Notes : THANK YOU! I LUV YOU GUYS SO MUCH !! XD
Like the common 21 years old academy student in Tokyo, I'm at time on enjoying my college life with my friends. Especially this one guy, that I met in the beginning of my college day. From the total eight hundred and twenty nine freshman, only the two of us whom false upon hearing professor named Takaki to Takagi that got us inside the wrong department. We ended up have to listen the famous dizzying colloquium, while grins at each other knowing how stupid we were. And continue with introducing ourselves to one another. From that very first second, he never fail to living up my world. Physically he’s very handsome and I’m very proud having him as my buddy. He also independently living by his own after graduated high school which I do envy and admire at the same time since I failed on persuade my mom to let me do so. Another great thing about him, he know me so well and the only one who can stand my spoiled nature even in the age I am now. Basically I can say that he is my best buddy ever.
"Ryosuke!" Chinen enfolding his arm around the said bestfriend from the back, as he found him sitting in one of cafetaria table, "I’ve got two tickets for the new movie, wanna go tommorow?"
"Mouh Yuwri sthop chowking meh when I'm eawting." The guy named Yamada Ryosuke mumbled some words as he continue eating.
"Ah gomen.” He smiled while sit on the empty seat beside his buddy. “How about I lend you a hand as my sincere apology?" Chinen fastly took over the plate of curry rice from Yamada.
"Oi Chinen it's just my second scoop and you already stole it from me? Is that what you supposedly done after fifteen hours without seeing me huh?"
"Un. I'm helping you anyway." Chinen smirked as the curry sauce smearing around his mouth.
"Uh gross." Yamada pressing Chinen cheeks with his palm making the lips forming a 'chuu' shape before then randomly wiping the sauce around it using a tissue.
"Hmpph- yamero baka-“ Chinen try to struggle.
“Don’t mention it, I only return the favor you did to me.” He smirks.
“Anoo sa.. sorry to bother your fun, but can you please stop making our table being the centre attention here?" The pretty looking boy that apparently sitting in front of them suddenly responded.
The pair gaze the surrounding and stop what they did as they realize had making such a ruckus in public place.
"Chinen's fault."
"Yours."
"Yours."
"Baka." Chinen chuckled.
“Yare yare.. you two never changed. How long is it already? Two years and you never grow.” Another one who sit there known as Daiki shaking his head.
"Got any class today?" Yamada asked while handing Chinen another tissue, pointed at the remaining sauce around his mouth.
“Yep though only one subject this morning."
"Mendokusai na~"
"Iya. I could have reason for seeing you guys after all." He grin widely. "But don't get your head up. I'm just too bored at home."
"Ahh warui Chinen. But our class will get started soon." The pretty boy before named Inoo felt guilty has to leave their friend who just coming.
Chinen nod and cast a smile. "It's okay."
"Hontou warui Chinen. See you later okay." Daiki apologized as him and the others get up from the table after picking up their stuffs for heading towards their classes.
"See you tommorow guys."
Have nothing else to do, Chinen exhales and decided to finish the rest of the curry rice when he notice Yamada still not moving further from the table.
"What are you doing there? You're gonna be late for class." He looked up while having spoon in his mouth.
"Curry. I haven't even eaten half of it."
"So?”
"So in return you must treat another curry for my dinner tonight."
He frown, "And for what reason I would do that for you Yamada?"
"Because.." Yamada curved a smirk. "I’m sure you don't have any objection to reject an invitation to join my dinner with my homemade curry as the menu, do you?"
Chinen eyes got sparkles, "Hontou?"
"Yeah, you could buy the ingredients at the usual market while I get the classes. I will meet you there after class. Deal?"
"Deal!"
I stare at a note of the stuff list I need to buy that he left me before, on my way to the store. Its quite a long list, wonder why I accept it right away. Yamada is a great chef that I like when he spoil me with cooking. But at the downside, sometimes he use it to tempt me. Well I ended up don’t mind. I like the way he is, after all it seems like we indeed destined on becoming bestfriend.

