Masato's people and Sano knew that. He found few of them and beat them really badly.He wasn't worried about the police,because it was normal these days.Every single day many people were beaten like dogs in fights and no one cared about that.Usually Sano wasn't the type who was going to beat someone, but after what happened,he was ready to kill and his own brother for participating in such a thing. After he finished with the males,Sano leaved a simple message for Masato and the others: "The next time when we meet,I will pull out your hearts and will give its to the dogs." Ichiro went and to his house,to take few clothes and things which he needed.Just when he was ready to leave he saw the blood on his shirt and hit his head with a hand. How could he forget to change his clothes?The boy ran to the bathroom,took a shower and dressed himself,then leaved the house. One hour after Sano beat Masato's people,Akira went to want help from them for another problem with some school guys.He found the message on the ground and read it. -Sano.....-the male squeezed the paper where the message was written and clenched teeth.He took his phone and rung to Eiji. -Yeah...?-Eiji answered.He just woke up,preparing for the meeting with Masato. -You...and your fucking brother...Be prepared Eiji...I'll make your life Hell.-after these words Akira closed the phone.He rung to another guy - his right hand - Saito. -So,you understood me,right? I want him tonight,no matter what.-Akira said.He was so content from his plan that he couldn't even believe that he could think something like that.Soon he would show to Eiji and Sano that they don't have to play with him. In the same time - Eiji and Masato's meet. -How are you feeling?-Eiji asked,seeing how bad Masato was looking. -Hah,like you really care about me.-Masato mumbled. -I do...Never mind.It's not time for argues now.We have to do something,because everything is out of control.-Eiji said,looking at the other guy with very worried face. -Like I don't know Eiji...But what can we do? Look what Akira did to me?Do you think that someone can stop him?He's a monster.-Masato sighed. -You know,I think that Sano did something again...Because Akira called me...And he said that I have to be prepared.-Eiji sighed as well. -THAT IDIOT! I'm 100% sure that he went to fight with my people...You had to stop him!-Masato yelled,but few seconds ago,he felt his stomach hurting so badly and he squeezed the place from where the pain came. -Are you okay?-Eiji jumped from the chair where he was sitting,grabbing Masato's hand to see what happened. -...Your wound is opened...Let me help you..-he smiled lightly,grabbing few bandages from the table next to the bed where was Masato and doing everything which he had to,to close the wound. -Thank..you..-Masato mumbled,looking away. -Idiot,I'd do everything for you...-Eiji chuckled. -Don't say something so strange...And you didn't answer to my question...Why didn't you stop Sano?-Masato tried to sound more calm now other way the wound would open again. -And I have to ask you,why did you try to kill my brother?-Eiji finally became serious. -Because....You know Eiji...when it becomes to Narayama...I can kill everyone...And just...imaging how Ichiro was hurting my precious friend...made me really pissed off.-Masato tried to explain. -I think that...We both made our biggest mistake by even trying to hurt Sano,eh?-Eiji grinned ironic. -It seem so.-Masato grinned as well. Narayama was still waiting for Sano to come back when someone knocked on the door.The boy went to open the door,but there was no one.He went out to see and then,someone hit his head,pushing him immediately in one black car and leaving. Hitoshi's last wish before to swoon was to see Sano's face one more time,but was it possible?

