Pt 2
Saga was sitting in his living room playing bass when the doorbell rang. Rolling his eyes, he got up to answer it. He opened the door to find Tora standing there with a box of takoyaki. Saga stared at him until Tora thrust the takoyaki box at his nose.
“Uh, come in?” Saga squeaked. Tora followed him inside while staring at Saga’s legs, on display since he was wearing shorts. “Why’d you come over?” Saga asked, snapping Tora out of his awkward thoughts about how smooth Saga’s legs looked. “I, um, felt bad about snapping at you, and then you didn’t come back.” Tora said. Saga looked slightly amused.
“So, you thought I was upset because of you? Pretty arrogant, ne?” Saga raised an eyebrow.
“It’s not like that, I just… I wanted to apologize.” Tora said coolly. Saga seemed to find the whole situation hilarious. “What are you planning on doing for the next hour?” he asked. “Nothing, really.” Tora shrugged.
“Then you can play video games with me and help me eat this takoyaki.” Saga said simply. Tora nodded, “I, uh, suppose I can.” Saga nodded and moved his bass off the couch, allowing Tora a place to sit.
“Is that your bass?” Tora asked, sounding genuinely interested. Saga nodded. “Are you good?” Tora asked. Saga nodded.
“Play me something.” Tora demanded, making himself comfortable on Saga’s couch. Saga rolled his eyes before scooping the honey-colored bass into his lap. “How about this?” Saga proceeded to play a melody Tora didn’t know. He finished and looked at Tora questioningly, chewing his lip. “That was really good. Where’s it from?” Tora asked. Saga shrugged. “I wrote it.” He laughed nervously, “It’s kind of a hobby.” Tora smiled sincerely at him. “I think it’s great, Saga.” Saga smiled shyly and set the bass on a stand.
“Ne, Tora, are you half-American? That’s what people say.” Saga felt terrible as Tora’s face fell.
“Tora, I’m sorry. It’s a sensitive issue, huh?” Saga fumbled an apology, but Tora waved it away.
“I’m quarter American. I’ve lived in Japan all my life, and don’t see what the deal is about my eyes or nose or whatever. It’s so fucking annoying. My parents don’t get it. I got in so much trouble for getting expelled, but all I did was stand up for myself.” Tora said angrily. He looked at Saga, who was giving Tora his rapt attention. “Sorry,” Tora said sheepishly. “No, it’s ok. But I think you’re perfect the way you are.” Saga stated, making Tora blush.
“Well, what game are we going to play?” Tora asked, hoping to focus Saga’s attention somewhere else.
Saga sighed, and looked blankly at the TV. “How about…”
“That!” Tora cut in, pointing at the Dragon Ball fighting game on the floor. Saga laughed and popped it into the PS2. They played until Saga’s mother came home from work. Saga introduced Tora, and Saga’s mother seemed to immediately like the dark-haired boy.
“Tora, it’s almost time for dinner, would you like to stay?” Saga’s mother asked as she sliced vegetables. “Iie, I’ve got to get home. Thank you anyway.” Tora smiled. “I’ll see you at school tomorrow, Saga,” he said. Saga nodded and waved.
Tora was glad he came, Saga seemed happier, and Tora was inexplicably happier when he saw Saga’s happy smile. He blushed at the thought. Saga was definitely attractive, but was he…attracted to Saga in that way? Tora shook his head to clear his thoughts. It didn’t help. He sighed loudly, running his hand through his hair in frustration.
**A few days later**
Saga met Tora in front of the school with Nao and Shou. Saga waved to him, and Tora nodded curtly, eyes hidden behind sunglasses. A few kids shot him glares or mouthed ‘Gaijin’ at him as he passed. He rolled his eyes and smiled at Saga. “Ohayou, Tora!” Saga called, his smile bright and welcoming. Tora couldn’t help but grin back at the brunette. “Ohayou, Saga!” Things were definitely looking up for Tora. Or so he though.
As the group entered the school, the bully and his friend from Tora's first day stepped into their path. “So, you’re friends with the gaijin now?” He asked, getting dangerously close to Saga, who rolled his eyes. “Yes, Aoi, I am. And I, unlike you, am capable of making friends without threats.” Saga smirked at him. Tora’s eyes widened as the boy’s fist made contact with Saga’s cheekbone. Saga staggered for a brief second before tackling Aoi to the ground.
The element of surprise was on Saga’s side, and he was able to get two punches in while only taking one, before Tora hauled him off the boy. “Saga! Come on.” Tora shouted, pulling the struggling Saga off the dark haired boy. Saga spat at him, causing Shou to giggle.
“Nani?” Saga demanded, wiping blood off his lip. Shou made an X with his arms, still laughing. Aoi’s friend was helping him up; he looked the worse for their meeting. “Fuck Aoi, it looks like he broke your nose!” the smaller red-haired boy shouted. “Shut up Ruki,” Aoi snapped. “Don’t do that again! Or next time it’ll be worse!” Saga hissed at Aoi. When he turned back to Tora, he was staring at Saga in amazement.
