Reece’s POV~
Finally, school is finally over. I was walking down the hall with Oliver and James.
I was planning on meeting up with Danny but he had already left for the scenic route home.
I was planning on seeing Xander but I didn’t want to press him on abandoning me int he hallway this morning. I heard about him falling down two flights of the stairs in our school and it shocked me. But when I heard that someone had taken him to the infirmary I got suspicious. Xander was the bad boy of the school so the only people that liked him were his cronies and I. His cronies were suffering hall duty during the time he fell so it was kind of…off.
Could he have a secret fangirl? A fanboy?
I clench my fist and stop walking as I looked at the ground. I remembered something from Xander’s childhood that he had a boy who loved him until he moved to Japan from America so…
Why am I not doing anything about it?
“Ree-kun?”
I jerk up to look at Oliver’s and James’ worried looks. “You ok? You’ve been quiet since the news about Xander.”
“And pale too.” I shrugged and my gloomy gaze fell upon the tiled floor of the hallway.
The lights were out but the sunset outside shone inside the empty hall. “C’mon lets hurry before they lock us in here like last time!” James says, giggling with Oliver joining him. I was still feeling a bit nauseous but I had to not let my feelings come over me.
Besides, these are my best friends right by me. I faked a smile and said cheerfully, “Okay!” We had to fast walk since Oliver had an injury on his ankle from a while ago.

Oliver and I live not too far from each other so whenever Clara ditches me in the mornings, I have someone to keep me going in the morning.
We wave and hug each other goodbye as we both go our separate ways down the street.
It was nighttime when I arrived at my door.
I could practically sense Clara’s footsteps at the door, waiting to yell her head off about me being late. I twisted the knob and walk in to see the place completely dark. I raised an eyebrow and close the door after walking in and sliding out of my shoes into some warm slippers. I turn on the light to see another note on the fridge. It read:
‘Stupid brat. I left to go settle some business with someone. Cook something for yourself for once moron. Don’t think I won’t y-‘
By the time that sentence went up, I had already trashed the note.
Way to go ‘big sis’.
By business, you obviously mean another sleepover at your boyfriend’s.
Tch.
Why did today turn out like this anyway?
I roll my eyes and sigh, opening the fridge and taking out the strawberry milk bottle on the edge. I slipped open my jacket and plopped on my couch, turning the TV on.
After a couple minutes of watching Junjou Romantica, my stomach grumbles. My eye twitches.
Fudge.
There’s only one thing that I’m bad at doing. And that is cooking. Clara knows this yet she makes up excuses for me to cook for myself while she goes to hang out with friends or her boyfriend West.
I swear, she loves to watch me cringe.
I can’t even order a pizza since Clara took all my goddamn money that I saved to buy a new laptop since she overheated it with her stupid Skype calls. I find myself squeezing the milk bottle until its broken just by thinking about Clara.
I then wince in pain to see small cuts on my hands from the shards. I pause my show before standing up and walking to the bathroom to search for a first-aid kit. I sigh in irritation to find only a sticky note on the cabinets. It read:
‘I took the first-aid kit by the way. Have fun cle-‘
I had stopped reading as I ripped the note in small pieces.
Stupid Clara and her notes.
I look over to my cellphone and a plan comes up in my head. I could just call my friend next door. His name is Kusa and he is a really nice guy. Plus he is the same age as me so we immediately hit it off. Yet I don’t see him much since he stopped going over to my apartment for some video game action. He just drifted away from that point. Since its been a while, maybe this is a good time to see him. I pick up my phone and try to wipe the blood from the cuts while dialing Kusa’s number. It rings a few times before he finally picks up.
“Kusa speaking.” Same greeting as usual!
“Ku-chan!!!~” he then gasped and spoke excitedly into the phone.
“Wait. Is it you? It’s really you! Hazu-chan?!?”
“The one and only!” Hazuki is my Japanese name but I use Reece, my American name since I didn’t want a lot of people knowing my real name.
“It’s been so long!! Want to come over? My parents won’t be coming home until a few hours so we could have time to catch up.”
“On my way!”
“Alright. Can’t wait!” He then hangs up as I leave the apartment, locking the door behind me. I knock on the door down the hall from mine as it swings open to a bright, smiling face.
I blushed a little at the little differences about him. He was taller. His hair was dyed dark blue but he still had his shiny green eyes. He had more muscle and his hair was spiky which sealed the deal. “Like what you see?”
I blink as he smirks, catching me staring at him. My cheeks tint a light pink as he steps to the side, allowing me to walk in. I stare around his living room. It was the same as the last time I went over to his place.
The walls were splashed with bright orange that looked sort of faded and the carpet was brown as always. There were more family pictures on the desks though. There was the same bowl of fruit on the counter of their modern kitchen with smooth tiling. They had a flat screen TV so that was new. “Nice place.”
“Not as nice as yours. I loved coming over because it felt roomy even though your sister yells at me at the littlest things.” We both laughed while settling on the couch.
“Kusa.”
“Hm?”