Akaike rubbed his temple and sighed. He understood Gii's predicament more than anyone. They have not been friends for nothing after all. But there were those days that he wanted to whack his friend's head so hard just to make him realize what he's doing. Thank God, I'm not involved with anyone yet so I don't get myself in this kind of mess. “Damn it. Takumi thinks I am interested in Morita-kun.” Gii's voice was heavy with annoyance. “Then why won't you just tell him the truth so he won't get confused like this? I know you mean well but your methods are sometimes...I dunno...desperately smart.” “Desperately smart? What the hell's that supposed to mean?” Gii looked at him irritatedly. “I was just being nice. I would call you an idiot but I know that's not what you wanna hear right now. Look, I'm not gonna meddle your affairs with Hayama. But he does have a right to know what your plans are regarding Takeshi and Morita-kun.” “I just don't want to burden him with these things. I know how sensitive he can be. Besides, I thought it would be nice if he could be friends with Morita-kun too. But with the way things turned out, looks like that's not happening.” Gii leaned backwards on the leather couch. “Well, I'm more worried about Takeshi. I've consulted my parents about it but even they are fearful about the prognosis. All I can do is do whatever I can to help him. Being his roommate was actually a good thing. I can't believe he'll be leaving us so soon.” The normally unflappable Akaike looked away. Gii could see the unsteadiness in his eyes. The worry forming on his forehead. The way he was grinding his teeth, a habit he did whenever he was very anxious about something. The two friends shared an uneasy silence between them. They have tried everything they could and hoping within hope that through their efforts some form of miracle will overturn Takeshi's fate. But right now all they could do was pray and support each other at this trying time. Make the party Gii planned to be the best experience for their friend and Morita. Time was running out. Everything else can wait. Even Takumi. ---------------------------------- Gii chose to keep his mouth shut after Takumi's outburst. There was no point in arguing about it really since there was no basis to what his boyfriend was suspecting him of. He sighed as he watched his lover pull up the covers over his head. Yeah, he was definitely sulking again. It was not like Gii was hiding the truth from him, more like he just did not want to burden him with the painful reality of Suzuki's condition at least not yet anyway. He realized how much the blissful ignorance Takumi had was the one thing that still somehow put his mind at ease. The longer Takumi did not know then he would not see his lover looking so tragic in his eyes. He was very aware how sensitive he could be and especially right now. But it was enough only he and Shozo knew about Suzuki. It was what he had wanted it to be. He was also fully aware that Takumi still had not invited Morita to the party as he had requested him to do. He could not risk any more delays. From the moment he saw Takeshi using only one hand to do things, he knew there wasn't much time left to waste. Time was of the essence. If you want something done, it is best to do it yourself. And with that thought, Gii stood up from his bed and quietly left the room. ======================================= Morita was yawning and about to get ready to bed after he carefully bookmarked his new favorite book, Fractale. He hears a knock on the door and wondered who could it be. It was strange to have a visitor at this time so he suspected it would be a classmate reminding him of some assignment he needed to do for the weekend. But what greeted him as he opened the door nearly took his breath away. For there standing was a smiling Saki Giichi. He looked so different without his uniform coat on. He wondered what god had this time brought the great Saki Giichi of all people in Shidou High to knock on his door at this time of night. Morita swallowed, his eyes wide and he thought he must have looked like a complete doofus at this very moment. “Morita-kun?” Gii smiled. His eyes seemed to sparkle, Morita thought. Why did things seem to be much cooler whenever Gii-senpai was around? “Hai.” He nodded. He felt his cheeks beginning to burn. Being this close to Gii-senpai, he could observe how gorgeous the man actually is. Saki Giichi is definitely Shidou High's superstar idol. Now I see why my classmates are fussing about him so much. The closest he ever got to him was whenever he happened to pass by the corridors or the hallway and the occasional visit to the cafeteria. He was rarely alone. He was always surrounded by people. And so all he could do was bow his head courteously at his presence and Gii would walk past him nonchalantly like he always did. “I'm inviting you to my private Halloween party happening tomorrow. You don't have to come in costume or anything. Just come as you are. Don't bother with gifts either. Everything's all set. I'll see you at the mini theater at around 11:00AM. You got that?” “Hai.” Morita nodded happily. “Oyasumi, Morita-kun.” “Good night, Gii-senpai.” He bowed and closed the door. Oh crap! What just happened? That was a true blue authentic party invitation and not just ANY kind of party..a PRIVATE party at that, hosted by Gii-senpai. The Saki Giichi himself! Shimatta! I forgot to thank him! Morita Toru, you IDIOT! After reality has finally sunk in for Morita but by the time he opened the door again, Gii had already gone. He quietly closed the door and slid on the floor. Oh my god...will Suzuki-san be there too? With that thought, Morita covered his face. He had never been to a private party before, much less a Halloween one. The only parties he ever attended where those from family. New Year and birthdays. This is going to be a big deal for sure. One he will never ever forget. I hope he comes to this party. No way he would miss something like this, right?

