Note: This is mostly manga, but I love the drama personalities so much, so if there's a little attitude or school/dorm layout swap, it's probably just that.

Chapter 1

Nakatsu sighed as he walked down the quiet hallway, back to his dorm room. He'd obviously chosen the wrong time to confess to Mizuki. Again... He wasn't even really confessing, he'd just asked him out to dinner. Again...

He stopped in the hallway, not wanting to face the confrontation he was sure to have with Kayashima when he got back; he always knew just what to say to make Nakatsu break down. Sometimes it was what he needed, sometimes it just hurt to much to hear. As he continued walking, he tried not to cry, remembering his painful encounter with Mizuki just earlier.

Nakatsu couldn't remember a time when he'd be in a better mood. The school had just informed him that the player that had taken his position on the soccer team had been expelled. He knew there was something up with that guy! He'd said it from the very beginning and he though no one was listening. Apparently they were and he had just taken back his rank. He just had to celebrate and who better with than his best friend?

It didn't take long to find him and when he did, ran up to Mizuki, excited as ever, and brought him into a huge hug, lifting the much smaller boy off of the ground. When a quick "hey, Nakatsu" was the only response he got, he let the other boy down, determined to get a 'date' out of him before he could scamper off to hang out with Sano.

"So, Mizuki! I've got big news to celebrate over dinner and you're coming with me!" He grabbed Mizuki's arm and began to drag him away towards their favourite restaurant, when Mizuki suddenly pulled back against him.

"No, Nakatsu! I don't want to go with you!" Mizuki pulled out of Nakatsu's grip. "Not even for a celebration dinner, not now, not ever! We're just friends and it's going to stay that way, so just get over it already!"

By the time Mizuki was done, he'd looked like he was going to cry. Before Nakatsu could react, he'd run away. Nakatsu had decided that obviously something had happened to make him snap like that. He definitely wouldn't say those things normally! He's never taken such a harsh tone with anyone, no matter what they'd done. Of course he wouldn't tell Nakatsu what was wrong, but he believed in him. He must have a good reason... Right?

He tried to reassure himself that Mizuki didn't really mean those things, he was just having a hard time dealing with the thought of being gay, like he had. As he was making up reasons, he had finished his walk back to his room. He stopped outside the door, hand on the knob, wondering to himself "Why am I so nervous about seeing Kayashima after this? If anyone, he's the best person to give me advice."

Trying to act casual, he opened the door and began to yell his usual "Kayashima, I'm back!" only to be cut short at the sight on Kayashima hunched over the edge of Nakatsu's lower-level bed[1, breathing quite heavily. He ran over quickly, grabbing Kayashima by the shoulder, to see what was wrong. Maybe one of the St. Blossom girls had put in another Brittany Spears CD and he could sense it all the way from here.. That usually made him pretty sick.

"Kayashima, what's wrong? Should I go get Umeda?" Kayashima didn't respond, he only looked up pleadingly at Nakatsu, his face was enough to surpass even Nakatsu's famous visions. His hair was damp with sweat, clinging to his face; his eyes were barely open and his lips were only slightly parted, despite the fact that he seemed to be gasping for air. Never before had he taken the time to really look at Kayashima, but he began to realize what a beautiful roommate he's had all along.

Shaking off the impure thoughts that were sure to come from the situation, he lightly tapped his roommate's face, trying to get some sort of response from him. He responded by making a short series of pained faces and then threw his head into Nakatsu's chest to muffle his cries.

Just as Nakatsu was becoming seriously worried, he could feel Kayashima calming down. His breath was coming more regularly and his shaking and crying had almost completely ceased. He just sat there, confused, rubbing his roommate's back and hair, trying his best to comfort him, despite absolutely having no idea what was going on.

As he continued to pet Kayashima's hair he got the feeling that something wasn't right. His roommate had brought his hand up to Nakatsu's chest as if to push himself away, but he stayed where he was. He then slowly moved his head from resting on Nakatsu's chest to his shoulder, as he began to whisper in Nakatsu's ear.

"You're such a good friend, Nakatsu..." he whispered, lips barely touching Nakatsu's newly sensitive ear. "I don't know how I could ever repay you for all of your help..." His hand ghosted over Nakatsu's chest, feeling how quickly his friend's heart was beating. Nakatsu shivered at the combination of seemingly innocent touches from his friend, wondering if everything was really all right.

"Eh? Uh.. You don't really need to repay me or anything, you've helped me out a lot! I mean, that's what roommates are for, right? And friends.. We're friends too, aren't we? I mean, I always thought we were friends, but if you don't think so, well.." After he felt that his roommate had enough time to nervously blabber to himself, Kayashima brought his hand up to cover Nakatsu's lips, hushing him.

Nakatsu froze when he felt Kayashima's warm fingers caressing his lips. Now he was sure something was wrong.
