Touya had never had a friend before, always preferring his own company over others. However, since he was so good at sports which made the girls giggle around him, he was very much admired by his classmates. He usually ignored them, and spoke when spoken to. It didn't really bother him.

Now, however, he found himself in a dilemma. He had a friend. And he did not know what to do with him. He was sitting in his seat, having been the first one to arrive when a cheerful voice calling out his name nearly made him fall over backwards.

"Hi."

Yukito put down his bag on the ground, chewing on a piece of bread.

Touya looked at the lanky boy, "Hey."

Without another word, Yukito sat down and dug in his bag and brought out another piece of bread wrapped in plastic. He held it out to Touya, offering but the dark haired boy just raised his hand, to decline.

Yukito tore into the bread, "I'm really hungry. I just had three eggs for breakfast and two bowls of cereal."

Touya raised a brow and spoke without thinking, "Just?"

Yukito laughed, "I eat a lot. I don't know why." He stared morosely down at his stomach, "I never seem to gain any weight though. It's a little disappointing."

He looked so sad that Touya chuckled.

The arrival of the teacher had Yukito stuffing the rest of the bread into his mouth. Touya took out his handkerchief and offered it to his companion, chin resting on his hand.

When Yukito looked confused, Touya pointed at his mouth indicating that he had crumbs all over. Blushing and grinning at the same time, Yukito wiped his face and then stuck the cloth into his own pocket. The dark haired boy hid his grin and took out his books.

If nothing, his new friend was very amusing.

In Physical Education class, Yukito got paired up with Touya and the latter found out that he had a rival in the game. Yukito was just as good as him. As they went to get cleaned up, Touya nudged the fair haired boy, "You're going to get your own fan club if you're not careful."

Yukito grinned, "I bet I can steal yours."

"You're welcome to them." Was Touya's parting remarked as he raced towards the locker room.

"You're no fun!" Yukito called out, rushing after him, shaking his head.

Touya found it amazing how quickly he adapted to this new person in his life. It was like he was naturally drawn towards Yukito. As school ended, he unlocked his bicycle and waited for Yukito who was running towards him, a little out of breath.

"Where are you going, Touya?"

Touya sat down on his bike, "I'm working part time at the cafe downtown. My shift's about to start."

Yukito looked at him, his eyes lighting up, "Cafe? As in, will there be food?"

"Not free, you'll have to pay for it."

"Oh, I'll join you."

He quickly located his bike and went about unlocking it as his friend informed him, "I'll be working. We won't be able to hang out."

Yukito sat on his bike, "It's okay. I'll find something to do."

It just seemed so natural that he would hang around waiting for Touya's shift to end that neither of them questioned it and went on their way.

It was to Yukito's delight and surprise when they discovered that Sakura was at the Remington Cafe with her friend. They had just arrived and Touya decided to go wait on them.

It was very funny to see his sister's red face when she saw that he was their waiter, "Big Brother! What are you doing here?"

Touya rolled his eyes, "I work here. Now what do you want to order?" He widened his eyes, mockingly, "Oh, how about the Monster Cake for the Monster?"

Sakura scowled, "I'm not a monster!"

Her brother blinked, "Are you sure? Wasn't that you last night stomping upstairs?"

Sakura blushed and wailed, "I am not a monster!"

Touya grinned as he watched his sister's friend calm her down.

"Don't be mean to Sakura, Touya."

At Yukito's voice, Sakura's head snapped up and she blushed all over again, but this time for a different reason, "Yukito-san!" She shot her smirking brother an evil look that promised retribution and smiled at his friend, her cheeks a permanent red.

Yukito bent down to her level, smiling at her, "Don't listen to Touya. What are you two ladies doing here?"

"Sakura and I are here for ice cream." Sakura's friend piped up, when she noticed her friend was lost for words.

"Oh, then can I join you?"

Touya rolled his eyes at his sister and his friend, "Well, what can I get the three of you? I have other customers too, you know?"

Yukito sat opposite Sakura and ordered half the menu, whilst being watched by the two wide eyed little girls. Sakura and her friend, whom she had introduced as Tomoyo, ordered simply ice cream, though Touya doubted either of them would be able to eat that much seeing as they would probably be staring at Yukito devour his own food.

