Warnings: Shounen-ai

Pairings: For now, only Youhei and Sendoh, later will have glimpse of RuxHana.

This is actually a continuation of another fic of mine, called Gomen... you don't really need to read it but it'll _kind of_ tell you how our beloved Youhei-kun got with Sendoh-kun. R&R please!

[And if Shi-chan-san is reading this at all, I was thinking about writing Youhei and Sendoh and you gave me a nice review... so that gave me some confidence. arigatou! this chapter is for you!]

Sendoh POV

When did I fall in love with him? The best friend of the person that I thought was my love...? I have no idea but... but it makes me happy that Hana-kun didn't accept me and went after Rukawa instead.

As I lay here, thinking, I realize how much I love him. I look down at him, the teenager who is misunderstood by most of society, thought of to be a gangster and a brute when he is actually sweet and kind, fighting only when he is forced to. When we're not alone, when we're among friends, he has a mask up over his face. He hides himself from the rest of the world and when he shows me his real self, he shows me how much he loves me.

I stroke his hair, knowing how much he loves it when it's touched. He purs in his sleep, snuggling closer to me. I grin and continue to stroke him, knowing that he will be embarrassed when he wakes up. But to my surprise, he only smiles at me happily.

"Ara? You're awake... but it's only 7:00 in the morning, You-kun."

Youhei just gave me a gentle kiss before bounding out of bed. "Guess what today is?" //Today is a special day...?//



Youhei glared at Sendoh as Sendoh tried to figure out what day it was. "I can't believe you don't know!"

"What? What is it?"

Sendoh looked genuinely confused. Youhei could feel hurt overwhelming him and he turned and stomped out of the room, changing his shirt and grabbing a pair of pants from the closet.

"You-kun! Come on, tell me!"

Youhei quickly pulled on the pants and snatched the keys from the counter. Sendoh followed him around, surprised that Youhei was so angry. He gasped when he saw Youhei turn around, crying.

"You... You-kun!"

"It's my birthday!"

With those words, Youhei ran out the door.

"Oh, shit."