Suzuki was feeling the stress of using only his left hand while he worked on his tasks in the science club room. So many thoughts came to mind as he looked outside the window. He needed to make his current light refraction experiment work. He intended to make this his legacy to the Science club. He examined his right hand and tried to move his fingers, seeing that they did not respond and only hurt, he stopped. Gii had told him about what happened to his consultation with specialists in the States. He could not bear to watch the deep regret in Gii's eyes that time. He has never seen his friend so afraid and unsure for as long as he's known him. Gii felt like he had deeply failed his friend and himself. The prognosis was grim. He tried to forget how his parents sounded on the phone during his last conversation with them the other evening. He was going to delay the inevitable as long as he can. Gii and Shozo were very aware of the non-mobility of his hand. He had been advised by his doctor to report the slightest symptoms but he made his two friends swore not to tell anyone. He was determined to see this through. He still had one good hand. He could still do many things while he still can. He was not going to give up too easily. He looked at the references he had on his table and noticed he was missing a book he needed to complete his experiment. --------------------------------- Morita had again declined another club invitation from his classmate. Ever since he arrived Shidou, the students have been very enthusiastic to invite him to club activities. If there was a mystery book club or a library club invitation, he would have said yes in a heartbeat. But there were no such clubs in existence in Shidou much to his dismay. The library had been his source of peace and here with the wealth of mystery books it provided, he felt right with the world again. He found his book and settled on the long oak table and turned to a page that he bookmarked earlier. Time seemed to have passed and Morita was deeply immersed in his book when he felt a sudden presence that made him look up. And there stood Suzuki on a stool reaching for a book on the shelf. A smile came to Morita's face. Another chance of seeing him again, he thought happily. He thanked again whatever gods that made him decide to stay in the library at this very moment to catch a sight of the young man. He noticed that he was browsing the bookshelves with his left hand while the other hand remained in his pocket. He didn't know what was the deal with that but he thought it best not to pry too deeply. What made him mad with curiosity was what kind of book did Suzuki borrow from the library. He made a mental note to find out about it later. Truth be told Morita was actually anxious to talk to him. But for the life of him he was tongue-tied whenever the other boy appeared. To calm his anxiety, he did his own research to find out certain details about Suzuki Takeshi and it made him even more curious than ever. He wanted to know more. To him, he was like a mystery but he was not sure yet if he wanted to solve or continue being fascinated with. He found out he kept company with one of the most respected and most popular students of Shidou namely Saki Giichi, Akaike Shozo, Hayama Takumi and Takabayashi Izumi. What would it take to be part of such a tight group if only to get close to Suzuki? But he realized it was going to be hurdle since he was still a freshman and a transferee at that. It seemed Suzuki was taking his sweet time browsing at the book shelves. He already found the book he needed. He recalled that feeling of utter surprise finding Morita in the library as he entered. Perhaps saying a few words to him would be nice but seeing how immersed he was in his book, he doubted if the other boy even noticed his presence. It would have been rude of him to disturb his reading. Yet a sense of warmth enveloped him having seen Morita again. That was all the mattered for now. He really should be able to talk to him next time but he had a task waiting for him in the science club room that needed his attention. He reluctantly stepped down the stool and walked away to find the librarian. The book he held in his hand was Fractale. ------------------- Morita inhaled the crisp breezy air as he relaxed by the bench calmly watching the window across him. Suzuki was like clockwork and it didn't take much effort for Morita to find out the time he would be at the science club room. He chuckled at the thought of him being some kind of stalker but he knew he was far from it. He did sense there were some students who were quite helpful with him whenever he made some inquiries about the sophomore. When he found out Suzuki was the science club president, he could not quell the excitement in his heart. Now here he was several meters away enjoying the quiet surrounding while adjusting his vision as rays of colored light shone reflected across the windows. He gently ran his fingers over the red book on his lap. Fractale. Speaking of helpful students, Hayama-senpai had been one of them. If it wasn't for him, he would not have been able to find this book. Yet he felt rather curious at his senpai's seemingly odd behavior these past few days. There had been several times he had been approached by Hayama-senpai and at each time he looked like he was going to tell him something only to stop himself. He wondered if he had said something to offend him but their earlier exchange ended abruptly when he admitted he felt a bit envious that he got to be friends with such great people. But he did mean it. How he wished he could see Suzuki as casually as they could.