Chinen now standing in front of the 24 hours store that located around 100 meters from the apartment where Yamada lived. He just finished paying for the ingredients they need for curry when Yamada arrived.
"Waited long?"
"Nope. But I'm starving."
Yamada chuckle, "Didn't the curry before enough for several hours?"
"For your information, I haven't eaten anything from morning besides that curry." Chinen grumbled.
"Hai hai I got it. Let's hurry home then."
After walking by feet about 10 minutes, they arrived at the destination. It's a small and average apartment that used to be occupied by some colleger. So small that they only need to climb on few staircase to reach for Yamada room.
"Woah it's quite messy here. Pretty unusual coming from you." Chinen looked at some shirts hanging everywhere on the chairs.
"Ah gomen, just put it to somewhere else. I didn't have time to do the laundry since I got many homeworks lately."
"Hee..." Chinen tidy up the place a bit before sit his butt down on the chair while Yamada himself rush into the kitchen carry the grocery bag.
"Maybe you should get a girlfriend for helping you tidy up ne~" he randomly said.
The rustling sound of the plastic bag stop as Yamada hands suddenly stop its movement.
"Girlfriend? You’re one to talk. How about you get one first?"
"Huh? Me? I don't have anyone I'm interested with at the moment." Chinen strecthed his arms on table.
"..souka." He continue cooking the curry for their dinner and serve it on the table soon after it finished.
"Itadakimasu!"
"Itadakimasu."
"Uwoo..umaai.... Sugee yo! It taste so much better from the cafetaria made!" Chinen seeming so happy while gobble up his curry.
"Mochiron yo, who do you think I am?" Yamada laugh through his nose with proud.
"Haha you’re easy to flattered, Yama-chan," Chinen's laughter rang throughout their dinner. A little tiny moment with Yamada can always be so fun, he wonder why.
"By the way, why suddenly you invite me? Are we celebrating something?"
"Nope. Just... how could I let you alone after you showed that kind of face?"
"Eh?"
"You don't feel like go home today right? Did something happen?"
Chinen stunned at his place, looks like he could never hide anything from Yamada. He put down the chopstick.
"Well... I did fight with my mother."
Yamada stand up while grabbing the empty plates to the kitchen. "Make sure you apologize to her later ne." He gently said followed with a soft 'un' from Chinen.
"Ryosuke... arigatou ne." He sincerely smiles as Yamada smile back while turning his body around from the kitchen.
The way Yamada always understand him so damn well never fail to amaze him. He could never hide anything eventhough Chinen is a great actor on hiding any of his unnecessary feeling. He don't have to explain every small detail especially the things that he embarrassed about when its with Yamada. Chinen know that he won’t find someone like him twice in a lifetime.
Yamada looked at the guy who fallen asleep on his couch after their delicious dinner. His shirt kinda lifted, slightly revealing the slim tummy. He sit beside the body and fixing the shirt before tossing his own back onto the soft couch.
"How can he sleep so peaceful like this?"
The gentle whisper yet sounded painful fill up the room.
"Baka."

"Ryosuke!" Chinen ran approaching the taller guy as seeing his back in the crowd of colleger whom had their way towards the campus.
"Yo, Yuri."
"Sorry about yesterday, I’ve bothering you till night."
"It's okay. Things going well with your mother?"
"Yeah, all thanks to you."
He raise his eyebrow, "How can?"
"Your curry totally the best. I forgot my problem because of that."
Yamada laugh through his nose again upon hearing such a praise, "You"re welcome." He place his big palm on top of Chinen head. "Yuri.. I-"
"Ah, Dai-chan, Inoo-chan."
Yamada’s hand detached as Chinen run to his another bestfriends. Not noticing what kind of expression that formed on the face he left off.
"Yo, Chinen. Sorry couldn't hangout with you yesterday." Inoo said.
"Nevermind that."
"Today want to go? I find a new place." Daiki invited.
"Where?"
"It's a great place. You will experiencing new world."