“Why’d you do that?” Tora asked. Saga looked at him like he was an idiot. “Because you’re my friend. And you aren’t allowed to fight, right? Too many expulsions et cetera.” Saga grinned. Tora shook his head. “Let’s get you cleaned up.”
“I can’t believe you did that Sagacchi!” Nao exclaimed as Saga cleaned his split lip in the bathroom. “You need to be careful though!” Shou reminded him. Saga rolled his eyes and yelped as the wound split open a little wider. Tora grabbed the paper towels from Saga and started to gingerly clean the brunette’s lip. Saga gulped, and felt his face heat up. Tora’s face was so close to his, Tora’s lips were close to his…
“Saga? You need to try not to talk, ok?” Saga nodded and bit his lip, causing the other three boys to groan.
“Great job, stupid,” Shou said, shaking his head. Saga tasted blood again, realizing he should try not to move or chew on his lip (albeit a little late). He flipped Shou the bird and sprinted to class, hearing Shou’s exclamations close behind him. He arrived in the classroom first, sliding into his seat with a triumphant grin. Shou rolled his eyes and sat down as Tora and Nao entered, both looking highly amused by Saga and Shou’s antics.
***
Two weeks later, Tora was over at Saga’s playing video games along with Shou, Hiroto, and Nao. Saga’s mother entered the house with a chuckle as she saw the group of boys in the living room. “Takashi, is everyone staying for dinner?” Tora looked at Saga. ‘Takashi?’ he mouthed. Saga rolled his eyes.
“Tora is, Kaasan, but Shou, Nao, and Hiroto are going home soon,” Saga replied. Saga’s mother nodded. As if on cue, Hiroto yawned from his spot in Shou’s lap, so Shou decided it was time for them to be going. Nao didn’t want to ride the train alone, so he went with the couple, telling Tora and Saga to behave. Tora laughed and Saga blushed as Nao winked at him. “See you tomorrow,” Saga said with a wave.
***
Tora’s mother called him after dinner, telling him it was time to come home. Saga thought she sounded like a rather unpleasant woman from what he could hear of their conversation. Saga waved his arms to get Tora’s attention.
“Tora, you can stay here tonight if you want.” Saga offered. Tora nodded vehemently and told his mother his plans. “Thanks Saga.” He said, feeling himself blush. “Anytime.” Saga grinned.
***
The two boys played PS2 until Saga’s Otousan made them quit so he could watch the news.
Saga immediately went to shower, telling Tora to make himself at home.
Saga’s room was slightly messy, mostly with clothes and VK magazines scattered about. Tora guiltily poked around on Saga’s desk and looked in his closet. He found a small stack of manga magazines and flopped down onto Saga’s bed to wait for him to finish showering.
Saga came into his bedroom with a towel around his waist, his chest glistening with water droplets. Tora did his best not to stare, pretending to still be reading the Shounen Jump he found on Saga’s floor. “Are you going to shower?” Saga asked. Tora looked up at him, he had on pants now, but his chest was still bare. Tora nodded, “Yeah, is that cool?” “Sure, I’ll get you some pajamas.” Saga handed him a t-shirt and some pants.
Tora did his absolute best not to think about Saga’s naked chest or long legs while he showered. He quickly turned the water icy and finished washing in record time. Saga was lying in his bed reading a book when Tora came in, fully dressed. Saga was a bit disappointed that he didn’t get to see the other boy dressing. Tora looked at Saga with a confused expression before Saga patted the bed. Tora gulped and quickly slid under the covers, scooting himself as far from Saga as possible. Saga turned off the light and sighed. “Goodnight Tora,” he whispered. “Goodnight Saga,” Tora replied, scooting farther away still.
Tora woke up in the middle of the night because Saga had started spooning him. He rolled over to look at the brunette and stopped. Saga looked absolutely beautiful asleep. His soft pink lips were slightly parted, his eyelashes resting softly on the tops of his cheeks. Tora leaned down and kissed him gently, not realizing what he was doing. Saga woke up with a start and looked panicked. Tora started streaming apologies.
“Oh, god, Saga… I...”
“Was it a mistake?” Saga’s eyes begged Tora to say no. Tora shook his head. “No.” he whispered. Saga kissed Tora, a soft, chaste kiss. Saga smiled as he pulled away.
“Goodnight, Tora.” Tora was pleasantly confused. All in all, it was a productive day.
***
“Take me on a date.” Saga had demanded as they got dressed for school. Tora smiled at him.
“Anywhere in particular?” he asked. Saga shrugged, “Somewhere with good ramen.” He said seriously. “Ramen it is.” Tora agreed. Saga turned to him, “I like you.” He declared.
“I realized that last night, Saga.” Tora laughed. Saga blushed, turning back to the mirror. His blush deepened when he felt Tora’s lips on his neck. Tora was taken aback when Saga spun round and pressed his lips to Tora’s. Tora grinned, wrapping his arms around the slightly smaller frame of Saga. Saga pulled back a second later, winked at him, and took off for school. Tora was left dazed.

Nya… This is going to have an extra chapter, since It’s becoming quite detailed. I hope you guys like it. More soon, but seeing as how my internet availability is quite unreliable for posting, I’m not sure when it will be.