“Ah more assignments...sometimes I feel like an employee at my dad's company.” Gii closed his eyes as he gently massaged the bridge of his nose. He sighed then looked at the stack of folders on the oak table. “The student council is swamped so they asked for our help. The sooner we get these things up to speed, the sooner we can all move past this.” Akaike shrugged and continued making notes on the pad paper. “Oh yeah...speaking of Student Council...was it Misu who asked the favor?” “Uh huh..” Akaike nodded. “I see. Was he alone in the Executive Room? Or was Ooji with him?” Gii continued. Akaike took a momentary pause from writing and raised an eyebrow at Gii's question. Strange that he would bother even asking such a question but seeing no harm in it, he replied. “No. That freshman kid Shingyouji was with him.” “Ah, that guy. He's like some kind of puppy always following him around. You think Misu likes him?” Gii mused. “I don't know and it's none of my business either. Besides, with that guy...it's hard to tell what's going through that head of his.” Akaike replied but continued making his notes without looking up at Gii. “I guess you're right. But speaking of liking someone. You remember what happened in the cafeteria the other day, right?” This time Akaike looked at him. “Yeah...and your point is?” He figured Gii was up to something and was going to get him involved in it as well. Not that he minded very much but if there was anyone in this school who was most concerned of Suzuki's health and love life...it would have to be Gii. He had been pimping his friend to every candidate he thought was worthy of his attention and possibly affection. All of which have been declined by Suzuki who didn't show the least bit of interest.. “Maybe we should do something about it to bring them together. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate. Just make it as subtle as possible. Like you know...we make up some opportunities so they can see each other around in school a lot. Something like that. Takeshi and Morita-kun should figure out what to do with the rest.” “Well, you can start by NOT pimping Takeshi with other guys then.” Akaike smirked. “Oh yeah..of course! None of that. Club Gii is now officially closed!” Gii laughed. Akaike merely shook his head. --------------------------------------------- True to his word, Gii began to put his plan into action. He tapped into his own network of Shidou students to keep an eye on Takeshi and Morita. Making them meet at times or at least pass the same hallway. The library, the cafeteria, the school grounds, the dorm building, the lobby. He had to work as subtle as possible. He didn't want to arouse any suspicion from the two. Gii may have given up his role as pimp but he sure as hell was not gonna give up on the chance for his friend to find someone meaningful in his life. If there was something he was good at aside from the all the other things people deemed him as being an expert of, he was a natural-born strategist. He learned from the best. He wasn't the sole heir of a business empire for nothing. But there was also that side of Gii who would go the extra mile for a friend and Takeshi had been a good friend since their freshman days. Since day one, Takeshi was straightforward in his views. He was always his own person. He didn't hang around Gii for the superficial self-serving reasons like other people did. Takeshi was just Takeshi. No ifs and buts about it. Intelligent, analytical, reliable, witty, loyal and determined. If Akaike was his right hand man, Takeshi would definitely be his left. Takumi would be his heart. He smiled at the thought. Gii also knew time was running out and he needed to act fast. His recent trip to the States proved to be a crushing disappointment. He squeezed his eyes shut as if trying to block the conversation he had with the specialist regarding Suzuki's delicate health condition. ----------------------------- Morita thought his heart was going to jump out his chest as he passed by Suzuki at the hallway towards the library. They were walking at opposite directions. He mustered up his courage to walk nonchalantly but he could feel his cheeks heating up so he simply bowed his head in recognition and kept his eyes on the floor. Had they made eye contact, he would be standing there frozen. It was never Suzuki's style to walk with his eyes on the floor. His confidence would not allow it nor would his personality. It's just that Morita seemed to pop up at the oddest of times and before he could utter a word of greeting to the freshman, Morita would simply bow his head and keep walking away with his head low. How in the world was he supposed to react to that? It would have been suspicious if he followed him. What if he was the only one feeling this way? He turned around and walked towards the stairs. Perhaps next time they pass by each other he hoped they would be able to strike a decent conversation. It is at this moment, Morita takes a peek from the wall where he hid to catch a glimpse of Suzuki walking away. A happy smile etched on his lips. A feeling of contentment having seen him for the day. He thanked whatever gods there were to make such moments possible for them to meet even without an exchange of words. To Morita, these days were special. The more he saw him, the more his admiration grew. He wanted to know more and more about Suzuki Takeshi if only he wasn't consumed so much by his bouts of nervousness. He always felt tongue-tied whenever he saw him. What would he say? What if he was the only one feeling this way?

