au_gravityfree requested Inoobu long ago, yet this buried in my hd way too long >.< hope this won’t be that disappointing. [2] Not beta-ed, I hope all readers could enjoy this at least since this is far from perfect, comments are LOVED.
Sigh.
“Three hours already … let’s call it a day. We can’t meet the right one, apparently.” Inoo shifted his seat onto the window at the corner.
Small room on the second floor, right beside a huge library. “Magazine Club” written on a hanging board outside the door.
“Say, Yabu!” Inoo shouted at the guy who is busy with his laptop. Natural smile always plastered on his face, gifted.
“Hmm??” He raised his head. Adding smile to his default smiling-face.
“Ahh …” Inoo blushed all of sudden. Unprepared for a charming face given. “I was asking your opinion, Yabu! Pay attention if someone talking to you!Geezz” Inoo pursed his lips.
“Sorry” Yabu softly said.
“Ah, just forget it. It doesn’t matter now!” Inoo turned his face around facing the window, let the breeze had his face.
What’s with me? My heart beats in a wrong rhythm. Somehow.
***
“Ah, you two? You always together ne?” Takaki entered the room.
“That’s not it! I only have some business with Yabu. Right?” Inoo asked his approval.
“Yeah, besides only Ino-chan could respect any topic I choose.” He smirked
“Fu~ we have new couple here. Kanpai!”
“That’s NOT it, I said!” Inoo got hectic while Takaki and other member tease him more. “Yabu! STOP that SMILE!”
***
Kuso! Those people really love gossip apparently. Aaaaaaghh!! Yabu!!
“Yabu …” Inoo mumbled his name while scrolling roughly on the room’s PC. His eyes stopped at member database.
Unintentionally typed “Yabu Kota”
A smile plastered on his pretty face as he dug more about Yabu.
***
Gossip spread rapidly about their relationship, whereas mostly they’re merely fiction.
“Ah, Inoo-kun. You’re at Magz Club right?” A girl from his class asked.
“Yea, what’s up?” Inoo asked cheerfully
“Actually … I-“ Inoo waited calmly while his friend looks so desperate to form a word.
“Etto~ actually I saw a cool guy there, yet I don’t know his name”
“Eh? Who is that?”
“Brown hair …”
“Takaki??”
“I don’t know his name, I said. But he has a warm looking, with cute eyes when smiling, the truth is I often bumped into him, and he always smiling.
“Could it be, Yabu??” Inoo burst into laughter. He couldn’t control it that people would see it as overdo.
“Don’t laugh, Inoo-kun! You embarrass me” She pouted.
“That’s because you said he’s cool !” Inoo burst into laughter even more.
“Stop it! You laugh that way I wonder if you’re in love with him!” She pursed her lips while straightly glared into Inoo’s eyes.
“Eh?” Inoo blinked his eyes, lost word.

“Do you? Ino-chan? INOO KEI!!??” Daiki shouted at his ear.
“No! don’t say stupid thing. It’s impossible to love him!There’s only Hikaru in my heart” Inoo roughly replied.
“Ha~ah, I asked about homework! Don’t daydream while I’m talking to you.”
“Ehe~ sorry … homework, huh”
“Tsk! You’re at it again. Hikaru Hikaru Hikaru why don’t you just stop? He was never serious bout you besides he once declared that he loves that girl right in front of you, right. Don’t fool yourself!”
“Shut up! None of y- AAAAH give it back!” Daiki already snatched Inoo’s laptop.
“What??What’s this? Don’t say you’re stalking Yabu??”Daiki asked in disbelief
“Shhhhhh!!!” Inoo covered his mouth.
“Araaaaaa” Daiki put a mischievous smirk.
***
“For real??” Daiki asked.
Inoo nodded
“He has a girlfriend; I assume she’s his childhood friend.”
“Hmmm, it must be tough for you” Daiki teased.
“What’s that just now? It’s nothing. I don’t like him or something, don’t judge as you pleased!” Inoo looked away.
Yabu … but why
***
“Geezz meeting at 7 am?? Crazy!” Inoo grumbled as he walked upstairs.
Knock knock knock
“Sorry, Captain. I’m late …”Inoo said lazily.
Everyone stood up packing their stuffs. “Let’s go home!” one of them said.
“Eeeh?? Finished already?” Inoo was quite shocked. Blinked his eyes many times.
“That’s why don’t be late!” the one called Captain said. “Everyone take your seat please, we’ll continue our meeting. You too, Inoo!” He gave a death glare.
“Fyuu~” relieved. “Ah, where’s Yabu? He’s not here, huh. Well, no matter.” He thought.
“Your idea, Inoo?”
“About next expo?? For me it would better if we blow up traditional toys as the main concept? Since we’d take place at- at …” He went blank as he saw a guy across him now fully paying attention to him.
Yabu? Since when? I didn’t see him before, unusual, or it’s just me, he looks … charming.
“Ouch!”
“Don’t space out! Moreover, what’s that blush?” Captain was ready with his shuriken.
***
“Whoaaaaa SAFE!!” Inoo rushed to class.
“What’s wrong with you? You never come late before these days.” Daiki asked.
“That’s .. well, I can’t sleep properly.. uhn, weather changing.” Random answer. Fake smile. Obviously lied. His mind shifted to some chats he had before.
It passed midnight already, you’d better go to bed
Hmm … I have paper to finish. Just a bit
Ganbatte~ I’m doing calculus
…
Ah, just realized we always spent midnight with random chat recently
That’s it, can’t help =)
…
Oyasumi~
Oyasumi, Yabu
Sigh. “Whatever! Where’s your paper? I’ll submit it.” Daiki gestured with his hand.
