Unexpected
Through space and time the path unwinds
Leading me straight to you

We found each other's hands

After another 20 minutes driving, Sho finally reached the campus and went to find a place to park his car. That's why he always liked to arrive early. After that he checked his watch and started walking towards the economics building in the campus quickly, knowing that Jun may be already waiting for him and that he wasn't the type that enjoyed wait too much.
As he reached the building, he saw Jun sitting on the stairs. It was like a routine for them, everyday they'd wait each other sitting on those stairs and went together to class. That's the way they'd been doing it for the last 3 years, and not even Sho getting a boyfriend or Jun's numerous ones had made them to break their habit.
"Good morning, Jun"
"Sho"
Sho smiled to his friend, they had met each other in middle school, and they had been friends since then. Not even their different personalities or behavior had disturbed that.
Sho was the good kid, he had always done what he was told to. He would always dress appropriately, eat appropriately and act appropriately. He had a clean expedient, and has gained the label of Mr. perfect many times during his life. Even the fact of him liking boys hadn’t been a problem in his impeccable expedient of life.
But Jun was different, he was rebel, extrovert, loved to dress fashionably and calling attention. He acted a way he was desired by many, but he didn't desire any. It was just his game.
"So, are you going to the party tonight? I bet Hiro is going"
Oh, right, the party. Sho had already forgotten about that. They had been invited to a "friend's" birthday party that people say would be awesome since he'd have the house just for them. Though Sho was doubting it'd be that amazing, for sure it' be another posh boring party. And then was Hiro, his supposed boyfriend about whom he really didn't care that much and less after the many fights they were having lately.
"We've kinda argued"
"Ooops! Sorry!"
Sho chuckled and looked at Jun.
"Nah, don't worry. But I'm not sure about the party, I really have no will at all..."
"Oh, come on! Will be fun, I'll be there! Even more, if you've argued with Hiro I bet there'll be many other hot guys. You should loose yourself some more Sho, you're so stiff"
He laughed at his friend's teasing and words, they had always been like this: Sho too stiff to Jun's like and Jun too loose to Sho's.
The rest of the day passed as always, he forcing Jun to pay attention to class and making sure the teachers didn't caught him texting hiding his cell phone behind his book.
As soon as classes ended they headed outside, Jun ran out in direction to his car and before going in, he shouted at Sho.
"So, I'll see you tonight?"
"Nah, I don't think so...”
Sho's words were cut by Jun
"Boring...I'd invite you to the mall with me but then you also will say no"
Sho rolled his eyes laughing at the assertive comment of his friend
"Exactly, have fun tonight!" he said and went to his own car.
Once at home, Sho headed to his room and turned on the stereo, while throwing himself in bed with his favorite book on hand. Who needed another boring party when you can have a relaxed time at home, right?
A couple of hours later, his mobile started to ring, he could guess without looking at it that it was Jun so he immediately picked up, knowing already what the other wanted.
"Hello you, on your way now?" he asked and could hear Jun chuckling on the other side of the line.
"Yups, are you sure you're not coming grandpa?" he asked
"Nah, don't think so..."
"Come on, are you really going to abandon me and let me go alone?"
"Really Jun? Blackmail?" Sho laughed.
"Oh just shut up and come to the party. If I arrive and you're not there I'll go to your house and drag you here" Jun said in a playful tone, but Sho knew he wasn't joking…
"We'll see" was all Sho said before hanging up.
After a couple minutes, Sho made his mind and started to get dressed. He picked a pair of black jeans and a shirt, with a blazer over it and went to say goodbye to his parents before leaving. He didn't want to be bothered of not being able to drink because he'd have to drive so he went to take a taxi instead and after 20 minutes he was in front of the place to find Jun in the door looking at him with a smirk.
"I knew you'd come! Now, let's go in!"
Sho just followed Jun inside, of course it was obvious he'd come, he always ends up doing whatever Jun would ask him to...
He was looking around the place, scanning for familiar faces when Jun patted his back to call his attention.
"Gonna pick something to drink, the usual?"
"Please. I'll be a--- oh..."
His words got cut as he saw him... as expected, Hiro, his boyfriend was there. He saw him looking back at him but he turned to other side; it was enough having come to the party as to get annoyed by him again.
"Shouldn't you two talk?"
"Weren't you going to pick some drinks?"
Sho saw how Jun just chuckled before turning around and going to the table of the drinks, so he just turned around and wandered around the place towards the garden, to a quieter place. He knew Jun would find him anyway, so when he heard footsteps behind him, he was expecting to find Jun scolding him for being that antisocial and not him.
"Sho, we should talk…"
Sho just nodded his head softly at Hiro and turned back again, staring to the night sky. The other took it as a positive sign and got closer to him, hugging him from behind. But Sho was sure he wasn't feeling anything, it shouldn't be like that, being hugged by your boyfriend and feel anything. Sho was wondering once again if he was still with Hiro because of appearances.
"Come on baby, are you gonna be angry with me forever?"
"I still haven't decided it"
If he had to be honest, he hadn't thought that much about their last discussion, and they were that frequent that he didn't even remember what was about that one. It was then when he felt Hiro kissing his nape softly before moving his hand to his chest.
Sho was about to turn to face him when they heard a noisy fuss inside the house, so they rushed inside.
"Eh? What's going on?"
Sho looked around, the living room of the house where all the guests were, was becoming a chaos as some people- Sho doubted they were supposed to be there- started to party hard not caring about anything, and nobody was doing anything... what was wrong with that people?