The days moved on and neither of them could ever forget that first encounter they had that evening. Suzuki visited the phone booth every night at the same hour hoping to catch a glimpse of the mysterious boy whose gentle eyes he could not forget. That sweet indulgent laughter and the shy smile. But he never showed up. He had contemplated about asking Akaike regarding the identity of this boy but there was something about him that he wanted to find out for himself. It was his discovery and he wanted to find out more about him through his means without the help of anyone else. It dawned to him that he did not want to share this knowledge with the ones closest to him either, at least not yet until he found what he needed to know. A name. Another chance meeting. Any excuse to see him once again. He was rather surprised at how tongue-tied he was that fated evening. For the first time in his life, he has never experienced anything quite like it. He wondered if that boy was thinking about him too. Did he think about him in the same way as he did? Or has he forgotten the whole incident already? Shidou is really a large place after all. Suzuki's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door. “Yo!” Gii smiled as he walked into the Science club room. Suzuki was arranging the tools he would need for his new experiment. Gii noticed a red book on the desk with the word “Fractale” on it. “What's this about?” “Why do you wanna know?” Suzuki eyed him curiously. “Just because...” Gii shrugged and opened the book and browsed a few pages. Suzuki smirked. Science was not Gii's strongest suit nor had the patience for it despite being a smart student. Though they both shared a similar passion for seeking answers to certain mysteries, Suzuki preferred a more solitary approach while Gii preferred to tap into connections and resources. He wanted answers fast. “So what brings you here, Gii?” Suzuki took the book away from Gii and placed it together with the other reference books on the wooden shelf. He made a mental note to return the book to the library first thing in the morning. “Oh, well the guys and I are gonna hang out at the cafeteria. I just came by to fetch you.” Gii smiled at him. “Okay, sure thing.” Suzuki unplugged the PC then turned off the light in the room and locked the door on their way out. “I'm hungry.” Gii grinned. “You're always hungry.” Suzuki snickered. When they arrived the cafeteria, Akaike waved at them. He was seated near their favorite spot by the glass windows. “Where's Takumi? I thought he should already be here by now.” A confused Gii looked at Akaike as he pulled up a chair to sit down. “Takabayashi went out to fetch him. Don't worry, they'll be here soon.” Akaike smiled. “So what do you guys wanna have?” Gii asked. “You're buying, right?” Suzuki pointed at him inquisitively. “You had to ask?” Gii raised an eyebrow. “Yeah, aside from coffee. I want food. I want curry buns. You think they still have some curry buns? I want cake. Cake would be nice with coffee. Takumi will like cake. Maybe some chips. Been craving for potato chips ever since Shinobu-sensei talked about potatoes in class. Hmmmm....how about you guys?” Akaike and Suzuki looked clearly amused with Gii's behavior. It was funny watching their friend when he was craving for something to eat. It was like watching a little kid's first trip to a supermarket. If it were not for his strict workout routine, it wouldn't be surprising if he ballooned in size in no time. His sudden bouts of food craving and appetite are legendary in Shidou. “Well, since you're buying, I want a vanilla latte and a butterscotch bar. No, make that two bars.” Akaike replied. “I think I'll have brewed coffee and maybe a slice of cake.” “What kind of cake?” Gii asked “I'm not picky. As long as it's chocolate and no mint. Who puts mint in chocolates anyway? Mint is for toothpaste and shampoo.” Suzuki narrowed his eyes. “I hope Takabayashi and Takumi show up already. I'm hungry.” Gii complained. Akaike and Suzuki chuckled and shook their heads. “Anyway, while we're waiting...I've been waiting