Pre Notes: Damn filler chapters! >____< I was literally wringing my brain out for what to write in this one. >____>

It was a relatively cool Monday morning, signaling that summer was slipping away for good and autumn was quick to settle in. For such a day, Shou would normally put a sweater over his uniform shirt and wear a flimsy jacket – that usually kept him warm enough for the first signs of autumn. However, having Tora take him to school via his motorcycle, a relatively warmer parka was in order, rather than the flimsy jacket.
Tora himself thought that was the best option as well, him wearing a very puffy parka. Shou, holding onto his friend's waist as they zoomed past houses, couldn't help himself from snuggling as much as he could into a more comfortable position, his cheek pressed into the fabric of Tora's parka. He was just too huggable for Shou to resist.
"Just like a teddy bear." he concluded in his mind, a dorky smile spreading on his face.
"Finally decided to let things happen?"
"Not you again!" Shou mentally groaned. "Go away, conscience!"
"Only when you'll stop deluding yourself."
"Can't I just enjoy this moment in peace?! We're a few minutes away from school and, implicitly, from Uruha. I want to take advantage of..."
"If you would stop being such a pansy and look within yourself, you might find something that can lead to your enjoying a lot more than just a moment of peace!"
Shou sighed and didn't remark anything else to his conscience. It was ridiculous to have such debates, especially since your conscience was actually yourself. "I must be losing my mind. I wonder if there have been any cases of schizophrenia in my family."
***
They had arrived in the student parking lot of their school and Shou shivered a bit at the loss of warmth he had had when he was holding onto Tora, as they got off the motorcycle and made their way to the school entrance.
"When do you finish classes?" Tora asked.
"Sorry, but I won't be coming home with you. The basketball team has one last training session after classes are over and I also need to see how I manage for the track event."
"Ah, yes. Sports day is tomorrow. I can hardly wait." Tora said, exited.
"You can hardly wait 'cause we won't have any classes." Shou laughed and earned himself a light punch in the shoulder from his friend, which only resulted in him laughing more heartily.
The school courtyard was bustling with chatter and movement, students just arriving, some waiting for their friends and classmates, others loitering around, talking, until the bell signaled a new week of torture had officially started.
Shou groaned silently but it was loud enough for Tora to hear and it wasn't any secret why he had that reaction. Uruha was waiting for them halfway to the school entrance. He didn't seem to be frowning, didn't seem to be so tense that he held himself back from lashing at Shou. He seemed to be standing there as if everything was peachy, something that didn't click as right in Shou's mind.
"'Morning." Even his voice didn't show any signs of restraint. Something was definitely off. Maybe aliens did kidnap him and placed a docile clone on Earth, something Shou had wanted for a long time to happen, if only the honey blond haired student would be nicer to him.
"Uh, hi." Yep, Tora was just as perplexed as Shou. Thirty seconds without a spiteful remark – a new record for Uruha.
"Tora, can you leave us alone a minute? I need to talk to Shou about something." Shou perked up at the request. So that was it! Uruha was saving his strength for when they would be alone! But they were still in the courtyard which was still very much packed. Uruha surely wouldn't try anything, would he? "You can watch us from a distance if you want to be sure I won't hurt him in any way." he huffed when he saw Tora wasn't making any move to leave.
With one last look at Uruha that said he'd better not do anything, the brunette took his leave. Shou was a bit nervous but, he had to admit, also curious as to why Uruha wanted to talk to him. Had he heard that Tora had spent Sunday with him?
"Alright, I'll admit we've had our differences." Now that was an understatement. "But I don't want my relationship with Tora to blow over on your account."
"You sound like it's my fault you two are fighting." Shou retorted, crossing his arms over his chest.
"In a way it is but I'm not going to go into that right now." That would be a first. "I care for Tora a whole lot and I don't want what we have to be ruined. So, I want every animosity between us to end."
Shou was left gaping. Just when he thought nothing coming from Uruha would be able to surprise him anymore. "Wait, did I hear right? You want us to make peace?"
"Yeah, you heard right."
In Shou's opinion, that was possibly the only reasonable thing that had ever passed Uruha's lips. "If you're willing to try, then so am I." The moment they shook hands was like signing a pact – a pact that hopefully would be respected for a long, long time. "I need to go to class. Tell Tora not to come to our tutoring session from tonight because I don't know how long I'll be getting ready for tomorrow." Shou said when the bell rang, signaling that everybody had to get inside fast.
True to Uruha's suggestion, Tora had stayed at a safe distance and watched the exchange between his boyfriend and best friend. It's needless to say his eyes nearly bugged out of their sockets when he saw them shaking hands and being as civil to one another as people could be. He hoped that while their hands were connected one of them wouldn't pull a karate/wrestling move on the other. To his surprise, nothing happened.
He was still gaping when they parted, Shou going into the school building and Uruha coming toward him.
"It's not polite to have your mouth hanging. At least when you're not having sex." Uruha chuckled as he closed Tora's gaping mouth with a finger.
"Have I been sent to the place where normal things don't happen very often?"
