Chapter 2: Second Week
Chinen Yuri stood at the front of the class, then read his speech out in front of everybody. His mouth opening and closing as he read out his speech. Everyone, including Ryutaro, stared at him, eyes glued at the small boy. His delicate hands shivered slightly while holding the paper, his small pink lips trembled as he felt the intensity of those stares. Boys and girls, all were staring at him. He was just so adorable. Everyone knew that Chinen was disturbed by the attention he was getting but no one would stop staring because the more nervous Chinen was, the more cuter he becomes! Chinen fidgeted even more. He was just too cute.
"You guys...You're all so mean!" Chinen frowned and his eyebrows furrowed. He was angry but everyone just laughed. That angry face he made was even more irresistible. Even his angry face made Ryutaro's heart skipped a beat. Ryutaro couldn't get close to him though. They were so different both in looks and popularity, not to mention, in studies too. Chinen's 'angry' face soon faded as he saw everyone laughing and smiling gleefully. He smiled with them as well.
Ne, Chinen, smile at me too...
As Chinen was laughing along with his firends, Ryutaro continued to gaze at him. He couldn't join them, but he could still see. As long as he could see...No, this was wrong. What was he thinking? He needed to confess to Chinen Yuri...today! He must! He decided that last week and he will do it!
Well, at least, he hoped he did.
Ryutaro mustered up his courage, swallowed down all his fears. He stood up from his chair, step by step, he walked towards Chinen. His leg trembled every time he took a step forward. He was scared, really scared. His hands were clutched tightly by his side and his body was upright. He almost seemed like a robot! In his mind, he thought of words, encouraging words, that could help him in this rather terrifying task. Sweat rolled down his cheeks, he could feel his palm all wet. As he got closer and closer to Chinen, his heart thumped louder and louder. Only a few metres away, Chinen was so close to him now. Just one more step, this final step which would bring him closer to Chinen. Just one mo.....
"Class, break's over. Please get back to your seats." Chinen and his group of friends went back to their seats as instructed, leaving Ryutaro there, looking like a complete fool. This was humilating.
"Morimoto! Why are you still standing there! Get back to your seat!" His cheeks were red with embarrassment. He hurried back to his eat with his face downwards, not daring to look up. What's even worse was that his seat was just behind Chinen's! He sat down and covered his face with a textbook.
Well, that was embarrassing.
Ryutaro's face was red throughout the whole lesson. That scene kept replaying in his mind, over and over again.
Why am I so dumb? Why, why, why??!!
If only he was popular, Chinen would definitely notice him. Yes, he definitely would. If he was even more handsome, Chinen would look his way. But Ryutaro wasn't any any of those now, was he. He sighed. This week wasn't what he had planned at all!
Ryutaro put his book down then gazed at Chinen's back. Maybe, this was it, just Chinen's back and nothing else.
Chinen, I love you, you know.
Chinen suddenly turned back, facing Ryutaro. It was as if he heard those words.
"Ne, Morimoto-san. Just now, you wanted to tell me something right?" Chinen whispered and gave a wide grin.
Crap, he knew.
"H...Ha...Hai." Ryutaro stuttered his words, embarrased yet still felt rather excited.
"Then, wait for me outside. I'll go home with you today!" He smiled then quickly turned to face the front. Ryutaro felt his heart flutter when Chinen said those words. But then again, was Chinen making fun of him? Ryutaro didn't want to believe it but maybe Chinen was making fun of him. Maybe, just maybe.
Class ended and it was time to go home, with Chinen. His heart throbbed at that thought but he still had his doubts. Half of him wanted to believe Chinen but the other half won't. Ryutaro just made a fool of himself, anyone would make fun of him! He couldn't blame Chinen. He waited outside, his hands shivering because of the cold. Today wasn't his day after all, he forgot to bring his gloves. He rubbed his hands together to keep them warm. What luck he had.
Chinen waved goodbye to his friends then hurried off to where Ryutaro was.
"Have you been waiting long?" His usual sweet smile which brought warmth to his heart.
"No, l..le..let's go.." Yet again, his words came out awkward. He walked side by side with Chinen, his hands in his pockets. This looked like a date to him. A date with Chinen but to Chinen it was probably just a casual walk or something.
"Ne, doesn't this feel like we're a couple?" Ryutaro stopped as he heard Chinen said that. His abrupt stop made Chinen stop too, wondering why the sudden halt.
"Morimoto-sa..."
"Don't call me Morimoto!" Ryutaro shouted. His mind was in a mess right now. He wanted to ask so many things but his heart couldn't handle it. He had to let it all out, but he wondered whether he was being too forceful.
"I mean...I'm sorry. I'm a bit...confused, that's all. Wh...Why are you being so nice to me? You wanted to make fun of me? Is that it? I mean...I'm not blaming you or anything but.." His words stumbled here and there, all rushing to get out and be heard.
"Make fun of you? Why would I do that?" Chinen responded, slightly confused.
"I thought...I thought you wanted to laugh at me because of just now...in class."
"Oh, that. No, everyone embarrassed themselves in class! Even me! Everyone laughed at me after I finished reading my script!" His cheeks turned pink while recalling that.
Well, that's because you were cute.
"So Morimoto-sa....No, I mean, Ryutaro-kun, I really meant it. I really wanted to go home with you and didn't you have something to say to me too?" Chinen looked at Ryutaro with eyes containing excitement and curiosity.
Ryutaro was speechless. His heart was beating, his face all flushed. This just got worse, he loved Chinen even more now.
"I...I...I...lo.." It couldn't come out of his mouth! His hands were quivering too much. It was too cold. He couldn't do it!
"Ryutaro-kun, your hand, you didn't bring your gloves! It's freezing out here!" He took out one of his gloves then put it on Ryutaro's right hand. He then wrapped his fingers around Ryutaro's left hand.
"There, that's better isn't it?" Chinen looked up at him and grinned. They were holding hands! Chinen did all this just for him.
"So, what was it you were going to say?" Chinen's hands still wrapped tightly around his fingers. This was it, maybe he could do it now.
"Uhh...I..lo..lov..love your speech! It was great!"
He couldn't do it after all.
"Thank you, Ryutaro-kun!" Chinen eyes sparkled with happiness. Ryutaro smiled when he saw that because seeing Chinen happy made him happy too.
But holding hands was a huge leap for him. Maybe, next week....
Next week! Yes, I'll do it, next week! Next time, it will happen.
A/N: I love Ryutaro btw! I think he's cute! I love him a lot! lol. Just in case you all thought I hate him or something.