for your reply about this guy I would like to introduce to you. His name's Minato Sato. He's in second year just like us.” Gii grinned. “Oh crap...not again.” Suzuki looked at Gii exasperatedly. Akaike simply smiled as he observed his friends' exchange. “No listen up...I'm telling you this one's really good. I guarantee it. He's kind of a science geek like you. But a cool geek. He likes chemistry. I think the two of you will it hit off famously and you will have lots of things to talk about.” Gii was grinning from ear to ear sounding very proud of himself Suzuki frowned and turned to Akaike and nudged his shoulder. “Can you tell your friend to stop pimping guys to me?” Akaike merely shrugged at him. “Not my problem.” Suzuki narrowed his eyes at him. “You're useless.” and Akaike laughed. “Oh come on! Just give the guy a chance. I can set up the meeting tomorrow at your convenience.” The tone in Gii's voice remained insistent and hopeful. “The answer is no. I'm not gonna give him a chance or whatever. You're just hungry that's why you're talking weird again. Ugh!” Suzuki rubbed his face exasperatedly. Gii rested his cheek on his hand and studied his friend. Suzuki was now leaning back on his chair. The frown remained in his face as he was looking away and drumming his fingers impatiently on the table. Yeah, sure he was hungry but he was serious about the introduction. He wondered why Suzuki rejected the offer a bit too quickly. Normally, he would agree to meet regardless whether he liked them or not. But not this time. He had been trying to get Suzuki to agree with the meeting for days, but he did not show the least bit of interest. Gii wondered what could have brought the change. The silence was broken as two boys entered the cafeteria. Gii, Akaike and Suzuki looked to see who they were, expecting it would be Takabayashi and Takumi. They were were carrying their food trays and now finding a table for them to occupy. Akaike recognizing them immediately waved at the pair. “Hey there!” The scruffy-haired one named Tatsuya smiled widely and waved back. “Ah! Akaike-senpai!” The two boys walked towards the trio. Gii casually smiled at them. Suzuki's eyes widened with surprise. The other boy walking behind Tatsuya was the one he had been wanting to see again all this time. “I haven't seen you guys in a while. How are you?” “Oh I'm good. I've been busy with club activities recently and all. By the way, this one here is my room mate, Morita Toru.” Tatsuya grinned and patted Morita's back. “Oh yeah, of course. I remember you. How have you been, Morita-kun?” Akaike smiled. Morita bowed and smiled shyly. His grip on his food tray tightened. Never did he expect that he would see the cause of his many sleepless nights staring at him at this very moment. “Very good, Akaike-senpai. It's good to see you again.” He was trying not to look too obvious and tried to veer away from staring back at Suzuki. “Well that's good to hear. Anyway, this is Saki Giichi. I'm sure you guys know him by now. And this one here is our friend Suzuki Takeshi.” At the mention of his name, Morita could not quell the smile in his lips. Ah, now I know who you are. A sudden wave of relief came over him. He had been wanting to see him again or catch a glimpse of him for days but had no idea how to find him. Being new in school, he wanted to find out things for himself and didn't want to arouse suspicions from any of his classmates if they found out how keen he was in finding out the identity of the mysterious guy he laid eyes with at the phone booth that fated evening. And here he is in the company of two of the most popular and well-respected students of Shidou High Academy. “Pleased to meet you, Gii-senpai....Suzuki-senpai.” Morita bowed courteously. He could hear his heart beating loudly in his head. Suzuki nodded his head. He could not even blink. It was crazy. He hoped no one had noticed anything. Later he and Tatsuya walked towards another table. Unbeknown to Suzuki and Morita, Gii and Akaike exchanged knowing glances at what just transpired during that brief introduction.