"Where's that? You make me curious by saying that."
nbsp; "Then go with us." Daiki laugh at the innocence of his friend.
"Okay."
"No he can't. Yuri will go to the movie with me today." Yamada who already behind Chinen suddenly said.
"Movie is boring. Let's try another place that Dai-chan offering. I'm curious too." Inoo suggested.
Chinen confuse but he do feel curious. "Ryosuke, I think it's okay if we try another hangout place."
"No, you're the one who invited me to see the movie."
"Well, we can change the place right?"
"The ticket will be wasted."
"It's okay, I got it free anyway."
"I don't want to go." Yamada said firmly.
"If you don't want, Chinen can come with us Yama-chan. We'll take good care of him." Daiki kindly offered.
"Uhm..." Chinen look up to Yamada and back to Daiki again. "Okay-"
"Yuri, my head hurts. Escort me home." Yamada suddenly cutting before Chinen could finish his words.
"Eh? Your head hurts?"
"Un."
"Well then I will escort you home now. Sorry guys, maybe later."
"Okay, leave your class absent to me. I'll make up something to cover it." Daiki and Inoo waved to the two boys.
Chinen called a taxi and they went home straightly to Yamada's apartment. Once they arrived, Chinen is about to led him to the bed when Yamada told him to bring him to the couch instead.
"Are you okay, Yama-chan? Need to call a doctor?"
"No need. I'll be alright."
"Then, I'll leave now kay? Maybe still can catch up for class."
Chinen was about to leave but Yamada hold his arm. "Don't go with them."
"Them? You meant Dai-chan and Inoo?"
Instead of answering, Yamada just staring at him seriously.
"....you were lied about being sick. What the hell is wrong with you?” Chinen slap his hand.
Yamada snort as get himself up from the couch, "As if you know what kind of place they referring."
"You're not making any sense." Chinen frown and turn his body to leave the room.
“Chinen.” He hold his hand again to stop him.
“I don’t get it Yamada. You were lying only because you don't want to go with them- Whatever I’m outta here.”
“Chinen wait.”
“I said I’m outta here! Let go of my hand!”
He struggles hard but Yamada don’t want to lose either. And there’s only one thing he could do in time like this. He move closer and suddenly bite Chinen left ear. It makes Chinen instantly stop struggling and fall on his butt with a flushed and shocked face.
Yamada smirk, “Still so sensitive eh? It always effective to stop you from being mad.”
“Ryosuke you- I told you to never do it again, damn it!” He jump on Yamada and strangle him in rage, whilst Yamada laughing and let himself being down to the couch. He was right, Chinen already forget his upset feeling before.
He then hold Chinen hands from strangle his neck, “Yuri, I'm saying it for your own good. It's your choice for trusting me or not."
Chinen click his tounge as he get off from top of Yamada, "Well I do.."
"Then?"
He looked at him before then take a deep sigh, "Okay, I won't go with them today. Satisfy?"
"Cool." Yamada smiled.
"Still want go to the movie?"
Yamada nod while stand up. "Sure, I’ll treat you some lunch before the show."

"Yamada kinda bossing around don't you think?"
The question that suddenly stated by Daiki awaken Chinen from daydreaming, turn his eyes off looking out the classroom window.
"Over me?"
"Un, I'm referring about that day. Eventhough he's your bestfriend, it doesn’t mean he should decide things for you."
"You think so?"
"Dai-chan, better think for the upcoming exam before taking care of other people." Inoo who sit between them said wisely.
"Mou.. Why remind me to horrible thing..." Daiki holds his own head cutely.
"Want me to teach you?"
He turns into the older guy, "Inoo-sama onegaii."
"Hmm let's see.. No, can't do. I planned to straightly go home and sleep except someone offer me some salmon sushi treat after class."
"....I'll treat you."
Both Chinen and Inoo laughed at the helpless Daiki but their fun should be stop since the lecturer already entering the room to begin the class.

"Bossing around huh?"