“Have any-” “-strawberry milk? It’s already in the fridge.” He says, cutting me off as my face lightened up at the sweet words of strawberry. “Sweet!”
I jump up until Kusa grabs my wrist. “Don’t worry. You’re my friend so I’ll get it.”
“My, you’ve changed.” But he was already up and didn’t hear me. Kusa used to be extremely lazy and mostly ordered other guests to get him stuff. Including me.
I take this chance to examine on Kusa’s figure.
He had more muscle and he was still skinny but his figure was perfect. His butt looked more firm and his legs… Oh man. Perfecto!! The way his hair shifted in the back. So cool~ I just loved the sound of his voice and the way he- “Liking what you see?”
I blink and try to process the events while he gave me his smug grin. Kusa’s smug and gleaming, green eyes was almost enough to push me to my limit. He was famous for that grin of his.
“I-I-I-I”
“Y-Y-Y-You what? Spit it out.” He replies, mocking my stuttering and laughing in his words while he walks back to the couch.
He hands me the strawberry milk and I thank him as he winks back, making me blush a little and look at the TV.
Our favorite show, Sekaiichi Hatsukoi (sorry if I spelled it wrong >.<) was playing tonight and we were excited. Luckily, it was just starting. During the commercial breaks, we had mostly talked and I had finished my milk. We ended up drinking more strawberry milk while he settled with chocolate. By the time the commercial break was over, we were already starting to get closer than we were before.
Kusa had his head on my lap while I usually ran my fingers through his spiky hair. He just smiled an continued watching while I did too. His hair was spiky but it was silky and smooth. I felt myself enchanted by everything about him. His hair, his personality….his voice. Then, Kusa’s voice broke me out of the trance. “Hazu-chan?”
I blinked and looked down to see Kusa looking up at me coolly in the silence. He had his arms giving him comfort with his hands holding his head up to look at me.
“Did you blank out? You missed the show.” He motions to the TV to see the ending credits of the show. I sighed.
“I’m pretty sure it was a re-run but they all look new to me!” Kusa says, smiling up at me. My mind was racing. My head lowered as Kusa raised an eyebrow at me.
“Yo Hazu-chan? You there dude?” I couldn’t hear his voice as my consciousness and I fought over which choice was best but it was too late. I felt my lips rest on his soft, luscious ones.
It felt wrong but it felt right.
Kusa just stayed there as his eyes widened. His eyelids then fluttered close as he began to kiss back a few minutes after. I pulled away as he looked at me with his same smug look but I had a surprised face stuck on mine.
He…He kissed me back..?
“Why are you surprised?” He puts me back in reality as he grins at me.
“I just n-never expected you t-to kiss back..”
“Well of course I’ll kiss you back. I like you after all.” He just said it so smoothly and calmly that my face was red. He then sits up and captures my lips again.
I kiss him back as he straddles me. We just sit there kissing until the doorbell rings. I was slightly disappointed as Kusa got up and answered the door.
My eyes widened.
“Hello.”
“Yeah hi. Where’s Reece?”
“What?”
I forgot to tell Kusa my American name. Looks like I’m in trouble.
“Reece. I’m sure you two have been acquainted with for a while.”
“Sorry dude but who are you talking about?”
“B-” Kusa closes the door in his face as he walks back, slightly irritated.
“Who was at the door?” I ask calmly, trying to not sound panicky.
“Some guy with long, brown hair. He looked like a rebel and really dangerous. He had a friend with him too.”
“Really now?” I look over to the window by his TV and see Xander mouthing me to meet him outside. I give him a thumbs up and a look that read are-you-out-of-your-mind?! and look to Kusa who stares at the floor. “Hey, you okay?”
“What’s your real name?” I was silent. I take a deep breath.
“IrecentlylivedinAmericasomyAmericannameisReecebutIwasborninJapansomyrealnameisHazuki.” I say, really fast.
He raises an eyebrow and opens his mouth until I place my lips on his. He looked surprised until he gave in. We kiss for a few seconds until I pulled away.
“Is it ok to come tomorrow? It’s getting late and your parents might be coming soon.”
“Yeah sure. Sorry for keeping you here late.”
“S’okay. At least we got together again, yeah?” He nods and gives me a smile before giving me a hug and a light kiss that made my knees weaken.
That boy….gosh why did he turn out to be so hot?!
I leave his apartment as he flashes me his billion dollar smile and friendly wave. I waved back and blush as I walk down the stairs.
I find Xander and his friend hiding in the bush when I was walking up to them. Xander hugs me and kisses my cheek while we three walked back to my apartment.
But little did I know…
There was a tearful boy at the window, watching the whole scene.
(Yassssssss it’s done my Oreos ^3^ finally ikr? It took awhile. And btw Junjuo Romantica and Sekaiichi Hatsukoi belong to their owners an I do not own it. I own Kusa as an original OC as well as Hazuki but Xander is probably just someone I thought off the top of my head. Well anyway. Comment and vote if you liked it. If you didn’t, it’s okay. Not everyone will love the same thing. Except twins…but anyway. Bye!! Shine on and eat Oreos~!)