Nothing beats a nice warm shower before bedtime, Suzuki draped the damp bath towel over his shoulders. As he walked along the hallway towards his room, he hesitated. Hmmmm...I think I should call Ma about getting my prescription refilled. He turned towards his left and went down the stairs and proceeded to where the dorm's telephone was located. He usually preferred such late hours to make his calls since he didn't have to put up with the hassle of the other boys using the phone. He always preferred to make his calls as private as possible. He didn't like the idea of people eavesdropping on his conversation with his parents especially since it was mostly concerned about his condition. But to his surprise, someone else was using the phone at this hour. He wondered if he should just turn back and return to his room and call his mother tomorrow night instead. But just as he was about to turn back.... Laughter. And it wasn't the boisterous type either. It sounded like the kind of laughter that made you turn your head to find its source. Strangely it sounded like you wanted to listen more of. Suzuki smiled at the thought and ironically found himself in the most unlikely position he had wanted other boys not do while he was on the phone, eavesdropping. He leaned by the wall and hid himself from view. “Hahaha! That's so funny! I should remember that.” “Yeah, I'm okay. I'm eating well. The food is good. My room mate is a funny guy. He likes cracking jokes too. I should share this one you told me with him. He'll get a kick out of it, I'm sure.” “Eh? Really? That's so cool! I'm really happy for you. Thank God, you got it. I got good news too. They made me class monitor! Haha!“ “Uh-huh...hmmmm..I guess....I could ask around. Maybe. I will. I promise.” “I promise to do that tomorrow. Really! I was going to. Yeah. I know. Me too. I hope your colds go away. Please don't get sick. Please take some medicines.” “Alright, alright...you too. Miss you too. I love you, Mama. Bye. I'll talk to you soon. Good night.” Ah, so he was talking to his mom. Suzuki smiled. It was rather refreshing having to listen to a lighthearted moment on the phone between mother and son. Most of the guys he knew didn't quite share that kind of sweet relationship with their parents. He thought about his mother. Of course, he loves his parents very much but then he was raised differently and with the added burden of his condition, things were not always what he had hoped to be and made him see things in a different light. Hmmm...I guess I should be talking to my mother after all. As Suzuki moves away from the wall where he was standing, he finds himself face to face with the gentlest eyes he's ever seen in his life. Morita stood frozen from where he stood. No words were spoken. Neither of them could pull their gaze away from each other. How long has it been? A minute or two? Neither of them knew. Suzuki didn't understand what force just held him there. Why couldn't he move? Morita wasn't sure why he couldn't peel his eyes away from the man that stood a few meters away from him. He couldn't even dare himself to blink. “Anou...” He stammered. The silence now broken, Morita reluctantly felt he had to say something. “Hai?” Suzuki replied. The sound of his voice alone made Morita's heart beat faster. What is with this guy that I should feel this way? “Are you going to use the phone too?” Morita asked him gently. “Yes, I was going to.” “I hope you didn't wait too long. I'm really sorry.” Morita bowed apologetically. “No. Not at all.” Suzuki shook his head and smiled. Morita felt his heart skip with the smile and he instinctively smiled back at Suzuki. “I guess I should be going now. Good night.” Morita gave him a slight bow and began to walk towards the hallway to where Suzuki now stood. He still could not pull away his gaze from him and it felt like everything around them slowed down a bit. Their eyes focused on each other the entire time until finally Suzuki was snapped back into reality. Morita was now walking down the stairs to the end of the hallway. What just happened here? -------------------------------------- For Suzuki Takeshi the evening had never been better. After a rather lighthearted conversation with his mother on the phone, he suddenly felt a sense of warmth around him. As he returned to his room, Shozo noticed the change in his face but chose not to pry any further. He just kept reading his book and scribbling on his notebook. Suzuki laid his aqua blue bath towel on the chair beside the study table. He laid down on the bed and closed his eyes with a smile on his lips. The image of those gentle eyes staring back at him still in his mind as he plays back the entire scene in his head before sleep quickly overtook him. I wonder who he is. ------------------------------------- Morita Toru tossed and turned in his bed. For the life of him, he could not sleep. He felt his heart was racing. He envied his room mate who has been happily snoring in his sleep hours ago. He looked at his bedside clock and saw it was already 12 midnight. “This is insane.” He thought. He tried to smother himself with his pillow but he could not keep still. He could not close his eyes to sleep. He kept replaying the scene that transpired earlier. Morita Toru, mystery novel fan boy and firm believer of fate and destiny just had the surprise moment of his life. One that he will never be able to forget and is the cause of his sudden bout of sleep deprivation. I wonder who he is.