It took a little while for the order to be prepared and Touya watched his friend interact with Sakura and Tomoyo, a gentle look on his face.

Yukito always had that particular aura about him, gentle and kind, and so frail. He looked so delicate that there had been a few moments where Touya had wanted to wrap the boy up and hide him somewhere to keep him safe. He looked like a slight wind would blow him over.

"Hey."

Touya blinked.

The subject of his thoughts was standing in front of him, giving him a concerned look. Seeing that his friend was back in the world of the living, Youkito grinned, "You were staring at us so hard that I decided to come here and ask you what's wrong."

Touya shook his head, running a hand through his hair, "It's nothing. I'll go get your food. Keep an eye on Sakura. She has a bad habit of talking to strangers."

"Aren't I a stranger?" A small smile was playing on Yukito's lips.

Touya stared at him and then brushed past him, murmuring, "You're not a stranger."

He didn't turn around, otherwise he would have glimpsed the blush on Yukito's cheeks.

It seemed that Sakura was not the only one who had formed a crush on someone.

It was half hour later that Sakura got off her seat and came up to her brother, "Tomoyo will drop me home, okay?"

Touya kneeled down to her level, "Are you sure? My shift will end in an hour."

His sister nodded her head, stubbornly, "Yes. Dad will be home. I'll call you when I reach."

"Okay, Monster." He mussed up her hair, whistling when she protested. His eyes didn't leave her form as she raced back to her friend and they walked out of the cafe holding hands. He watched them get into Tomoyo's car and only then did he turn his eyes away to look for his friend, who didn't seem anywhere in the vicinity. Had he left?

As he went to collect another order from the kitchen, his mind was occupied by his missing friend. Minutes later, as he exited the kitchen, his eyes fell on the fair haired boy sitting at a table, reading a book. He delivered the order and went up to him, "Where'd you go? I thought you had left?"

Yukito looked confused, "No, I saw this bookstore so I went to get a book."

"Oh." Touya glanced outside, "It's getting dark. Don't you want to go home?"

Yukito shook his head, "I'm fine. Besides, my grandparents still haven't arrived. I'll wait for your shift to end."

Toua shrugged. It felt nice though, the feeling of someone waiting for him.

An hour later, he approached the only customer left, "Come on, let's go."

Yukito closed his book, grinning, "All this reading is making me hungry."

Touya shook his head, "Come on. I'll buy you something to eat on the way home." He pushed open the door and the two exited the building, making their way to where their bikes were standing.

Touya unlocked his bike and was just about to stand when he noticed a car swerve wildly. It was aimed right a Yukito. His mind going blank, he rushed forward, and grabbing Yukito by the arm, he yanked him towards himself, making them both stumble, Yukito ending up under him.

The shorter boy blinked, "W-What?"

Arms on both sides of his head, Touya tried to calm his racing heart, "The car. It was going to hit you."

"You saved me." Yukito breathed. A second later, he asked, "Does this mean we're best friends now?"

Touya chuckled and sitting back, he pulled the boy up too. As he watched Yukito brush his clothes to get off the dirt, his heart clenched. It had been too close.

"What?" Yukito asked, startled by the intense expression in Touya's eyes. "Is there something on my face?"

Without thinking, Touya murmured, "Yeah," and leaned forward to wipe his thumb on his friend's perfectly clean cheek, his eyes never leaving his.

After a few seconds of silence, Yukito broke it, looking down at his uniform's pants and commenting. "Well these are ruined." He gave Touya a mournful look, "I'll have to get new ones tomorrow."

Touya just shook his head and grinned, "Come on. I promised you food."

As they sat on their respective bikes, Yukito asked, "Can I come over for dinner today, as well?"

His friend gave him a look, "Where do you keep your food?"

Yukito laughed gaily, "It's a secret."

A.N: I hope you enjoyed this. Some of the coming chapters will be more like drabbles. ( I didn't particularly like this chapter. When I write fic, I watch the show and get a feel of the characters. Here I am playing blind. Because this is how their relationship progressed to where it is now, I need to come up with moments and instances which strengthened their bond. ANd it is kinda hard when I know so little of their characters)
