Gareki sat at the dinner table, with his head resting in his hand. the other picking at his food with a fork in annoyance. Yet again his parents were nagging him about the way he acted. There was nothing wrong with him. Nothing that he had seen. His parents were the nagging type, every singal thing that he did they would nag about it.

He sighed. he didn't see what the problem was. He was an 18 year old in collage. His 19th birthday was next month. He would be moving out into his first home in a apartment close to his new job. He would be working at a bar for night hours and day hours. And he had just recently bought a Mercedes. He would have thought his parents would be proud of how fast he had his future situated. But of course not. He had one problem though.

But it was more of a secret and a problem altogether. He was shocked when he first found out about it. He was gay. For 5 years he had kept it to himself,not telling his parents. He was 13 when he had a first boyfriend, But he had to move away to a differant city. Telling his parents this would really bring shame to the family. Mainly becuase his mother and father had wanted him to marry a girl that they had picked out.

Gareki had met her more then once. She was 17 years old. she had dark brown hair and dark grey eyes. She was pretty. But gareki didn't have an interest to be boyfriend and girlfriend. He had exsplained to her in private that he was gay. She was the only person he had told, and she didn't make fun of him she understood what he was going threw. her name was Airi and both of them were close friends. It felt like they were brother and sister at times.

Gareki didn't really have a crush on any guys in town, But that was about to change.


It had been a year. One simple year. He was now 19 years old. The morning started like any other. Shower, Brush teeth , get dressed, eat breakfast, grab car keys and drive to work. And later on he would have to drive to college.

Looking out side his Mercedes window he saw it was about to rain. Stepping his foot onto the gas pedal he drove forward. Gareki worked at a bar. He worked morning hours up to 10:00am and his night shifts were up to 10:00pm. Sure enough it was alot to put in since he had college 2:00pm. Luckily he was free on the weekends.

A few minutes later he was at the bar. After parking his car he walking up the side walk towards the door. Behind him he heard a car honk. Turning around he saw Airi's jeep in the park way. After she parked it she walked over saying hey.

hey. Gareki smiled. Airi decided to work with him at the bar, she had been dreaming of working at a bar for a while. she was now 18.

Did you hear about the new library they have across the street. I heard they have technical books in now.

As always you know that about me. Gareki said.

Of course, you've been wanting a library with technical study books in them for so long. It's about time that they put those in. Especially since you have a test coming up in your technology class. she said.

Your right. I'm going to check it out later. After work. Gareki said opening the door of the bar. They both went inside.

The bar was a popular one. And the inside was amazing. once you opened the door the bar counter went strait touching the other side of the wall. The counter was made of black wood the chairs were high seats with flower pattern design on the back. The sealing lights were hanging down over each table. The tables were made of black wood also. The seating chairs were black chairs with a red cushion. the floor of the bar was black and white tile. the paint on the walls was a deep red color.

It was a nice place for teenagers to go. Most of the people that came here were teenagers or they were in there 20s or 30s. The bar was mainly for younger ages.

The drinks they gave out some were for adults and some were for teenage ages.

flipping the closed sigh to open. Gareki walked behind the bar and started to whip glasses. Airi put the purse she was carrying in one of the bottom cabinets that weren't used for customers.

getting up to her feet she asked. So who's the guy?

Gareki grabbed another glass and whipped it. what guy? he asked. to focused to look up

don't play dumb, it's been a whole year. Don't tell me you still haven't found a boyfriend. she said. Gareki put the glass down and looked over at her I still haven't found a boyfriend.

She sighed. Ok... what guys are you into any way?

Why the sudden questions? he asked.

Becuase your my friend. and it's been a long time since you last had a boyfriend. You need one. she said. Don't worry about me, I'm fine being alone for now. I mean look I have work to go to and colege I don't think I can fit a boyfriend in right now. Gareki explained.

I'm still going to help you... how about that guy? she said pointing at a teenage boy with light brown hair coming into the bar. Gareki grabbed her wrist, if he sees you pointing he's going to think this is a bad place to hang out.

Oh whoops. Airi said putting her hand down. Gareki sighed and asked the boy what he wanted to order.

The rest of the work hour went by in giving drinks to customers, By the time they were done. gareki flipped the sign to closed as he did this he saw that the rain was finally coming down... hard.

looks like the rain came down. It's about time. said a voice. It belonged to there boss. Hiroshi.

hiroshi was a busy man who mainly stayed in his office doing paper work. He was in his 20s,he was also a good person and gave good advise to gareki and airi.

yeah I hope my car doesn't get damaged. said Airi. grabbing her purse she said goodby to gareki and hiroshi. opening the door and ran to her jeep.

later. Gareki said grabbing his car keys. I'll see you tommarow he said to hiroshi, as he ran towards his mercedes. getting behind the will and closeing the door. He started up the car and positions his view mirror. While doing this he remmebered going to the library across the street for the books he needed to study with.

Pressing the gas pedal and turning on his window whippers he drove across the street. Good, it was still open. he thought to himself. parking the car gareki got out getting drenched immediately. he sighed and closed the car door. running up to the library entrance. opening the door and going inside.

His black hair drooped in front of his eye sight. Moving some of it to the side he walked towards the counter.

once he was close enough he saw a man with golden blonde hair sleeping with his head resting on one hand.

Is this guy seriously sleeping on the job. gareki muttered. hey, wake up he said

the man didn't move

you do realize your sleeping on the job, right. Gareki said louder.

the man still didn't move.

gareki sighed looking on the mans desk he saw a bell. grabbing the handle and putting it close to the mans ears and wiggled it from side to side. makeing a loud noise.

The man snapped his eyes opened. gareki stopped immediately. once he saw the mans eyes. they were a light purple color with little specks of green and yellow. he had never seen some thing like that before.

I'm sorry about that. I get tired easily when it's no one in the library. what can i help you with. said the man in a cheerful voice.

putting down the bell gareki asked. can you show me where the technical books are?

Sure. we just got them. the man said getting up to show gareki where the books were.

Gareki followed him.

I guess no one comes to the library when it's raining so hard. said the man.

yeah. It makes since. My friend had told me about the new books that this place had just got. I decided I wanted to check it out for an upcoming test.

Wow you must be smart if your taking a test about technoligy.

I guess you could say that. said gareki

whats your name? asked the man

it's gareki. why?

If you ever want to check out any books here you can come by any time. answered the man.

Well thanks... uh