“Is everything going well for you there? Are you alright?” He rolled his eyes for what seemed like the umpteenth time in a row. He didn't realize that his mother's worry for him could manage to reach a certain level of annoyance for him How many more times would he have to convince her that he's fine and that there was nothing to worry about? “I told you I'm alright. There's nothing to worry about, okay? I'm fine. If anything comes up, you're the first to know. I promise. How many times do we have to go through this?” “Well, don't sound so annoyed. I'm your mother for God's sake. I have every right to worry, you know. You're so far away. “ “I know...I know.” He leaned his head to the wall and closed his eyes. “Well, I just wanted to make sure you're alright. Remember to call me if anything happens. I don't care what time it will be. Don't you dare hesitate.” “Hai. Goodbye, Ma.” “Goodbye. You take care of yourself, you hear?” “I hear you.” Suzuki Takeshi let out a deep sigh after putting the phone down. Why did it always have to be this way on the phone with his mother? It's not like he was fragile for God's sake. Okay, he admitted he had a serious bone condition but he was determined to live a meaningful life in Shidou. He's gone a year without any major incident and he damn will do his best to see it through this as much as he could. He didn't really blame his mother's ever-growing concern. His parents and doctors were staunchly against his decision to go to high school. Opting that he would be home schooled instead. But the thought of being cooped at home was murder for him. In the end, he managed to convince his parents of his decision to enter Shidou High Academy. Despite much reluctance on their part, his parents eventually agreed provided he followed some ground rules, one of them being able to update them regularly of his condition. They could not deny him in the end. He was their only son after all. They would have moved mountains for him and he knew it. I should get back to the science club, he thought. ------------------------------- “How are you enjoying the tour so far, Morita-kun?” Akaike Shozo patted him on the shoulder which earned a self-conscious smile from the freshman. “Very much, Akaike-senpai. My mother and I only saw a bit of Shidou last time we were here before she left for Australia. And now having seen more places, I am very happy to be here.” “Well, you know the drill. Keep your grades up. Your manners checked. I'm sure you'll get along with a lot of people here.” Akaike smiled at him and patted his shoulder. “I look forward to that very much., Akaike-senpai.” He nodded. “Hmmmm....lemme check my list here. I hope I'm not skipping anything else. Aha...so we've been to the cafeteria, the dorms, the classrooms, the gymnasium...hmmm...what else?” Akaike studied his folder while Morita looked around savoring the atmosphere around him. He felt excited. He felt good. I'm so glad to be here. He made a mental note to tour his mother around the school grounds when she came to visit. Shidou felt like another world to him. A kind of world he has never been before. None of the schools they visited ever gave him this much high. He must have been overwhelmed and it felt good. He decided that this is where he can belong and make the best memories as he could. “Oh yeah...I think you'll like our next stop. One of Shidou's finest...the library.” He smiled. At the very word “library”, Morita's eyes widened and his ears perked up at the sound of it. He loved it. He did see a preview of the library from one of the school's brochures and he knew there was a whole lot more to it. The Shidou High Academy Library earned the ranking of one of Japan's best libraries. The anticipation to see it and hang out there as much as he can in the future was making his heart skip. “Alright, library it is! Follow me.” Akaike tucked the folder underneath his arm and walked ahead of Morita who was trying to contain all his excitement as best as he could.
