《I love Shounen》


 Pretty Boy

    Senichi Kato was your average everyday blue haired, purple eyed high school student. Well not really, see Kato was never considered popular. When girls asked him out, it was only to lure him into cruel pranks that left Kato feeling like he was better off not existing. He wasn¡¯t good at sports and his grades were just above passing. So, he wasn¡¯t an average high school student. Really, he was a nobody.


    Then it happened, he arrived¡­


    ¡°Class please be quiet and take your seats, we have a long day ahead of us,¡± said the teacher.


    The students took their seats quickly. Kato went to take his but was tripped by one of the female students. The entire class laughed but the teacher was not amused.


    ¡°Apologize to Senichi-san right now,¡± commanded the teacher.


    ¡°Sowwy Senichi-san, next time I won¡¯t be so obvious,¡± said the girl.


    Kato stood up and dusted himself off. He continued to his seat without making eye contact with any. The teacher shook his head with a sigh. He then nodded to the door leading into the class. Everyone gasped, well everyone except Kato who paid no mind to who had just entered.


    Boy, slim build, with golden blonde hair and bright green eyes entered the classroom. He his skin was so fair and free of blemishes. His facial features seemed too pristine to be real and the way he carried himself was almost that of a prince.


    ¡°Class this is Endo Yutaka, he will be joining our class from this point on. Endo-san, say hello to the class,¡± said the teacher.


    Yutaka bowed to everyone. When he spoke, his voice was light and low toned but at the same time carried a strong and stern feel to it. Kato finally looked at Yutaka and for some reason it looked like Yutaka was looking directly at him when he spoke.


    ¡°Hello everyone, my name is Endo Yutaka, let¡¯s all get along please,¡± said Yutaka giving a bright smile.


    The classroom erupted with squeals from the girls. Each one bombarding Yutaka with questions. They asked him everything from what his sign is to how many kids did he want. The teacher told them they could talk to him after class. This made all the girls pout.


    ¡°Now then, Endo-san, your seat is over there behind Senichi-san,¡± said the teacher pointing at Kato.


    Yutaka walked up to Kato and gave him a warm smile and extended his hand to him.


    ¡°Looks like we¡¯ll be stuck with each other for a while huh,¡± asked Yutaka.


    ¡°Ah, yeah¡­ I guess¡­¡± said Kato taking Yutaka¡¯s hand in his own.


    Kato couldn¡¯t help but blush at the sudden embarrassment he felt from being singled out like this. Kato looked around and saw all the girls give him a death glare, actually it was more like he could feel. He knew he was going to pay for this. Yutaka takes his seat and the teacher finally begins class.The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    The first half class had ended and it was time for lunch. Kato had brought his own bento and was about to dig in. That¡¯s when a girl walking pass bumped into his desk knocking it over. The girl looked back at Kato giving him a look of disgust as she walked over to Yutaka.


    ¡°So, um Endo-san, do you want to come to the cafeteria with us,¡± asked the girl.


    ¡°Heh, I actually packed my own today,¡± said Yutaka.


    ¡°Eh?! Endo-san cooks too? Would you mind if I join you,¡± asked the girl?


    Yutaka looks pass the girl and see¡¯s Kato looking through his wallet with a very depressed look on his face.


    ¡°Um, actually I was thinking of eating alone today. It¡¯s my first day after all, so I want to take some time to get use to the place first,¡± said Yutaka with a dismissive smile.


    The girl pouts and sulks when she sees that Yutaka isn¡¯t going to give in to her advances. She walks away and leaves the classroom but not before giving Kato another dirty look. Once the girl leaves, Kato makes his way for the door but is stopped by Yutaka.


    ¡°Hey, wanna join me for lunch? I make a lot of food so I that I can eat the leftovers when I get home but I don¡¯t mind sharing with you,¡± said Yutaka.


    ¡°But the that girl before¡­¡±


    ¡°She seemed nice but, I really didn¡¯t feel like being smothered by all the girls in our class,¡± said Yutaka.


    Kato takes a moment to think about Yutaka¡¯s invitation. Yutaka gives him the same warm smile he did earlier which made Kato blush again. Kato nodded and took a seat next to Yutaka. Yutaka gives him the top tray of his bento and Kato bows in thanks. Yutaka watches as Kato takes his first bite. His face lights up at in surprise at how tasty it was.