"You've been there all your life, babe." Uruha laughed. "Now let's get our butts to class or Hikawa-sensei will skin you alive and use you as didactic material and Arakawa-sensei will shave my head and draw aliens on my scalp."
"Your Plastic Arts teacher is a menace but he's still cool." Tora chuckled as they headed for the entrance and started climbing the stairs.
"And your Biology teacher is a serial killer along with that failed attempt of a beauty mark of his. And he's not cool."
***
Tora wasn't the only spectator to the pacifistic exchange between Shou and Uruha. However, most of the others didn't think much of the action since they didn't know every variable to the problem. Someone else besides Tora, who knew the wars that went on behind closed doors, the protagonists of which were Uruha and Shou, was Akiya.
He had just walked into the courtyard, minding his own business, when he saw his friend and classmate talking to Uruha. He was about to start running in their direction to save Shou from an untimely death when the handshake the two shared put a stop to his actions. He was literally stumped and rooted to his spot.
Still in shock after what he saw, he didn't hear someone running from behind and when he finally decided to move and continue on his way to class, he stepped right into the trajectory of the sprinting student who was quite obviously late for class. What followed? A rugby kind of collision that sent both Akiya and the one who ran into him on their rumps, not to mention having the wind knocked out of them.
"Ow, ow, ow!" Akiya whined as he rubbed his poor, abused bum.
"I'm sorry! Are you ok?" Akiya opened his eyes and saw the boy who had ran into him now squatting beside him.
"Besides the fact my butt will hurt for the rest of the week and that I'll be sporting a bruise the size of an ice cream truck, I'm fine." he replied and started to get up.
"Here, let me help you." The boy took hold of Akiya's arm and helped him get to his feet. "I'm really sorry."
"It's okay. I think I should be apologizing for moving in your path." Akiya bent down to get his back pack off the ground but the pain in his butt moved to his lower back and it hurt like a bitch.
"I'll get it. At least let me help to your class. I know how much blows to the butt slash lower back hurt."
Akiya nodded and was grateful for the help to get to class. He was walking quite awkwardly and didn't know if he could manage if this boy wouldn't have offered to help him.
"My name's Akiya, by the way." He couldn't go on calling his helper "you" or "boy" or "student" or whatever.
"I'm Isshi. I think our faces are familiar to one another but we haven't really had the opportunity to be introduced. At least it's that way to me."
Akiya nodded since it was like that to him as well. Isshi's face was definitely familiar, having seen him at school on several occasions, but other than that, he didn't know anything about the other.
"This is my class. Thanks for helping me."
Isshi took his arm from around Akiya's waist where it had been and rubbed the injured student's lower back a little. "Stay seated for about an hour or two and the pain should slowly disappear."
Akiya smiled gratefully and gingerly walked into the classroom, making a beeline straight for his seat and not spearing anyone a glance. Sitting down, he let out a sigh of relief as his lower back didn't have as much pressure on it as before.
"Made a new friend, eh, Akiya?"
He opened his eyes and met a very smirking Hiroto. Shou had appeared by his side and looked at Akiya expectantly while Nao sat in his seat right in front of the cornered student, looking just as expectant.
"I'm in pain, guys. Let me heal." he whined. However, he knew it was futile. Was this divine retribution for when he had teased Shou and Nao?
***
It had been quite a boring day. You'd think that seniors would be kept on their toes every minute of every class but the atmosphere couldn't be more relaxed. There were, of course, the terrorist type of teachers who kept saying that each and every student was going to fail the University exams and they will end up as janitors in run down, close to bankruptcy ramen shops, and their wives or husbands will beat and then divorce them. Of course, this was said with the best intention, to get the students to study hard. There's nothing like wiping your feet on your students like on a doormat to get them determined, right?
Nao and Hiroto were among the ones who made fun of every word that came out of those teachers' mouths. Akiya and Shou would have been with them but they had to go and practice some more for Sports day.
"I shall now leave thee with thy mister, m'lady."
Nao didn't know whether to bop Hiroto one on the head because he had dared to speak in Archaic English or because he had called Nao "m'lady". However, he didn't get to do anything because the shorter senior was already a few feet away from him and the distance was growing. He would have gone after Hiroto, not that it would have been hard to reach him, but someone looped an arm through his.
"So, I guess that means I'm wearing the pants in this relationship, eh?" Nao couldn't help but laugh just as Saga started laughing as well. "You know, you really put me off yesterday when you didn't want to go anywhere. You're as stubborn as a mule."
Nao laughed again at Saga's resolution. "I've been told that before." His laughing died a little when he caught sight of Ruka leaning against the courtyard fence and looking right at him, smiling – or rather smirking.
"You'd better be ready to make it all up to me today and the rest of the week, you hear me?" Saga said revolted, unlooping his arm from Nao's and wrapping it around his boyfriend's shoulders, directing him to the gates.
Nao threw one last glance Ruka's way and shuddered a bit when he saw the other blow a kiss his way. He immediately looked ahead of him and wrapped an arm around Saga's waist to feel anchored, safe.