“Paper? Paper paper” He mumbled while searching inside his bag. “HYAAAAAAAA, on my bed! Daichaaannn, what should I do??? I’m dying!”
***
“Oh, senpai! It’s been a while. How’s your competition? “ Inoo put his bag on the table nearby.
“Finishing part. Monthly magazine? How is it?”
“No worry! You can count on me hahaha. You can leave at ease senpai” Inoo clapped his shoulder.
“Ah yea, how could I forgot? We have this couple to handle things, don’t we?” He smiled tricky at Inoo.
“What’s that?” Inoo glared
“So, how’s Yabu? I didn’t see him recently?”
“How I suppose to know as if I’m his mother!”
“Meanie, Yabu would be upset to hear your words … tsk tsk tsk” He shook his head with teary eyes to tease Inoo.
“Stop it! Don’t exaggerate! Besides, Yabu has girlfriend already!” Inoo shouted spontaneously.
“Hooo does he? I don’t care. Our topic here is You and Yabu”
“Senpaaaaai, I’ll kill you!!!” Inoo threw a book right to his head.
“Ouch!hurt! Oi Yabu can you please tell your wife to stop?”
“Wife???Damn you senpai! And to whom you shouted at, huh!? Yabu isn’t here either. Eat THIS!”
As he was about to throw that book, a hand grasp his in a smooth movement. “There’s no point in getting mad, right … Kei?” Yabu whispered behind Inoo’s ear made him shivered.
Kei??
***
Yabu, without realized it I’ve been checking his blog and his pages at some social networks, text him and all.
What’s this?
What do you call it? This feeling …
No, this is so wrong … he has girlfriend already
I’m so egoist
I’ll take this as a showdown, who’ll get his heart, means I’m trying to steal him. That’s improper.
But he never showed his love towards his girlfriend, I assumed. Or the truth is, he keep it for their private life.
If that’s the case, then my probability is to be his best friend … so that’s my feeling function would be?
Friendship function, huh? I wonder how’s its form … nice one as cosine curve, indefinite curve or just a straight line

“FINISHED!!!!” Inoo tossed the air. He moved to his fav place, window.
“You have homework to do, Inoo-kun” Yabu warned.
“That’s for next week, Yabu! And stop that smile of yours!”
“Aaaahh!! Could it be … Hikaru??” Inoo shouted at someone outside, eye widened.
“Ino-chan?” Someone called Hikaru stopped. “Right timing! I was looking for you” He said.
“For me?” Inoo doubted.
The guy with different uniform outside nodded. He then, took a deep breath.
“INOO KEI, I L O V E YOU!”
Inoo widened his eyes even more at the same time Yabu raised his head from his laptop.
***
“What was that, Hikaru??” Inoo bugged out.
“I’ll repeat it once your bodyguard vanished” Hikaru simply replied.
“Body-?” Inoo followed Hika’s eyes and found that crowd of his friends of Magz Club was eavesdropping.
With a single death glare they vanished.
“You’re not kidding me, are you?” Inoo started.
“Not at all” Hika replied solemnly.
“Then, where were you all this time? And why? Since when?” Inoo couldn’t stand his emotion any longer. The one he thought already gone suddenly popped up.
“I tried to focus on my study, yet after all your image always passed my vision, and I can’t bear it any longer. Since when, remember what I said on our school trip? But you hear it wrong. Remember when we bumped each other at museum under that heavy rain and I grabbed your wrist? Remember I always come early using my bike. They were on purpose. Without realize it even a slight, I've always wanted to stay close to you.”
“But you said you love someone from different class at that time.” Inoo tried to hold his tear.
“That’s, ouch! Please forget it.” Hika ruffled his hair.
“No fair! Hikaru, yes that’s true I loved you. I once …
“Inoo, look straight into my eyes!” Hikaru hold Inoo’s cheek.
Teary eyes …
“Kei … “ Hika’s face get closer to Inoo’s. He almost closed the gap between them when suddenly Hika felt hot sensation on his face and he darted off.
“Don’t dare to touch him!” Yabu now standing there, holding Inoo’s waist.
“Hmph!” Hikaru smirked. “So, now you have him, Kei?”
“LEAVE!” Yabu commanded
“Don’t put scary expression there or you’ll get a wrinkle … Yabu? I assumed that’s your name.” They gave death glare each other.
“Very well, I’ll leave now. But one thing, I haven’t given up. Just you know.” He passed Yabu.
***
“I don’t understand it, Yabu” Inoo asked anxiously.
“Which one?” Yabu replied solemnly as usual.
“Everything!” Inoo frustrated seeing his calm expression.
“Spill them out, then … one by one” Yabu smiled warmly.
“You- … have girlfriend
“Yes, I did
“You … did? Why?” Inoo frowned.
“That’s because one person.” Yabu stepped forward. Inoo couldn’t help since a wall blocked his way to step back.
“Ino-chan, look at my eyes.” Yabu demanded.
“I think I need to go to toilet.” Inoo tried to get his escape when Yabu pinned him on the wall.
“Please …” He begged. Inoo raised his head slowly Yabu didn't waste his chance to close their gap.
Yabu …
Inoo closed his eyes, as Yabu’s lips invade his gently while his arm kept their distance zero. Tear rolled down his pale cheeks which now feel so warm under Yabu’s spell. His knee became so weak to support his own body, yet Yabu didn't loosen his grip.
So my friendship function forms an indefinite curve, huh … at certain point I’ll meet happy feeling called love yet it doesn't end at that point … indefinite means I could meet something more which only-God-knows. No ending. Two people confessed in one day, but this time … I'm not wavering.
“It’s you, Kei” Yabu whispered.
“And you’re a bad stalker!” Yabu teased him with a peck on his lips.