Chinen stop his fingers on typing the text messages when suddenly Yamada brought up the topic, in the middle of walking home together.
"Eavesdropping are you?"
"I just happened to pass by your class when you guys blabbered about that things."
"Well, I don't think you are. Don't mind it." He then continue typing his message.
"Oh."
"Even if you are, I won't mind since its you."
"Why is that?"
"I like you, that was enough for a reason." He said while keep focus on his phone.
Yamada snapped his head to him before then burst into giggles, "'I like you' huh? Typically." Making Chinen pout.
"I like you too, Chinen."
"I know. Ah I'm turning here, see you later, Ryosuke." Chinen waved, running on his own path home.

"Ryosuke!" Chinen stomping into Yamada and the other’s classroom soon after the lecturer walk out, means class over.
"Yuri, you don't have to yell everytime you call me." Yamada smile as clearing his books on table and put it into his bag.
"It's not the time for laughing. I had a big fight with my sister earlier."
"Again?"
"Yeah, but this was a big one. I seriously don't want to see her face for awhile." Chinen grumbled while Yamada chuckles again since he can guess what kind of fighting Chinen's in.
"You seem in a good mood."
"Nothing." He humming.
"Hum.. well whatever. Let me sleep in your place tonight."
Yamada hum instantly stop, feel like he heard wrong. "Huh?"
"Let me staying over a night."
"Cannot."
"Heh?"
"Yuri, I am living alone alright? So my bed is the only bed I have."
"Yeah I know. But can’t you please share it with me at least just for this night?"
"Listen, we’re both a grown up so I don’t think I have to explain it to you."
"Ahh I got it~ someone will get mad if anyone else using your bed right?" Daiki suddenly join their conversation as he linger his arm around Chinen shoulder.
"What do you mean Dai-chan?"
"Somebody, Chinen. This." Daiki pointed his pinky finger. “It’s usual for a grown up man to have one or two. Especially when he’s living alone.”
Chinen blinks before then choked a laugh, "Yama-chan doesn't have someone like that, Daiki. Nobody would mad even if he bring a girl to his room." While Daiki shrugged.
"Sorry, I really can't do you the favor today."
"Eh?"
"Gomen."
"But why?"
The taller guy doesn't say a thing instead he stand up while lifted his bag with him.
"Oi Ryosuke."
“Let’s just say..” He paused, “I don't want to see your face for awhile." Then directly walks out the class after saying those words, leaving Chinen dumbfounded with his lips slightly open.
"Dai-chan, what's wrong with my face?"
"How could I know?" Daiki then turn into another table since Inoo has called him to finish his homework.
Chinen gaze back to the classroom door, the person before had already nowhere to see. He sighed while scratched his head, "Did I say something wrong?”
_______________________________
It’s another Friday, one of the day he get the same classes with Yamada. But from morning, the said person not seen in any class. Chinen confused since Yamada isn’t a type who would skipping class just because he just lazy or even when they’re in fight. Not having any clue, he decided to ask Yuma, their junior that often following them, whom happened to walk inside their classroom right now.
"Yuma-kun!” He waved his hand.
Hearing his name being called, Yuma quickly rush to the table where Chinen, Inoo and Daiki are.
“Rare to see you here. By the way did you see Yama-chan?"
"That's exactly what I want to inform you guys now Chinen-kun."
"Nani?" Inoo asked curiously.
"Yama-chan, he..” He paused a second while stared at Chinen. “I saw it when I'm passing by his apartment last night. The big boobs girl was confessing to him!”
“EHH?” Inoo and Daiki said in unison.
"Big boob- what?" Chinen trying to comprehend.
"I told you about the transfered student from overseas back then, I see you're not listening." Yuma slightly pout before continue the news. "So it seems the girl was waiting in front of his apartment but I think they already made an arrangement before to meet there. Because from what I heard, Yamada didn’t seem surprised."
And Yuma continue blabbering about the whole confession. But the only thing that stuck in Chinen head is the final word Yuma just inform them.
"He....accept it?"
To be continue.....
