Title: You Remind Me
Pairing: Ryoda, Akame, Tanaka and a few others on the sidelines
Rating: PG 13 ( I guess.)
Genre: Romance ( not to sure as to what genre this fic will be in except for what I've stated)
Summary: Ueda Tatsuya confessed to his crush Nishikido Ryo but it seems that the latter loathes him for a lot of reasons. But nothing more could surpass Ryo's hatred for Tatsuya's face. What is it with Ueda's face that made Nishikido abhor the older one? (Honestly, I'm not really good with summaries but I hope somehow i got my point through.)
A/N: Everyone this is my first time writing a fic, a multi-chapter for that too. After months of just reading fics written by others, I decided to write one for myself. The idea for this fic had been on my mind for quite a long time now after hearing Usher's
You Remind Me . I just love that song! I'm really not so confident with my work but hey...better try than regretting not doing it later! So i hope you'll like this one and comments are so welcomed and loved but please go easy on me. I'm still a child in this field.^_^

CHAPTER 7
“Yuichi, do you know the name of a certain tall guy who always has a goofy smile plastered on his face?” Kamenashi asked, surprising the man being inquired off. Nakamaru Yuichi, also one of Kame and Tatsuya’s friends, just stared at Kazuya weirdly, one eyebrow tilted a little higher than the other.
“Ha?” Nakamaru voiced out, confusion written all over his face.
“A tall guy, quite thin who keeps on smiling, do you know his name?” Kamenashi asked again, this time more forceful than before.
“Why?” Maru answered back as he set aside his things on the table giving his demanding friend his full attention.
“I’m just curious.” The young lad replied giving off an air of disregard.
“And how did that guy got your curiosity in the first place?” Nakamaru inquired as he shot prying glances at the other.
“Just wondering if he and Tat-chan knew each other.” Kame remarked his brows furrowed.
“Tat-chan?” Yuichi said so surprised by the involvement of their friend.”How did Tat-chan get entangled with this?” He asked again, this time it was him whose brows were wrinkled. The two conversing figure glanced at a specific person with them on the table. Surrounding them at the table were Yamapi and Ryo both taken with their own worry. Nishikido was busying himself reading a thick book, head leaning against his left palm as his concentration was solely fixed on the manuscript and nothing else. Kamenashi and Nakamaru glanced back at each other; one had a worried expression on his face the other let out a soft sigh.
“I saw him and Tatsuya talking a couple of days ago and they seemed to be pretty close to each other.” Kame stated with a mocking smile on his face.
“You could have been mistaken. Did you confront Tat-chan about this?” Maru inquired as he did not want to jump into any assumptions.
“Yes. He said he did not know the guy. The guy just asked him if he saw a friend of his passed by to where Tat-chan was at that time.” Kame responded giving more emphasis on the word saw.
“You got your answer. If Tatsuya said that he doesn’t know the guy then he must not really now that person.” Yuichi declared matter- of- fact.
“But…Maru they were so serious when they were talking. Just asking if Tatsuya saw his friend pass by doesn’t need to have a somber atmosphere around them.” Kame explained, his tone was uncertain and he looked so lost in his own thinking.
“If....Let’s just say if your hunch is true then why would Tatsuya lie about not knowing that man? I can’t think of any reasons.” The other person replied as he formulated any probable causes for their friend’s denial.
“Uhh…” Kame mumbled as he slightly averted his gaze away from his friend’s look.”He kinda said before that he actually moved on with…” He added in a soft tone afterwards setting his gaze on the occupied Nishikido. Nakamaru, tilting one eyebrow, lips pouting as he stared back at his younger companion.
“Are you saying that he is Tatsuya’s new affection?” Maru exclaimed, shock written on his face.
“We haven’t heard anything from him lately and maybe he really did have someone new. I also don’t want to assume things Maru but if he is truly happy then I’m ok with it. My support is with him all the way. There is no need for him to hide this, to lie to me, to us.” Kame said exasperatedly.
“Sorry for interrupting your conversation but is that the guy you were referring to Kame?” Yamapi asked as he pointed his index finger to a towering man with a big grin across his face walking to the other school building. Kamenashi and Nakamaru’s neck almost snapped by the immediate turning they made just to have a look at the man Yamapi was pointing at. The said tall man was accompanied by two girls both on his side, flashing his goofy grin which at some point Kame saw as the tall guy’s way of flirting with the opposite sex.
Maru’s faced looked so pissed as he gaze at the flirting tall man a few meters from them.
“Could he really be Tat-chan’s new love because that guy is obviously flirting with those girls and it’s not a good sign for our friend?” Nakamaru remarked his gaze mocking.
“I’m pretty certain he’s that guy Maru.” Kamenashi said dispiritedly, weakly as his stare lingered on the laughing man.
“As I was listening to your conversation, I can’t help but comment. What you, Kamenashi, theorized could be correct but we can’t also rule out the idea that maybe, he really doesn’t know that guy.” Yamapi declared in a tone so objective as he wiggled on his seat, his face far from looking bored. “Taguchi Junnosuke, that’s the guy’s name. He’s a year or so younger than Ueda. Loves telling puns which others don’t find very funny. Some even find it stupid but still he continued stating them tirelessly. As far as I know, they don’t have anything in common with Ueda. It’s not like I know Tatsuya that well too but you can tell just by looking at that towering guy over there. They are miles and miles apart from each other. What you may have sense at that time could have been awkwardness and not admiration.“He added, his gaze shifting from the talked about tall boy to the two worrying friends before him.
Nakamaru and Kamenashi stared at each other then back at the tall guy named Taguchi Junnosuke.
“Yamapi could be right. It could just have been awkwardness and nothing else.” Nakamaru stated his voice a little doubtful as he flashed Kamenashi his forced smile.
“Yuichi you don’t look convincing.” The younger boy joked as he stifled a little laugh. Kamenashi can’t help but think who was Nakamaru convincing; him or himself? The two friends stopped laughing as they both heave out a depressing sigh.
“You two shouldn’t really get that worked up about Ueda’s love interest or something.” Yamapi declared as he looked at the two worrying friends, his hand was playing with a pen he found near him. “I’m not saying that you shouldn’t be after all you are his friends and friends tend to worry about their friend’s problems and such…If he really does like that guy then good for him. At least, he is officially over with Ryo. You know how hostile Ryo had been towards him and I don’t like to see Ueda taking the beating of my friend’s harsh words towards him.” Yamapi said, his gazing never leaving Kamenashi and Nakamaru.
“Will you please stop talking about me as if I am not here! In case you haven’t notice, I’m busy with a lot of things and you babbling about that guy’s love life, which I’m not interested by the way, irritates me! Just hearing his name annoys me so if you want to continue talking about him then I suggest you find a new place.” Nishikido exclaimed, eyes raging with fury as he looked at Kamenashi, Nakamaru and Yamapi.
“Relax Nishikido!” Nakamaru defended himself. “We’ll stop talking about Tat-chan now.” He added as he stared back at the black haired guy before him. Kame just shook his head after hearing Nishikido’s warning as he slowly massaged his temples. He felt like he was going to have a headache just sensing Nishikido’s strong dislike towards his friend. Yamapi just lazily gazed at his fuming friend beside him. He was starting to get tired of all the anger, hatred and bitterness surrounding his best friend and a certain copper haired guy. A little idea was starting to form in his head and he can’t help but wonder if he could do something to help these two, well most likely his best friend, in erasing all these negative emotions and finally bridging them together. He wondered intently then afterwards he gave out a sigh; how could he even think of involving himself with his friend’s problem when he still got his own one to solve.
