As usual Shirogane was following Akira everywhere and this was annoying him, but the shadow didn't care, because all he could think about was the fact that he was alone with Akira.

"Shirogane, stop following me." he said angrily.

"Aah...But I want to be with you every minute I can." the shadow said completely unaware of the situation."Am I bothering you?"

"Yeah." the teenager said straight away.

"You say that, but I think that If I were gone you would feel lonely." he said to tease Akira.

"...Not at all."

Shirogane noticed the reaction of the teenager and knew Akira wouldn't admited, but deep inside he wouldn't like Shirogane to go away.

"Well...If I am such a bother to you I will leave you alone."after saying that he disappeared.

"Thank God...Finally some peace..."

Akira went to school and after a long day of skipping class and escaping from Aya, he entered his room and realized that Shirogane still hasn't came back; he was surprised that the shadow wasn't there waiting for him like always did.

"Where did that guy go?" he said and sat on the bed."Well , at least, I am alone and can sleep in peace."

Although he said that, the brown hair boy missed Shirogane, but he just couldn't admit it or maybe he didn't understand what he was feeling, but the teenager felt lonely in the room.

"He said that he would be by my side no matter what. That idiot..." he said covering himself with a blanket and going to sleep.

After a while, somebody entered the room. It was Shirogane giggling while looking at Akira's mad sleeping face.

"I know you will never admit it, but I can't help myself doing that. I love to see your face worrying about me, Akira-kun." he said smiling.

Shirogane sat near the bed and cuddled Akira's hair. Sensing somebody was there, the teenager woke up very sleepy and saw the shadow near him.

"Shirogane...?"

"Yes, Akira-kun?"

"You made me worry... I...I felt lonely without you... Don't leave my side ever again..." he said, going to sleep again.

"...Akira-kun?...He slept again...I can't believe it..."

In the morning, Akira was ready to go to school and noticed that Shirogane was constantly thinking of something.

"What is the matter, Shirogane?"

"...Eh? It's nothing..."

"...Ok, let's go. If I miss school, Aya will bother me again. I hate when she does that."

"Yes..."

In that moment all Shirogane could think of was what Akira said that night. "You made me worry...I...I felt lonely without you..."

'I think you can't remember, Akira-kun, but it is because of these things you say so innocently that I love you more and more.' he thought happily.

"Shirogane, what are you doing? Let's go!"

"Oh...Ok!"
