The airport was bustling with all the people that have just landed. Yuto frantically looked around for the familiar face. “NAKA-TO!” someone shouted, before Yuto face palms his own face. “Damn, not that name,” Yuto turned around, and saw a guy in his hat, collar tee shirt, and long pants running towards him.

“It’s been awhile!” the person said, before smacking hard onto Yuto’s back. “Okamoto Keito, don’t call me by that name in public!”

Keito sticks out his tongue, before walking off. Yuto just shakes his head, before going after him. “I can’t believe that he’s older than me,” Yuto thought to himself. “How are auntie and uncle doing?” Keito asked, once he got inside the car. “They’re fine as they are now. Anyway, your room will be the guest room, so just don’t mess it up. Oka-san took troubles to clean the room for your arrival,” Yuto started to lecture the older.

Keito pouted, before he leaned on his back at the backseat of the car. “Fine fine,” before Keito started to grin to himself. “Naka-to, do you have a girlfriend right now?”

Yuto turned back, and hurriedly defended himself. “HUH!? What.. What’s with that question all of a sudden?”

“Hmm…so you have one?” Keito asked, before he chuckled. “I don’t have!” Yuto retorted before he started the car’s engine and drove off, with Keito still behind, smiling to himself.

“AND I AM SAYING AGAIN, don’t create trouble on the first day in school!” Yuto reprimanded Keito, before bringing him to his class. “This is your classroom, remember it!” Keito just looked elsewhere, not willing to listen to Yuto.

Irritated, Yuto smacked Keito hard on his head. “LISTEN WHEN PEOPLE IS TALKING TO YOU!” This caught the attention of the surrounding students, and Keito just started to giggle at Yuto’s embarrassment.

“Jeez. I’ll meet you after school then,” Yuto said, before he rushed off to his own classroom.

Yamada looked at Yuto, before he starts to reach out to him, and caress his face. “Yuto, you seemed to be troubled,”

“Ah, it’s my cousin. Giving me all sort of troubles,” Yuto complained, before he sighed. “But you seem to be having fun though,” Yamada replied.

“Is that something good or bad?” Yuto then patted Yamada on his head.

***

Yamada always hated this day of the week. Since Yuto always have curriculum activities, he will need to go home by himself. Packing his stuffs into his bag, he walked out of the classroom, with his earpiece plugged into his ears. 

He slowly made his way to the entrance of the school, before a hand came and drag him along, running.

Soon, the person stopped. He halted his tracks and tried to catch his breadth. Angry, Yamada took out his earpiece, and looked at that person. “HEY! Don’t go grabbing people just like that!” he screamed.

The person turned, and apologized. “I’m sorry! Because those guys were running after me, and then you were in front, so I just grabbed onto you to run with me,”

“Jeez,” Yamada said, before he turned and attempted to walk off.

The person blocked his way, and appeared in front of him again. “What do you want now?” Yamada stared at the boy.

“My name is Okamoto Keito, nice to meet you. I’m really sorry about just now, so… let me make up for you!”  The person introduced. Yamada pushed him aside, “No thanks, now go away,”

Keito smirked as he looks at Yamada’s back view. “That boy… is interesting,”

“Yuto! YUTO!” his friend called him out, before it shake Yuto out from his daze mode.

“You all right?” his friend asked. Yuto looked towards him, and nodded his head. “Thanks, Morimoto,”

Morimoto Ryutaro, Yuto’s best friend. Although he is younger than Yuto two years, they clique as soon as they know each other, and everybody had said that both of them looked like brothers. 

After they were released, Yuto and Ryutaro walked home together. “How are things between you and Yamada?”

Yuto just laughed and asked Ryutaro to stop teasing him. Then, they started to talk, from school to family, to friends, to Yuto’s cousin.

“What about me?” the voice sounded, and Yuto have turned, to realize that Keito was standing behind Ryutaro. Keito then have placed his hand over Ryutaro’s shoulder. “Hello, my name is Okamoto Keito,”

“Stop that Keito!” Yuto said, before he pushed his hands off Ryutaro. “I’m sorry, Morimoto. This guy is one rude person,”

Ryutaro shake his head, before he look at the guy that was standing beside Yuto, and they both started to argue with one another.  It was his delicate feature and voice. Everything of his captured his attention. That was the first time someone have ever treated him so kindly, that was the first time someone actually place their hand around their shoulder.

Yuto then excused themselves from Ryutaro, as he pushes Keito off. Ryutaro continued staring at Keito. “What’s this feeling?” Ryutaro placed his palm onto his chest, and he felt his heart beating hard and fast.