    ¡°Wow, and you made this by yourself,¡± asked Kato.


    ¡°Yeah, do you like it,¡± asked Yutaka.


    ¡°Yes, very much so,¡± said Kato.


    ¡°I¡¯m glade,¡± said Yutaka with a wide smile.


    Kato stops eating all together and sighs. This makes Yutaka a little concerned.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, did I prepare something wrong? Is the pork under cooked,¡± asked Yutaka?


    ¡°No, it¡¯s just¡­ why,¡± asked Kato.


    ¡°Why what,¡± asked Yutaka.


    ¡°Why are being nice to me,¡± asked Kato.


    ¡°I don¡¯t-¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s weird, you know¡­. You just got here and suddenly, I¡¯m your focus of interest? Why,¡± asked Kato.


    Yutaka doesn¡¯t say a word and just looks down at his tray. Kato stands up and makes his way for the door when he was stopped again by Yutaka.


    ¡°I have a couple of reason why, but for now let¡¯s just say it¡¯s because you¡¯re different from the others,¡± said Yutaka.


    ¡°I¡¯m different,¡± asked Kato.


    ¡°When I entered the room, you were the only one that didn¡¯t praise me. Even some of the guys took note of how I look. I don¡¯t know I just want to be around someone who isn¡¯t star struck,¡± said Yutaka.


    Kato scratches the back of his head and sighs. He sits back down with Yutaka and begins eating the bento again.


    ¡°Hey Senichi-san you should try this fried asparagus I think I seasoned it just right,¡± said Yutaka.


    Yutaka picks up the asparagus and holds it up to Kato¡¯s face. Kato eats it out of his hand and nods at Yutaka. Yutaka smiles and sucks his fingers clean of the seasoning left by the asparagus. It was at that moment the two stopped and realized what had just happen. Both Kato and Yutaka blush and look away from each other for a moment. Kato swallows hard and clears his throat as he gives a nervous laugh.


    ¡°So, um¡­ that was-¡±


    ¡°Weird,¡± asked Yutaka finishing what Kato was about to say.


    ¡°Yeah¡­¡± said Kato now looking at the bento tray.


    The two-stayed quiet for a little longer before finally finishing their meals. Kato hands the tray back to Yutaka and bows in thanks again and goes back to his seat. The rest of the class started to flood in immediately after.


    During the second half of class Kato was still a little red from lunch and he couldn¡¯t stop thinking about what Yutaka did. Kato then feels something slip into his left pocket. He looks back at Yutaka who is also a little red in the face. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny piece of paper that had a number on it and Yutaka¡¯s name. Kato didn¡¯t know it but there was a slight smile on his face. This was the first time he had a friend since being at this school.

 The Confession

    That night after school Kato sat in his room looking at the number Yutaka gave him. He held his cell phone in the other hand and was staring at the two in turn. What was he waiting for, here he had the number of his first real friend and he hasn¡¯t even put it into his phone yet. Kato decides to put it into his phone but stops half way. What if this was just another trick. It wouldn¡¯t have been the first time he was tricked into a situation like this. Kato places the paper with Yutaka¡¯s number on it on his dresser and goes to bed.


    The next day in class Kato sees Yutaka talking to a few of their classmates. It was obvious he wouldn¡¯t have trouble making friends. Yutaka caught Kato¡¯s gaze making Kato look away quickly. Yutaka motions to say something to Kato but the teacher walks and instructs everyone to take their seat.


    The first half of class had finished and everyone was heading to the cafeteria for lunch. Yutaka pulls out the bento he packed the night before and look towards Kato¡¯s desk only to see the boy had already left the class. Yutaka had a slight concerned look on his face as to why Kato would leave.


    ¡°Perhaps he really doesn¡¯t want to be my friend,¡± Yutaka mumbled to himself.


    ¡°Did you hear,¡± asked a girl standing outside the classroom.


    ¡°Yeah, they caught the dweeb walking to the cafeteria like he was a normal person,¡± said the other girl.


    ¡°Serves him right, that bastard think he can talk to our precious Endo-san,¡± said the first girl.


    ¡°We should hurry, I heard they took him to the roof. I don¡¯t want to miss out on that weird little freaks punishment,¡± said the other girl.