Soon, Aiba arrived home, after spending the whole night out with his friends as usual. He was heading towards his bedroom when he bumped with Ohno, his step-brother heading out of the bathroom.
"Oh-chan" he greeted him with half smile and a nod.
"It was about time you got back" the older man spoke while walking to the kitchen and raising his voice he continued "Just where were you? You should be more careful, you know another report to the police would be really bad for you"
Aiba rolled his eyes and replied with an annoyed tone.
"I know, so don't need you to remind me that all the time, ok?"
He rushed to his bedroom and shut the door behind him in a slam. As he got into his room he laid on his bed looking at the ceiling, not even bothering about changing his clothes that smelled to tobacco and alcohol. He could hear his brother getting ready around the house, he knew he didn't have any right to get annoyed at him, but he didn't need to be reminded about that every day of his life. It had been already 5 years, why nobody could just forget about that? He even moved out from his parents after it and came to live with Ohno, he wasn't his real brother but he was actually glad to having him in his life... despite how he'd treat him. And he knew he should be more thankful to him for letting him live in his apartment even when he was really useless normally.
During those last years, he had just jumped from part time job to another, not really staying long in any nor putting interest into it, and despite how useless for society and his family he was and being called the black sheep of the family always, he enjoyed his way of life. He enjoyed going out the whole night with his friends, riding his bike and go making noise, after all, those guys would never judge him as the rest do.
Before he could keep thinking about it any longer, he turned on the bed and fell asleep, still dressed with his jeans and his jacket.
After some hours, the sound of his phone woke him up, he tried to ignore it but the caller seemed very persistent, so he pulled the phone out of his jeans and groaned as soon as saw the name on the screen. It was Nino his best friend and partner in crime.
"Annoying much?" he said as soon as he picked up
"Ooops, don't tell me I woke you!" the other voice replied in a tease tone
"Never mind, what's up?"
"We have plans, seems there's a party and we got a plan to get in. Wanna come?"
"You needed to ask?" Aiba replied chuckling while jumping out of the bed "Sure, see you guys later ok?"
"Sure, hope we get some hot boys tonight" he heard Nino laughing before hanging up and went to the shower.
Once he was showered and dressed with his usual leather jacket, black jeans a simple white shirt and his boots, he headed to the door, when suddenly it opened. It was Ohno arriving from work
"Welcome back" Aiba said to him with a smile that his brother replied while taking off the coat
"Thank you, going out?"
"Yups, so see you later. Don't wait me" he winked at his brother in a playful way.
"Ok, just be careful ok?...I don't want you to get in trouble, even when you don't do any stupid, you don't know if any of your friends would, so try to stay away from anything that can have bad consequences..."
Aiba didn't flip this time; he knew why Ohno was saying that, so he patted his back and opened the door.
"I'll take care, see you" he said and went outside.
When Aiba arrived, the rest of his friends were already outside a big house, waiting to get in. He waved a salute to the rest and walked towards Nino.
"It was about time Aiba-chan!"
"I know, I know so what's the plan?" he replied chuckling.
“You know Yoko got with that really posh girl some weeks ago? He’s telling is her bro to let us all in”
Aiba laughed at that, who would believe people like them would know people like those in the party. And was it even possible they’d manage to get in?
Surprisingly, they had zero problems to get in there, and they all were feeling like it was their lucky day. A posh party like this one would mean expensive alcohol, and to be honest, that was something they would rarely drink. They made their way through the house while the girl they'd used to get in warned them she didn't want to have anything to do with whatever they were planning.
As soon as they reached the main area of the party, the started to take positions, changing the slow music for one they'd like more and starting to play with everything they'd find, not bothering about disturbing other people. They all liked to party hard, and no stupid wealthy kid would stop them to do so.
Aiba was enjoying his drink while dancing when he turned towards the other side of the room... it was then when he saw him and a smirk grew on his face.
