Kiku blinked and opened his eyes to see the sun high in the sky and sending rays of sunlight into his room. Kiku sat up and stretched. Mid-yawn, he paused. Wait. Sun high in the sky...? He immediately reached out for his alarm clock. "9 AM?!" He's already missed first period! And how on earth did he forget to set his alarm?
Jumping out of bed, he shivered as the air felt cold against his bare skin. Kiku furrowed his eyebrows and looked at himself. Why am I naked...? He wondered as he walked over to the closet to get his clothes.
"Mnn... Kiku, thanks for protecting me from the vampires..." Alfred said as he sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes.
Kiku stared at a naked Alfred with wide eyes before letting out a blood curling scream that could be heard by Yao from his classroom.
The Chinese boy was taking his exam as he and the rest of the class heard a yell. Glancing out the window, he didn't even have to guess to know that it came from the dorm room, particularly from his and Kiku's dorm. "Hmph. Serves them right for keeping me up all night." He mumbled as he looked back down at his test. Sure enough, he had dark rings around his eyes from tossing and turning at each moan of a monster from Kiku's TV.
--
"You! Me! Bed! Naked! What?! Us!? Happened?!" Kiku spoke in shrill fragments of sentences.
Alfred blinked and looked around the room. Articles of clothing was strew around the floor, which matched what the both of them had been wearing the night before. "Hold up, let me put on my glasses..." Alfred said as he reached for them on the dresser. "Woah?! What happened here?! It looks like someone had crazy sex that started with ripping the clothes off of each other."
Kiku gave him a stare.
"Oh, hey, why're you naked, Kiku?" Alfred asked with a smile.
"... Alfred. This isn't math, I think you can figure this out."
Alfred frowned and made a face that looked as if he was thinking hard. "... Oh! You burried something in your closet/underwear drawer and now you can't find it after throwing all the clothes out!" He said, looking proud of himself.
"W-What?!" How could Alfred come to that conclusion and not think of the obvious. Or...was it just him who was thinking of that? Maybe he should cut back from reading all that rated-18 material. No! Its for studying! He thought to himself, trying to steel his resolve. So I draw better doujinshis! Doujinshi making is my side past time after all! "You know you're naked too, right?!"
Alfred looked a little confused at the revelation and then he slipped out of bed to look at himself. "...Hey! You're right!"
Kiku made a shrieking sound and blushed deep before hiding under his desk. "Alfred...Just put your clothes on. Please."
"Why?! We're both guys! Its absolutely fine!"
"... ..." Kiku stayed under the desk as his face turned darker red than ever before.
--
"Ok, my clothes are on, Kiku. Can you please come out now?" Alfred asked delicately.
"L...oom."
"Um, Kiku, I can't hear you if you're going to muffle yourself by hugging your knees."
"I said leave the room!" Kiku yelled out this time. "I need to put on my clothes too!!"
Alfred took a step back and gave him a smile and a shrug. "Ok man, I get it! I'll wait for you outside and we can walk to class together!" Alfred said as he closed the door behind him.
"Class!" He was already what, a whole period late?? He quickly dashed around the room, putting on whichever piece of clothing he came across while gathering papers and art supplies to put into his book bag.
"Ok, I'm ready Alfred!" Kiku said as he exited his own room.
"Kiku! I just thought of something!" Alfred said excitedly. "...We didn't have wild sex last night and forget everything like one of those, uh, I've just gotten close to the right age of reading it manga, right?"
Kiku paled as he remembered the embarrassing moment, he had forgotten after running around gathering all his school things. "W-Well, do you remember anything?"

"Hmm...Nope! Nothing after the horror movie! ...Maybe we had wild sex and then we just forgot all about it? Were there any beer cans in the room? Maybe we had unsafe BDSM?"
At the last question, Kiku's face flushed again and he ran out of the room, leaving Alfred by himself. "Uh...Did my joke go too far?"
--
Gilbert dropped the hot dog he was eating. "Uh, you guys woke up naked and you're still coming to me for advice?"
Kiku nodded. "I-I don't remember anything happening, though!" Kiku was shaking as he drew. He had finished a bit and Gilbert had even sold some to make some money. Not a surprise, his artwork was popular since it matched the manga-style of a popular manga artist, which in reality was him.
Gilbert shrugged. "Eh. It happens. Drink some beir and you'd wake up in the morning not knowing where you are and then there's someone next to you in bed and you don't know who he/she even is."
"...I didn't need to know about your adventures in drunken land, Gilbert." Kiku mumbled as he tried to drain the images from his mind. "I'm about to ask the school janitor for bleach."
"Kesesesese!" Gilbert laughed. "You need bleach?! For knowing something like that? What about all those pictures you drew that were especially for girls! Like Eliza, didn't she like, buy ten of those?"
Kiku's face turned red as he tried to change the subject. "S-So, Gilbert, why do you have so many scrapes on your arms?"
"I got into a fight." He mumbled unhappily as he looked away, clearly not interested in the subject.
"A-Alright, so you have any suggestions?"
"For what?"
"Getting Alfred to like me! What, do you think I'm doing this for free?!" Kiku was starting to get irritated. The pencil point even broke under the pressure he was exerting on it and he quickly fished a sharpener out of his bag and re-sharpened it till it was pointy enough to be used by a serial killer.
"Oh, well, for starters... What do you think of him?"
"What does that matter?"
"Just answer it."
"...I...I really like him. S-Since we first met, practically..." Kiku mumbled. "After he helped me get over my crush on your--" Kiku cut himself off short, not saying anymore since by then he'd be digging his own grave if that ever got out.
"Mmhmm...Okay. And what do you think he thinks of you?"
"...A friend? Maybe. At times I wonder if its more like he's using me..." Kiku's grip on the pencil tightened again. Why was he confiding this in Gilbert.
"Using you?"
"L...Like he'd ask me to do his homework. And...he used me in a bet with you..."
Gilbert was silent for a moment before muttering, "I see." and left the table without another word.
Kiku wondered if it was a bad idea to tell Gilbert that. He's never mentioned it to anyone before, not even Yao. Nowhere in his manga did he ever say that Sakura had any insecurity of what John thinks of her. He wondered if he's made the biggest mistake of his life telling Gilbert that.
-- Wow, *checks watch* this is so late that its not even funny. OTL

Excellent update; Kiku's reaction was spot on and Alfred's obliviousness was adorable!