    Yutaka listened closely at what the girls were saying. Yutaka could feel his stomach turn at what he heard. He just knew they were talking about Kato. Yutaka quickly makes for where the others were.


    ¡°The roof, got to get to the roof,¡± said Yutaka racing down the hallway.


    Yutaka makes it to the stairs leading to the roof and already he could hear the faint sound of students laughing. He slowly makes his way up the stairs; each step brings the noise louder and clearer. Yutaka slowly opens the door and peers outside to see Kato in the center of the entire class. He was bleeding and bruised; tears filled his eyes and rolled down his cheek. His uniform was forced open and his bare-naked body was exposed to everyone. There was writing all over his body that read: ¡°worthless¡±, ¡°hated¡±, ¡°freak¡±, and ¡°loser¡±. But what really hurt Yutaka the most was the look in Kato¡¯s eyes. They were empty and devoid of all hope. Kato didn¡¯t flinch or move when the male students began pulling at his hair. Yutaka finally had enough, he couldn¡¯t bear to watch anymore. He burst through the door startling everyone.This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.


    ¡°All of you¡­¡± Yutaka whispered.


    ¡°Eh, hey Endo-san, what are you doing here,¡± asked one of the male students in a nervous voice.


    Yutaka snaps his head up, tears filled his eyes and anger was etched hard on his face.


    ¡°What the hell are you all doing to Senichi-san,¡± yelled Yutaka.


    Everyone stood there for a moment with depressed looks on their faces. Kato sat on the ground looking at everyone surprised at how they reacted to the question. Yutaka made his way to Kato shoving everyone out the way. He began to tend to Kato¡¯s clothes, the other students stood there for a moment more before slowly making their way back into the building leaving the two alone.


    ¡°Senichi-san, are you okay,¡± asked Yutaka trying to wipe the blood from Kato¡¯s face.


    ¡°Why,¡± Kato whispered in a low tone.


    ¡°What,¡± said Yutaka looking confused.


    Kato pushed Yutaka way and struggled to get up. He began to lumber his way to the door wiping the tears from his eyes. Yutaka grabs Kato¡¯s arm keeping him from leaving. Kato violently tries to shake himself free but Yutaka was stronger, not to mention the damage Kato received from the bullying. Kato turned to claw at Yutaka¡¯s hand but was surprised by the sensation of his lips press tightly to Yutaka. Kato immediately lost what little strength he had left in his body and sank to the floor. Yutaka slowly pulled away, blush lightly touching his face. The two sat there quiet for a moment before Yutaka spoke.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry but I just couldn¡¯t resist anymore,¡± said Yutaka touching his own lips.


    ¡°What, what was that,¡± asked Kato.


    ¡°I believe that was a kiss, my first kiss actually. What about you,¡± asked Yutaka.


    ¡°It¡­ it was¡­¡± said Kato.


    ¡°I¡¯m glad,¡± said Yutaka smiling brightly.


    ¡°But why,¡± asked Kato.


    Yutaka looked down with sad eyes.


    ¡°Remember why I said I had a couple of reasons as to why I wanted to be your friend,¡± asked Yutaka.


    Kato nods slightly.


    ¡°From the first time, I met you¡­ I¡¯ve kind of had a crush on you¡­¡± said Yutaka blushing more.


    Kato considered what Yutaka said for a moment. Yutaka took the silence as Kato wanting to be left alone and made his way for the door. That¡¯s when he felt Kato pull on his arm and turn him around. Yutaka was then met with a passionate kiss from Kato that made his knees buckle a little. Kato looks deep into Yutaka¡¯s eyes making the boy look away bashfully with a slight smile on his face.


    ¡°You know, you never called me last night, and this morning it felt like you hated me for some reason,¡± said Yutaka.


    Kato look down at his feet blushing from embarrassment.


    ¡°I¡­ I have my reasons for that, it¡¯s really hard for me to trust you know,¡± said Kato.


    Yutaka tries to fix Kato¡¯s hair a little and wipes the remaining tears from his face.


    ¡°Well I hope on day you can trust me, but until then let¡¯s get you cleaned up,¡± said Yutaka.


    Kato looks at his uniform and sighs in despair. Yutaka hugs him tightly and strokes his hair back. Kato¡¯s face is extremely red but he quickly accepts Yutaka¡¯s embrace. This felt really nice, Kato thought.
